Chapter 249
Moira rolled her eyes and grabbed her purse. "Let's go back to sleep!"
She surrendered!
However, as they stepped out of the music bar, they were suddenly surrounded.
"Ms. Wells, did you delete my WhatsApp?"
Juliet didn't back down. "Yeah, so what? It's just a game, not like we're really setting up blind dates. Can't I delete you if I'm not interested?"
The guy, to give him credit, didn't get angry at Juliet's remark. He just awkwardly scratched his nose. "Is it because I asked for your friend's WhatsApp to help a friend?" Juliet snorted. "You know that. Why bother asking?"
"It's a misunderstanding. Maybe your friend knows my friend too."
As he spoke, he looked ahead.
Moira and Juliet instinctively looked in the same direction, spotting a tall guy with a duckbill cap and a black mask walking toward them.
"Hello, Ms. Jimenez."
'Huh, that voice sounds familiar,' she wondered.
Moira blinked, and the next moment, she saw a familiar face in front of her.
"Felix?"
Felix smirked. "I just pulled a prank on your friend. Don't mind it."
They didn't, of course.
Juliet, being Felix's number one fan, would never mind it.
Moira glanced over at Juliet, unsurprisingly finding her too excited to even speak.
Moira arched an eyebrow. "So, it was just a misunderstanding."
Felix nodded. "Did you come here by yourselves? How are you getting back later? Taking a cab?"
"Yeah," Moira replied, lightly nudging Juliet and whispering, "Stay calm."
Juliet tried to stay calm, but her legs weren't cooperating.
Felix glanced at the time on his phone. "It's Valentine's Day today, probably hard to catch a cab."
"Yeah, that's why we're leaving early."
"We can give you a ride. We drove here."
Before Moira could respond, Juliet jumped in eagerly. "Sure!"
Juliet regretted her words
immediately and tried to salvage the situation. "It's really tough to get a cab today. If it's convenient for you guys..."
Felix smirked. "Of course."
He glanced at Daniel Bennett beside him. "Right?"
Daniel's lips twitched. "Yes."
'Since you said it, how could I refuse?' Daniel thought helplessly.
"Let's go then. Our car's outside."
He pulled up his mask and put it back on.
Moira barely had time to refuse. "Alright then."
It was indeed tough to catch a cab tonight.
Exiting the music bar, they climbed into Felix's SUV.
Daniel was quite tactful. "Ms. Wells, I recall you live around Crystalshire Village."
Juliet, who was about to settle into the backseat, had to take the front seat instead. "Yes, Mr. Bennett, you have a good memory." "It's okay."
Moira sat in the backseat with Felix beside her.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
There was some distance between them, but she still felt awkward.
She took out her phone, intending
text Juliet, but Felix, who had removed his mask, spoke
Jimenez, is your leg fully
Moira glanced at her right calf. "The doctor said it's healed."
"Are you planning to participate in this year's international competition, Ms. Jimenez?"
Moira hesitated, surprised that Felix even knew about it. "I haven't decided yet."
"No rush, it doesn't start until December after all."
"Yeah." She nodded and glanced down at her phone.
'It is almost ten o'clock. Why hasn't Mr. Covington sent me a message? It's Valentine's Day. He should at least send me a text to wish me a happy Valentine's Day, right? she wondered.
