Sophie stood up, her departure unhindered. Everyone had just witnessed Odie defend Sophie''s honor by having Ms. Leticia removed, so no one dared to stop her.


    As Sophie made her way to the restroom, she looked around cautiously. Suddenly, a pair of hands emerged from the shadows, pulling her into a secluded hallway. Before Sophie could scream, a hand covered her mouth.


    Taken aback, Sophie recognized the man from the engagement party she''d attended. His face was hidden behind a silver mask, and his body was d in a sleek ck suit. "Stay still," the man''s voice was husky.


    Sophie noticed security passing by the hallway they were hidden in; had she not been pulled aside, they would have discovered her.


    "This isn''t the way to the restroom," Sophie frowned, asking, "Who are you?"All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "This ce isn''t for you. Go back to where you came from," the man''s voice was disguised, likely altered by a voice changer.


    Sophie nced at the hand gripping her arm, then swiftly pulled away, saying coolly, "We don''t know each other, do we?" "Yes, we do."


    "Then what does my business have to do with you? Why help me?"


    The man didn''t respond, instead turning to leave.


    Sophie quickly noticed a gold card in his hand and blocked his path, asking, "You have a gold card?"


    "This? Yes."


    "Are you a regr here?"


    "You could say that."


    "Could you take me upstairs? I''m curious."


    Sophie''s eyes pleaded with him. She couldn''t discern his expression behind the mask. However, his momentary silence gave her hope.


    "Why do you want to go up?"


    "I''m just curious."


    "Are you sure?"


    Sophie nodded eagerly.


    She couldn''t miss this chance to see the third floor.


    "Follow me."


    The man, cold as ever, led the way with Sophie closely behind. She asked, "Sir, what''s your name? How should I address you?"


    "You can call me Logan," he said, grabbing her wrist, a strangely familiar gesture.


    Sophie frowned, but Logan whispered, "You seem to be good at acting. You know what to do next."


    -"Okay."


    They reached the elevator, Sophie expertly linking arms with Logan. The people at the elevator didn''t recognize Sophie and let them pass without suspicion. Sophie''s heart raced as they entered the elevator. Logan, calm and collected, led her inside. As the elevator dinged, they arrived at the


    third floor.


    The third floor was dimly lit with a gloomy red light, reminiscent of the secret passage beneath the changing room earlier that day, casting an eerie atmosphere. Sophie''s breathing became rapid.


    What was the Minton family up to here?/


    "Sir, your room is 302, a waiter handed Logan a room card.


    Sophie frowned.
