Lisa had just showered. Her hair was still damp. She was shivering with cold as she fondly gazed at him.
"Of course."
Robert opened the door wider for her so that she could step into the room.
As soon as he closed the door, Lisa quickly reached out and switched off the light. The room was dark, and the ambience was intense.
"What's wrong, Linda?"
"Bobby, I feel cold. Could you please come to the bed and hug me?" Lisa's soothing voice echoed in the darkness.
The Mu clan's main house
Charles was still upset when he left the villa. He could not focus on his work in the company, so he went to the Mu clan's main house instead.
For a couple of nights, whenever he went to bed and closed his eyes, Linda's face would appear and haunt him.
He felt useless about himself.
"Young Master, the woman disappeared."
Paul knocked on his door and brought him the shocking news.
No servant ever bothered Charles late in the evening, unless it was urgent.
"Disappeared?" Charles got out of bed and sat in the sofa. He rubbed his hair in distress and murmured to himself.
Tonight was going to be another sleepless night for him.
"Yes. She is gone. Tonight around midnight when the guards switched shifts, someone set fire to the lawn and caused a distraction. After the fire was put out, she vanished into thin air."
"She seemed to have gotten scared after having been exposed."
"Yes, Young Master. Luckily, we had tapped into her phone and tracked down her whereabouts. Last time at around 8:00 PM, she dialled a number. It belongs to Robert Huo. The GPS also shows that she is now with him in the Huo clan's villa, "
Paul calmly reported to Charles.
"Do you have a recording of her call to Robert?"
"Yes, we do. I asked the technicians to extract their conversations. But, we came across some technical glitches. We'll deliver it to your desk tomorrow morning."
"Noted. You may leave now."
Paul paused and then said, "Young Master, shouldn't we send some men over and get the woman back?"
"Robert sent her to me to start with. Now that they know that I have found out about her real identity, they had to rescue her back. Anyway, she is not my Linda. Why would I bother getting her back? Rest now. Let's discuss this tomorrow."
Charles needed to listen to the recording first to find out what they were talking about. Then, he would act accordingly. He had all the patience to deal with them.
