After the manager left the room, Bella finally had the courage to start the conversation with Tristan.
"You can ask anything you want, Tristan."
Tristan stared at her with a smile. "What is our..." He paused when his phone vibrated. When he saw the caller, he looked at Bella with an apologetic gaze. "I'm sorry, but I must pick up this phone first. Do you mind?"
She shook her head, "Sure, go ahead."
Tristan answered while his eyes were still on her, "Grandpa!? Why did you call?"
Suddenly, Bella became nervous upon realizing that the caller was Lewis Sinclair. She lowered her gaze and listened to their conversation in silence.
"BRAT! You know I'm back in town, but you don't welcome me?" Lewis Sinclair snapped. "Why did you cancel our dinner plans without telling me? You have to give me a good reason why you canceled coming here..." Lewis Sinclair's voice sounded so loud from the other end that Bella could hear it clearly.
