Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 122

*****Jace's POV*****

The next morning, the first thing I did was pick up my phone to call Rika and the others, informing them of our arrival.

Afterwards, I got ready to meet this anonymous person as agreed.

Fagel was also ready by the time I walked out of my room.

"Good morning, Your Highness." He greeted me and I gave a nod in response.

"You ready?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yes."

"Let's go."

We both walked to the elevator and out of the hotel. The car was already awaiting us by the time we walked out, so we got in and left the hotel.

"He said three blocks away, right?" Fagel asked and I nodded.

"Driver, take us to the cafe three blocks away." He instructed and the driver hummed in response.

We stayed silent all through the ride there. The driver was driving smoothly through the busy streets.

I turned slightly in Fagel's direction and I couldn't help but notice his nervous energy beside me. His leg bounced up and down, and his hands fidgeted with the hem of his shirt.

I chuckled and nudged him with my elbow. "Relax, Fagel," I teased, a smirk playing on my lips. "This person might not be a bad person, we don't even know this person."

Fagel shot me a playful glare. "Your Highness," he retorted with a laugh, "That's exactly why I'm nervous. We're walking into the unknown here."

I rolled my eyes in mock exasperation and turned my attention to my phone, pretending to be absorbed in something important. But in reality, my mind was racing with the possibilities of what awaited us at the cafe.

Despite Fagel's nerves, I couldn't deny the thrill of anticipation building inside me. Sure, there was a hint of danger lingering in the air, but that only added to the excitement of the situation.

As the car pulled up outside the cafe, I shot Fagel a grin. "Ready to face the unknown?" I quipped, opening the door and stepping out onto the sidewalk.

Fagel laughed and followed suit, his nerves seemingly forgotten for the moment.

We stepped into the cafe together and looked around, in search of the figure or person that we called yesterday.

Just then, my eyes caught someone at the corner who kept staring at us, he suddenly raised a finger and gestured for us to come closer.

"Over there." I tapped Fagel's shoulders and we both walked to where this anonymous person sat.

He stood up once we arrived before him and looked into my eyes. He had the lower part of his face covered and only his black eyes were visible before us.

"Welcome, but we aren't about to stay here and discuss, please follow me." He said and walked out of the cafe.

I glanced at Fagel and he dragged in ragged breaths.

I followed suit first and Fagel joined behind us.

We followed the masked person outside and crossed the road to the other side. He walked into the building there and we still followed patiently behind him.

We entered the elevator and went straight to the top floor. Once we arrived before a door, he paused it open and gestured for us to come inside.
