"Ahh… Sure! Tell her that her friend stopped by to say hello. I just arrived in the country, and she once told me that if I ever visited Novera, she'd show me around."
"I see. I'll let her know then. May I have your name?"
"Hudson. Just Hudson."

"Let's see if she still ignores me this time," he muttered, unaware that every word was being relayed into Lola's ears. "Hahaha!"
Lola lowered her gaze, his laughter still echoing through her earpiece. Her hand brushed against it, pulling it away from her ear.
