I knew that Laura was actually the one who made the call.
If she left first before Adam, I would not end up suspecting them.
I nodded nonchalantly.
Adam hurried over to hug me. “Babe, you’re the best. I’ll come visit you in a few days, okay?”
“Sure.”
While Adam apologized, I saw excitement in his eyes.
At the moment he left, I even heard Laura’s voice through his phone.
Once they left, I ate and drank to my fill before I went to a music store and bought a gramophone that looked exactly the same as the one Laura gave me.
When I got home, William asked me puzzledly, “Why did you buy two gramophones, Anya?”
I just smiled and said nothing. Instead, I grabbed two records of cliche classics and played them.
Songs that were so common that everyone was sick of them started playing.
I started clapping to the rhythm, and even my footsteps became much lighter.
But William suffered from it since he was a professor in the department of music. He covered his ears.
Just when I finished playing an entire recording, Laura called. She sounded lazy and breathless. I could immediately tell what happened to her.
These two sure were eager.
“Anya, how’s the gramophone? Have you tried it? Is it good?”
“It sure is. William said it’s good too.”
