Chapter 13: "The Paxton Grey Is Sorry?"

Janet's POV

I was sleeping peacefully when my phone buzzed and disturbed me. I slowly opened my eyes and groaned, the ring of it annoying me. I turned the lamp on and grabbed it from my lamp table, blinking multiple times to adjust to the light. The call was from an unknown number. I looked at the time on my wall-clock and it flashed at quarter to 3 in the morning. I wonder who would call me at this hour? I cleared my throat and finally picked it up, bringing it to my ear, "Hello?"

"Ms. Reyes?" My heart shuddered and I sat up. It was Paxton's voice. Heavy but sexy. But why has he called me though? "It's Paxton here!" I stayed mute, a slight frown between my brows. I couldn't get it. I mean, why has he called me at this hour, and why the fuck does he sounds polite? "You there, Ms. Reyes?"

I squinted my eyes suspiciously and clenched my jaw, "What do you want?" My voice was rude, and why not? He fired me!

"Sleep!"

I frowned, "I'm sorry?" What the hell?
