“Clearly.”
He sighs as Adrien answers the call.
“Ah, happy to hear from you both, too,” he jokes.
“Shut up,” Theo tells him, and I laugh.
“What’s up?” Adrien asks.
“Theo is working too much. This is an intervention,” I tell him.
“Oh, good. I wish I had more heads up. I would have prepared something, but I guess I can just wing it,” Adrien says.
“You two are hilarious,” Theo spits out, and I chuckle.
“What are we really doing here?” Theo asks, and my good mood plummets when I remember the email from Pia.
“Pia resigned.”
“What?” Adrien asks in shock.
“What did you do?” Theo asks me.
“Nothing! Well, not that I can remember. It just happened, and she doesn’t say much in the email. Just that she’s resigning, effective immediately.”
“So, what did you do?” Theo asks again.
“Nothing!” I insist. “Everything was good between us yesterday. We’ve been going strong since our first date. Everything was going great… or I thought it was anyway.”
“Could it be something in her personal life?” Adrien asks.
“Or maybe someone at work said something to her?” Theo adds.
“I don’t think so, but honestly, I have no clue.”
“You need to ask her then,” Theo says.
“I’ve tried that. She’s not answering my calls.”
“So go to her place,” he says.
“Should I give her time? Wait until tomorrow?” I ask them.
“Do you want to wait?” Adrien asks.
“No, not at all. I want her.”
“Then go get her. Ask her what’s going on and get to the bottom of things,” Adrien encourages me.
“He’s right,” Theo adds. “You can’t plead your case when you don’t even know what the charges are.”
“Okay. Thanks, guys,” I say sincerely.
“Of course. Let us know how it goes,” Adrien says.
“I will. Get some rest, Theo,” I say, and he sighs.
“Good luck,” he tells me before we all hang up.
