CHAPTER 128 I Will Keep Myself Pure for You

  The entire press conference ended, and the TV had switched to commercials. I was still in a daze, unable to process what I had just seen.

  I snapped out of it and immediately picked up my phone to call Lucas.

  The phone rang once, no answer. Twice, three times, still nothing. My chest tightened, like something heavy was pressing down on me, and breathing became difficult.

  It was 9:30 PM. By this time, he should have been back at the hotel. If he wasn't picking up, what was he doing?

  I spent a good five minutes lost in my thoughts, feeling worse by the second. Just as I was about to call him again, my phone rang.

  The ringtone played for a while before I took a deep breath and answered.

  "What's up? Miss me?" Lucas' teasing voice came from the other side.

  I answered with a soft "mm," trying to stay calm, and asked, "Where are you?"

  "At the hotel, just finished showering and was about to rest," he said.
