Chapter 45 Choosing my Outfit

Ding!...

Ding!...

Hera was abruptly awoken by a flurry of text notifications, followed by an incoming call. She groggily reached for her phone on the bedside table, her eyes barely open.

Without bothering to check the caller ID, Hera answered the call and settled back into her bed.

"Hello?" Her voice was still hoarse and lazy.

There was no immediate response, prompting Hera to reluctantly open her eyes and glance at the screen. She squinted at the glowing display, realizing it was only 6 in the morning, and the call was still connected. She repeated her greeting.

"Hello? Who's calling?"

"Did I wake you up?" A hoarse male voice crackled through the line, causing Hera to focus on the screen again. Seeing a series of unfamiliar numbers, she confirmed it wasn't someone she knew.

"It's okay, I was just about to wake up anyway. Who's calling?" She inquired, shifting in her bed.
