''What? No reply? I've been searching everywhere for you, and you're just chilling here? Did it even occur to you to let me know you're heading this way?'' Jeni's anger escalated by the minute; the trip hadn't even started, yet her blood pressure soared.
Lucius frowned and turned to Lily, who was acting as if it didn't involve her, engaging in conversation with some new members at the side.
''I...'' Just as he was about to apologize, Jeni clearly wasn't letting this go.
"What's your excuse this time? Did the system just decide to start charging you for messages, and, oh, you magically ran out of card?" Her voice dripped with sarcasm.
''I forgot, alright? I'm sorry. Lily and I headed to this location the moment we saw the messages, and I didn't think of replying...'' Rubbing his head, Lucius felt a headache coming on. Unknown to him, Steven had a face of understanding, well aware of how troublesome this person could be.
