It was surveillance footage of Alice trying to frame her! The camera had caught everything from an excellent angle with Alice's face in full view and even managed to record the sound.
Luna stared at her computer screen dazedly before she suddenly recalled what Theo had said earlier.
'I display knock-offs of my own artwork and place them in surveillance camera blind spots. However, these paintings have cameras embedded inside them...
"Luna, Luna!"
The next morning, Luna was woken up by Anne's continuous knocking. She rubbed her eyes and crawled out of bed. "What’s wrong?"
Last night, as soon as she finished watching the footage, Luna sent the video to Nigel. Nigel had called her in an attempt to console her, and the phone call had lasted a few hours. As a result, Luna had gone to sleep at 2am.
She was woken up at 7am.
"Someone's here for you! It's a guy called Theo. He says he’s here to have breakfast with you and drive you to work!"
Luna immediately jolted awake and leaped off the bed. "Theo?"
"Yeah," replied Anne from the other side of the door. "I think he's an artist or something."
Luna quickly washed up and groomed herself. When she finally emerged from her room, Theo, in all white, sat on the couch as he talked with John. When he caught sight of Luna, Theo smiled and stood up. "Good morning."
"Good morning," muttered Luna, somewhat embarrassed.
Her lateness did not seem to bother him, however. He glanced at his watch. "If I remember correctly, the Lynch Group’s punch-in time is 8:30 am. It's 7:20 am now, and the Lynch Group Tower is about thirty minutes away, which gives us forty minutes left to have breakfast together."
As soon as he finished, Theo stood up in a graceful motion. "Come on, let’s go."
Luna hesitated, but after a moment, she bade Anne farewell and followed him.
