Chapter 504
Pulling open the curtains, the sunshine from outside rushed in eagerly, illuminating the room brightly.
This bright and beautiful morning is really… unusually quiet.
Quiet p>
From the moment she got up, Scarlett Yates felt that something seemed a bit off, but after seeing Matthew Saxon’s text message, she shifted her focus to replying to it.
Now that she’d finished replying, that strange feeling resurfaced.
Right, isn’t it a bit too quiet for this morning?
Comparing it to the first few days she moved in, it’s almost abnormally quiet.
By this time, her roommates should all be up, some washing their faces, others brushing their teeth, chatting away. Normally, there should be some noise outside.
But today is especially quiet, so quiet that it feels like there’s no one in the room except her.
With a head full of doubts, Scarlett Yates jumped out of bed and walked out of the bedroom.
The living room was empty.
The bathroom was also empty.
The doors to all the other rooms were tightly closed.
Hmm, strange thing, could it be that they all haven’t gotten up yet today? All decided to sleep in?
Scarlett Yates went to bed early last night because she was so exhausted, slept quite soundly, and couldn’t be woken up even by thunder, so she doesn’t know when her roommates actually came home.
Matthew, that guy, just mentioned he had arranged for them to work overtime at the hospital but didn’t tell her how long the overtime would last.
Now it seems, that overtime wouldn’t have been short.
Thinking about how Matthew was making others pay for his personal gain by working overtime, Scarlett felt a bit uneasy in her heart.
Never again should she let him misuse his authority like that. Once might be tolerated, but if it happens every time, she’d be hated to the bone.
Scarlett, just waking up, was still a little muddled, her brain not completely clear, so after checking things out, she concluded the others were still asleep. After a moment of guilt, she didn’t think further and tiptoed to the bathroom to freshen up.
Actually, if she had been more attentive, she could have noticed some subtle changes.
For instance, the cartoon cushions originally placed on the sofa had disappeared, along with the large vase on the coffee table, and even some decorations on the TV cabinet p>
These were all things the girls living together had bought themselves.
After a month, she finally returned to work at the hospital, feeling a bit uneasy, just like the first-time orientation there.
Previously, it was a feeling of tension, uncertainty, and excited anticipation from the new environment.
This time, however, it’s complete anxiety and unease.
She wondered if, through Emmy Thompson’s spreading, she’d become a malicious woman, abusing power, being ruthless and harsh with colleagues.
After tidying up everything, Scarlett Yates took the elevator downstairs. She lived on the ninth floor, and the elevator stopped on the eighth.
When the elevator doors opened, Scarlett Yates froze, almost dropping the bag in her hand, watching with wide-eyed shock at the few women standing outside the elevator.
“You She had an expression as if she’d seen a ghost, pointed at the few who were entering one after another, her stunned eyes wide open, “Weren’t you sleeping? How can you be p>
This was just like a supernatural event.
Roommates who should still be asleep on the ninth floor, suddenly appearing on the eighth.
