Summary
“It’s Philip. He wants to speak to you.”
What. The fuck.
“Me? Philip- why?” Alex is stuttering over his words, completely gobsmacked. This was about the last thing he expected Bea to say.
Bea is staring blankly at him. He can’t read her face. What the hell is going on?
Alex gingerly takes the phone, and then Bea surprises him again by quickly leaving the room and closing the door behind her.
He stands there. He needs a second to wrap his mind around this. He’s never spoken to Philip on the phone before. He’s barely even spoken to Philip alone before. What could this possibly be about?
Alex can only think of bad answers. So he brings the phone to his ear with his guard as far up as it will go.
“Hello, Philip.”
“Alex. Happy Christmas.”
“It’s…not Christmas yet, Philip. But thanks.”
There’s a lonnnnnng silence that probably only lasts about 5 seconds. Longest 5 seconds ever.
“So what can I do for you, Philip?”
——
Or; Alex wants his proposal to Henry to go perfectly. But will a conversation with Philip get in the way?
