+15 BONUS

The timing was uncanny as Johnson slowly entered. Immediately after, he exclaimed, “Where is everyone?! Where the hell did they-”

Before he could finish, he became wide–eyed and froze when he saw me sitting on the couch. I smiled and tipped my head at him. “Mr. Hyger.”

It took him a while to close his mouth, and he stammered, “M–Mrs. Murphy!”

“Are you surprised to see me?” I continued smiling at him. “Come and sit down. Don’t worry. I’ve already sent the workers away.”

Johnson’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he clenched his fists. “Y–Yes, it’s good that you like it.”
