Lina hadn't had the chance to refuse before Desiree hung up.
Renee winced. "Why is she like this? Doesn't she even ask if others want to go?"
Lina smiled with a hint of helplessness. People with such personalities were usually self-centered, carefree, and straightforward, seemingly lacking a scheming mind.
Could she be wrong about Desiree all along, just like Renee suggested? However, her past experiences told her that it was always good to be cautious and have a guarded approach toward people and things.
"Cuz, are we going?" Renee asked.
Lina paused momentarily and smiled gently. "Have you finished all your work?"
"More or less."
"Then let's go and relax!" She was also curious to see what Desiree had planned.

Not long after, Lina and Renee arrived at the agreed location—a small Ilbon-style bar.
Interestingly, the owner was a local from Jangasas. The bar was situated in a quiet part of the city center, surrounded by many mimosa trees. In summer, the pink fluffy blossoms created a dreamy and magical sight.
The owner knew that many Jangasas people were working in Centrolis, so he added Jangasas dishes to the menu, allowing those far from home to taste the flavors of their hometown.
As Lina stepped inside, she couldn't help but pause, catching a whiff of the aroma of home-cooked dishes.
Desiree emerged from a private room, greeting them warmly and leading them to a room with mats to sit on.
Lina and Renee were surprised to find familiar faces in the room.
"Why are you two here?" Renee was taken aback when she saw Toph.
