Chapter 24: What Was That Sound?

'What was that sound?... Where did that sound come from?...'

Darting her gaze to scrutinize Goldie, pressed nervously against the cubicle door, Jasmine was almost sure the sudden vibrating sound came from Goldie just now…

'Something feels off…'

"Ah… ha-ha"

Goldie chuckles nervously again, brandishing a wide, uncomfortable smile as she breaks out in a nervous sweat under Jasmine's scrutinising gaze.

She could see the suspicion in Jasmine's gaze…

She could not hide the fact that the vibrating sound just now seemed to come from behind her, either.

'What to do… what to do…'

Goldie panics, her heart wildly palpitating as she searches around cluelessly for a random excuse; her quick eyes, wandering about until…

'Aha!'

She spots her backpack beside her and just then, she is hit with a brilliant idea!

'Phone!... That's right! Phones vibrate! 

I could say the sound was from my phone!… and my phone is right here…'
