Chapter 46

Sasha was bemused by her son's 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 lan 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. “So?

Have you found her?” “Not yet, Mr. Scott. We went to her Aunt Sharon's house twice and waited

outside for a long while. But there was no sign of her. Maybe she didn't return there?” 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! Luke's head was pounding. Seeing as it was getting late and his boss’

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. “Hello?” “Mr. 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,” the bodyguard reported from the other end of the line. “Did you just say Prime Cloud

Corporation?” Fearing he might have misheard, Luke had to double confirm. The Prime Cloud

Corporation across the road from Hayes Corporation? Isn't that the fast-growing electronics and

infotech company that has started to attract our attention of late? What's her business going over

there?

"Are you absolutely positive? What's she doing over there?” Luke was still trying to wrap his head

around this unexpected turn of events. “I'm not sure as to why she’s there, Mr. Scott. But someone

snapped a picture,” the bodyguard said while sending the said photo over to Luke's 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 Corporation's rival company. What is she thinking! Doesn't she

realize what kind of trouble she’s 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. “Luke, what are you doing over there? Have you found

that damned woman?” Sebastian barked at Luke as there was still no news of Sasha's 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. “Mr. Hayes, we have found Ma... I mean, Ms. Wand. But um, she went to another

place.” “Another place?” The man's head started aching upon hearing that. His expression turned

frightening when he spoke, “

Who says she can be elsewhere at this hour? Doesn't she know she should be here treating me?”

This man is so used to getting his way he’s practically tyrannical. Madam only voluntarily visited once

to treat him, but now, she’s become his personal doctor and not allowed to have her own life. Luke

could no longer contain himself and blurted out, “Mr. 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. lan.

Now that Ms. Green has returned, it's only normal that Ms. Wand wants to keep her distance.”

“What did you just say?” Sebastian's 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.
