“Are you blind? Look at the crowd. Why the rush?” A woman's voice piped up
behind Humphrey, her annoyance evident.
“Fancy attire, but lacking in manners,” the woman added with disdain, her
comment trailing after Humphrey.
Millie pivoted, catching sight of Humphrey closing in swiftly. The anger ablaze in
his eyes set off alarm bells within her, a foreboding sensation taking root.
The intensity in his gaze was a telltale sign that they had Likely deciphered her
true intent behind selling her work.
Clutching the recorder pen hidden within her bag, Millie wasted no time, her swift
retreat a calculated response.
“Excuse me, please.”
Nancy caught up to Humphrey, positioning herself by his side.
“She’s fleeing. You were right. It's a trap. She's undoubtedly making off with the
recorder pen,” Nancy confirmed urgently.
Humphrey increased his pace, determination driving him to pursue Millie
relentlessly. Retrieving the recorder from her was now his unequivocal goal.

Millie extended her hand in a bid to hail a taxi, yet the rush hour chaos thwarted
her efforts, leaving her without a ride.
As Humphrey's presence loomed ever nearer, Millie abandoned her pursuit of a
taxi. Fueled by desperation, she sprinted with all her might, her heart racing
within her chest.
Evading Humphrey's grasp became Millie's singular objective.
However, the inherent physical strength advantage of men over women was a
stark reality. Despite her efforts to lose him through a series of turns, Millie still
detected Humphrey's proximity.
The glow of the streetlamp illuminated Millie’s form, her breath ragged as
exhaustion threatened to overtake her.
In a desperate move, Millie had retrieved her phone, intending to call for help.
However, her plan was thwarted when a passerby accidentally knocked her
phone from her grasp. With Humphrey closing in, retrieving the phone wasn’t an
option.
Reaching the entrance of an alley, Millie leaned against the wall, attempting to
catch her breath and gather her wits.
“Millie, surrender the recorder pen. There's no escape,” a commanding voice
echoed from behind Millie.
Millie pivoted, her gaze landing on the man standing a mere ten meters away
from her.
