Chapter 1 There Is a Hole in the Basement?

　　"Susan, are you really going to have dinner with me tonight?"

　　With the phone in his hand, Will asked Susan in surprise, "Are you sure?"

　　"Of course."

　　Susan's sweet laughter came from the other end of the line. "I heard that you came back from a business trip, so I made an appointment with Dania. I'm going to have a party at your home tonight. I haven't seen you, the sales champion, in the company for a long time."

　　"OK! That's a deal."

　　Will hung up the phone excitedly and began to prepare dinner.

　　There are a lot of ready-made food in the fridge. Just heat it up.

　　Then he asked the delivery man of the oriental restaurant to bring some delicious Chinese food to his home, and also the convenience store to send some fruits to home.

　　Everything was done!

　　It didn't matter what to eat. What mattered was the atmosphere.

　　While whistling happily, he began to clean up the house and set up the dining room.

　　"Well, what kind of wine to drink?"

　　He had been pursuing Susan for a long time but she hadn't been too enthusiastic to him. Why did she propose to have dinner at his home tonight?

　　Did Susan have a crush on me?

　　That is great!

　　Thinking of Susan's charming eyes, Will was overjoyed.

　　Wait.

　　In the basement, there were a lot of wine he had collected in the wine cabinet.

　　"Tequila? No way. "Will murmured to himself, "the wine is too strong. If Susan thinks that he wants to get her drunk and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, it will be bad."

　　"Let me go to the basement first. Chateau Rayas is also a good choice."

　　Will whistled and walked to the basement.

　　Thinking of the charming smile on Susan's face, Will was wondering why she brought someone else to his house for the first time.

　　It was understandable.

　　Maybe Susan wouldn't bring Dania with her next time?

　　Humph! Dania could not be compared with Susan in terms of... No, I'm a gentleman!

　　Thinking of this, Will couldn't help laughing. A gentleman would never belittle anyone, especially a young girl.

　　When he arrived at the basement, the aisle lamp, which should have been turned on automatically, didn't respond.

　　Clap! Clap! Clap!

　　Will clapped his hands hard, and the applause echoed in the corridor.

　　But there was still no response from the lights in the corridor.

　　"Maybe the sensor is broken."

　　Will thought for a while and said, "I have to buy one another day."

　　The basement was not very big. There were 5 rooms on both sides of the corridor.

　　Will's basement was located at the back, about ten meters away from the entrance of the corridor.

　　In the dark, he walked to the basement door of his house. He took out the key and opened the door. Standing at the door, he reached in and touched the switch.

　　"Click, click!"

　　He turned on the switch several times, but the lights in the basement didn't work at all!

　　"Is there a power failure?"

　　Will frowned and thought, "That's good. Candlelight dinner is more romantic."

　　In the basement of his own house, with his eyes closed, he could know where the things were placed.

　　It was Will's habit to put all the things in a fixed position.

　　"Click!"

　　He took out the lighter from his pocket and walked towards the basement room under the dim light of the lighter.

　　Suddenly!

　　Will felt his feet empty!

　　All of a sudden, he fell into the abyss!

　　"Ah!"

　　Will let out a heart wrenching scream and cursed in his heart, "who is so bored that he dug a hole behind the door?'
