Malcolm's tone of relief was almost inaudible, "So that's the case. Don't hang up first. I'll ask Brad to check it for you."
*
Brad was dozing off when the phone on the desk rang suddenly, so scared that he woke up from his sleep immediately, and hurried to answer the phone.
"What is your order?"
"Check out the latest news about Anthony, as soon as possible."
Anthony?
Brad fell asleep and didn't react for a moment.
Seeing that there was no immediate response, Malcolm's voice suddenly turned cold, "Do you want me to repeat it a second time?" The coldness came from the other end of the phone, and Brad couldn't help shivering, and immediately responded, "I'll go check it out."
Brad tapped on the keyboard, "After investigation, it was found that Anthony left the country on a private jet at three o'clock in the afternoon, but the specific country he went to could not be found."
After getting the news, Malcolm hung up the phone and called Lyra back.
"My wife, you have heard that Anthony is not in the country now."
Hearing a hint of relaxation and complacency in his tone, Lyra shook her head, "I see, hang up first."
Lyra called Mavis and asked, "Mavis, where are you? I'll go see you."
Mavis sent her location to her.
Soon, Lyra arrived. Seeing her desolate appearance in the private room, she felt a little sorry.
Lyra can empathize with her current feelings, which was a sense of helplessness in not being able to find the one she loved.
Not everyone had the courage to come to a strange country or a strange city for one person.
"Are you OK?"
Mavis shook her head, with a downcast face the whole time, as if she had lost the most precious thing.
"Lyra, I'm so panicked. I don't know what to do. I don't know where he went. I don't know what happened to him, let alone whether he is safe now..."
"Do you think someone kidnapped him? Would that group of people want to rob money?"
Lyra patted Mavis, who was restless, firmly, "I have asked Malcolm to help me find out about Anthony's movements these days."
"Then where did he go today?"
Mavis grabbed Lyra's hand excitedly, shaking it eagerly, and wanting to find an answer.
"Anthony left the country on a private jet at three o'clock in the afternoon, but... it is unknown which country he went to."
Hearing this, Mavis sat down disappointed.
Left at three o'clock?
At that time, he should still be able to contact her. Why didn't he tell her?
Lyra comforted, "I think he went out because he had something to do. It will be fine. Don't worry. It's so late and you should hurry back. It's not safe for a girl to be outside."
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and Mavis immediately picked up the phone. Thinking it was Anthony, she unexpectedly it was a call from a partner in business.
Lyra kept quiet, and Mavis answered the phone, "Mr. Campbell, Mr. Callahan is not in the country today. If you want to meet him, can you please wait a few days?"
The tone on the other end of the phone was a bit disappointed, "Is it such an unfortunate coincidence? I just wanted to make an appointment with him for future plans. If that's the case, you must contact me when Mr. Callahan comes back."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Campbell for your understanding."
After hanging up the phone, Mavis' expression became uneasy again.
Lyra said worriedly, "Do you want me to take you back?"
Mavis shook her head, "No need, Lyra. I'm already very grateful for asking you to check Anthony for me. I didn't expect you to come all the way here. I'm really sorry. I'll go back right away."
She was not a person who liked to trouble others, not to mention that Lyra was still such an important existence in Anthony's heart. So, she dared not trouble Lyra anymore.
