Adelicate woman stood at the door, panting and sweating profusely as if she was running away from an assailant. All hands in the room paused with their cards in hand, staring at her like she was crazy.
“Where is she? Where is Grace?”
Millie's voice rang in the room, her voice coming out in short pants, and her forehead red from running so much. Before Millie and Gemma could take a taxi after leaving the clothing store earlier, Millie received a call from Grace. Acall for help.
In a shushed and scared tone, Grace said she was in trouble at the Skyline Restaurant.
Then, she heard an angry male voice shout over the phone, and the call got disconnected. She tried calling several times after that, but no one picked up.
She rushed over here without thinking and started searching all the private rooms. Her heart beat faster, filling with fear as she didn’t see Grace.
Grace was a good friend she met at her grandmother’s house. Her family was not well-off. Her father gambled, and her mother was ill all year round. Grace was a very strong woman. She worked during the day and took many part-time jobs at night.
The men in the room were watching Millie’s move like hawks, wondering what this strange woman wanted in their room. Then, Marcus recognized her. Millie?
He squeezed the cards in his hand with closed eyes as if imagining Millie’s neck in place of the cards.
“Are you following me?” he grunted out.
“Where did you hide Grace?” Millie returned angrily, anxiously searching for Grace everywhere in the room.
Delmor stared at Millie for long seconds, trying to figure out where he knew her. She looked too familiar. Then, it hit him and his eyes lit up.
“Isn't this... Isn’t this Mrs. Thomas?”
Mylo gasped.
“Mrs. Thomas?”
Delmor nodded. There was a picture of Millie wearing a mask on the news today.
This woman was a copy of the woman in that picture.
