Whatever motives Jeff could think of would remain nothing more than speculation.
"We won't be sure unless we confront them directly," He's said, getting Jess's attention.
Right then—Ring~!—his smartphone rang, and the familiar ringtone instantly made Jeff know who the caller was even before picking it up and checking the screen.
After all, he had set a similar ringtone for Jess, Nubia, and Veena.
"It's Nubia-senpai," Jeff said, showing the screen of his smartphone to Jess, as well as to Mira and Mina, who had finally managed to escape Jess's iron grip on their faces.
"Vee is probably with her," he added, assuming that they were either at Capital City University or at Nubia's apartment.
—Ring!~Ring!—
Aside from knowing who was on the other end of the call, Jeff could also guess what it was about, and it wasn't something he could ignore any longer.
Jeff put down his almost-finished meal on the low table, then proceeded to answer the video call.
