Just mentioning Teresa’s name was enough for the call to go straight through to Jonathan.
Jonathan was in the middle of a meeting. Even when Teresa reached out to ask him to pick up her friend’s kid from kindergarten, he’d just plan to send a driver. He never had time to go himsell.
On the phone, Tina introduced herself as Teresa’s colleague. “Mr. Lynn, you’re Teresa’s ex–husband: I don’t know if you still care about her, but she might be in danger right now.”
“What happened to her?” Jonathan immediately raised his hand to pause the meeting and stepped out to take the call.
Tina said, “I can tell you where Teresa is, but you have to promise me something first. My brother, Ryan, can’t find a job now. He didn’t know Teresa was your ex–wife at first, and-”
“Horizonlead Group will never hire him again. As for other companies, that’s not my concern,” Jonathan cut her off, his tone sharp and impatient. He was too worried about Teresa to waste time. He rarely interrupted people like this.
But Tina wouldn’t let it go. “Ryan was fired by Horizonlead Group. It’s on his resume-
“He’ll find another job. Now hurry up and tell me what’s going on with Teresa, or I’ll make sure no private company here hires him. If Teresa’s in danger and you keep quiet, you’ll face the consequences.”
That finally made Tina nervous. She told Jonathan where Teresa was, and mentioned that Lysander had been eyeing her and he’d even arranged a private room for her at the school, which seemed really suspicious, like he was up to no good.
Jonathan’s heart was in his throat. “Keep an eye on her. If anything happens, contact me right away. If I can’t get there in time, call the police immediately. If anything happens to her, you won’t get away with it.”
As soon as he hung up, Jonathan ended the meeting on the spot and drove off to find Teresa.
After making sure everyone was settled in, Lysander took the group out to dinner. He popped open a few bottles. If someone couldn’t drink, he wouldn’t push them, except for Teresa. She was the only one he kept insisting on.
Teresa shook her head, refusing the alcohol. Noticing this, Lysander shot a look at the waiter. “Pour her a glass of juice,” he said.
