Li Caiyi wanted to make sure whether that person really had left or not, but her foot was rooted in its place, refusing to move. She was too scared to find out.
What if that person was still outside the room, waiting for their chance?
Her heart almost leapt out of her ribcage when her phone rang, followed by a knocking on the door. Unlike the last time, the knocks weren't aggressive, but they made her body tense with apprehension.
"Excuse me? Is there anyone inside?"
That familiar voice belonged to the security guard she had met a few times before. Li Caiyi was so relieved her legs almost gave up on her. She gingerly approached the door while answering the phone.
"Yes? I'm inside, but I'm too scared to check outside."
"Young miss, no one is outside except me, so you can rest assured."
"That's a relief. Can you please check on the CCTV for me after this?"
