Evelyn was in awe when she was greeted with the beautiful sight of her bedroom. This wasn't a bedroom, it was a classroom. It was gigantic. Now she had an idea why Mansions were as big as they were portrayed to be, it was because each room in the mansion was a house on its own. Incredible!
Her bed was decorated with red materials. Starting from the bedspread to the pillows, it was a standard one and she quickly sat on it. It wasn't too hard nor too soft, it managed to bring out the feeling of both being mixed in the body of the user. The bed was placed in the middle of the room while it had drawers beside it where things could be kept and the lamps were standing gigantically on.
The floor was well-tiled and whosoever did this amazing job made sure that it wasn't too hard or slippery enough to kill someone.
There was another fascinating thing again, a chandelier was hung up the ceiling that provided wonderful lightening to the room and it was golden. The curtains were not opened but she touched the material used in sewing them.
"Definitely not from my imaginative universe." She chuckled. There was a small box fixed to the wall, it was that of the air conditioner service in the room. She opened the transparent wardrobe only to find it empty, she moved to the dressing mirror and opened the drawers there.
There was a mini section for what she called the library and reading department. Tons of books were arranged on the shelves and a reading desk was placed beside it for easy reaching.
She couldn't contain her excitement when she opened the bathroom.
"Oh my goodness…oh my wonderful goodness."
What was this bathroom made of? Where did they even get the materials in the first place? There was a bathtub, an automatic toilet, and then the shower. The bathtub and shower were on the opposite side of the toilet. It was brand new and clean which meant that no one had used the entire room before her.
She took off her clothes eagerly and half yelled, "Hurray" before getting into the bathtub. She turned on the running warm water and silently hummed the tune of a song before saying it loudly.
"We don't talk about Bruno no no no noooo, we don't talk about Bruno."
After staying in the bathroom for about twenty minutes, she wrapped the towel around herself and took her clothes to the drying machine in the bathroom, it was a small one but it was okay to use.
She twirled a bit as she went back to the bedroom as the cold air massaged her skin. Her phone rang and she picked up it on realizing that it was Debbie.
"Hey, bestie."
"Hey…hold on, you sound happy. Did you manage to strike a deal with the devil yet?"
"Stop calling him a devil, he isn't one." Evelyn defended Ryan.
"Oh oh, just a few hours with him, you are already defending him. Should I take that as you falling for him already?" Debbie teased as she opened the door of her apartment.
"Hell no! It is going to be the other way around. I just need to be in touch with him for the next two months to get the information before Shaft does something stupid." Evelyn stressed out.
"Yeah, I get it. Just be careful, Evelyn. I don't know much about this guy but you have to watch your back and don't let your guard down, if you feel like you are doing that then remember the reason you are there in the first place, okay? Do whatever you have to to get whatever you want without being suspected even if it means breaking his heart for the sake of your loved ones. Because if you can't do that, you will lose your only family while he continues to live but breaking his heart won't kill him, right? So do it. I need to have my baby freed from Shaft's mischievous claws ASAP!"
"Aww, thank you. I will definitely not be carried away but right now, I am being carried away by the vastness of Ryan's empire. Do you want to see what my room looks like?"
"Sure. Send the pictures to me on Whatsapp."
"Alright. Tomorrow, I am going shopping. Will you like to come along?"
"Nah, I will be quite busy. Trust me, you will be fine, alright?"
"Sure."
"Now send me those pictures." Debbie squealed and Evelyn laughed loudly, not a care in the world if she was too loud or not. The call ended and Evelyn started taking pictures of herself and the room before sending them to Debbie.
After this, she sent a message to her siblings to ask about their welfare before planning on her next step. She was in deep thought about the whole thing, she did not want to make any silly mistake now that she was in.
First of all, she lied to him about her brother needing some money for medical treatment so she needed to settle that first before any other thing. Well, tomorrow was another day for her…a day when she would be able to uncover the most covered things in the mansion.

Ryan allowed the water from the shower to flow through every significant part of his body as he rinsed the soap off it. His eyes were closed and the bathroom was covered in steam. He stayed under the shower for about fifteen minutes more, his mind calculating how the designs from the last meeting could have been made with fake gold.
He never for once used fake gold for his work, having gone through the whole security system, the workers were gently doing their work with no suspicious behavior going on.
Ryan stepped out of the bathroom half naked when he heard the healthy laughter coming from the room not too far from his room as he was wiping off his wet hair. He frowned and went to stand in front of his mirror, what could be the reason for her laughing like one of those Disney's old witches with a croaky voice?
The laughter soon died down and he climbed onto his bed, a little bit tired. Tomorrow was another day to pick up from where he stopped in the investigation and his work but whosoever did this was going to be in trouble very soon, he raised his hand a bit away from his face, and sparks that could blow out of fire showed before he curled his hand into a fist.
