Natasha's eyes were wide open throughout the night. Like a robot, she stared intently at the screen as she monitored the surveillance cameras to look for anyone suspicious.
Right beside her, Anthony and Benjamin were also staring at the screen. Their eyes were reddened because of how focused they were, and they didn't want to miss anything crucial.
By the break of dawn, some film crew had just arrived to set up the filming site while some were getting off work. Hence, there were people walking in and out of the set.
Neither the police station nor the director had received a phone call.
It was as if Denise had just vanished into thin air without leaving any clues behind.
Kenneth knew that the longer they waited, the greater danger Denise would be in.
Despite his anxiousness, he knew he had to try his best to keep himself calm.
In fact, his intuition told him Denise was fine, and she was waiting for him to find her. I can't afford to panic now. We must've missed out on something!
With that in mind, Kenneth opened the car door and got out of the car. I have to check the surroundings and find out where the problem lies.
The moment Kenneth opened the car, a gust of cold wind blew past, and he felt much more awake after that. He merely glanced at the people inside the car quietly before walking off.
Those three in the car were all focused on the screen, and they didn't even notice Kenneth leaving.
After getting out of the car, Kenneth peered at his surroundings. Since there was limited sunlight, he found it hard to see clearly.
He then saw a convenience store that opened all day long, and he went in.
When he came out of the convenience store, he was holding a pack of cigarettes. He couldn't be bothered about the type or brand of cigarettes he bought. All he wanted was to smoke and calm his nerves.
By the time he finished a cigarette, he was still as anxious as before.
Right when Kenneth was about to head back, there were two people
walking past him.
“I'm going to tell you a secret, and you must keep it to yourself!” one of them said to the other.
“What is it?” the other person asked.
“Yesterday, I saw the male lead and female lead...” In a low voice, the person continued, “They were getting it on behind the mountain!”
“What? Are you serious?”
“Of course, I am! I saw them doing it with my own eyes!”
“You saw them in action? Really?”
“Yes! Although I couldn't see them clearly because it was at night, I could hear them loud and clear. Who would've known? The female lead looks so innocent, no? I didn't expect her to do something so extreme!”
“Wait. Why would they do it behind the mountain? Can't they just go to a hotel?”
“Well, people might see them if they were to go to a hotel together. The area behind the mountain doesn't have any surveillance cameras. It's dark there, so no one can see a thing. Besides, there's no one there, not even the paparazzi. Even if someone does show up, they can just hide somewhere nearby. Most importantly, they do it for the thrill!”
“You're right. Hey! Bring me along next time when something like that happens, will you? I would like to enjoy a live show as well!”
“Sure!”
They were talking and walking at the same time.
Right then, Kenneth suddenly showed up in front of them and stopped them in their tracks.
Those two were shocked to see Kenneth. He's wearing branded clothes, and he has the looks. Who is this guy ? What does he want? Is he a new celebrity ? A few seconds later, one of them asked, “W-What do you want?”
“You guys mentioned something about the back of a mountain, right? Where is that?” Kenneth asked.
Guilt washed over them instantly. One of them blinked anxiously and said, “I didn't say that! You must've misheard me!”
With that, they wanted to flee. However, Kenneth wasn't letting them go so easily. He stood in front of them once again to stop them from leaving.
The two of them looked utterly troubled. “We're just extras, and we're
