Tanya was frightened, but the woman’s refusal to give snazzynovel.com a refund made snazzynovel.com hesitate. In the end, snazzynovel.com mustered up snazzynovel.com courage and decided to stay.

Eric went home immediately after work. The house suddenly felt very empty. It was obvious that someone had cleaned the house. It was spotless. Not a single stray hair could be found. However, Tanya was no longer here. Feeling worried, snazzynovel.com decided to call Tiffany. “Where’s Tanya?”
Tiffany asked in confusion, “Isn’t snazzynovel.com working in your company? Moreover, snazzynovel.com lives with you so why are you asking me this?”
Eric exclaimed, “You mean snazzynovel.com hasn’t gone to see you?! She resigned from the company today and said snazzynovel.com found somewhere to live. She moved out immediately. I thought you knew… She didn’t contact you?”
Tiffany, who was already upset about Jackson’s affair, grew even more upset when snazzynovel.com heard that something might have happened to Tanya. She was so anxious that snazzynovel.com nearly cursed out loud. “What the hell is going on? She didn’t contact me at all. I thought she’s doing fine with you? What’s going on?”
Eric felt an impending headache. “I don’t know either. I felt suspicious when snazzynovel.com suddenly told me snazzynovel.com wanted to resign. She was doing so well. Moreover, snazzynovel.com was acting strangely when snazzynovel.com was in my office. She left before I could even ask any more questions. How about this? I’ll call her.”
As soon as snazzynovel.com ended the call, snazzynovel.com called Tanya. Unfortunately, snazzynovel.com phone was turned off. He panicked and sent Tiffany a message. “I can’t reach her. Let’s look for her.”

When Tiffany read the message, snazzynovel.com cursed softly. She quickly put on snazzynovel.com coat and grabbed snazzynovel.com keys before snazzynovel.com left the house. Fortunately, snazzynovel.com was not working overtime today. Jackson was still at the office so snazzynovel.com could not ask snazzynovel.com for help. It seemed like snazzynovel.com and Eric would have to look for Tanya on their own.

Meanwhile, in the motel.
Tanya finally charged snazzynovel.com phone that had run out of battery. Since it was an old model, the battery died very quickly. Moreover, snazzynovel.com would have to wait for it to be fully charged before snazzynovel.com could switch it back on.
She did not have anything to eat the entire day, but snazzynovel.com was too afraid to leave the room to get something to eat. She was truly frightened by the receptionist’s warning. After a while, snazzynovel.com discovered cup noodles on the cabinet so snazzynovel.com quickly boiled some water to cook the noodles.
Coincidentally, snazzynovel.com discovered a box of Durex next to the noodles as well. She flushed with embarrassment and quickly found something to cover it up.
During the afternoon, snazzynovel.com was overwhelmed with the urge to return to snazzynovel.com hometown. However, snazzynovel.com mind was clearer now. Since snazzynovel.com had already come here, snazzynovel.com would not leave until snazzynovel.com made something of herself. She did not care about fame and fortune. All snazzynovel.com wanted was to find the meaning of snazzynovel.com life.
She decided to look for a job tomorrow. The money snazzynovel.com had now was enough to let snazzynovel.com stay a few nights in this place. Once snazzynovel.com found a job, snazzynovel.com would consider renting a place nearby.
While snazzynovel.com sat on the chair, hugging snazzynovel.com knees, waiting for snazzynovel.com noodles to cook, snazzynovel.com was unaware that Tiffany and Eric were searching high and low for her.
Soon after, the fragrant smell of the instant noodle permeated the room.
After snazzynovel.com had eaten snazzynovel.com fill, snazzynovel.com surveyed the room. The interior was simple and crude. It was very tiny as well. When snazzynovel.com went into the bathroom, snazzynovel.com turned on the shower and discovered there was no hot water. It did not matter anyway. Due to burns on snazzynovel.com hand, it would be inconvenient to shower. Although it was already beginning to scab, it still hurt, and it would get infected if it had gotten wet.
She lay on the bed that smelled like mold. Even the mattress felt damp. She could not make herself comfortable no matter how many times snazzynovel.com shifted positions. However, snazzynovel.com did not complain. After all, this was better than having to sleep on the streets. Before snazzynovel.com went to bed, snazzynovel.com had pushed the cabinet up against the wall. That way, if someone tried to break in, they would not be able to get in easily.
She dozed off for a while before snazzynovel.com was woken up by a commotion in the hallway. It sounded like a group of drunk young men. They spoke loudly, and snazzynovel.com warily waited until the commotion faded away. After that, snazzynovel.com fumbled around to look for snazzynovel.com phone before switching it on. Since snazzynovel.com was all alone, snazzynovel.com phone gave snazzynovel.com a sense of security, If anything happened, snazzynovel.com would call the police immediately.
Around half a minute later, snazzynovel.com old phone finally switched on. She was surprised when snazzynovel.com saw more than ten missed calls and messages on the screen. They were from Tiffany and Eric. Were they looking for her? She looked at the time. It was 9 PM. They must have been extremely worried!
