A flicker of anxiety crossed James‘ face.
Sophie replied coldly. “It’s none of your business.“

“A call? What call? James looked bewildered. He had never received any call!
Jenna scoffed, “How convenient that you’re playing dumb now.”
James hurriedly explained, “Sophie, listen, I truly didn’t receive any call.”
“I was just going to inform you. I wasn’t actually planning on having you accompany me. It’s fine that you didn’t get the call.” Sophie didn’t want to argue with James any further. “If you’re trying to apologize, then let me tell you I don’t blame you. Can we pass now?”
