“Can I just go for a walk? Please, handsome?” Anya asked. She wanted to go out to observe the


    terrain. So she bit her lips, acted to be pitiful and adorable, and tried to win the guard’s favor.


    “You cane with me. Or use duct tape to seal my mouth, so I can’t shout out.” Anya asked with her


    palm folded and begged the guard.


    The guard couldn’t resist the request from such a beauty as her. He agreed without a second thought.


    However, he did use the duct tape to seal her mouth.

    He even tied Anya’s wrists with a rope, and then he dragged her out like walking a puppy.


    Once Anya was outside of the vi, she couldn’t even care about the views around. She quickly


    scouted the terrain around and thought, “This is like an abandoned corner of the world.”


    The vi was surrounded by grass that was more than head high Those grasses were so thick that the


    whole vi was hidden inside. If it was not because of the river behind the vi, she seriously doubted if


    there was any way out of here.


    But what was even more despairing was… The only way out of here was by water.


    Anya thought,


    “Haye you done yet?” The guard asked impatiently. He followed Anya to walk around the vi.


    Thankfully, there was no ident happened.


    Anya turned her gaze and said in a panic, “Yes. Let’s head back.”


    The minute they returned to the vi, the guard locked Anya inside the bedroom on the second floor.


    She was forbidden to/ go outside for even one step.


    At the same time, in the Welton Group.


    Jake was busying about the preparation of greeting Sh and the arrangement of her job. He didn’t


    even notice that Anya was absent today.


    After Jake finished the arrangement of Sh’s job, he wanted to discuss with Anya about going to the


    meeting at Foxville.


    Then he walked to Anya’s table and found her absence.


    Jake frowned and asked the female designer beside, “Anya didn’te in today?”


    The female designer raised her head from the pile of blueprints and said, “No, I didn’t see her today.”


    “Did she call in sick or anything?” Jake went on and asked.


    The female designer shook her head, “No, I didn’t hear anything from her.”


    “Alright, carry on your work,” Jake said. Without the answer he wanted, Jake pulled out his phone and


    called Anya. He didn’t want to waste any time at all.


    Her phone was powered off?


    What was going on?


    Hearing the artificial voice of “the phone number you have dialed is not in service” from his phone, Jake


    frowned

    immediately. He thought, “Something must be wrong.”


    From his understanding of Anya.


    She was not the type of person who waste to work or quit without notice.


    Even for herst resignation, she gave him her resignation letter before she quit.


    For this time, she didn’t show up without notice, and she didn’t answer her phone?


    What exactly was going on?


    (+5)


    Jake was worried about Anya. But she just moved recently without telling him the exact address. So he


    couldn’t find her in person. He thought, “Who should I contact now?”


    Jake thought for a moment. He recalled that there was an emergency contact number on Anya’s entry


    information form. It was Ellie’s number.


    With this thought, Jake rushed to the HR department to get Anya’s resume.


    Soonter, Jake found her resume, and he found Ellie’s number in the emergency contact section.


    Jake dialed the number and called her right away.


    In the mansion, Ellie picked up the phone, “Hi, Who is it?”


    “Hi, this is Mr. Hanson calling from JK Couture. I am the manager of Anya. She didn’t show up to work


    today. I am


    wondering if she is at home?” Jake exined his intention to Ellie in a polite manner.


    Ellie was confused, “She didn’t go to work today?”


    “No, she didn’t,” Jake answered.


    “But she didn’te homest night. She was at Cindy’s ce,” Ellie said. Jake was in a hurry and cut


    her off, “Do you have Cindy’s number, so I can try to contact her?”


    “Ok, here is the number.” Ellie found Cindy’s number and reported to Jake.


    Jake wrote down the number and said, “Thank you, Ellie, I will try to call this number.”


    Ellie said, “You’re wee, let me know if there’s anything happened.”


    “Yes, I will,” Jake hung up the phone. Then he called Cindy right away.


    However, Cindy passed out in the hospital because she was worried about Anya. There was no way


    she could pick up the call.


    Jake couldn’t get a hold of Cindy. He thought for a second and decided to call her again at noon.
