Chapter 7: A Voice In Her Mind
After finishing her lunch, Iris immediately headed upstairs to her bedroom. She needed to check her cell phone and computer, hoping to understand herself better.
However, before entering her bedroom, her attention was captivated by the scenery outside. Her gaze was drawn to the French window in the living area on the second floor.
"What a stunning view," she muttered, slowly walking towards the window and taking in the beautiful view.
The dense forest was cloaked in a pure white blanket of snow, extending as far as her eyes could see. Yet, amidst the beauty, she couldn’t shake off a sense of lurking danger that made her heart tremble slightly and her head throb.
"What’s happening to me?"
Iris pinched her glabella to numb the sudden pain. After a while, the pain gradually subsided.
When she opened her eyes again, Iris’s gaze fell upon the last customer she served from the cafe—the handsome yet pale man. She observed him and his two friends walking toward a black SUV parked behind the building.
"Who are you? Do you know me?" Iris tried to summon memories of the man, but her efforts yielded no results. She took a deep breath and stared at his back until he reached his car. However, a moment later, a sense of shock engulfed her.
"Damn it!" she swiftly moved to hide behind a wall when the man turned in her direction. "Did he see me?"
Her curiosity appears. However, she chooses to remain hidden.
Frozen with nervousness, Iris remained rooted, afraid that the man might still be watching her. She stood there, waiting anxiously.
