Chapter 99: Party on Coelus

After proposing the idea to Oliv, I suggested, "Well, if you want to, we can contact Veronica. Ask her if she wants to go."

Oliv agreed, saying, "Ok. Let's do that."

Instead of going for Veronica immediately, I took out my phone and called her.

After a short while, Veronica answered, "Yes, Max?"

I responded, "Yeah, it's me. I have a quick question for you."

"What is it?"

I asked, "Do you want to join us for a party at Coelus?"

Veronica hesitated, questioning, "To Coelus? To that weird place?"

I assured her that it was safe, and she relented. "Well, if you're saying that it's safe, then why not?"

I added, "Oh. And don't shy away. You know, that's just their culture. You should dress attractively."

As I mentioned it, even Oliv gave me a strange look.

Veronica responded, "Sure, I guess..."

After that, I concluded, "OK, we will be there to pick you up at your house in 4 hours."
