Huo Yulin felt like he was floating as he stepped out of the conference room.
The job unexpectedly fell into his lap.
Huo Yulin squeezed the three tokens inside his pocket. He paused briefly, took out his phone, and called Huo Yao.
After the call got through, it rang briefly and got cut off quickly.
Huo Yulin was stunned. He thought his little sister had unintentionally rejected the call, so he tried again.
In the end, it was the same and she rejected the call immediately. The third time he tried, all he got was a cold mechanical automated message saying the phone was out of the service area.
Huo Yulin went quiet.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
"Miss Huo, are you busy?" asked Rocco after seeing Huo Yao use the phone.
His face no longer looked pale and sickly. His face looked slightly more pink and healthier.
Huo Yao veered her eyes, raised her head, and smiled. "Nope."
