Chapter 1373: That was close.
"This is..." Mark trailed off, hearing some noises outside the office.
Jumping from his seat, he rushed to the door and pressed his ear against it. He listened to the faint sounds outside, which were slowly approaching the principal's office.
At that moment, Mark knew he would be in trouble if anyone saw him there. Without further ado, he rushed back to the desk and closed the monitor. He glanced at the flash drive with hesitation but then shifted his gaze toward the door.
Pulling the flash drive would stop the transfer. He could only hope it was hidden enough that no one would notice. With that, Mark looked around and hid in the closet-the only place that could conceal a person in this office.
A few seconds later, light filtered through the small gaps in the closet and shone on Mark. His breathing grew shallow, and his back almost fused with the wooden shelves. He sensed movement outside. When he peeked through a gap, he saw a figure—a nun-enter the room, grab something from the stand, and leave.

Mark watched through the gap, his heart racing as the nun walked closer to where he was hiding. He squeezed himself into the corner, almost blending in with the wood. Yet, his eyes remained fixed on the gap.
The nun was standing right outside the closet door, still talking on the phone.

Just a little longer, and this person would find out someone was hiding in the closet.
"Is it in the closet, Mother?" the nun asked, unaware that Mark's breath stopped right then and there.
