Luna's hand that was holding her phone tightened slightly. "How did you know?"
On the other end of the phone, Theo sucked in a cold breath. "So, you really went to Sea City with Joshua?"
Luna frowned but did not answer.
"Luna, didn't we agree yesterday that I would go with you?" Theo’s voice carried a hint of disappointment. "I know you don’t want to trouble me, but I told you..."
Sucking in a deep breath, he frowned. "I'm on my way t o Sea City, tell me where's the location of the hotel you’re in, I'll go to you."
Luna glanced at Luke Jones who was sitting in the passenger seat. He shrugged, then opened the door and stepped out of the car. Luna was the only one left inside the car.
"Theo." She sucked in a deep breath. "I came here because my friend fell ill, I came to visit her, not for traveling or for a vacation. Joshua is with me only because Luke is his friend too. You really don't have to come, I might be able to go home tomorrow."
"But..." On the other end of the phone, Theo frowned. "D o you know how I found out you went there with Joshua? Alice told me. She just called and said the two of you have rekindled old flames. She asked whether I would like to work together with her...but I
rejected her. She said she's on her way to Sea City. I was worried she would make a fuss out of the fact that you and Joshua went to Sea City together..."
He paused for a moment. "I can at least help if I'm there with you.”
Luna paused. For the past few days, Alice had been laying low, she almost forgot there was still a ticking time bomb beside Joshua in the form of Alice Gibson.
