After being firmly rejected by Luke Crowe, Lily Turner decided to give Easton Holmes a call to discuss whether they could talk over the phone or reschedule their meeting.
"Sorry! The number you dialed is currently on another call, please try again later."
When the call went through, what she heard was a beep indicating that the other party was on another call.
Lily dialed several times in a row, but each time she was met with the same busy signal. She thought Easton Holmes might be talking to someone else about something important.
However, the reality was entirely different. He had anticipated her call and had preemptively added her number to the blocked list.
Lily Turner had no way of knowing this, nor did she even consider the possibility.
With the call failing to connect and Luke unable to make a decision, Lily had to rearrange her plans. She asked Alice Turner to drive to her private apartment first, and planned to go back after discussing matters with Easton Holmes.
