[You know how a promise to get back to someone is harder to fulfill the more time goes by? That's what Frieda's been experiencing. After she initially sought Max out for help, she first needed several more weeks to neatly compile all the information, gather any missing details, brainstorm potential roadblocks and solutions and, most importantly, practise her pitch!
But in the end, it was to no avail. Her fellow Eldians shot her suggestion down unanimously, and she doesn't think any of them even reached out to Max to form a first-hand opinion of him after her explanation of their plan resulted in open distrust. She needed another few weeks to both emotionally recover from the intense reaction and reorient herself - perhaps an excessive amount of time, but it was very hard for her to come to terms with, above all else, the apparent lack of importance the others seemed to place in finding a way of saving their people.
Now, she finally feels ready to call his number again, and in the back of her mind she wonders if he already knows how it went. After all, one doesn't need to be omniscient or otherwise superpowered to conclude that no news, in this case, meant no progress. When he picks up, her smiles makes it into her voice regardless.]
