Chapter 11%
Ken knew this was the perfect opportunity to win Hazel over and to use the visit to the Easton Family to talk about business.However,for some reason, he couldn’t get a single word out All he could say half–heartedly, was, “Let’s do it when I’m free.
His heart was so stuffy that it was going to explode. As soon as he got rid of Hazel,he rushed home
All the way home,Ken could only think about the image of my back as I left the office.
He was still planning out how to pick a fight with me once he found me He really thought I was being ridiculously selfish.
Wasn’t everything he did for us?Wasn’t it all for securing investment from the Easton Family and to make the company even better?
What the hell was I mad about?Did I have any idea how hard he was working?Everything he did was for our future!
However, the moment Ken walked through the front door what he saw made him freeze
The living room was eerily quiet Half the shoe rack was empty My slippers and sneakers were gone.
The coffee table was spotless like before my usual cup was nowhere in sight. The throw pillow I used on the couch was gone,too. Even the juice in the fridge and the lunches in the thermal bags were all emptied out!
He bolted upstairs and flung open the bedroom door…!
It was empty!!!
Half the closet was completely cleared out. Not a single item of my clothing was left behind.Even the perfume and hand cream I always kept by the bed were gone. There was not a trace of me at all.
He walked to the vanity table. The photo frame that once held my picture was missing leaving only a faint dusty outline.
Ken panicked.
Even when we fought before,I had never been so decisive as this.
He sent me a message. [Are you done throwing your Lantrum yet?If you are come home already!
Five minutes had passed but there was no reply.
He sent the second one. What the hell are you trying to do?Where are the handover documents?Who told you to delete everything?]
Ten minutes. There was still no reply
The third message was sent with a softer tone [Come back. I won’t argue with you anymore, okay?
Every message after that was like a rant on the edge of losing control, with a whisper of humbleness that he didn’t want to admit.E
Say something ]]
[Where are you?
Emily have you lost your mind?
Please,come back.I beg you.[3
Message sent but the recipient has declined to receive messages
That cold notification flashed again and again, like a hard slap to his face }
He guessed I had gone back to my family’s home. However, after all these years he had never even thought about where I came from.He didn’t even know the address.
Like a man possessed Ken called HR Do you have Emily’s home address?”
The HR personnel hesitated “We can only tell you that she went home. She went back to her hometown.
“What?Where is that?“he yelled urgently.
President Dixon, that’s Miss White’s private information.We can’t.. 7)
“Forget it”
He gritted his teeth and ended the call. He then dialed another old employee’s number. “You are close with her,right? Where did she go?l need to find her.”
There was a pause on the other end. “President Dixon, we don’t know but maybe… let her calm down firstokay?
Then, after another short silence. the person couldn’t help but add.“When you slapped her that was too much”
Bang!
Ken slammed his fist down on the desk. His veins bulged in rage.One by one,they were all taking my side.!!
Had he really done too much when he spilled Hazel’s coffee over her and hit her?ä
If he did not side with Hazel, what if his investment was ruined?
Just then,a new message popped up from Hazel I
[Ken,accompany me to meet my mom and dad tomorrow–They’re looking forward to seeing you.
She even added a cutesy emoji She didn’t say it outright, but Ken knew exactly what meeting the parents“really meant.
