"Ensure you do not enter the room and tighten the door. Did you understand what I asked you to do?"
Layla asked the guard she had hired, but she could tell she had lost his attention quite a while back.
Layla coughed to ensure she had the man's attention again, and the guard turned toward her with a flinch.
"Did you get all that I asked you for? If so, then I should take my leave now. Make sure you keep things under control here."
Layla spoke before she left. She did not give the guard she had appointed a single glance more than she needed to.
The guard was not offended. If anything, he was delighted to be left alone with his would-be treasure. He was waiting for Layla to go as well before he needed to make a move.
"Ha, that girl is a fool! She did not ask me to sign a contract but left me alone with her treasure. A curse? I am not afraid of any curses."
The guard assured himself before he forced the door open. He walked inside, only for the room to be empty.
