Chapter 26

At 10 PM

After Nicholas and his friends came out of the city club in a drunkard state, Nicholas suddenly received a call on his phone. As he took out his phone from his pocket, he saw 'Mom' flashing on the screen.

He went to the side and picked up the phone and spoke," Yes Mom?" Even though he was not as drunk as his friends, his voice slurred a little and on the other side, George frowned after he heard Nicholas's voice from the speaker.

After waiting for a long time, he had asked Shelley to call Nicholas to know when he would be arriving home. Shelley shuddered as she noticed how displeased George looked, she swallowed her saliva and asked Nicholas trying her best to not stutter," It's so late. Why are you not home yet?"

Nicholas knew it must be his father who had urged Shelley to make the phone call because her mother didn't like to intervene with others unnecessarily." After I was done with my work, Alex and I decided to celebrate our business collaboration with our other friends.
