Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

“Alright, I’ll check with the client,” said Liliana, dialing the number.
Evan nodded, feeling confident and pleased.
As a leading photographer in the studio, he stood as the natural alternative if Sabrina couldn’t fulfill her duties.
Bella had been looking forward to today’s photo shoot. She arrived at the studio promptly at 8 a.m., ready to select her outfits.
She was waiting to have her makeup done when Liliana called her.
“Hello, Miss Olson. It’s Liliana. Unfortunately, the photographer you selected cannot attend your picture session today due to an
automobile accident. However, I can offer you a replacement. He is a leading photographer in the studio. How does that sound to
you?”
Liliana explained the situation to Bella.
Bella’s mind fixated on the words “automobile accident.” Despite Liliana’s continued explanation, Bella didn’t fully register the
information. “So, does that suit you?” Liliana asked again.
“Wait a minute. You say ‘automobile accident’, right? Is she seriously injured?” Bella asked in shock.
“It’s not serious. However, she’s hurt her ankle and is having trouble walking,” Liliana answered.
“Alright, then we can reschedule the shoot for another time,” Bella replied, feeling a bit relieved.
Liliana hesitated before offering an alternative, “It will take at least a week for Sabrina to recover. The photographer I mentioned
is top-notch, highly skilled, and praised. You’ll be satisfied. Want to give it a try?”

“Sabrina’s a friend of mine. I’m going to visit her,” Bella politely declined.
Liliana quickly grasped Bella’s sentiment. “Okay, we’ll meet after Sabrina recovers.”
In the office, Evan caught wind of Liliana’s conversation, his face darkening in understanding.
After Liliana hung up, Evan sought clarification. “Bel, Err, the client didn’t agree to it?”
Liliana nodded. “She’s Sabrina’s friend. She’ll make an appointment after Sabrina recovers. You can return to your workstation.”
Evan left Liliana’s office with a long face, realizing why Bella chose Sabrina.
It turned out that Sabrina was acquainted with Bella before he was.
A worrisome thought suddenly struck him. Considering Sabrina and Bella’s close friendship, would Bella utilize her resources to
help Sabrina investigate today’s incident?
While hanging up the call with Liliana, Bella prepared to dial Sabrina when her phone rang. It was Sabrina calling.
Sabrina immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Bella. I got hit by a car on my way to the studio. I sprained my ankle, and my camera
is damaged. We’ll have to reschedule the shoot for another time.”
“I was shocked when Liliana told me about your accident. Don’t worry about the shooting. We can do it anytime. The important
thing is that you’re okay. Are you at the hospital or home? I’ll come visit you,” Bella remarked, a tint of concern in her tone.
“I’m mot home yet. You can let yourself in. The key is in the flowerpot by the door. I’m taking the camera for repairs, and I’ll be
back soon,” Sabrina said in a gentle tone.
