"Hi," Michael's smooth voice flowed from the phone's speakers as the recorded voicemail message began to play automatically. "I can't come to the phone right now but feel free to leave a message so I can—"
Olivia cut the rest of the recording short with a sigh as she ended the call attempt. She had no idea how many times she had listened to the same recording over and over for the past few days. Since their disastrous talk in his office that day, Michael had seemingly gone off the grid in terms of communication. No matter how Olivia tried, she could not reach him. Her calls were always left unanswered, and her text messages had been piling up without a single response from him.
