She grabbed her phone and access security's home. Afterwards, her front door appeared on her phone. There was an old woman stood there alone.

Her brows wrinkled, she knew this old woman. She has been a regular customer for this past five years and also a friend of their parents, you can say, she was close person to the siblings.

Senja checked the perimeter of the house carefully, because of their family profession as professional thief which can caused a lot of enemy, her brothers and she were always being extra cautious to their surrounding and people near them while their parents were away from home most of the time.

When she couldn't find something strange and everything seemed normal she drag her body lazily to open the door.

"Good evening grandma" Greeted Senja when she open the door, she invited the old woman to came. After that she closed the door and locked it.

"What you like to drink?"

The old woman waved her hand "No need to be polite, it's not my first time here"

Senja chuckled and removed her face mask then throw it to the dustbin.

The old woman patted the sofa beside her, made a gesture for her to sit there. Senja obediently sit then hugged sofa pillow while lightly asked the old woman.

"What is happen grandma? It's already late night"

"I have a request"

"Request? But my brothers were not here. Maybe they will be back after 3 days"

"It's ok. It's not necessary for your brothers to get involved in this request"

Senja frowned slightly "What is it grandma?"

The old woman didn't answer her directly but her gazed fell to the book that Senja read.

"Hypnosis?" she was taken aback when she read the title "You learn this kind of thing?"

Senja scratched her head and feel embarrassed "Just to spend time, Sian bought it for me".

"Good..." The old woman muttered to herself "Is it work?"

"Hah? Oh... not really, I just learn this past two years. Until now it's only working on Zhou" it's really hard to get Sian or Lee, those people were full with self awareness.

Last time she tried on Lee, he scolded her, saying that she wasted his precious time without any little sign got affected and continued working on his laptop.

With Sian, he got slept over however, not because her hypnotist but, because he was boring to listen to her rumbling things. He chose to sleep just like that and even snored.

"You dyed your hair"

"I dyed it this afternoon out of boring" She smiled showing her little white teeth.

"Purple?" The old woman raised her brows.

Senja just smiled while twirled her hair awkwardly.

"Grandma what is your request? If it's within my ability I will try to help but if it's something that I can't handle then I suggest you to wait for my brothers returns"

The old woman shook her head "No, it can't wait... only you its fine, I just need you to deliver something to someone"

Senja felt something was off from this lady but she couldn't point out what or why. The old woman's eyes look dimmed then usual and she gave of a cold vibe. Her wrinkle skin looked pale. Something wasn't felt right.
