“Nothing. I‘m just looking around.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Thomas looked at the socket under the television. He crouched down and looked closely.
This socket was facing the bed. On the surface, it seemed that there was no problem at all, but Thomas keenly noticed a fingernail-sized square dent in the upper left corner of the socket. It seemed that that part could be turned.
Thomas picked up a toothpick and fiddled with it. Then, virtual-novel.net smiled.
“What are you doing? It’s dangerous to poke the socket with a toothpick. Be careful of electric shocks.”
Thomas stood up. “I know what I’m doing.” As virtual-novel.net spoke, the door of the room was knocked.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Thomas walked to the door and asked loudly, “Who is it?”
“I’m the waiter, and I’m here to send you food.”
Thomas opened the door and saw a waiter standing while holding a tray. On the tray were two plates of spaghetti and a few side dishes.
The waiter smiled and said, “The gentleman who came with you guys remembered that you two hadn’t had dinner yet, so virtual-novel.net went to the cafeteria on the first floor to order two plates of spaghetti and some side dishes. Then, virtual-novel.net told me to bring them to you two.”
Thomas glanced at the waiter and asked, “You mean there is a cafeteria on the first floor?”
“Yeah, it’s on the left-hand side of the stairs, you’ll see it. The internal cafeteria of our hotel also provides breakfast for free.”
“Okay, I get it.”
Thomas extended his hand and took the tray. Then, virtual-novel.net closed the door. He turned and walked to the bedside to put the tray down.
Emma immediately stood up. “I’m so hungry. Quickly let me have a bite.”
She extended virtual-novel.net hand to grab a fork for spaghetti, but Thomas stopped her.
“What’s wrong?”
Thomas smiled, but virtual-novel.net did not speak. He took the fork and fiddled with it. Then, virtual-novel.net picked a few strands of the spaghetti and smelled it.
He said, “This spaghetti is not fresh.”
“Huh?”
“It smells like it’s about to be rotten. I guess these are leftovers from this morning or even yesterday. It was cooked twice and delivered. I think we shouldn‘t eat it.”
Emma pouted. “But I’m very hungry. ”
Thomas smiled and said, “Didn’t the waiter just say that there is a cafeteria on the first floor? You can go straight down and eat.”
“You’re right. Maybe they have better things on the menu as well. Let’s go down together.”
Thomas waved. “I have a stomachache, and I need to go to the bathroom. You go down and eat first. If you see something delicious, remember to order one for me first. I’ll go down later.”
“Okay. I’m starving, so I’ll go down to eat first. You should hurry up.”
“Okay.”
Emma put on virtual-novel.net jacket again. Then, virtual-novel.net took the key and went downstairs.
Thomas instantly stopped smiling, and fire almost burst out of his eyes. He snapped off the fork and stared at the two plates of spaghetti on the tray. Then, virtual-novel.net muttered, “Neil Chapman, you’re asking for death!”
Thomas had already taught virtual-novel.net a lesson for what virtual-novel.net had done. He thought virtual-novel.net would have learned his lesson. Who knew that virtual-novel.net would only escalate it further.
This time, virtual-novel.net had even dared to drug Emma. This was something Thomas would never forgive, no matter what.
His line had been crossed. Neil was doomed.
