The man in the room listened attentively to the sounds coming from the room next to his.

He didn’t even notice Winnie creeping stealthily into the room until she tapped him on the shoulder.

He jumped in fright. “Who are you? You scared me to death! Didn’t I say I’m waiting for someone and don’t need your service right now? Get out, quick!”

The man told Winnie off as he’d mistaken her for one of the staff members.

Winnie looked down at him wordlessly before digging into his shoulder blade with her fingers.

The pain caused the man to realize something was wrong. “You’re not one of the staff, are you? Why are you here?”

He struggled to free himself but to no avail due to his disadvantaged position of sitting on the ground.

Winnie bore down on his shoulder and utilized her height to flip him over using her knee as a pivot.

Her icy gaze remained locked on the man. “That should be my line. What’s your motive, and why are you stalking Josiah?”

“I’m not! I came here to have a meal. Who the h*ll is Josiah anyway? Let me go at once, or I’ll call the cops!” the man retorted.

Winnie scoffed. “Is that so? Do you think denial will save your skin? Lucky for me, I’ve got a way for you to spit out the truth!”

With that, she took hold of her phone and snapped several photos of the man’s face.

The man took the chance to break free from Winnie’s hold and escaped.

Winnie did not chase him down as she knew he would not tell the truth even if she managed to catch up to him.

Based on the equipment he’d been using, she surmised that he was a professional at this.

Those in his line of work usually kept the information of their employers a secret. Thankfully, she’d taken a clear photo of the man’s face.

She was extremely curious as to why he had been trailing Josiah.
