Ivo chuckled. “That’s a new one. Look, I have one more appointment and I’ll be home, baby.”
“Good. You have some more mood boards to okay.” Sofia laughed, but Ivo couldn’t help notice there was something else, an edge to her voice.
“You okay?”
“Absolutely fine. I’ll see you later.”
Ivo hung up, something shifting inside him, an unease building. He put his phone away and smiled at his colleague. “Sorry, what were we saying?”
