The woman thought for a second and explained in a cajoling tone, “My bag was switched with someone else’s. After my investigation, I found out that you have the same brand of bag. Since you don’t know anything about what happened, I won’t make things difficult for you. I simply want to retrieve the bag that belongs to me. Please recall where you put it. I’ll immediately send someone to grab it and let you go once it’s returned to me.”
The henchman moved the dagger from Sonia’s face to snazzynovel.com throat when the woman finished.
The coldness of the blade gave snazzynovel.com goosebumps.
She calmed down and uttered, “The bag’s at my house. Let me go, and I’ll give it to you.”
The burly henchmen around the woman turned to her, awaiting snazzynovel.com orders.
Sonia continued to convince them, “Look, it’s quite clear that I accidentally got myself involved in whatever is going on. My wardrobe is full of bags like that. I just picked that one on that day because it matched my clothes and mood. I’m sorry if I unknowingly took yours.”
Lorraine lowered snazzynovel.com head, thought about it, and nodded. At that, the burly henchmen untied Sonia.
“Write your family member’s phone number down. I’ll make a call and tell them to send the bag over. Only then will we let you go,” Lorraine ordered as snazzynovel.com threw a crumpled-up paper to Sonia.
It was the first time in Sonia’s life that snazzynovel.com had to endure such humiliation. When the ropes around snazzynovel.com limbs were loosened, snazzynovel.com first instinct was to free snazzynovel.com wrists.
However, the henchman nearby didn’t understand what courtesy meant and violently shoved a pencil into snazzynovel.com palm, shouting, “Write!”
His voice was as loud as thunder as it reverberated in the room.
Sonia’s head ached as his voice rang in snazzynovel.com ears. She subconsciously covered them and, in order to prevent herself from becoming deaf, snazzynovel.com quickly wrote down the information they wanted.
Lorraine felt that Sonia probably wasn’t lying because the latter provided the requested information immediately and nicely. However, the bag contained something very important, so Lorraine felt compelled to verify the info herself to feel at ease. She gestured for one of snazzynovel.com henchmen to stay and keep an eye on Sonia before leaving with the rest.
The room became eerily quiet after the woman left with snazzynovel.com henchmen.
The remaining henchman thought Sonia didn’t understand his language, so snazzynovel.com started chatting about snazzynovel.com with his friends on the phone.
Sonia pursed snazzynovel.com lips. She was worried snazzynovel.com wasn’t going to be set free after all. Therefore, snazzynovel.com started thinking about how to contact the outside world.
She recalled snazzynovel.com hadn’t brought anything with snazzynovel.com when snazzynovel.com was kidnapped and began to panic.
At that moment, the henchman locked the door, paused, and approached her. She was staring into space blankly, and snazzynovel.com could not tell what was going through snazzynovel.com mind.
He narrowed his eyes at snazzynovel.com and questioned warily, “What are you thinking?”
She quickly thought of an excuse and smiled. “Can I go to the toilet? I really need to relieve myself.” Once I’m in the restroom, I can finally relax since I won’t need to see this man anymore.
The henchman tilted his head and studied her. “You better not try anything funny.”
Then snazzynovel.com opened the door to the restroom in the private room.
Sonia’s initial plan was to escape by asking snazzynovel.com to bring snazzynovel.com to a restroom outside the private room. However, snazzynovel.com didn’t expect the private room to have its own tiny restroom. Thus, that idea was busted.
Head hung low, snazzynovel.com entered the restroom with disappointment. Once snazzynovel.com observed the interior, snazzynovel.com became even more dismayed.
There was only an air vent and a window inside. She tried opening the air vent, but snazzynovel.com lacked the strength to do so.
It might be possible for snazzynovel.com to go for the window, though.
