Chapter 6 - Ethan Screams Into a Dead Phone
Trembling with sudden rage, Ethan dialed the main corporate line for Sterling Crest Group’s executive human resources department.
The phone rang three times before an automated voice coldly informed him that his extension no longer existed.
“What do you mean extension zero-four-nine is invalid? This is Ethan Vance!” he shouted into the speaker.
The line disconnected abruptly with a harsh, synthetic busy signal that echoed loudly in the morning air.
He immediately dialed Daniel’s direct mobile number, pacing frantically across the manicured front lawn.
The call went straight to voicemail without a single ring, cutting off his desperate words before he could even speak.
“Pick up the phone, Daniel! This is an outrage!” Ethan screamed at his empty mobile screen.

“Ethan! What is all that yelling about out there? Chloe wants to go shopping for cribs!” Margaret called out loudly.
