"Wait... no way, Miss Alice, you must be joking."
Ryan swallowed hard as he listened to Alice, clearly in disbelief.
"Live with you? In the same room? I must've misheard."
No matter how much he tried to deny it, the shock in his heart was undeniable. The car was dead silent, and Ryan had heard her loud and clear.
Ever since he was kidnapped and brought here, Ryan had been living in a basement full of surveillance cameras.
At first, it was hard to adjust, but over time, he got used to it. The place was actually pretty well-furnished, and the servants were attentive. Honestly, it was way more comfortable than the apartment he used to rent.
After a while, Ryan had grown accustomed to life in the basement, treating it like his second little hideaway.
He figured he'd be stuck down there until the mission was over. That was his plan, anyway.
