You Were What?

Bianca's POV

"How do you know Liam?" I asked Nicole again but I got no response. The line suddenly went dead silent. "Hello? Nicole? Are you there? Hello? Can you hear me?"

"Hello? Bianca? Can you hear me?" Nicole said over the phone.

"Yes, I can. I was asking you how you knew Liam."

"You were what?" Nicole chirped. "I'm sorry, I can't hear you."

"But I can hear you just fine. I said..."

"Hello? I think the line is breaking. I really can't hear you, Bianca."

"But.."

"I'll talk to you later, you hear me? Alright bye." With that, Nicole hung up.

What the hell was she talking about? I could hear her just fine. Suddenly, when I asked her an important question, the network went haywire from her side? Please! How stupid or gullible did Nicole think I was? I knew for a fact that she was only putting on an act. There was no network malfunction and the line was perfectly fine.

Nicole was definitely hiding something. And she did a good job sidestepping my question and blaming the line for it. S
