Morrison heard her fall silent on the other end, his voice soft and curious.
"Why so quiet?"
"Oh."
Lilian snapped back to reality.
"You should get back to work. Didn't you say you have a meeting later?"
Morrison chuckled.
"Dummy."
He wasn't really meeting anyone. That was just an excuse so her parents wouldn't think it was weird for him to be dressed so formally. But she actually believed him.
Then, lowering his voice to a smooth, tempting murmur, he teased,
"Seriously not coming back to your place tonight?"
Lilian blushed instantly, knowing exactly what he was trying to do.
"No, no, don't ask me that again."
She hurriedly cut him off, afraid he'd say more,
"Alright, I gotta eat something now. I'm hanging up."
And with that, she ended the call.
Morrison glanced at his phone, smiled softly, then slid into his car and drove away.
