"What are you doing?" Emily Thomas curiously asked me, who was sitting quietly with my eyes closed.
I could hear the slightest sounds around us, including... the 'grumble' from Emily's stomach due to hunger.
I turned my head and looked at Emily with a strange expression.
Emily was surprised by Tobby's sudden look and immediately turned her head to check the elevator's ascending floor numbers.
I gently tugged Emily's hand and said, "Go hide over there." I pointed to a gap in the corridor.
Emily found it strange but, since Tobby was responsible for her, she did as he said and hid there.
As the elevator was about to arrive, I quickly turned my back and pretended to grab the keys to lock the door at my room entrance. As soon as the elevator opened, three reporters with cameras walked out, glancing around, and saw only me with my back to them, seemingly just exiting my room.
They didn't see Emily hiding in the corner behind them.
