But instinctively, she believed it wasn't as simple as a warning.
"Stealing is wrong." He weighed the phone in his hand, wanting to end the topic, "I'll have someone return the phone tomorrow. It's getting late, don't overthink it, and get some rest."
Leaving the words behind, he walked out holding the phone.
