Debra surveyed the spilled wine and toppled barrels. Even with ten cleaning staff laboring through the night, it was impossible to clean up.
Drake was doing this on purpose to give her a hard time.
If she wanted him to escort her to the casino, she needed to rethink her strategy.
Seizing a fleeting opportunity before Kale returned, Debra darted to the first floor.
A maid spotted her and asked, "Ms. Frazier, why are you out of the cellar? Mr. Lowe ordered that you can't leave until it's cleaned up."
Debra forced a nervous smile. "I was scared down there all alone. Have you seen Kale? He was with me, but I looked around, and he just disappeared."
The maid paused. "I think I saw him go upstairs a while ago. He'll probably be back soon. If you're scared, I can be down there with you."
Debra hesitated. "But Mr. Lowe said no one else is allowed down there except Kale. And I just found out the detergent was running out. Could you grab me a bottle? I'll wait down there."
"Sure, I'll get it for you."
"Thanks."
Once the maid left, Debra hurried back to the cellar.
Moments later, Kale came back with a bottle of detergent. He glanced around, noting the absence of the maid and the eerie silence that had settled over the cellar.
"Ms. Frazier?" His voice echoed, met only by the unsettling emptiness. "Stop hiding."
He stepped deeper into the dimly lit room. The mess remained, but Debra was nowhere to be found.
Frustration crept into his voice. "If you don't come out, don't blame me for what happens next."
