Chapter 42

Author's point of view...

Sonia's eyes widened as she heard someone talking about that incident. Though she doubted that it was a deliberate move, she never expected it to harm her.

But after hearing those words her mind swirled. She took a deep breath and decided to investigate the mysterious voices in the storeroom.

She quietly approached the door, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and resolve. She opened the door without making any sound, yet the hushed conversation abruptly stopped.

In that dimly lit storeroom, Sonia could barely make out the figures of two people. They seemed startled by her sudden entrance and hid behind the huge cases of groceries.

Sonia hesitated stepping ahead, but when she saw one of them was a woman, wearing red bangles, the same person Sonia had glimpsed earlier, she rushed behind her.

"Hey wait...!" she called out but that lady ran toward the back door.

"What are you doing here?" Sonia urged, her voice filled with a mixture of anger and curiosity.
