Just like that, the owner died. And the only one to witness what happened was Keith. He doubted that the people would believe him if he told them what happened.
So, Keith quickly returned to his room and locked the door behind him. He was going to pretend like he never left his room in the first place. That way, people would not be able to irritate him.
Nothing happened for the whole morning. Keith was undisturbed and he was happy to spend his time alone.
But by the time evening came, there was gossip going around. Keith was sitting in his room but he could still hear what was going on outside.
"Did you hear? The owner went missing?"
"I did hear about it. Where could he have gone to? I do not want to sound ungrateful but that man is a greedy bastard. There is no way he would have left his fortune behind like this."
