A sly look flashed past Monica’s eyes before she nodded. “Alright, I’ll tell you.”

She moved closer to Sophia before suddenly holding up a finger. Sophia found herself drawn to the strange design on Monica’s finger. Then, the finger began to move side to side quickly. Sophia felt her head spinning as her gaze remained locked on the finger. She could not seem to look away no matter how hard she tried. A few seconds later, all thoughts left her mind and she was left standing there dumbly. Her eyes stared off into space, blank and dull.

 
 

Monica took in the dazed look on the hypnotized Sophia before her lips quirked into a pleased smirk. “Go tell your bodyguards that you’re coming with me to see Maya and Nina. Send them back home without you.”

Sophia instantly turned around and headed outside. She dutifully repeated her orders to her bodyguards.

“Ma’am, you’re asking us to go back first? You really want to go with her all alone?” her bodyguards expressed their concerns.

 

“Yes. Now, return home.”

 

With that said, Sophia followed after Monica, who had just exited the private room and was walking off.

One of the bodyguards piped up in alarm, “Why would Ma’am suddenly order us back home without her? Didn’t she warn us about how that Monica woman was incredibly sly and to be careful before we came?”

 

“Yeah. I got the feeling something was off about Ma’am too.”

After a brief discussion, the bodyguards decided to follow the two women. However, when they exited the café, Monica and Sophia were nowhere to be seen.
