"Did you drug me?Why can't I move? Was it in the green tea? I didn't even drink it because of you, So how?" She asked, her frustration growing by the second.
Mammon seemed amused by her questions and his response only made Eunice more agitated. "How can I answer all those questions, woman?" he replied dismissively. "If I hadn't stopped you from drinking the green tea you care so much about, you wouldn't even be alive by now". Mammon said cryptically.
Eunice was even more confused as she questioned him further.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"You trust your little maid too much", Mammon replied with a smirk.
Eunice's thoughts turned to her maid, Elizabeth, as she wondered what role she played in this bizarre situation.
Mammon seemed to sense her confusion and frustration, and he continued to taunt her. "Just be thankful to me that you are alive," he said.
Eunice was about to respond when Mammon's tone shifted " So you really don't know anything about me?" he said.
"Do you know my father? Satan? ", he asked, his smile now betraying his handsome features. Eunice was taken aback by the question.
"No, I don't," She replied cautiously.
Mammon's next question only added to her confusion. "You know nothing about the world you live in, how about God? Do you know him?". He asked, his voice growing more aggressive.
Eunice didn't want to anger him further so she replied carefully. "Yes, I know of a God."
"He is the Jewish baby that little book talks about". Eunice replied.
Mammon seemed surprised by her response.
"Jewish baby? Little book?" he said, clearly confused.
Eunice was now getting frustrated by the mammon's antics.
"Do you mean Jesus and the Bible?". Mammon asked
"This mere human has no fear for the holy book". He added with a smirk. And when Eunice mentioned that Jesus was Jewish. Mammon's response was equally surprising.
"Looks like some of history has been tampered with over time, Jesus wasn't even Jewish" he said.
Eunice was growing increasingly agitated as she demanded to know what Mammon wanted. " I do not care if he was a Jew, just tell me what you want, is it money?". She asked, her anger rising.
But Mammon was distracted by something else as he looked at the door. He slowly began to fade away. "I have to go now, call my name if you have a wish" He said as he slowly faded away.
Eunice couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes." what trick is this?". She asked in a high and demanding tone, but she received no response.
Immediately, She heard a knock on the door,
"Madam, you have an urgent meeting with the governor in 30 minutes".A staff member said as she walked into the office looking at Eunice who seemed lost in thought.
"Cancel the meeting, I have a headache". Eunice said in a soft tone.
"I don't think that will be possible Madam. He wants to see you in person". The staff replied respectfully.
Eunice let out a deep sigh, realizing that she has no choice but to attend this meeting."Alright, get everything ready. we will leave in 10 minutes" She replied, forcing a smile on her face as she realized that she had gained control over her body again.
"Okay madam, is there anything else you want me to do". The staff said politely.
"Yes, Get me the security footage for my office, "Eunice said.
The staff gave a confused look as different thoughts went through her mind "Okay madam, excuse me" She said politely as she left.

Some minutes after Mrs. Eunice left her mansion.
Diego approaches Nevaeh, requesting to speak with him.
Nevaeh, sensing something amiss, responded in a suspicious manner to Diego's timid expression.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"We searched everywhere, but once again, we found nobody in the madam's room, and I am certain that no one went in or out"
Diego said, looking puzzled.
"So the only person who has seen this thief is Eunice?". Nevaeh asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"That's correct, Sir Nevaeh, The madam claims to have seen him twice". Diego replied in confusion.
Annoyance etched on Nevaeh's face as he looked at Diego. "What are you insinuating?" he asked.
"Are you saying that Eunice is going crazy and she is beginning to see men appear and disappear in her room". Nevaeh asked in an intimidating tone as he approached Diego, Although Diego was larger and more muscular than him
"Calm down Sir Nevaeh" Diego said as he held Nevaeh back.
"That's not what I'm saying. My only reason for meeting you is because I found a cup filled with green tea in the Madam's room" Diego said.
Nevaeh looked confused. "Green tea?" he asked.
Neveah later explained that Elizabeth, Eunice's maid, Prepared green tea for her every morning. He suspected that Eunice didn't drink it as she was in a hurry.
"It was filled with poison," Diego said.
Neveah's eyes widened. "Poison? What do you mean?". He asked
Diego had someone examine the green tea and discovered that it contained chemicals used to make poison for insects.
"Dude, Do you realize what you are saying? You are accusing Eunice's precious maid of trying to poison her? Are you sure what you are saying?" Nevaeh asked, trying to make sense of the situation.
Diego was quick to clarify that he wasn't accusing Elizabeth of anything YET. He suggested that it was possible that the thief could've added the poison to the green tea, He just wanted to ask Elizabeth some questions.
"It's okay Diego".Neveah said as he decided to handle the situation himself.
"I'm gonna handle this myself bro, go continue your search for the thief". Nevaeh said as he walked towards the kitchen to look for Elizabeth.
Diego had no other choice but to turn around to continue his job.

40 minutes later.
After searching around the big house for Elizabeth who was nowhere to be found, Neveah goes back to the kitchen and lets out a big sigh.
Suddenly, a tiny voice calls out to him.
"Uncle!".
Neveah turns around with a surprised look as he sees Aurora.
"Yoo! Little girl", He greets her with a smile.
However, he notices a worried look on her face,
" Are you alright?" he asks.
Aurora walks to him with a frown ." No, I'm not, there is something out there uncle". She points at the door in the kitchen that leads outside.
Nevaeh looks in confusion and asks, "What do you mean?"
Aurora explains to him that she could smell something rotten coming from outside so she came to check it out.
"It's someone, uncle, you shouldn't go there".
She later implies that it's actually an odor from someone out there.
" I think it's a man, " Aurora warns.
Nevaeh was really confused by what was happening but later snapped back to his senses.
"You should go back to your room now little boss, you know mummy will get mad if she finds out". he tells Aurora.
Hearing that, Aurora lets out a sigh and turns back to leave, "Be careful please". She says as she leaves the kitchen.
Nevaeh is lost in thought about what Aurora could be talking about as he wonders if it could be the thief.
He walks up to open the door, and upon opening it, he opens his eyes in shock as he calls out
"ELIZABETH!"
