Chapter 487

Samson finally called during lunch break. "Did you get the cake this morning?" "Yeah, I did. Thanks!" Linda said. The background noise on his end stood out—he was probably in the cafeteria. "Make sure you eat lunch." "Aren't you curious about why I left so early today?" After a brief pause, Samson replied, "First of all, I'm not one to probe. Secondly, I think if you want me to know something, you'll tell me without needing me to ask. Lastly, I don't need to know all your secrets—even if we're friends." He always acted as Linda's backbone, as if he would always be there to protect her no matter what happened. "Thank you, but I really can't tell you about today's events just yet." She wasn't sure about the specifics, so she thought it was better to have fewer people know about it. "Alright. Remember not to skip lunch." … Linda had been immersed in work for the rest of the afternoon. She had turned off her phone, so Luke couldn't reach her despite calling several times.
