?Chapter 782:


    “I don’t buy it—unless you call your friend and have hime over,” Ralphy challenged, looking unconvinced.


    “Fine! I’ll call him right now!” Robin pulled out his phone and confidently dialed the number.


    Meanwhile, some distance away, Christina’s phone buzzed in her pocket. She nced at the screen, and her brow furrowed. It was her second number—the one linked to her undercover identity. She quickly slipped away under the excuse of using the bathroom.


    Back on the other end, Robin stared at his screen, confused. Why wasn’t his friend picking up? Could something have happened to him?


    “No answer? Guess you were just bluffing,” Ralphy teased.


    Robin red. “Why would I lie? I’ll try again.” He dialed the number once more.


    Having freshly returned to her room, Christina shut the door behind her and checked the caller ID. Seeing it was from Robin, she rolled her eyes in exasperation.


    She sighed, cleared her throat, and then hit answer. Before she could even say anything, Robin’s voice burst through, loud and frantic. “Dude! Thank God you picked up—I was starting to think something happened to you!”


    Christina rolled her eyes a second time and then dropped her voice into a low, husky tone. “What do you want?”


    “I was wondering if you’re free right now,” Robin asked, practically bouncing with expectation. It had been a while since he’d seen his friend, and he was eager to reconnect.


    “What do you need me for?” Christina asked directly.


    “I’m on vacation, out on an ind. Wannae hang out?” Robin asked, practically vibrating with excitement.


    Start your next adventure at gα?ησv???s


    “Can’t. Got stuff going on. Busy,” Christina replied tly, shutting him down fast. She was already on the ind. There was no way she could show up without blowing her cover. It wasn’t as simple as adopting a little disguise.


    Robin’s excitement fizzled. “Okay then. Focus on your work. Let’s catch up when you’re free.”


    “Okay,” Christina mumbled, and ended the call. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Back outside, Ralphy had been eavesdropping on the whole thing.


    Just as Robin put his phone down and turned his head, he found Ralphy practically breathing down his neck. They almost bumped noses.


    “What the heck are you doing?” Robin jumped, shoving Ralphy away. “You trying to kiss me or what?”


    Before Ralphy could p back, Davina’s voice rang out behind them. “What’s going on here?”


    Robin immediately jabbed a finger in Ralphy’s direction. “This guy is such a creep!”


    “Huh?” Davina blinked, baffled, unsure how Ralphy had suddenly earned such a title.<fncd9a> Latest content published on find~novel</fncd9a>
