Chapter 129: Mission Impossible

"Goddess have mercy!" Violet shrieked, her heart leaping into her throat when Lila barged into the room like a whirlwind.

Startled, Violet almost dropped the phone in her hand, swallowing nervously. Thanks to her guilty conscience, she felt like she had been caught doing something illicit, though in reality, she had been doing nothing but calming her nerves.

Lila suddenly coughed, waving her hand in front of her face as if trying to clear the air. "What in the moon’s name—did you spray perfume? What is this? It’s choking me!"
