Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1040

About a week later, it suddenly poured down one afternoon, so the crew wrapped up early. When Estelle got home, it was just about three in the afternoon.

She hung out downstairs with Kya for a while. When Emily got home, they prepared and had dinner together. It wasn't until it was completely dark that Estelle went upstairs.

Once upstairs, she received a sudden text from Craig, "Estelle, can you come to Blue Oasis?"

Estelle replied, "What's up?"

It was a while before Craig texted back, "There's a new actor in the crew. Come meet him. The directors will be there too."

He quickly followed up with the room number.

Estelle glanced at the time and replied, "I'll be there in half an hour."

Craig, "Cool, I'll be waiting for you."

Estelle left with her bag and without changing her clothes, still in her daytime shirt and jeans.

At nine o'clock at night, Estelle arrived at the Blue Oasis. Following Craig's room number, she went to the eighth floor.

As she opened the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit her. The room was dimly lit with flickering lights, and it took a moment for Estelle's eyes to adjust before she entered.

The room was not crowded, just five people, some singing, some joking with the waitress, all familiar faces to Estelle.

She scanned the room and didn't spot Craig, but she did see Mr. Kress.

He was holding a hostess, talking to her face-to-face. The woman gestured towards Estelle, and Mr. Kress saw her, his expression changed instantly, and he instinctively pushed the woman away from him.

Gwen was speaking with Clarice, separated by two waitresses and Mr. Kress. Gwen was the first to stand up and greet her, "Estelle!"

Estelle's expression was calm, "Where's Craig?"
