Julien stared at his phone. He knew Lydia would be upset, but he never thought she would be that upset. He let out a big sigh. He leaned back in his seat. He realized he'd been sighing a lot these days. His head and his heart were a mess. Even his body was starting to follow. Lydia, the bank, and now his childhood friend, Adrien, everything weighed heavy on his mind.

Julien looked at his watch. 12:30 pm. He had about thirty minutes before the meeting. He reached for his phone, scrolled through the names of the people that he recently called, and clicked on a name near the top.
The phone rang for a while. Julien knew this person was not the type to ignore his call, so for him to take this long to pick up the phone, he must've been busy at the moment. He was about to end the call when a familiar voice answered.
