Chapter 26

The more Nancy voiced her grievances, the fainter her conviction became, the hatred in her eyes simmering. But it was as if she didn’t have the guts to open the door to confirm her suspicions.

“Why don’t you come in and see for yourself?”

Grace nonchalantly shrugged, swung the door wide open and pointed to the spot where Edgar had been standing, “He is right there!”

Nancy felt a knot in her stomach.

Following Grace’s pointing finger, she saw nothing but an empty wall.

“Are you kidding me?”

She glared at Grace, her eyes seething with hostility.

Grace was taken aback for a moment.

Edgar was just here, did he possess some kind of supernatural ability?

As Nancy watched Grace’s reaction, she sensed something fishy was going on. In a huff, she pushed past Grace and proceeded to open every cubicle, scrutinizing each one.

Grace stood behind her, equally puzzled by Edgar’s sudden disappearance.

After combing through all the cubicles, they simultaneously set their sights on the last one, its door slightly ajar.

Nancy took a deep breath and with a sudden movement, thrust the door wide open!

Still nothing.

Grace, however, spotted the window ajar on the cubicle’s right side, and realization dawned on her.

She couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of the head of the Fallen Group, reduced to sneaking out of a restroom window.

Seeing Grace’s amusement, Nancy was stumped and her suspicions were reignited.

“If you’re the only one in the restroom, where did the phone ring come from?”

Grace waved dismissively, not responding.

The message was clear – it was for her to figure out.

Seething with anger, Nancy turned to Grace and spat out a threat, “Grace, you’re history to Edgar, I’m warning you to steer clear of him. If I catch you trying to make moves on him, I won’t let you off the h o o k!”
