Her explanation eased my unease, and I nodded in understanding."Good night," Ava bid me before gently closing the door. However, as she shut the door, it failed to latch securely, leaving a gap that remained visible.

As I scanned the place, my gaze landed on three maids who were hastily retreating, their faces full of guilt and apprehension. Reacting swiftly, I raised my voice, commanding them to halt and return to face me."You three, stop right there and come here," I ordered sternly, my anger palpable in my tone. As the maids approached, I directed my questioning gaze at them. "What's all this? Who dared to bring my belongings out like this?"

I frantically screamed for help, my voice echoing through the empty office. The sound of running footsteps outside my door sent shivers down my spine and I could tell even from within that what was happening was really tough, I haven't been in this situation before in my life. I grabbed my handkerchief and tied it around my nose to block out the acrid smell filling the room.
