“Mr. Ellison?” Everyone was surprised to hear the name.

Sean regained his composure and sat back down at the table. “I don’t know Mr. Ellison’s phone number. It was he who called me.”
“What did Mr. Ellison say?” Mr. Riddle Sr. asked in a deep voice.
Sean looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. respectfully. “He asked Nicole to report to the high school of Royal Creek Institute tomorrow and said that he was glad to have Nicole coming to Royal Creek Institute.”
