Echoes of Unrequited Love (Xaviera and Hogan) novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 

Man, this is tough, Wallis looked totally stumped. The quests at the art show are all loaded or highflying, and what they care about the most is their privacy. The security in the afternoon is gonna be tight as a drum, and my usual partycrashing tricks might just not cut it this time.” 

I’d never seen Wallis at a loss like this before. Whenever we wanted to crash a party in the past. she always had the inside scoop from the quest list to the gourmet grub in the kitchenbut today seemed like a real thorn in the side

I tried to cheer her up, How about this, you focus on your stuff for now, and I’ll head over there early to stake out the place. If I spot someone I know, I’ll figure out a way to get in.” 

The publicity and distribution plan had Wallis tearing her hair out. She nodded, Stay in touch.” 

So off I went, driving solo to the Art Gallery. But since I didn’t know the way that well, plus the gallery was remote. I ended up driving in circles nearby without finding the exact spot

Scouting ahead was always Wallis gig. With no other choice. I had to call her for help

Don’t sweat it: those streets are a real rat maze.Wallis comforted me. But there’s another trick you can try.” 

Wallis told me to park on the side and watch the passing cars, betting that if I saw three or more lowkey luxury cars heading in the same direction, they were probably bound for the gallery

Made sense to me, but right after I hung up. I suddenly lurched forward, smashing uncontrollably into the steering wheel

Ouch. I’d rearended someone. A posh navy Porsche, no less

As I grimaced from the sharp pain in my wrist and looked in the rearview mirror, I couldn’t help feeling a bit irked

A mess in the middle of a rush just what I hate most. I got out of the car feeling down in the dumps, but when I looked up, I saw that familiar gray hair

It was Timothy. He still had those fiery red headphones around his neck, wearing a vintage biker jacket with matching casual jeans the rebel vibe was strong but full of energy

After a brief eye contact, he looked at me with a smirk and said, Xaviera, isn’t this fate that brings us together?” 

I couldn’t help but laugh. Talk about coincidence.” 

No sooner had I finished speaking than a fresh wave of pain shot through my wrist, making me wince

Did you hurt?Timothy was quick on the uptake. He came over to me in few strides, concerned, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

It’s nothing.I thought about the Freeman thing and said. If it’s not too much trouble, could you check my car for me?” 

Timothy looked flabbergasted, You can’t be serious about the car being more important than you!” 

It’s not that.I struggled to explain. I’ve got something really urgent coming up.” 

Urgent or not, you need to get to the hospital. Timothy insisted, Leave the car to the insurance company.”
