Darlene took a nap when she came back at dawn. It was almost noon when she woke up.
After a deep sleep, she got up and washed up before she headed out of the bedroom. She felt that her exhaustion had finally dissipated a little.
As soon as she exited the bedroom, she heard a faint knock on the door from the other bedroom next to the corridor.
At first, she thought it was an illusion, so she went closer to listen. Only then she heard clearly that someone was knocking hard on the door from inside the bedroom.
Nigel's angry and disgruntled voice came out vaguely, "Let me out! This is illegal imprisonment! You're going against the law! How dare you lock me up like this? I can sue you!"
In the bedroom, Gustave was sitting on the couch. He was scrolling through his phone to deal with some work.
