Anna stared at the phone with boredom and had zero interest in picking the call until it stopped ringing. But she knew they would keep calling until she answered the call.
And as she had expected,the phone started ringing again.
"What a drag!" She said before sliding her thumb across the relieved button and waited for the person to speak first.
"Greetings Young Miss," Carl's voice came through, and for a second, Anna sighed in rel8ef but then remembered that her mother must be nearly waiting for the phone to be passed to her.
"Carl, how are you?" Anna asked. There was no need to lose her cool with him when the one she didn't want to hear from was her mother, and he was only following instructions
"I fine, Miss. I…." He replied, but Anna interjected the moment he was going to day something else.
