The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 138

“Not today.”

Claire glanced at Dane. He was wearing the same kind of mask she always carried around, blending in perfectly.

Greenie followed her gaze and spotted Dane.

“Whoa, Claire, where did you pick up such a hottie? Is he your boyfriend?” Greenie’s eyes lit up with curiosity.

Dane, looking totally out of his element, frowned. He clearly didn’t get why Claire had brought him to an internet café.

“That’s right. He’s good-looking, isn’t he?” Claire answered on purpose, catching Dane’s annoyed look.

“Seriously, he’s a knockout,” Greenie agreed.

Claire grinned. “You’ve got great taste. Open up the booth in the back for me.”

“No problem!” Greenie knew exactly which one she wanted. It was her usual private room, more like a mini apartment than a booth, soundproofed and way more comfortable than the main area.

The owner had told Greenie Claire was on a yearly plan, so she never had to worry about paying for internet time.

She grabbed the access card. Noticing Dane still frowning, she explained, “There’s a back door here. If you go out, you’ll end up at the market. Makes it easy to make a quick exit if you need one.”

“As for the place itself, just bear with it for now.”

Once they were inside Claire’s private booth, Dane realized it really was a world apart from the noisy café outside. Even the sofa felt like it belonged in a lounge, not a gaming den.

“Just relax for a bit,” Claire said, turning on the computer.

Dane didn’t look impressed. “So you skip class to come here and play games?”

Otherwise, why wouldn’t they have headed straight to the university?

“I’m not here for the games.” Claire didn’t bother to explain further. Her fingers flew over the keyboard as she hacked into the city’s surveillance system, pulling up footage from earlier. She quickly edited out any trace of herself and Dane.
