"How long have you been here?" The unknown girl was the first to snap out of her daze and asked in an indifferent voice. She tried to appear calm and collected, while on the inside she was none of those things.
Without even waiting for Noah to reply, she looked around the room and noticed an open window behind her from the corner of her eye. Without needing to think twice, she pushed her feet off the ground and threw herself towards the open window.
Clasp!
As her body reached the window, it closed shut on its own before she could pass through it, causing her to collide with the wooden frame.
"Now, now, no need to attract the attention of the people outside and make a scene." Noah stepped forward with a smile that said he had already seen through her plans, making the woman scowl in pain.
