Chapter 109 4: Future Plans

• The Chill restaurant was in the third building opposite the university, which made it easy to locate, and that was where Lionel stayed, waiting for her. He reached out to her this morning, and he told her he hoped to see her and do a little catching up. She hadn’t seen him since the company’s anniversary party, which took place two weeks ago. Since the battle between packs ended two years ago, he and Sesi moved outside the pack estate. They had no cause not to, and that made it harder to reach them. Their relationship was stronger than ever. She didn’t have any reason to say no to the meeting, but she hinted that she only had a thirty-minute lunch break and couldn’t go very far. Lionel then told her they would have to find the closest place to sit out and talk. So she suggested lunch at the Chill restaurant because it was closer to her place of work.
• Zera waved at Lionel, who sat at the lunch table waiting for her arrival, and after a few seconds of waving nonstop, Lionel noticed. He waved back and beckoned to her, and she stepped further into the Chill restaurant, which had only a few customers seated. As she got close to where he sat, she felt cold shivers in her veins that halted her walk. She had never experienced such a thing before, and it felt as if her life was being drained out of her as fast as the speed of light. Lionel’s eyes narrowed as he stared at her, confused as to why she wouldn’t move.
• “Zera,” he called, and like a spell, she snapped out of the trance and walked all the way to meet him. “What the hell was that?” He asked with widened eyes filled with panic.
