Dear Diary,

I registered it as Mr. Bloomberg's voice! With only a split second to think, I pretended to be sleepwalking.

"Mia, is that you? I wanted to take a bath, but I am too tired. Let's go back to sleep," I said, mustering my best sleepwalking act. I couldn't tell if he bought it, given his ice-cold expression, but he called some maids to take me back to bed.

As the maids led me away, I couldn't help but feel a surge of adrenaline. I had narrowly avoided suspicion, but the encounter with Mr. Bloomberg made me realize the gravity of the situation. There were secrets hidden within this mansion, and I needed to uncover them without getting caught.

Once back in Mia's bedroom, I lay still on the bed, waiting for the maids to leave. The room was enveloped in silence, and my mind raced with thoughts of the yellow button hidden beneath the bathtub. There had to be something significant about it, something that Mr. Bloomberg wanted to keep hidden.

As soon as I was certain the coast was clear, I quietly slipped out of the room and made my way back to the master bedroom. The encounter with Mr. Bloomberg had heightened my sense of urgency. I needed to press that button and discover what secrets it held.

Upon reaching the master bedroom, I closed the door behind me and made my way to the bathtub. I knelt down, my heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and fear. Carefully, I pressed the small, yellow button.

Instantly, the room came alive with hidden mechanisms. The floor beneath me began to descend, revealing a hidden chamber. The walls of the chamber were lined with shelves, holding countless files and documents. It was a secret archive, and I had stumbled upon it.

I quickly started scanning through the documents, my eyes darting across the pages. There were reports, blueprints, and encrypted messages. It was clear that Mr. Bloomberg was involved in something far more complex than I had imagined. The project AIDEN was just the tip of the iceberg.

As I delved deeper into the files, a name kept recurring—Project Seraphim. It seemed to be a highly classified operation, shrouded in secrecy. The details were scarce, but it was clear that it held immense significance.

I carefully selected a few documents, tucking them into my bag. These would be crucial evidence, revealing the truth behind Mr. Bloomberg's intentions and the extent of Mia's involvement. I had to make sure Tracy and I had solid proof before confronting anyone. Although we are meant to be partners Tracy and I have a rivals so there is no way we are working together.

Leaving the secret chamber, I closed the entrance behind me, ensuring it remained hidden from prying eyes but just before I left I made sure to put cameras around the room. It was a risky move, but I knew it was necessary to protect the truth and myself.
