Chapter 775 Ray Came (1/2)

Not long after Tyron left, Emily picked up her design board again to continue drawing. However, judging by the amount of crumpled paper balls strewn all over the floor, it was clear that something was bothering Emily, as she failed at every attempt to come up with an idea that did not make her want to tear her hair out.

”This is pointless. I'd better give up drawing today,”

Emily sighed, looking at the paper and the work it contained, shaking her head in disapproval. If satisfaction was what she was hoping to get, she wasn't going to get it here.

Suddenly, the sound of the doorknob twisting open relieved her disappointment and shifted her attention towards the door.

Didn't Tyron leave just minutes ago? Did he come back again? Emily's focus was momentarily scattered, filled with nervous anticipation.

A man dressed in black barged in abruptly without sound or word. His head was covered by a peaked cap and his face hidden behind a black gas mask.

Emily's shoulders shook in fear the moment her eyes caught sight of the ominously garbed man. Stupefied, her voice trembled every time she uttered a word. ”Who are you? What do you want from me?”

While hoping to distract the intruder's attention with her talking, Emily slowly stretched out her hand to the knife on the desk next to her bed.

”Who do you think I am?”

Upon seeing the suspicion and constant vigilance in Emily's eyes, the man took his mask off to calm her nerves.

”Ray? ”

A shriek of excitement escaped Emily's mouth when she saw the familiar face of a young boy with an angelic face.

With a bemused frown between her eye-brows, she lowered her voice and said, ”Why did you dress up like this just to come here? I almost mistook you for a robber.”

Letting go of the knife's hilt, Emily breathed out, unaware of how long she had been holding her breath. Out of all the people in the world, Ray was the last person she expected to see there.
