Employer contacted- not as of yet

Is this normal not to contact employer within 1 week?
Officer asked to provide employer mobile number during interview. I said i dont want to give personal number without permission but if she calls office and the director is unavailable or not there i could then provide mobile number as its an official call to the office. Was this the right decision not to give mobile number?

Solicitor said usually on priority application they call the next day or at least in the following week. It is now Saturday and no call yet. Im always in the office and no call from private number or any call from home office came through.

If someone can shed some light as im worried.

Im new so apologies if not posted on the right forum/section. Would appreciate a reply.

Will update on this thread if i have anything in the upcoming days/weeks
