Chapter 96

The servant was instantly freaked out by the sudden move.

Her face went pale, and she started backing up, yelling, "You're trespassing! I'll call the cops if you try anything!"

The servant clammed up, shaking with fear.

Katniss looked at the door Conrad had just busted open and felt a weird sense of satisfaction. She lifted her chin, "Nice work, I'll give you a raise!" "Thanks, Madam," Conrad grinned.

Katniss thought about correcting him but decided against it. Conrad was right to call her that.

What was she doing here again?
