Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 352

After I purchased a new phone and SIM card, I hailed a cab. Right after I gave the driver my parents‘ address, I switched on my new phone. Thankfully, the worker transferred all of my old contacts and pictures onto my new phone.

As soon as my phone turned on, I noticed I had fifteen missed calls from Alexander. When I called him back, he answered on the second ring.

“Why haven’t you been answering your phone?” he demanded. “I’ve been worried sick!”

That’s a reasonable excuse.” He let out a deep breath that it sounded like he had been holding all night. “I was so worried that something bad happened to you when you were out sightseeing with your parents. I almost went to your apartment hundreds of times last night, but I didn’t want to intrude on your time with your parents.”
