Sasha was bemused by her sonâs mischief.
Nevertheless, she still headed out with Solomon as the man had promised to show her a couple of books
that might be helpful.
Her mind was now occupied with getting Ian back.
In Frontier Bay, a man was waiting impatiently for Sasha.
Luke was pacing anxiously downstairs as his boss sat in the living hall, brewing up a perilous windstorm.
âSo? Have you found her?â
âNot yet, Mr. Scott. We went to her Aunt Sharonâs house twice and waited outside for a long while. But
there was no sign of her. Maybe she didnât return there?â the weary bodyguards reported what they had
been doing all night to Luke.
Luke did consider that possibility as he was told that Sasha and Sebastian had such a bad row in the
afternoon that she had pushed Berta onto the floor.
Argh!
Lukeâs head was pounding.
Seeing as it was getting late and his bossâ eyes were still menacingly wide open, Luke decided to do
another round of searching himself.
His phone rang just as he was about to head out the door.
âHello?â
âMr. Scott, I finally have the location of Ms. Wand. She came out of Old Town in a BMW X5 and went to
Prime Cloud Corporation,â the bodyguard reported from the other end of the line.
âDid you just say Prime Cloud Corporation?â Fearing he might have misheard, Luke had to double
confirm.
The Prime Cloud Corporation across the road from Hayes Corporation? Isnât that the fast-growing
electronics and infotech company that has started to attract our attention of late? Whatâs her business
going over there?
âAre you absolutely positive? Whatâs she doing over there?â Luke was still trying to wrap his head around
this unexpected turn of events.
âIâm not sure as to why sheâs there, Mr. Scott. But someone snapped a picture,â the bodyguard said while
sending the said photo over to Lukeâs phone.
Hanging up the call, Luke inspected the photo carefully. It was indeed a photo taken discreetly in front of
the Prime Cloud Corporation building. It would appear that Sasha was being led into the lobby by a
bespectacled young man with a briefcase.
She has gone mad! Instead of coming here to treat Mr. Hayes, she followed a man into Hayes
Corporationâs rival company. What is she thinking! Doesnât she realize what kind of trouble sheâs getting
herself into?
Luke enlarged the picture to take a better look at the man, and when it dawned on him who the person
was, he almost choked from his gasp.
My goodness! This is so getting out of hand.
âLuke, what are you doing over there? Have you found that damned woman?â Sebastian barked at Luke
as there was still no news of Sashaâs whereabouts. His patience was running thin, and his bloodshot
eyes were still wide open.
Luke felt his legs turn wobbly at the thought of what he was about to tell his boss.
Nevertheless, there was no escaping from what needed to be done.
With great effort, Luke brought himself to Sebastian and selected his words carefully. âMr. Hayes, we
have found Ma⦠I mean, Ms. Wand. But um, she went to another place.â
âAnother place?â The manâs head started aching upon hearing that. His expression turned frightening
when he spoke, âWho says she can be elsewhere at this hour? Doesnât she know she should be here
treating me?â
This man is so used to getting his way heâs practically tyrannical. Madam only voluntarily visited once to
treat him, but now, sheâs become his personal doctor and not allowed to have her own life.
Luke could no longer contain himself and blurted out, âMr. Hayes, Ms. Wand has no obligation in treating
you. The only reason she came here last time was so that she could spend some time with Mr. Ian. Now
that Ms. Green has returned, itâs only normal that Ms. Wand wants to keep her distance.â
âWhat did you just say?â Sebastianâs voice was becoming more terrorizing with each word he uttered.
The tension in the living room was palpable.
Sensing his boss was about to erupt like a volcano, Luke almost jumped out of his skin. He then decided
to hand over his phone with a trembling hand and let Sebastian decipher the meaning of the picture by
himself. After which, he left the splash zone as quickly as his wobbly legs could take him.
The temperature in the living room immediately dropped to sub-zero; everyone and everything was
frozen still in a split second. It was so quiet one could hear a pin drop to the floor.
