"Dmitrij, it is good to hear you again." A little smile curled on Sheva's face when he finally figured out the person on the other side of the call.
Yeah, it was Dmitrij Kollar, his good friend, who was also the second-best chess player from Germany besides Vincent Keymer. To have the man contacting him like this, Sheva didn't even need to second-guess, knowing full well that it would be related to the game tomorrow.
They were always contacting each other with social media, though, so to receive a direct call like this definitely startled Sheva for a moment.
The answer he got, though, was an exasperated snort.
"What do you mean, it is good to hear me? You should be ecstatic, you know?! What the hell, Brother! You just asked me so many favors for teaching your kids, and after that, you disappeared instantly without saying anything? I am not a little girl that you can ghost any time you want, okay?!"
