Scarlett's heart was thumping like crazy.
She was finally here. In front of the room that belonged to the Bellatrix_019—the most famous hidden hacker of the hacker world. People had spent years trying to trace her, challenge her, or just beg her for help. Scarlett had been friends with her online for over a year, yet even she had never seen her in person. And now?
Now she was about to walk into her room like it was just a casual Tuesday.
Haha! Those arrogant jerks in the hackerverse would be so jealous if they knew. Scarlett smirked.
She was still thinking about how dramatic her reveal would sound in their group chat when she noticed something—
Zion was no longer beside her.
She turned around quickly. "Huh?"
He had vanished quietly, leaving her alone in the hallway.
"…Okay," she whispered to herself, brushing her fingers through her hair to calm her nerves.
Knock knock.
She knocked twice on the door and stepped back politely.
Then—
The door creaked open from the inside.
