I wandered down the hallway without any particular direction, my heart still racing from what I had seen. Suddenly, I heard a noise coming from a room—someone was coming out. I ran as fast as I could.
“What the hell are you doing?” a man’s voice called from behind me.
I turned into another part of the floor and saw a group of men. One of them noticed me, and I immediately turned back. On my left, there was a single room at the end of the corridor. I slipped inside quickly and locked the door.
“Safe… for now,” I whispered to myself, my chest heaving.
“Hmph!”
I turned my head and froze.
“What the hell are you doing here? Who are you?”
“Please… help me!” I begged.
“Where the hell did she go?” a voice muttered, irritated.
From outside, the i***t’s scream rang out again.

“Quick! Go deliver this to the boss, hurry! Start working!” someone ordered.
What was happening here?

“I’m here,” I said.
“What happened with that waiter?” she asked.
“Nothing. I just suspected him for a moment.”
“He’s here. We have to be very careful!”
