Jael scowled at the word ‘VN’ and texted back. “Do you mean my Verification Number?” FYI, it was the first thought that came to her mind, since Charles was a bank official and friend of hers.
Charles laughed and replied. “No Jael, I meant a Voice Note. You are really disconnected from the social media world.”
