Chapter 354 She had not contacted Anthony and Chris for the whole day. They must have been anxious!
She called Anthony right away, but all she heard was the automated voice through the phone,â Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.â
Unavailable?
She called Chrisâ phone and the same automated reply greeted her.
It was not until then when she realized something was up, thus she turned her gaze toward Kay. âWhat did you do?â
âN-Nothing,â blurted the anxious Kay, unable to meet Charmineâs gaze.
Charmine glared at him unblinkingly. âNothing? I know how Anthony is, so why is it so hard to get in touch with him? And why is my phone on Do Not Disturb mode?â
âThis... Well... Perhaps Anthony wasnât looking for you at all? Perhaps...he doesnât treat you as seriously as you thought? Err...
Also, maybe youâre the one to turn on the Do Not Disturb mode without realizing it?â I âHah! Yeah, right! Go on, continue!â Charmine tossed her phone onto the table and glared at him questionably with her hands on her waist.
Her gaze was sharp like a knife, ready to cut him into pieces.
Kay shivered under her gaze. He stood up quickly and quipped, âIâm going to the bathroom.â
âI think Africa suits you quite well. Youâll go back tomorrow,â came Charmineâs calmly masked threat.
Terrified with the comment, Key instantly sat down and confessed, âBoss Jordan, donât blame me! This was all Mr. Popâs idea!
âHe wanted Anthony to think that you chose William over him. He even made us wipe clean the route you and Julian had taken, so that Anthony would think you and Julian did this on purpose to avoid him.
âNow that Anthony and Chris couldnât find you, it seems that they had given up...â
âGiven up?
That explained why no one picked up her calls!
Anthony must have thought she wanted to be with William, and he might even assume that she wanted to get back with Julian!
Knowing him and his jealousy, who knew what else he made up in his mind?
She took out phone, trying to turn on her location.
Kay said, âNo use. Mr. Zul made us keep a close eye on Anthony and Chris Bailey. When we checked an hour ago, we found out they had gone out of radar as well.â
Gone out of radar...
This was the first time Charmine wanted to beat them up for what they did. How would she find them? What if Anthony hated her for this? All this happened just as she made up her mind to be with Anthony, too...
What if Chris had a seizure again?
Overwhelmed with worry, Charmine barked, âThis is stupid. I want all of you to use everything you got to find where they are, right now! Otherwise, youâll be sent to Africa and mine for diamonds tomorrow onward!â
âAhh, ahh! Iâll check right away!â The terrified Kay shot up from his seat and got to work on his laptop.
He did not want to go back to Africa.
Charmine seemed genuinely angered. It seemed that her feelings for Anthony were genuine...
Did that mean all hope was lost for William?
No, no! The person he should be most worried about was himself! He had to do the task she gave him, and fast!
Charmine wanted to search for them as well, but the program on her phone was not complex enough to locate Anthony and Chris. She could only ask them to send her to Violet Villa; only there would she have some high-functioning computers that could amplify her power to search and locate.
Once she got out of the helicopter, she warned Kay, âYou have one hour!â
One hour!
Kay wanted to cry. How could he find Anthony and Chris if they intentionally evaded Charmine?
Although they were highly skilled, Anthony was even more skilled! What could he do? Where should he even start?
