Ashlyn bought some fruits, pastries, and snacks along the way before she continued driving toward the movie studio.
Meanwhile, at the hotel next to the movie studio, Naomi went to take a warm shower in the morning after she woke up feeling sweaty.
After she was done, she reached for her bath towel and face towel that she had placed on the rack earlier.
She never liked to use the items prepared by hotels.
Be it towels or beddings, she was used to bringing her own items. Her bath towels, face towels, and beddings were of the same set. All of them were yellow with Pikachu printed on them.
Looking at the Pikachu on her items would cheer her up instantly.
Once she got her towel, she wrapped her body with it and tucked the corner as she normally would.
Suddenly, she felt a sudden jab of pain, and she frowned in response. Without hesitation, she took off her towel and saw beads of blood starting to ooze out from her arm.
She opened her towel and examined it closely by carefully tracing the towel with her fingertips. Something hard was hidden in between the soft fabric of her towel.
She got her towels from an international brand, so it was thick and of high quality. If she hadn't noticed it, she might never know that something was hidden inside her towel.
She was stunned and didn't have time to worry about her injured arm. What exactly is hidden inside this towel?
Immediately, she walked out of the bathroom and placed the towel under the lights before she carefully pressed onto it. A while later, a few sharp needles were squeezed out.
The fact that the tiny embroidery needles were hidden in the towel was absolutely horrendous.
The two that were tainted with her blood caught her eye, and she kept staring at them.
Naomi never expected that someone would do such a thing to her.
Right when she was thinking about the woman who sneaked into her room a few days ago, someone knocked on her door.
Alarmed, she frowned while looking toward the door. “Who's there?”
“Naomi, it's me,” Ashlyn called from the other side of the door.
Instantly, Naomi relaxed and went to open the door.
The moment she saw the tall woman at her doorstep, all the misery she felt for the past few days surged out from within her. “Ashlyn...” Naomi called out her name with hints of sobs in her voice.
