Chapter 42: Connection
Lunara hesitated for a moment before nodding. Once Regina left, she made her way to Naomi’s room, curious about what kind of phone Eryx had gotten her.
As soon as she entered, she spotted an unopened box on the bedside table. Picking it up, she read the label. It was the latest model, far more advanced than the one she previously had. Her lips parted slightly in surprise.
She carefully unboxed it, turning the phone on. As soon as the screen lit up, a message notification appeared.
[Use this one from now on.]
Lunara stared at the phone as if it had personally offended her. Messages kept coming in, each one making her more confused.
[Awake?]
[Have breakfast. I already asked the maid to fill your closet with clothes. Wear those first. If they don’t suit your taste, we’ll go find something you like.]
She threw the phone onto the bed like it was burning her hands. "What is this? Did he hit his head somewhere?" Her fingers pressed against her cheeks as she muttered, "Don’t tell me... he fell in love with me?"
The thought made her shudder.
Lunara shook her head, brushing off the ridiculous thought. "No way. He must have some hidden agenda. Maybe he’s trying to win my heart first before whatever scheme he has in mind."
Deciding not to dwell on it, she rushed to take a bath. The warm water helped clear her thoughts, and by the time she stepped out, she felt refreshed.
