Before The Meetup (1)

The shock that crossed Sofony's face could only be described as immense. He saw her laboriously taking a deep breath, her eyes telling him she expected something like this to happen yet she was still caught off-guard.

She even absentmindedly said, "I... why did she want to involve you? No... I already made your information hidden!" A second later she looked down, then began mumbling again as if she realized something, "Wait... I see... In the end, your people and companies can't move. This... I should have known...."

The girl shut her eyes. When she opened them again, she had already taken a few more deep breaths. Then she nervously and apprehensively asked, "Did she say anything else?"

Gio took in her worrying eyes. Of course, the voice message mentioned other things. But since he has no plan to tell her that, he only shook his head and replied, "No. She only wants you to come. And I can come along if I want."

"No!!!"
