Chapter 67
Sonia raised her eyebrows. “If you’re looking for Miss Gray, why are you here? Isn’t she with you?” “Exactly!” Charles agreed, crossing his arms.
In response, Toby lowered his eyes. “She’s not with me.”
“What?” Charles paused for a moment before smiling gleefully. “Have you lost
her?”
Toby didn’t reply. No longer finding the
situation as funny as before, Charles
questioned in surprise as the smile slipped from his face, “Are you serious?”
Looking at Toby, Sonia continued, “Are you looking for her here because you think we hid her?”
Toby met her gaze. “She never returned
from the restroom, and the only people here that have bad blood with her are
you two.”
Annoyed, Charles barked a laugh. “You
think we hid her because we have
issues with her? How stupid do you
think we are? Everyone knows we’d be
the foremost suspects if something
happened to her.”
Silently, Toby pursed his lips. In truth, he, too, knew the chances of Tina being there weren’t high. Thus, he had gone over only hoping he would find Tina by sheer luck.
“President Fuller.” Sonia grabbed the split hem of Charles’ suit jacket and pulled him to the side before walking up to Toby. “I’ll admit I bumped into her in the restroom, but I left before her
and have no idea where she went. You
can check the video surveillance of the
areas close to the restroom.”
“I did. There’s no trace of her,” he said,
clenching his fists. After Tina failed to
return to their private room, he called
her, but she didn’t pick up. Then, he had
the manager send the restaurant staff
in search of her. Even after checking the entire place, they could not find her.
The strange thing was that the
restaurant’s video surveillance system
was operating normally but had not captured any trace of her. Something
seemed amiss.
Back in the present, Charles curled his
lips. “If there were no signs of her in
the video surveillance footage, that only proves she avoided being
captured and is now in hiding. Maybe
she’s doing it on purpose and making you anxious because she wants to see what position she holds in your heart. That sounds like something the drama
queen would do.”
Instantly, Toby’s face darkened, and the temperature in the room dropped.
Meanwhile, Sonia gave Charles a warning glance and indicated to him to be silent. Wasn’t he seeking death to call the love of Toby’s life a drama
queen to his face?
“My apologies, President Fuller. Charles here tends to speak without
thinking. Please don’t take it to heart,”
she apologized somewhat insincerely
before looking down at the watch on her wrist. “It’s getting late. It’s time for me and Charles to leave. Take your
time in finding Miss Gray. We hope you
Chiper
find her soon. Goodbye!” Then, with a courteous smile at Toby, she took
Charles’ arm and walked away with him.
As Toby watched them walk away,
joking and squabbling, his gaze
darkened, and he felt immensely irritated. For six years, she had acted numb toward him, but now that they
were divorced, she instantly
surrounded herself with men, offering
them warm and brilliant smiles. How
could such a fickle woman compare to
Tina?
When he recalled his grandmother’s
dislike of Tina and her warning him not
Chat
to regret divorcing Sonia, he couldn’t help thinking that it was ridiculous. Regret? How could that be possible?
Kicking Sonia out of his mind, he pulled out his cell phone with a cold
expression on his face and made a call. “Have you found her yet?”
“No. My men and I have searched the
areas near the restaurant, but we couldn’t find any traces of her.” Standing at the door of the restaurant, Tom suggested while scratching his head, “Maybe we should file a police report, President Fuller.”
Tightening his grip around his cell phone, Toby responded in a low,
After putting his cell phone away, Toby left the restaurant and drove in the direction of Gray Residence.
After glancing at her, Toby answered in a low voice, “She’s missing!”
“Julia!” Titus shouted, quickly catching hold of her falling body.
As soon as he said that, Toby’s phone rang. Toby pulled out his phone and checked the caller ID before answering the call. “Hello?”
“We found a lead, President Fuller.” Tom said excitedly. “A passerby saw a masked man carrying her into a van.”
