In a blink of an eye, Sabrina had taken off her earrings and started picking the lock with it.
Click! The door unlocked.
Just when Sabrina was about to enter, she reminded Sasha, “Alright. I’ll go in while you keep watch here. Oh, you had better find a place to hide, just so that no one sees you here.”
Given how quickly events were unfolding, Sasha had no choice but to agree.
After closing the door behind Sabrina, she found a spot to hide.
As time ticked by, she began to worry as Sabrina had yet to come out after being inside for a long time.
What made matters worse was that someone had come over.
“Strange. Why is the door opened?”
“Oh? Let’s go in quickly and check. Mr. Hayes is about to come home. It would be troublesome if he finds out.”
The moment she heard the frantic exchange, it was quickly followed by the sound of footsteps entering.
What?
Mr. Hayes is coming back soon?
Sasha retreated in panic. She planned to avoid them and find a way to inform Sabrina.
However, she suddenly heard a loud thump coming from inside the building.
What’s going on?
Did something happen to Sabrina?
Sasha turned pale at once. When she saw the maid approach, she dashed into the building without thinking.
After that, she shut the door tightly behind her.
The moment it was closed, no one outside could see what was going on inside.
After she saw the maid leave from the keyhole, she turned around and scrutinized the place as it was her first time in there.
“Whew…”
“Who is it?”
The sound of someone breathing caused Sasha to break out in cold sweat.
However, after gasping in shock, she realized that there was no one around.
Instead, the plaques that filled the memorial hall and were illuminated by a dim light sent a shiver down her spine.
This place is really spooky.
Gulping, Sasha forced herself to calm down.
After that, she glanced upstairs and began tip-toeing upward in search of Sabrina.
“Sabrina? Sabrina? Where are you?”
Silence greeted her instead.
When she arrived upstairs, it was just as eerie. She could hear nothing else other than her own breath.
Where’s Sabrina? Where did she go?
Standing on the second floor with all the windows shut, Sasha scanned the surroundings quickly.
She was shocked to see that the second floor was a complete bedroom. It had a bed, table, and even a dresser.
