Carlos's gaze fixed on that familiar number, hesitating slightly.
The surrounding air seemed to have frozen, and time felt slow at this moment.
After a brief pause, he still pressed the answer button.
In an instant, a faint sobbing sound came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother Carter..." Rainny White's voice carried a sobbing tone, filled with endless grievances.
Carlos instinctively turned his head slightly, glancing at Emily Parker sitting beside him. For some reason, a nameless sense of guilt surged in his heart.
Emily was quietly looking out the window, the street scenes passing by like a carousel. She seemed to have not heard the phone call at all, her expression calm as water.
"What's wrong?"
Carlos asked, his voice unconsciously softening.
He hadn't been in contact with Rainny White for quite some time.
During this period, he was overwhelmed with work, and the messages Rainny sent were only replied to hastily.
"I got fired."
