Chapter 119: An Unfortunate Incident
Rory’s heart started to pound as she stood by the office door. She has lived in this house for a long time but she has never stepped inside her grandmother’s office. She would go inside her grandfather’s office all the time. He never minded.
But Mrs. Delport would always stop her from entering that room.
As she was reminded of that faithful assistant of her grandmother, Rory ran to Mrs. Delport’s room. The door was slightly ajar and she was sleeping.
Rory stepped inside the room. She always imagined that red danger lights would blink along with blaring loud sirens if she steps inside her grandmother’s room.
Or there could even be booby traps!
She placed each step carefully like a cat, fearing she might trigger something. And she safely reached the table. There was nothing on the table except for some photo frames. Her grandmother did not have a computer at home as far as Rory remembered.
As she expected, the only drawer in the table was locked.
After being in the room for some minutes without any incident, Rory got a bit more brave. She sat in that old leather chair and sat comfortably with her arms resting on the arm rest.
Where would grandma keep the key?
She looked around. She didn’t think that her grandma would have taken the key with her. Her grandfather always said that she leaves her work at her office. He’d joke that his wife becomes an entirely different person once she enters that room.
So her grandma should keep the keys inside the room.
Her eyes ended up on the pictures in the frames. One was that of her grandfather when he was almost Liam’s age.
