Feeling her body ache intensely and experiencing dizziness due to the lack of sleep during the journey, Scarlett decided it was best to retire to her room and rest.
As Scarlett was on the brink of sleep, her cell phone vibrated. She thought it was Xander. However, when she checked, she was taken aback to see a text from an unfamiliar number.
'Odd, why isn't my spam filter catching this?' She grumbled inwardly, vexed by her program's lapse in handling texts from unknown sources.
She decided to shut off her phone, but another message popped up before she could do that. Curious, she opened the message.
Her body tensed as she read the short but impactful message on the screen:
[Unknown: ] Scarlett, this is me, Simon Gilwynn.
[Unknown: ] Sorry to contact you like this. I just want to ask for your time to meet.
At the mention of that name, Scarlett felt her legs turn weak, causing her to clutch the edge of the bed to steady herself.
