A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 977

When Jack was about to call Feena to surprise her, he suddenly noticed a dazzling group of men approaching.

The moment they appeared, the ladies waiting nearby erupted into screams.

"NEOX, I love you like peanut butter loves jelly!"

"Mateo, I'm such a huge fan! My whole room is covered in your pics!"

"Oh my gosh! Check it out! Luca, the leader of NEOX, just showed up! Wow! Luca's not only super talented, but he's seriously hot too!"

"He's every bit as handsome as they say. Oh, I feel like I'm going to swoon seeing him!"

Jack was stunned to see that the famous NEOX was made up of four incredibly handsome young men.

At the front of the group, tall and trying to keep a low profile beneath a cap, was none other than Luca, his long-lost friend.

Back in the day, Luca had lived under the same roof as Jack, Isaac, and Joshua. They chatted about growing up, snacked together, and spent hours talking about women. But after he moved out of the dorms to chase his dreams, he never came back.

If not for this chance encounter, Jack might have almost forgotten about him. Who would have thought they would meet unexpectedly today?

From afar, Luca looked every bit the star—confident, polished, and far more mature than he remembered. As for the other three members of NEOX, he didn't recognize any of them.

Still, the joy of reuniting with an old friend surged in his heart. He waved excitedly and called out, "Luca! It's me—Jack!"

Luca, busy signing autographs for fans, suddenly heard a familiar voice. He turned and spotted Jack waving from behind the barricade. His face lit up with a bright smile. "Jack!"

"When did you get to Tarthy? Why didn't you call me? I could've picked you up, and we could've hung out for a couple of days!"

No one knew for sure how Luca treated others these days, but with Jack, he was still the same old friend. Maybe the hard years in showbiz had taught him to value the quiet, honest friendships he once had at school.

Jack chuckled awkwardly. "I wanted to, but I don't have your number!"

Only then did Luca remember—he'd changed his number after becoming a celebrity. It was kept strictly private. No wonder Jack couldn't reach him.

"My bad," Luca said apologetically. "I've been too busy these days and forgot to keep in touch with you all. So, how have you been all these years? And what about Isaac, Joshua, Ronnie, and Samuel? Is everyone doing okay?"

Luca had thrown himself so fully into chasing his dreams that he'd fallen out of touch with the world around him. These days, he barely knew what was going on in his old roommates' lives.
