Everything suddenly got out of hand.
A loud explosive sound, which was able to penetrate Hailee's palms that were clenched tightly to protect her sensitive ears was the end result of her impulsive experiment. The tremors after the explosion, rendered Hailee's legs unable to support her body, as a result she fell to her knees with her body against the wall.
Luckily the white curtain covering her figure was able to hide Hailee from the three men who rushed into the room.
The entire room was engulfed with the ever rising plumes of thick smoke. And, with the deafening sound of the fire alarm, their focus could be confirmed only on Roland Dimatrio, their boss.
They might even forget that there must be one additional person in the room and couldn't care less if she was injured or even died, when they were greeted with a stiffening sight like what Roland Dimatrio is experiencing right now.
"Mr. Roland !!! " Alex exclaimed, thrusting into the room followed by the other two.
The commotion in this room got tangled with the crowd's nuisance that was starting to form outside. The whole corridor was filled with shocked gasps and enquiries of people asking one another what exactly was going on.
"Mr. Roland! " Alex shouted again, calling the name of the old man. "Oh, shit!"
Hearing Alex's loud cursing voice, indicated that the bodyguard has found Roland Dimatrio's body, and it also meant that it was a sign for Hailee to run away.
Still in shock at the explosion she had created, Hailee opened her eyes widely. Those beautiful brown eyes were filled with determination as she used the wall behind her to help herself up.
The first thing she noticed was; the hotel room door was wide open, as if calling her to come closer. Of course, that was what Hailee did.
Before the hotel clerk or security could see this incident, Hailee immediately ran through the door, broke through the crowd of people who were huddling in the corridor and immediately fled using the emergency stairs, where there were already several people using them to save their own lives, thinking whether the sound of the explosion was a bomb.
Hailee had heard several people there muttering that particular idea while running down the fire escape stairs.
Luckily, the room Roland had rented was located on the third floor, so Hailee didn't have to go down many steps and could reach the lobby immediately.
With the clothes she was wearing, of course Hailee got a lot of attention from the eyes who looked at her questioningly and in confusion.
How could a woman only wear a jacket that is too big to cover her whole body. They could clearly notice; under that large jacket, was a smooth body that she should have kept from all the male's predatory gaze was now naked.
They didn't know that what Hailee was facing right now, was far more terrifying than just exposing her flawless skin, therefore, even their penetrating gazes couldn't bother the cute girl to care any less.
She kept running until she crossed the hotel lobby and out of the building, hailed a taxi and went straight in with a gasp.
"Where?" the taxi driver can only gawk at Hailee's disheveled appearance and pale face.
"District 18,"Hailee said hastily.
City T is a city that includes districts 1 to 12 districts, where district 18 is part of City R.
"District 18?" the taxi driver didn't immediately start the car, but instead looked at Hailee in disbelief, the problem was mainly the distance between District 4 and District 18; is quite far, in normal time, the journey could easily take up to five hours. And, with Hailee's appearance like this, the driver was not sure the passenger could afford the required meter.
On the other hand, Hailee understood the look in the driver's eyes, then irritably reached into her jacket pocket and threw a lump of money into the front seat. "Keep the change!" Hailee said harshly and loudly.
