Chapter: 435
Alicia couldn't address the issue with Caden openly, so she turned to her phone and typed out a message.
"Has Joshua arrived yet?" she texted.
Caden's phone vibrated on the table in front of him.
Aware that it was from Alicia, he chose to ignore it and casually swirled the drink in his glass.
Frustrated by his indifference, Alicia clenched her teeth.
Then, she decided to send another message.
“The art exhibition is almost over. Are you going to handle the business today or not?"
Caden noticed how aggressively she was typing. It looked as if she might punch through the screen.
He raised an eyebrow but then closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
Alicia was exasperated.
Unable to hold back any longer, she began bombarding him with angry face emojis.
Caden's phone buzzed continuously.
It edged closer to the table's edge with each vibration.
Gerry looked over, puzzled. “Caden, someone's trying to reach you. Aren't you going to answer?"
Caden remained motionless. "Don't bother with it. That phone is cursed."
“Excuse me?"
How could a phone be cursed?
As Alicia continued to flood him with angry emojis, she realized how immature she was acting and switched off her screen.
Feeling frustrated, she gave Caden another kick under the table, this time with more force.
It was so loud that the two people beside them heard it.
Even so, neither of them uttered a word.
Caden opened his eyes and glanced at her. “What's your problem now? Another sudden twitch in your leg?"
Alicia responded coldly, "Yes. It seems my leg acts up whenever I'm near obnoxious people."
Without saying anything, Caden stood up and walked away from the table.
A few moments later, her phone buzzed with a new message.
"Meet me outside," Caden told her in the text.
Alicia bit down on her straw, clenching her teeth in annoyance.
She stubbornly refused to respond, debating whether she should go.
Seconds later, another message appeared. "You have two minutes. This is your last chance."
She stared at the screen, momentarily speechless.
