Xavier cleared his throat. As if doing that would take away his anxiousness.
"So there's something I'd like to talk to you about." Xavier began nervously. And Meret turned to face him in anticipation of the topic. "It's about a rogue."
"Rogues… what about them?" Meret asked almost immediately, perplexed.
Then her eyes widened. "Wait—don't tell me they were the ones behind your kidnap."
Xavier let out a nervous chuckle. A particular one was behind it, but that was information he had no intention of giving Meret.
The fact that she was even imagining some rogue threatening him made him want to laugh hard. If only she knew the truth. But that wasn't why he brought the topic up.
"No, Meret. No," he said quickly. "And about my kidnap… I honestly.. don't know what happened. I just woke up in a weird place. I untied myself—apparently I was tied—and when I was heading out of the building, that was when I saw Lisa."
