Chapter 1861 Locked In
“Selena, you’re on the next shift,” Freya yelled suddenly.
Selena felt uneasy at once. I have been working for over ten hours without a break. Why did I have to
take on another shift? She was beyond exhausted by that point.
“Freya, I’m not feeling too good today. Could you put me on another shift? Maybe someone can take
my ce for tonight?” Selena asked, her eyes fixed on Freya, who was standing before her. She had
hoped that Freya would give her a break.
For some reason, Selena’s stomach had been hurting since she woke up that morning. At first, she
thought it was due to something she ate. But it’s been going on for an entire day, and it bothered her.
She had been looking forward to getting off work and grabbing some medication on her way out, but
that n was off.
Since the manager wasn’t in, Freya was in charge of all matters. The department leaders had opted to
stay out of her way.
Freya approached Selena with a cold smile.
“Selena, don’t you try to wriggle your way out of this one with some fake illness,” she sneered. “You will
be on duty tonight, and nobody will take your ce.”
There were times when Selena considered having a good chat with Freya to find out why she was
constantly picked on. As far as she could remember, she did not do anything to offend Freya.
“Freya, I really do have a stomachache. I would like to pick up some medication,” Selena said with a
grimace as she clutched her stomach.
“Is that so? Just bear with it!” Freya retorted coldly and left.
Selena felt her heart sinking as she watched Freya’s retreating figure. She could not understand why
she was being treated in this manner.
Sure enough, her co-workers began to depart when their shift had ended. Only Selena and Freya were
left in the supermarket. Selena remained outside while Freya was in her office.
Usually, night shifts at the supermarket ended at ten. But that night, Freya did not allow Selena to leave

despite it being eleven already. Even though there wasn’t a single customer in sight, she was still
forced to stay behind.
Finally, at half-past eleven, Freya emerged from her office slowly, looking haggard.
“Ms. Brooks, it’s almost midnight…” Selena said at once.
“Hold on, I’m going to the washroom,” Freya said with a yawn.
Selena felt disappointed.
Soon, it was twelve and Freya was nowhere to be seen.
This isn’t right. I shouldn’t be working overtime thiste. Selena nced at her watch, slowly getting
anxious. Why hasn’t she return from the washroom?
Selena gazed forlornly at the pitch-ck darkness outside.
It was almost one in the morning when she grew tired of waiting. She barged into the washroom and
discovered that there was no one in there.
She checked again just to be sure and found no trace of Freya. Immediately, Selena ran to the
entrance and found that it was locked.
I got locked in the supermarket…
Selena gave a hollowugh. After going through everything, this is what I get in the end…
She trudged to the break room and fell heavily onto the small bed. With wide eyes, she tossed and
turned, unable to fall asleep.
Delh called a littleter. “Hey, Selena, what’s going on? It’s sote, why aren’t you back yet?” she
asked with concern.
“Mom, why aren’t you back yet?” Lucius called out in the background.
“Ms. Young, I won’t be home tonight. There’s an event here and the customers are neverending…”
Selena invented a lie so Delh wouldn’t worry about her.
Naturally, Delh caught on to Selena’s exhausted and panicked tone of voice.
“Lucius, go back to sleep. You still have school tomorrow,” Delh said as she patted the boy on the
head.
Lucius yawned twice in a row and went into his bedroom.
“Selena, you’d better tell me what’s actually going on,” Delh said in a stern voice. “Why are you so
know whether or not the mall is hosting events?”
