章節 181: Stuck in one room

My knocks grew into pounding as panic swelled up in my chest. But no matter what I did, the door wouldn't open up. It was as if ten people were holding it from the outside.

I glared back. "Hugo Tempest!" my voice thundered while Hugo was leisurely drinking his wine, sitting comfortably in the armchair.

"What?" he tilted his head to the side, feigning ignorant at this situation. 

"What is the meaning of this?" I asked angrily, but he shrugged indifferently.

"It is what it is, Rinnie. You're stuck with me." 

I stormed towards him, huffing and puffing with my hands clenched in my rear. "I need to leave."

"Then... leave."

"How — hah!" I was at a loss for words, staring at him in disbelief. "You... are holding me captive?"

"No, Rinnie. We're both hostages here!"
