I was stupefied for a moment and frowned. "Sebastian, what do you mean? Are you trying to imprison me?"
He shook his head and answered like a ruffian, "No, of course not. How can I possibly imprison you? I just want you to stay here for a few days. No one has lived in this villa since I renovated it. It's no longer live here, so I just wanted you to stay here and liven up the place."
As he said this, he reached out and pressed the bell by the chair. After a moment, someone came up. It was a middle-aged man. Sebastian looked at the man and said, "Hodge, I have to trouble you to look after my friends for the next few days."
After that, he got up and walked out.
I stopped him. "Sebastian, you're breaking the law. Let us go."
"We will discuss it when you find the box. I'm a little tired now. Hodge will bring you to your room. Don't worry too much. Just stay here, and I believe Hendrix will help you find the box."
I pursed my lips and glared at him, but he didn't look at me at all and left directly.
After he left, Hodge stared at me and gave me a
gentle smile. "Miss Reid, the room is on the fourth floor, you..."
"Take me to the third floor!" I uttered and then rushed out of the room. Sebastian's villa was so enormous that I needed to traverse a long distance just to get to another floor. Hodge was frowning and he was hesitant to bring me there.
I ordered again, "Take me there. Since Sebastian wants me to stay here, it's impossible for him to confine me in a room."
Hodge was slightly startled. He nodded in agreement.
