Holley’s posture tensed, and she nodded earnestly, her tone desperate. “Yes, yes! There won't be a next time!”

She answered the call swiftly. “Hello, Baker...”
On the other end of the line, Baker's voice was angry. “You've causedbig trouble this time!”

rage.
He paused.

not to act impulsively again. Please calm down. Right now, | need to regain Belinda’s trust. She has grown
suspicious ofsince the incident. We must find a way to clear her doubts.”

consider this before acting recklessly? You shouldn't do anything now.”
“I will handle the matter!”
