"One is missing," Gabriel said, a frown appearing on his face.
Anna's eyes widened. "It cannot be. I made sure to count all the corpses. If one is missing then I should have known."
Although Gabriel's expression was composed, Anna knew that this was a big issue. If a corpse was missing it meant that someone had sneaked in here without her notice.
She hated this because it made her feel as if she was not competent enough.
Anna's thoughts spiraled quickly. If a corpse had disappeared from the basement then it meant someone had entered the mansion without being detected.
For someone whose duty was to watch over Gabriel and the household, that was unacceptable. Her hands tightened slightly at her sides as she looked around the room again, her gaze moving across every frozen block as if the missing body might suddenly appear if she stared long enough.
