The maid there frowned upon seeing Sophie, asking, "Ms. Sophie, why are you out here? The boss ordered that you can't leave tonight if you don't finish cleaning up." "I was just too scared being down there alone. Have you seen Jonah? He was just downstairs, and then when I turned around, he vanished." When Sophie mentioned Jonah, the maid then said, "I think I saw Jonah cup a while ago. He should be going back down soon. Ms. Sophie, if you're scared, I can help you clean."

He was all too familiar with the way Sophie looked when she lied. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, his grip tightening. "Hand it over!" "I'm not holding anything..." Sophie bit her lip, her face turning pale.
"Are you sure you are not holding anything? Then what's behind you?" Jonah's voice grew colder as he was about to force the issue, causing Sophie to drop what was in her hand.
