Chapter 482
You Hit My Heart
As per Juanita's request, she was told to go to Manager Foster in the
lobby to pick up the venue supplies.
Joyce walked in. It was not the dining time, and inside the lobby were
only a few people. From afar she could hear the voice of a woman
talking. That woman was wearing a white work shirt and red work skirt,
looking a bit like the lobby manager.
As Joyce approached, she glanced at the nameplate on the woman's
chest, which read: Manager Foster.
Sure enough, it was the person she was looking for.
Manager Foster was talking to an old man, wearing a black suit, with
his back towards Joyce. Although his hair had been completely white,
the posture was extraordinarily upright. His back was straight, his
shoulder was wide and rounded, and his waist was thick and strong.
She knew he had a military background when she just saw him.
"Mister, I'm sorry, I really can't do what you're asking. I have explained
to you many times that I really haven't found the girl you are talking
about.â Manager Foster helplessly explained repeatedly. The old man
had come many times, and each time he asked the same question,
looking for a girl he had met by chance in the hallway.
"You look again carefully and take a look at all the surveillance of the
day. I'm sure I'm not mistaken; she is about this tall.â The old man
gestured with his hand, "Very thin, very pretty, with dark and bright
eyes, with a spirited look between her eyebrows."
"Mister, there is really no surveillance in the corridor. From the corridor
down the hall, I have checked the surveillance several times. Today, I
have checked it again. There is really not the girl you are talking about.â
Manager Foster patiently explained. This old man did not look ordinary,
and she simply did not dare to cross any customer who could afford to
come to Riveria Haze. In deed he was old, but maybe he had some
unusual background. She didn't dare to offend him. However, she had
tried her best but still, she couldn't find the person the old man was
looking for.
âI would suggest that you go to the police station to look for her. Maybe
they have a solution. Riveria Haze is a club, and we are not really
experts in looking for people.â Manager Foster said kindly, when she
happened to see Joyce, and asked, "Are you the one that Juanita said
would come and get her things?"
"Right. It's okay, you work first, I'm not in a hurry."
Joyce waved her hand politely and gestured to Manager Foster to take
care of his own business first.
"Mister, what about this? I have another job and someone is waiting for
me to get something. Do you want me to call a cab for you or notify
your family to pick you up?" Manager Foster politely declined.
"All right. No need, I'll go back on my own."
The old man sighed. He was Rodney Heath. He had been to Riveria
Haze several times, and he was convinced that he must have seen Mia
that day. There was absolutely no mistake. However, the staff here had
helped him look for her several times, but he could not find her.
Today was destined to be another disappointing day.
Rodney looked dejected, his face full of wrinkles, his eyebrows deeply
furrowed, and he looked even older than when he just came.
He turned around despondently.
The moment when he turned around, Joyce happened to be looking
up.
He looked straight ahead. After the long search, at this moment the girl
from that day suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. At first he thought
he was mistaken, or was having an illusion already, he wiped his eyes
and found that the girl in front of him was still there and not an illusion.
The sunny face, combined with those spirited long eyebrows, made the
perfect combination of her cold pride and mildness.
It's her, it's her.
Rodney shouted out excitedly, "Mia!
