Chapter 154 The Mind Game
The voice from the back was too soft.
Faye would have missed it if her hearing wasn't sensitive enough.
When Faye heard someone calling her name, she turned around to look for the source of the sound. She found Nylah who was hiding behind the stone pillar and clutched the corner of her clothes.
Nylah looked very nervous. She was trembling when she saw Faye was looking at her.
Faye was rushing. She looked at the watch on her wrist and said softly, "Nylah."
Nylah came out from the pillar and looked around to make sure there was no one. After that, she approached Faye quickly and said, "Faye...Faye, shall we talk in the car?"
After hearing that, Faye reached out to open the passenger door and said, "Get into the car."
Nylah made herself inside the car and looked at Faye who was walking to the driver's seat and getting into the car. She pursed her lips and said, "I saw it the other day."
Faye asked, "What did you see?"
Nylah looked frightened and said, "That man was beaten to death, his face was scratched with a knife, and he was thrown into the swimming pool in the backyard..."
Nylah's speech was stammering, and her body was trembling involuntarily with every word that she said.
After that, she looked at Faye timidly and asked, "That person... What... What is your relationship with that person?"
Faye and Nylah weren't close to each other. They only met each other once or twice before which hardly made them acquaintances, let alone opened up to each other.
Faye didn't answer Nylah's question directly. Instead, she asked, "Have you ever told anyone about this?"
Nylah shook her head and said, "No, I didn't tell anyone else except you. I didn't even mention it to Hank."
Faye turned her head and looked at her, "I will pretend that I didn't hear all those from you today. Keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone else!"
As soon as Faye finished her words, Nylah grabbed her arm and said, "But I'm afraid."
Faye looked confused, "Huh?"
Nylah's eyes turned red and said, "Faye, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I will be the next person to die. I am still very young. I don't want to die..."
Faye had dealt with different kinds of people in the entertainment industry and she could basically tell by a glance whether the person was telling the truth or not.
Faye knew that Nylah wasn't sincere before that and only tried to fawn on her. But now, she could sense that Nylah's fear was real.
After Nylah finished speaking, Faye didn't seem to want to continue the conversation. Nylah pursed her lips and said, "I just want to say that all I want is to live. It isn't my choice to get married to Hank..."
Nylah looked extremely frightened. Her speech was incoherent and disoriented.
Nylah kept on talking but Faye remained silent.
Later on, Nylah let go of Faye's hands, covered her face with her hands, and started to cry.
