Who Moved My Keys Book の小説・ストーリー

There was something inside. I dropped the book in my arm and opened the back. There was a key inside What made me gasp wasn't the fact that the key was golden and it shone as I pulled it out. It was the fact that the moment I held the key, I went back to that moment again.

And in the center of the room, his desk stood polished, organized, as though he had left it only yesterday. I circled it slowly, my eyes falling on the locked drawer. A small brass handle glinted in the light. Something inside me stirred. I tugged at it , it didn’t budge. My hands shook as I searched the drawers above, the shelves around, until I found a small key tucked beneath a stack of papers. My breath caught as I slid it into the lock. Click. The drawer opened. Inside lay a single book. Plain, leather-bound, dark with age. No title. No markings. But the moment my fingers brushed its cover, the air shifted.

They stole everything, how did they steal so many things when I locked the door and turned the alarm closes on "But...I but I turned...I Locked the door...yes...I" I stammered the word out trying to remember that I indeed locked all the doors to the restaurant securely, I was certain about it that I locked the door but when Janice approached me and showed me the keys, my soul instantly left my body and my knees weakened seeing the keys he had in his hands, those were the employee keys he left for us to close his restaurant since he went home early and if he was holding them then

They didn't look loyal; they looked like vultures waiting for him to slip up. I moved to the massive bookshelf behind Abram’s chair. He thought I was just some girl who liked stories. He didn't realize I looked for cracks in the foundation. I pulled on a thick law book. It didn't move. I tried the one next to it—some old book on pack history. It slid forward, and I realized the middle of the books had been hollowed out. "What the hell?" I whispered. Inside the hidden space was a heavy, old-fashioned brass key. It looked totally out of place in this high-tech office. But it wasn't the key that made my heart stop. It was the logo etched into the metal.

CHAPTER 20 Saturday morning I moved a book. Not randomly. I chose the one Matthias had left face-down on the sitting room chair, the one he'd been reading for three days based on how the bookmark had shifted. I picked it up, found his page, and moved it three shelves up on the bookcase. Same section. Different shelves. He'd find it somewhere, but only if he took the time to look. Then I finished the room and moved on. It was just a minor thing. Someone clearly noticed and messed with this place.

I'd come out to the breakfast bar and set the small brass key on the marble between us like a card played face-up, and I'd watched him look at it and understand it before I said a word. There's a safe deposit box, I'd said, keeping my voice in the flat careful register, two lawyers stipulating facts. Box eleven forty-seven. The key was in his Bible. I've been carrying it since the third day I was here. A breath. I didn't tell you because I didn't know if you'd use whatever's in it to bury him deeper or to bury me. And Malik had looked at the key for a long moment, and then at me, and he'd said the fairest thing anyone had ever offered me.

i heard him muttering under his breadth and trust me, i fought it hard way to not to hit his head on the steering wheel. "Take any key except the first one." He spoke once i was out of the car and he drove to his company. A sheepish smile formed on my face as i won this time. Or more like he let me win. I ran to the key-shelf section that always fantised me to take out a key and drive. And today was the day. I took out a random key that had a human skeleton as a key chain. It looked fancy... But why did he put restriction in the first key? What's there?

She checked her system for a minute, nodded, and handed me a key. “Top floor, Room 10. We offer spa services, and there’s a rooftop hot tub if you’d like it.” I returned the smile and headed for the elevator. As it rose, I allowed myself one small expectation - that the room would at least justify being here. The elevator pinged on the last floor and slid open. I stepped out, scanning the door numbers until I found ten. Holding my breath, I swiped the key. God, I hated disappointments. Please don’t be one.

"Then I'm staying right here while you open it." He nodded, and for the first time since he'd sat frozen on that vault floor, something in his chest loosened enough to let him move. ***** The key was exactly where he'd left it, taped beneath the drawer itself, a small act of self-sabotage he'd never quite understood until this moment, hiding the key close enough to reach and far enough to require deciding on purpose to use it. The file was thicker than he remembered, several pages stapled together, official letterhead gone slightly yellow at the edges.

I was left with planning for transport after I had the money. I haven’t been home in a while by the way the grass had sprouted and the leaves on the entranceway. I smiled regardless because it felt good to be back where I belonged. I moved to the side of the window where a plant pot was and lifted it to get a spare key. I moved to the door, making my way to the kitchen before I had a voice. “Hello, Maya,” I dropped the key and made my way for the door I was stopped by a man who stood in on the entranceway when I was about to escape before he pushed me back inside.
