Not now...
Wait.
He glanced at the screen as it rang again,
"Hello" he answered, hurrying towards Marie as she opened the door and was waiting for him to enter.
"Hello, Trent..."
"I'm kind of busy right now, so I think---"
"The Billionaire husband stuffs himself" she chuckled, cutting in.
What?
"What's that now?"
"That's what you're being called online... There's a video trending already"
Fuck.
"I hear you're meeting Yvaine tonight"
He glanced at Marie sharply, reducing then phone's volume.
"You're going to make this confusing for whoever hears" he growled softly in a whisper
"Oh..." She mused, "She's there isn't she? I've gotta---"
"Why did you call?"
She fell silent for a while,
"To pass words from the leader. He says to pass them"
"Alright... What does he want to say?" He turned to Marie, signalling her to hold on a bit
"Good luck. You've done well, Stella"
"What?" He cringed,
"That's what he said"
