Chapter 63: A Day at the Mall
The faint buzz of Adam’s phone broke the monotony of his quiet room.
He leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing at the name flashing on the screen—Sakura Takura.
"Hello?" Adam answered, keeping his tone casual.
"Hey, Adam," Sakura’s voice came through, cheerful yet slightly hesitant. "Are you free right now?"
Adam raised an eyebrow, surprised. He rarely got calls like this, especially from someone like her. "Uh, yeah, I’m free. Why?"
"Great! Can you come with me to the mall?" Sakura’s request caught him completely off guard.
"The mall? Right now?" Adam’s voice reflected his confusion.
"Yes, right now," she replied firmly. Then, softening her tone, she added, "If you’re busy, it’s okay..."
Adam hesitated for a moment before sighing. "Alright, give me 15-20 minutes to get ready."
"Perfect," Sakura said, her excitement clear. "Once you’re ready, call me back. I’ll send you the location."
Adam hung up, staring at his phone for a moment, still processing the sudden invitation. Shaking his head, he muttered, "This is going to be interesting."
