Feeling reassured by Ned's promise, Rosa's anxiety began to dissipate. The two of them admired the scenery in the gazebo.
But after just a few minutes, Ned seemed a bit tired. He suggested, "Let's head back."
"Oh... Okay." Rosa felt somewhat reluctant to leave.
The hot spring resort was so pleasant. Earlier, she had soaked in the hot springs alone while Ned rested in the room.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Now, she longed to enjoy the serene atmosphere of the evening, but Ned was eager to leave. There always seemed to be an unspoken distance between them.
This distance made her feel anxious. Even after receiving a promise, she still felt uneasy.
The next morning, the employees of the Sullance Group awoke and continued to have fun at the hot spring resort. By noon, they boarded the bus to leave.
Skylar was also on the bus. On the way back, she spotted Ned's car passing by.
The car moved quickly, and she caught a glimpse of Ned in the back seat. He seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, likely still troubled by pain. They shared the same headache...
"What are you thinking about so deeply? Skye, your phone has been ringing." Janine lightly nudged Skylar.
Skylar snapped back to reality and quickly answered the phone. "Hello?"
She answered without noticing who was on the other end.
Noticing Skylar's distracted demeanor, Janine grew concerned. After Skylar returned from her walk the night before, she appeared fine.
However, Janine knew Skylar well and sensed something was off with her emotions.
After Skylar finished speaking, a mechanical voice came through her phone. "Hello, I'm Leo..."
It was yet another telemarketing call.
In this day and age, marketing calls were relentless, with personal information being almost transparent. It felt like every detail of one's contact information was up for sale.
As a result, Skylar had become overwhelmed by the increasing number of harassment calls. With a frown, she ended the call. 14444 32
Still feeling uneasy, she advised Janine, “Mom, there are a lot of scam calls lately. And don't trust any text messages with links.” "Okay. Steven and Charles have warned me about it too, and I've taken note. Was that just now a spam call?" Janine replied with a smile.
Nowadays, society changed so fast that many things were different from before. Scammers had become more cunning. Some of her friends had even fallen victim to scams.
Skylar nodded in agreement.
Janine continued, "Do you remember Mr. Carlson? He was scammed out of over 300 thousand dollars recently. He lost everything and even had to sell his house in Liberty County.
"These scammers have no morals. They steal the hard-earned savings of elderly people without a second thought. Don't they fear retribution?" “How can scammers have morals?" Skylar retorted.
Some people worked their entire lives, but their kindness made them too trusting. As a result, they ended up getting scammed and losing everything. This kind of situation happened everywhere.
