She was aware that Vincent still harbored doubts about her. Another sighting of her with Alfy would only fuel his suspicions.
With a firm tone, Katelyn instructed, “Hide yourself and keep quiet!”
“Okay.”
A wide grin spread across Alfy’s face, almost as though she had been granted permission to stay. Katelyn gave her a look tinged with helplessness. After ensuring Alfy was well-concealed, Katelyn approached the door to open it.
Vincent and Jaxen were standing outside.
Jaxen’s eyes darted around the room, seemingly in search of something elusive.
“What brings you here?”
Katelyn pretended to look surprised.
Vincent responded in a calm tone, “I thought I heard screams from your room and came to check if everything was alright.”
Katelyn quickly made up an excuse.
“Are you sure? There were no screams here. Perhaps you’re just tired and hearing things.”
Jaxen rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “But that voice sounded so familiar. Could it have been Alfy’s?” No sooner had he spoken than he stepped forward into the room.
“For your safety, we need to check the area.”
Katelyn, taken aback, could only watch helplessly as the two men entered.
A wave of nervousness washed over her, hoping fervently that Alfy would remain hidden.

As Jaxen entered the room, he thoroughly searched around.
He was convinced he wasn’t mistaken; the voice he heard was definitely Alfy’s. Why would she visit Katelyn late at night and not even approach him in the adjacent room?
Vincent’s eyes briefly scanned Katelyn’s laptop, but the screen was dark, revealing nothing.
Katelyn slightly relaxed, but she kept a vigilant eye on Jaxen.
Their actions made it clear they were sure Alfy was there and were now searching for proof. The luxurious suite had plenty of potential hiding places, thanks to its spacious layout.
Still, Katelyn knew that if the search continued, Alfy’s hiding spot might eventually be discovered. She felt a mounting sense of anxiety.
What was her next move?
Even more troubling, she didn’t know where Alfy was hiding.
Jaxen moved towards the bed.
The room was designed as a single large space, combining living and sleeping areas.
From the sofa, one could easily see the bed.
Beneath the bed was a large space, perfect for hiding. Katelyn moved quickly, her smile forced and tense.
“Checking a woman’s bed is kind of rude, don’t you think?” Katelyn said.
Jaxen knew he was being intrusive, but he continued his search for Alfy.
“I’m not going to inspect your bed. I just need to look underneath it to see if someone is hiding there.”
“There’s no need for that,” Katelyn said almost forcibly. The awkward situation at the café had been a nightmare; another similar event would be difficult to justify. However, Jaxen had already crouched down to peer under the bed before she could stop him.
There was nobody there.
Katelyn allowed herself a brief moment of relief. She was confident that Alfy was too clever to hide in such an obvious spot.
Jaxen got up, scratching his head, puzzled.
Where could Alfy be hiding?
Katelyn looked over at Vincent nonchalantly but quickly became tense.
The wardrobe was freestanding and large enough to conceal an adult.
Her palms began to sweat with nervousness. She quickly positioned herself in front of Vincent.
“Why does it feel like you’re conducting a raid?” she questioned.
“You are under surveillance by the T Organization and could be in danger at any time. We must thoroughly assess all security risks,” Vincent responded in a calm tone.
The more agitated Katelyn appeared, the more suspicious the wardrobe seemed.
“There’s no reason to search this wardrobe,” Katelyn said, her lip quivering and her cheeks turning a deep red.
Under Vincent’s probing stare, she clenched her teeth and admitted, “Because inside are some of my underwear.”
Vincent seemed slightly embarrassed by her admission. “I’m sorry.”
Just as he was about to leave, easing Katelyn’s stress, a noise erupted from the wardrobe!
