My Dad's Bestfriend

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Take Me To Your Room

Evelyn

For the first time in my life, I despised the sheer size of my father's mansion. The damn thing was so massive that even climbing the stairs felt like traversing the entire country. I kid you not. Those ridiculously long flights of stairs were a struggle, especially when I was in a rush to catch up with the devil himself. Usually, it never felt like a challenge, but today was different.

When I finally reached the top, my breaths came out in heavy gasps, reminiscent of someone who had just finished running a marathon.

The floor stretched before me, vacant and devoid of any signs of the man who seemed to have vanished into thin air like a magician. Well...he did have his moments of magic, but not in this instance. If you know what I mean.

As my eyes futilely searched for any trace of him, my ears picked up the faint sound of footsteps

I turned to the left, following the sound, and soon enough, I spotted the devil walking through the long corridor.

For a moment, I contemplated calling out his name, but my bizarre curiosity got the better of me. Some inexplicable desire to remain hidden for a little longer took hold, and I trailed behind him like a spy shadowing a dangerous criminal.

My brows furrowed as I observed his measured steps. He seemed oblivious to my presence, showing no signs of suspicion or glancing back, which was a relief for my covert mission.

Thank goodness. So far, I remained undetected.

He made a turn, and I quickened my pace to catch up, only to find myself in an empty corridor.

What the heck!
