A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 226

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the main entrance. They were anxiously waiting for their loved ones to appear.

“Hurry up! Why is it taking so long?” someone shouted impatiently.

“Oh, come on. The officers need time to handle things,” another person soothed.

“Drew will be out soon,” Claire said, gripping her mother’s hand tightly, with a hint of resolve flashing in her eyes.

Finally, the first group of employees released from the police station emerged through the doors. Their faces were unable to hide the excitement and thrill, as if they had been given a new lease on life.

“Oh, thank goodness! They’re finally out!” someone exclaimed joyfully.

“Look, there’s my daughter!” a person pointed out one of the employees.

The mother rushed forward to embrace her daughter tightly, wiping away tears. “Thank god you’re out.”

As more and more employees were released, the crowd’s mood lifted increasingly.

Time passed, but there was still no sign of Drew among those being released.

His family grew more anxious.

“Where is my son?” Riley started to fret.

“Officer, could you please tell us how much longer it will be?” someone asked the police.

“Please be patient, everyone. We are doing our best to process this quickly,” an officer reassured the crowd.

Batch after batch of employees were released, and the crowd at the police station dwindled significantly.
