Ashton noticed Daniel still hadn't hung up. Figuring he wanted to listen to their conversation, Ashton secretly flipped his phone back so Daniel could hear everything clearly.
"Pfft!" Daniel let out a loud laugh over the phone.
"Who's that? Who's laughing at me?" Even though Chantelle was drunk, her ears were still sharp.
Thea quickly tried to pull her back, and Ashton used the moment to tuck his phone away.
Before Ashton could speak to Daniel, he suddenly gasped for air. Chantelle had grabbed his collar and yanked him back. As he struggled to breathe, she snatched his phone from his hand.
"Was that you laughing at me?" she shouted into the phone. "Who are you? Come and fight me if you dare!"
Daniel could instantly picture Chantelle's face. Her cheeks would turn a little pink when she got mad. The thought made him smile, and his voice softened, comforting, and smooth.
"Okay, where are we fighting?"
