According to the itinerary, she should be here already.
Benji never thought that he would lose track of the person he was supposed to pick up. He immediately called her secretary, who answered with her usual business-like tone, "Mr. Lynch? What may I help you with?"
"May I know if Ms. Hestia Deschamps has already arrived in Genecity?" Benji asked.
Sylvie frowned. She stood up and walked out of her office. "Ms. Deschamps is coming to Genecity? When did this happen? Why wasn't I informed?"
"Huh?" Benji did not expect such an answer from Sylvie.
"About a week ago, our company sent a letter of invitation to Ms. Deschamps, inviting her to come to the Duvals' residence as a guest. Ms. Deschamps replied to us in her email, saying that she'll be attending. She even included her itinerary," Benji explained.
Sylvie's brow remained furrowed as she logged into her young lady's email and found her reply. She sighed. "Alright, Mr. Lynch, I think I know what happened. This is a private schedule that our young lady accepted on her own and is not within my job scope.
"I have no idea where she is right now, but I can assure you that you don't have to worry about her." Sylvie paused for a moment before continuing. "You may need to worry about the situation of those around you."
Benji was confused, and Sylvie added, "If you have suffered any property loss, you can call me at any time, and I'll handle the compensation issue."
Before Benji could respond, Sylvie had hung up the phone, as if she wished she had not answered the call that day and hoped she would never receive a call from Benji again.
Sylvie's abnormal reaction gave Benji a bad feeling. However, the top priority was to find Hestia as soon as possible.
