Upon hearing this, the individual on the floor wriggled in an attempt to move, and his whimpering grew louder as if he had something to say!


    “Mmmph… Mmm…!! Mmm… !


    Hannah stepped closer and eased the handkerchief from his mouth.


    Before she could interrogate him, the man burst out, “I have no intention of harming you!! Really!”


    Hannah peered down at the man and remarked, “You must be an employee of the hotel, considering you swiped the room key in the middle of the night.


    ”


    Hannah crouched down to perform a brief search, and she discovered a pair of handcuffs and a bottle of knockout drops from him.


    She rattled the bottle and fixed a chilly gaze on the man.


    “Do youprehend the gravity of breaking into someone’s room with controlled substances?”


    The man’splexion swiftly drained of color and shook his head.


    “I don’t have anything to do with it.


    Somebody offered me fifty thousand to knock you out and escort you to the exit!”


    Worried that Hannah might not trust him, he emphasized, “I would never dare to take a life! I really wouldn’t…”


    “You nned to drug and abduct me.


    What’s stopping you from worse?”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    The waiter’splexion turned ghostly, and he couldn’t find any words to say.


    Meanwhile, Yosef entered from outside.


    “Boss, we didn’t find anyone in the exit corridor.


    They seem pretty clever and covered their tracks well.


    ”


    Bryson nodded toward Yosef, indicating, “Escort him out and deliver him to the police station.


    You’re aware of the procedure.


    ”


    “Understood, boss.


    ”


    Once Yosef had pulled the man away, the room fell into an eerie silence.


    Bryson lounged on the sofa, while Hannah kept her distance, seated at her desk.


    “Why are you at this hotel?” Hannah questioned him.


    Bryson slipped his hand into his pocket and retrieved a room key card.


    Squinting yfully at Hannah, he grinned and remarked, “I must have forgotten to mention that I’m staying next door to you.


    ”


    Hannah’s feelings were a whirlwind.


    Inhaling deeply, Hannah stood and extended her hand toward the door.


    “I’d Like you to leave my room, please!”
