Sylvia's POV:
There was no way out. If I went back, the vampires would definitely find me.
After thinking for a while, I stepped closer to Nicole and begged, "Please help me."
"Why should I?" Nicole looked at me calmly. "Give me a reason."
"Because I am the hostage. If I die, you will be in trouble." My heart was crashing in my chest. I was scared out of my wits. I couldn't face those five vampires all by myself.
Nicole smiled, which was a rare sight. However, it didn't reach her eyes. It was a mere movement of her lips on her stony face.
"I have no obligation to do anything that my master hasn't ordered me to do," she said flatly.
I was a little surprised. It seemed that Hobson didn't care about my life or death, which meant he didn't care much about his cooperation with Geoffrey either.
Perhaps Hobson wasn't interested in the deal from the very beginning.
The sound of increasing footsteps snapped me out of my thoughts. The vampires had gone up to the third floor. I froze in panic. I had reached a dead end. I could neither go forward nor retreat.
"Let me go. I'll figure it out myself." I stared at
Nicole and clenched my fists.
I broke into a cold sweat as fear consumed me.
Even the dim light in the corridor frightened me.
I didn't know if I could escape, but I couldn't give up without trying.
Nicole looked at me for a moment and turned away.
I quickly walked past her and turned to examine her face. However, her expression remained unchanged. Nicole had looked like a dead tree rooted in the soil since the first time I saw her. Although she was still breathing and talking, it looked like something had hollowed her soul. She had no one else in mind except for her master, Hobson.
