Another half hour passed, and Charlotte Shaw made her third call to Ethan Lockwood.
"BEEP..."
This time, Ethan Lockwood answered the moment the first ring finished.
"What is it now?" Ethan Lockwood's voice was clear, but tinged with obvious impatience. "Charlotte Shaw, don't tell me you're calling again just to say you still haven't made up your mind."
"Oh?" Charlotte Shaw laughed. "How'd you guess?"
"...Charlotte Shaw, I really don't have time to play games with you!" Ethan Lockwood was furious, but mindful that he still needed a favor from her, he could only let out a small burst of temper.
"If you haven't decided, then take your time and think it over. Once you've decided, we can talk seriously. It's the middle of the night. You might not be sleeping, but I am. Can you please stop messing with me on purpose?"
"...Oh." Charlotte Shaw's voice suddenly dropped. "I get it. I'll stop bothering you."
