A cryptic phone call
One morning, Emily was surprised by a cryptic phone call that clearly unsettled her. Mark, who was sitting at the kitchen table, noticed her apprehensive expression as she glanced at him before answering. She didn’t say much, but her restless eyes and tense voice caught his attention. Terms like “urgent” and “discretion” were left hanging in the air, suggesting that this was a serious matter. Mark’s curiosity was aroused and he was aware that he needed to find out what was making her so anxious.
Telephone tapping
Mark, feigning concern, listened attentively, but could only make out fragmented words like “urgent” and “discretion”. Emily’s words were whispered, almost like a whisper. She nodded affirmatively a few times, her eyes wandering around the room, clearly uneasy. As Mark tried to make sense of the call, his heart raced. Emily ended the conversation abruptly, her face pale. Without saying anything to Mark, she hurried out of the house, intensifying his suspicions.
