Luna was amused by Theo's chattering voice.
She sighed and glanced once again at the bathroom, then replied in a whisper, "I saw Rachel declining your call just now."
She rubbed her brow in exasperation. "I honestly don't think she'll be willing to come with me to the airport to pick you up."
Theo let out a sigh when he heard this. "That's precisely why I called you; I was hoping you could convince her to come see me…"
A hint of disappointment crept into Theo's voice. "After all, I had flown here just to see her, and I want to let her know how much I care about her—much more than that fiance of hers does, anyway."
Luna did not know what to answer to this.
She was close to Caleb. Thus, she knew that Rachel and Caleb's engagement was just a hoax—the two of them were nothing more than friends.
Caleb needed this engagement to conceal the truth about his sexual orientation, whereas Rachel just wanted an excuse to stop Theo from chasing her so she could focus on her career.
Not only that, but the reason Rachel had even 'gotten together' with Caleb in the first place was due to her disappointment in Theo.
Whenever she recalled the crazy things Theo had done for Roanne, Luna could not help thinking that if she were in Rachel's shoes, she would not choose to forgive him so easily, either.
However, since both Theo and Rachel were her friends, she was in no place to comment on their relationship.
"Alright. I'll ask Rachel if she's willing to come with me to pick you up. If she's unwilling, I'll have to send Joshua and Thomas to do so."
Theo was silent for a long time before finally sighing. He had no choice but to relent. "Alright. I guess that's fine."
