The news were spreading like wildfire, to the point that it almost could not be contained.
Meanwhile, the main character, Manni, had never stepped out to say anything. It was as if she had disappeared into thin air.
Today, dozens of reporters all came out of their nests and started to do thorough investigations. They all hoped to be able to interview Manni herself.
Naturally, this was also the purpose of Rosiley’s trip.
However, even if one had connections, it would basically be impossible to find someone who was hiding on purpose.
Feeling helpless, Rosiley could only start from those celebrities who had a good relationship with Manni.
However, in such a sensitive period, the celebrities in the industry were all very self-aware. They completely avoided this topic at all costs to prevent bringing trouble upon themselves. With tremendous effort, she managed to get some to talk about it, but they were all very formal.
Being busy at work, Rosiley did not know that trouble was approaching her slowly.
Rosiley spent the afternoon going around places. At about 8 p. m., she had a casual dinner outside. Afterward, she planned to head to the Lu Group to find Sachin. The couple had made arrangements to go home together.
Meanwhile, when she arrived at an intersection, a car dashed out from a dark corner suddenly and stopped beside her. Following which, in just the blink of an eye, someone covered her mouth and dragged her into the car.
Rosiley was utterly shocked. She struggled to shout for help. However, before she could even open her mouth, she felt a pungent medicine smell enter her nose. Then, everything became dark and she lost consciousness.
…
At this moment, in REG’s CEO’s office…
Sachin was still seated at his desk, finishing his unfinished work. Lane came in with a cup of coffee and said respectfully, “sir, your coffee.”
Sachin nodded and lifted the cup. However, for some reason, his brows jumped up suddenly. He also lost control of the cup of coffee, and with a loud thud, it fell back onto the table.
In that split instant, the dark liquid splashed across the entire table, wetting numerous important documents.
Lane got a scare and quickly got some tissues to wipe it up. At the same time, he looked at Sachin with a shocked gaze. “sir, are you all right?”
Sachin’s brows furrowed slightly. He felt uneasiness in his heart. He quickly lifted his hand and looked at the time on his watch.
It was already half-past eight, and he had yet to see Rosiley.
Sachin called her phone, but he could not get through.
He tried a few times but it was to no avail.
Sachin’s brows furrowed even tighter. He could not help looking up at Lane and asking, “Did Madam come by just now?”
“I didn’t see her.”
Lane shook his head. Seeing that something was wrong with Sachin’s expression, he quickly asked with caution, “sir, did something happen? Do you need me to check?”
Sachin remained silent for a moment before saying faintly, “Not now. You can go out first.”
However, he still felt uneasiness in his heart. He quickly opened the location tracker on his phone.
He had installed the location tracker on Rosiley’s phone in case of emergencies and to ensure her safety.
Initially, Sachin thought that something might have cropped up that caused her to be so late.
However, when he saw that her location showed that she was in the countryside, his face fell instantly.
“Lane!”
He shouted at Lane, who was just about to step out of the office. His tone was terrifyingly low.
Lane got a scare and turned around. “sir, do you have any other instructions?”
“Get the car and go out with me. Be quick.”
Sachin sprang up from his chair. He did not give any other explanation. He grabbed his coat and walked out of the office.
Lane had been by his side for many years. Seeing his sullen expression, he knew that something had happened. Hence, he did not dare to take things slow. He quickly nodded and followed him out.
