Aboli looked at Louis' faint smile on the screen, her gaze deep, the corners of her lips curving into a delighted grin.
"Perhaps we'll see Louis again soon," she said softly.
Luna's voice rang sharply in Aboli's mind, grating to the ears: "We've already met Louis before you did!"
Aboli laughed, ignoring the tone of the defeated one at her mercy.
"Then this time, let's see who reaches him first, shall we?" Aboli chuckled, issuing her challenge.
Luna burst out laughing: "You'll definitely lose!"
With that, she cut the connection.
Aboli sat back in her chair, her hand gently caressing the screen that kept replaying Louis' smile on loop.
My god, Louis, you genuinely are the most fascinating human I've ever met…
"Let's hope you don't die too soon," Aboli murmured. She also believed Louis wouldn't die so easily—scammers tended to live long, sometimes even thrive, didn't they?

Swish!
