However, the atmosphere was constantly disrupted by the endlessly ringing phone, with its jarring default ringtone.
Annoyed by the noise, Scarlett Xavier said, "I'll take this call."
She slipped out of his embrace, took her phone out of her bag, and saw it was a call from Vivian Bell.
Vivian usually left messages for her, but calling repeatedly like this must mean something's up.
...
Scarlett had planned to get a good night's sleep at the Griffin Family's tonight, but Vivian's call ruined that.
When she returned to the store, she saw Vivian standing at the door, wearing pajamas with a coat thrown over.
Seeing her like this, Scarlett felt a bit strange, "Why did you come all this way?"
Vivian, looking distressed, said, "I had a fight with my mom, got so upset I just left. I originally planned to sleep at the store but forgot the keys. I thought you'd be here."
