A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 188

"Does anyone have a hair pin?" Emily turned to ask the girl in the room.

Katherine did not know what she wanted to do, but she removed a water drill hairpin from her hair and handed it to Emily without hesitation.

Emily shook her head and said,"Not this, I need a black U hairpin."

The hairpin Emily was looking for was one of the most commonly used hairpins. Soon, another girl handed her several pins. "You... What on earth do you want to do?" she asked.

"Thank you," replied Emily. She took the hairpin and answered,"I want to try and see if I can open that lock."

All of a sudden, the eyes of every girl lit up with a glimmer of hope. They had never thought of it before. They only whined and grumbled, instead of thinking of a way to escape. 'What if we succeeded?' everyone was thrilled by the very idea.

They really wanted to escape. After all, nobody wanted to end up as some rich old man's plaything...

Penny who had teased Emily just now, looked at Emily's attempt to open the lock with a hairpin, and said, in a disdainful tone,"Hmph, do you think you are Macgyver? If these locks could be opened so easily..."

Before she had time to finish, she heard a "click". To her surprise, it was the clicking sound of the lock opening in Emily's palm.

Penny was at a loss for words.

The rest of girls in the warehouse followed suit.

After the dead silence, a cheer of joy burst out in the warehouse,"She's opened it!" Emily really unlocked it!

For a few seconds, Emily was in a daze. In truth, she didn't expect to the open the lock so easily.

Coincidentally, Jacob was the one who had taught her how to unlock padlocks with a hairpin just to kill time and boredom. Little did she think that it would come into great use one day.

However, before the girls could celebrate, there was a loud knock on the door, accompanied by the disgruntled roar of a man,"What are you all screaming about? Do you want me to come in there?"

Immediately, the room went pin-drop silent. All the girls shut their mouths tight and dared not to let a sound out.

Soon, someone opened the door. A guard came in to inspect. All the girl's hearts stopped beating at once!

Considering the vicious nature of these man, if they had caught the girls trying to escape, it would be unimaginable to think what they would do to the girls!

"What are you all yelling about!" the guard shouted. Needless to say, the guard was not happy about all the commotion. Even these beautiful faces could not calm his anger down. He said angrily,"Do you want to die?"

When he scanned the room, his eyes caught Emily, who was standing nearest to the window. He looked at the window again. The lock on the window was still intact. It seemed that there was nothing unusual about it...

"Hey... There are cockroaches here!" Emily said, to distract the guard's attention. With a fragile voice, Emily sounded like she was crying. In truth, she was extremely nervous.

The guard came in so abruptly that she pressed the lock as fast as she could, and hid all her hairpins. She was not sure whether the guard had noticed anything odd or not.

"Yes, there are cockroaches here!" The girls were just as nervous as Emily, fearing that the guard would catch on to their little plan. So they echoed Emily's words, which successfully distracted the attention of the guard. "Please spray some insecticide..." they pleaded.

"You want insecticides! Why don't you say you want to go to heaven!" Impatient, the guard was not in the mood to entertain their complains. These women were all beautiful, but none of them belonged to him. Why would he care about them? "If I hear you screaming again, I will personally shove these cockroaches in your mouths one by one and make you eat them!"

Frightened and subdued, the girls lowered their heads and cowered in fear, without uttering another word.

Soon, the guard went out, satisfied. He locked the door behind him again.
