Although she received some questioning stares from some members of the staff, none of them thought much about her and minded their business to her relief. Right now, Mimi was in the hallway with several rooms on both sides.

God, she didn’t like this. Mimi knew that she was not smart enough for this one. How was she going to figure out which of the rooms Arianna was in, not to mention that there was the upstairs? Why do rich people have so many rooms?!

Well, she would do this the old-fashioned way then. If she perishes – she would rather not – then so be it and if she lives, praise be to God. Having made up her mind, Mimi hardened her heart and tried the first knob.

To her relief, it was locked and she wouldn’t need to find out what would have happened otherwise. She tried the second door and it was the same thing. The same goes for the third and fourth doors to her greatest relief. But then she shouldn’t be happy because she hadn’t found Arianna.

Mimi must have gotten overconfident because the fifth door opened and she paused immediately. What was she going to find this time? With a leap of faith, Mimi pushed the door further in and she saw nothing. Perhaps, was everyone away, or was God protecting her again as he did earlier?

Thanks to her overconfidence, Mimi didn’t hesitate when opening the next door only to see two men making out and she froze. Uh oh. She was doomed.

As if sensing that their privacy had been infringed upon, both men broke apart immediately and stared at Mimi. Mimi stared back and it was as if they had this staring competition until she said cautiously with her hands raised.

“Please continue with what you both were doing. Forget that I was ever here.” And with that being said, Mimi shut the door immediately and took off.

.....

Damn it! She has been found out.

She was going to die!

And to prove her point, Mimi heard the door opening behind her and one of them shouted after her,

“Hey, stop right there,”

No, no, not happening, Mimi shook her head stubbornly and increased her pace. She refused to die here and in this manner.

“Arianna! Arianna! Come out whenever you are! I’m here now!” Mimi yelled out her name in case Arianna hears it and comes to her rescue. She was not stupid enough to think that she could outrun the men chasing after her. Only her best friend could save her life now.

“Arianna?!” Mimi shouted at the top of her lungs while running. She was creating a scene and had just turned a corner when she bumped into someone.

“Arianna...” Mimi trailed off when she saw the familiar face only to realize that it wasn’t her. Oh, it was her mother.

“Hi, Arianna’s mother, I’m your daughter’s best friend and I’m here to rescue her butt,” Mimi contemplated introducing herself, but she broke into a sprint instead, or at least, she tried to.

Honestly, Mimi could not narrate what happened, except the fact that she tried to run past Arianna’s mother – and get to God knows where – the woman reached out and grabbed her in the arm. The next Mimi could vividly tell, her back was on the floor with the breath knocked out of her lungs.

Arianna never told her that her mother knew Karate for crying out loud.

Mimi could not even move because the woman pinned her to the ground with her heel that was dangerously close to her neck.

“Who are you and how do you know my daughter, Arianna?” She asked with a cold, ferocious look like a mother hen intent on protecting her chick from the eagle.

Mimi swallowed, no wonder Arianna was unable to escape here. She had a badass mother who knew karate. Unable to speak with the heel pointed at her neck, Mimi had no choice but to gesture to her unfortunate position.

“Don’t you think of doing anything stupid because they would blast your head clean with a bullet faster than you can escape.” Natalie gestured to both guards from earlier who looked composed now with their weapons in hand.

Natalie let go of her cautiously and the harmless Mimi slowly rose to her feet. She groaned on her way up when her waist cracked. She was a pregnant woman, you know that!

“Now tell me,” Natalie narrowed her at her, “Who are you and how did you get in here? How did you bypass my security? How do you know my daughter? Who are you?”

“Geez, one question at a time, woman,” Mimi muttered under her breath and Natalie heard it because her expression changed. She was about to say something when someone said from behind, “Mimi?”

“You know her?” Natalie was confused.

Mimi turned around only to see the slightly unfamiliar face. Although there were a few hints here and there, Mimi couldn’t exactly place where she had seen him.

She pointed to her chest, “You know me?”

“Yes,” He stepped forward, scratching the back of his head, “How can I not know you? You’re Arianna’s best friend and... I’m Elijah.”

No wonder, he looked familiar. Mimi had only seen his face once but as Aziz, not Elijah. It took a while for Mimi to respond, but when she did, she cupped her mouth and screamed excitedly.

“Oh my God, you are the famous Elijah. Do you know how much I’ve heard about you?! You’re literally like a celebrity right now. Gosh, I need a hug from you.”

That was not the response Elijah was expecting, he thought she would be hostile towards him like the others for what he did. Hence, he welcomed her into his arms like she wanted, albeit awkwardly.

But that friendliness didn’t last because he received a blow right on his stomach and it was from the friendly Mimi.
