Chapter 17 - Mysterious caller

When I left Jason's house, I was exhausted. All I wanted was to go home, take a long, relaxing bath, and sleep off the events of the day. As soon as I stepped into my cozy apartment, I headed straight for the bathroom. The warm water cascading down my body washed away the stress and tension that had built up throughout the day.

After my bath, I slipped into my favorite pajamas and crawled into bed. The softness of the sheets enveloped me, and I quickly drifted off into a deep slumber. Little did I know that my peaceful sleep would soon be interrupted.

In the midst of my dreams, I was abruptly awakened by the sound of my phone ringing. Groggily, I reached over to my nightstand and picked it up. The screen displayed an unfamiliar number, causing me to furrow my brows in confusion.

Curiosity got the better of me, and I answered the call. A voice on the other end asked to speak with Luna. Still half-asleep, I mumbled a response, agreeing to meet the person the next day. It didn't occur to me to question who they were or why they wanted to see me. My sleep-addled mind simply agreed without much thought.

With that, I hung up the phone and drifted back to sleep.

When I woke up that morning, my mind was still foggy from a restless night's sleep. As I reached for my phone on the bedside table, I noticed a missed call from an unknown number. Curiosity piqued, I dialed the number back, hoping to find out who had called me.

As I mumbled through the phone, a message suddenly popped up on the screen. It displayed an address and a time to meet. Intrigued and slightly apprehensive, I decided to go and see what this mysterious call was all about. After all, it was a Saturday, and I had nothing better to do.

When I arrived at the given address, I found myself standing in front of a quaint little restaurant. Its exterior was adorned with hanging flower baskets, giving it a cozy and inviting feel. Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The interior of the restaurant was dimly lit, creating an atmosphere of secrecy and intrigue. As I scanned the room, my eyes fell upon a woman dressed entirely in black. Her face was partially concealed by a scarf, adding to the air of mystery that surrounded her.

Approaching cautiously, I introduced myself to the woman. Her voice was soft and melodic, as if she had a secret to share. We sat down at a small table near the window, the sunlight casting a warm glow on our surroundings.

The woman began to speak, her words carefully chosen and filled with a sense of urgency. She asked me about Brian.I was so shocked and surprised.But it wasn't a surprise to me since Brian was a popular playboy,this woman me be among those he has played in the past.

As the conversation continued, I couldn't help but feel a strange connection to this mysterious woman. It was as if we were bound by fate, brought together by some unknown force. Her eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and caution. I couldn't wait to uncover the secrets that lay ahead. Little did I know that this encounter would change my life.
