This smells the same as the shower gel I got on my hands in the shower room. Why can I smell the scent of Sonia’s shower gel here, though? Unless, that shower gel is not hers to begin with. Before we went out, it was Tina who used this bathroom, which means that the owner of the shower gel caused Sonia to slip.

While grabbing the bathrobe in his hand tightly, Toby fixed his cold eyes on a bottle of shower gel in the toilet cabinet. The bottle was transparent, so he could clearly see that there was less than half of the shower gel left inside.

As for where the other half had gone, the answer was obvious.

With a terrifying expression, he threw aside the bathrobe in his hand and walked out of the bathroom.

 

Outside in the living room, Tina was sitting on the couch and talking to Jean on the phone. When she heard his footsteps, she lifted her eyes and saw the man’s cold face. Immediately, she felt a thump inside her heart, but she still managed to force a smile on her face. “Toby, you are done showering?”

Why is he staring at me with such terrifying eyes?

“Tina, why aren’t you saying anything?” Jean’s loud voice could be heard over the phone.

After calming herself down, Tina smiled and replied, “Madam White, it’s getting late. You need to get some rest, so we’ll just have to stop here for now. See you next time!”

Then, Tina hung up and put the phone back onto the coffee table. As she got up and approached Toby, she could feel his eyes getting more and more terrifying the more she got closer to him.

Deep down, she felt worried but she still remained calm on the surface.
