It might be funny if someone Daisy knew found her in the bathtub, lying low and trying to hide herself from whoever was coming. But at this moment, her heart was on the verge of exploding from the fear of being discovered.
She could hear the room door opening, and the moment the bathroom door creaked, she instantly held her breath. 'Please, Theo, come faster.'
She had managed to send an emergency message to him earlier, but after that, she put her phone on silent, not even on vibrate.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk…"
Her grip tightened on the edge of her clothes. The moment she heard the man click his tongue, she felt she could guess exactly who it was.
And then, he appeared.
The man came into view and stood right beside the bathtub.
"You know…" George crouched down next to her hiding spot. "I'm really not a fan of playing hide and seek…"
Daisy's lips trembled or maybe it was her jaw going numb from the sheer fear gripping her.
"Or…" His smile widened. "should I play along?"
