Wandering without a destination, that's what Isabella was doing. She crossed the pedestrian area, observing the quiet surroundings far from the skyscrapers, as the location of Jake Owen Brown's mansion was dominated by elite residential buildings. She kept walking, occasionally looking back, feeling terrified.
"Running away from the mansion isn't as easy as escaping the penthouse. It's so empty here, I don't even know when I'll find a shop or cafe... Restaurant... I can't even call a taxi!" she muttered in frustration, glancing back again. "And... I don't know where to go. This doesn't seem like the way to the main road. There's no public phone... should I just go back to Grandpa's mansion?"
With hesitation, Isabella turned around and entered an alleyway that was very quiet, even somewhat dark. She occasionally jogged a little, feeling increasingly scared, especially as she often heard the sound of dogs.
