Chapter 125
The next morning. Lucian woke up with headache. He sat up, pressing his hand against his stomach. The pain eased a bit, but some discomfort lingered
He looked around recognizing his home in Magnolia Gandens.
He remembered getting sloshed last night, but beyond that, everything was a blur
Just then, his Alaskan Malamute bounded over, barking twice.
“Who brought me home last night? Lucian asked
Lucky, being the good boy he was, sat by the bed, chewing his tail.
“Have you seen thai person before?” Lucian got up, checking out his clothes. He was still in his white shirt and black suit pants from last night, which were now wrinkled.
Lucky barked once, looking up at him.
Lucian chuckled, getting up to head to the bathroom. After a shower, he wrapped himself in a towel, his hair still dripping wet.
He popped a couple of stomach pills, and dialed Shawn on his phone, asking “Did you bring me home last night?”
The answer from the other end was a no.
A puzzled look crossed Lucian’s face.
Lucky was usually a temperamental and big dog, paying no mind to anyone but a few familiar faces. If any strangers showed up at Magnolia Gardens, Lucky would chase
them off in a heartbeat
Suddenly, Lucian noticed Lucky chewing on something.
“What are you eating” Lucian walked over to ask.
He pulled an earring out of Lucky’s mouth.
It was a hexagram earring
Under the sunlight, the earring sparkled
Lucian remembered getting hammered at the Red Jack Club last night and then drawing a blank.
Whose earring was this?
A delicate and beautiful face flashed across Lucian’s mind.
Allison had lost an earring that Dr. Dylan gave her and had been out of sorts all morning
If the earring really fell at Magnolia Gardens, how was she supposed to find it?
As she pondered, Ashley, noticing her distracted state, asked, “What’s up? You’ve been zoned out all morning”
“I lost an earring”
“Then just buy a new pair”
Allison’s eyes lit up. She could just buy a new pair.
She quickly searched for the brand of the earring. Although it wasn’t a high–end brand, there was a counter at Stellar Emporium.
She rushed to the Stellar Emporium.
“Hi, do you still have this earring in stock?”
“The hexagram earrings are sold out.”
“Are you going to restock them?”
