Ravi's POV
"Ravi, I want to tell you something." Irina sat in the passenger seat with her fingers interlocked. I could tell that she was nervous.
"Speak. Don't be afraid." I had one hand on the steering wheel and the other on her hand to make her feel safe.
"I felt like I heard someone talking in the basement earlier." She looked at me with her beautiful eyes, as if she wasn't certain.
"Oh really? What did that person say?" I asked her with a smile to relieve her anxiety.
"The man said, 'I'm here.'"
"Was it a man or a woman?"
"I didn't know. I was scared. The voice came from the room at the end of the corridor, and it terrified me."
"Are you sure it was the room at the end of the hallway?"
"Yes. I was about to open the door when Arthur stopped me."
"I think you must have been mistaken, Irina." I patted her hand and gave her a reassuring look.
