Chapter 186 What's really going on here? Part1

I didn't explain to Betty as my eyes scanned the crowd relentlessly.

Every half minute, I glanced at my watch, feeling oddly calmer as the appointed time drew nearer.

What was meant to happen would happen.

I lost count of how many times I checked my watch until the time we agreed upon finally arrived.

Yet, as I surveyed the crowd, there was no sign of Luna and Michael.

It struck me as odd.

Luna was never one to be late.

Why wasn't she here?

Perhaps it was just my mechanical watch being slow.

I reassured myself and decided to wait a bit longer, but even after five more minutes, they still hadn't appeared.

"Check the time, will you?" I finally asked Betty, my patience wearing thin.

Betty pulled out her phone.

She always used her phone for the time, which was synced to the network and more accurate, while my watch was more of a status symbol than anything practical.

"Oh... it's 9:05..." Betty glanced at her phone and then told me.
