Chapter 827
“Barbara Chase.”
The waiter knew who Barbara was and gave off a polite smile. “Ms. Chase isn’t here today.”
Maisie frowned. “Has she not come here at all before this?”
He replied immediately, “Yes, we’d know if she’s been here.”
‘It doesn’t look like he’s lying.’ Maisie took a good look around the lobby.
Barbara isn’t here, and her phone has been turned off, so where would she be?’
The manager stepped out of the elevator and instructed the employees to tidy up upstairs private rooms. He then turned around, saw Maisie, and was dumbfounded.
The waiter walked over to the manager and reported, “She’s here for Ms. Chase.”
“Ms. Chase?” The manager took a glance at Maisie before walking toward them. “Ms. Chase hasn’t come here today. May I know why you are looking for her?”
Maisie replied calmly, “I couldn’t get through to her phone, and she hasn’t replied to my messages, so I thought she would be here.” The manager was astounded and seemed a little surprised. “You can’t get through to her phone?” Maisie nodded.
She had been observing the manager’s expression secretly, and the strange thing was that the manager obviously did not know about this. He looked more confused than herself.
She then asked tentatively, “Does your boss know where she is?”
The manager returned to his senses and smiled. “Our boss won’t know Ms. Chase’s whereabouts if she hasn’t informed us about that. However…”
He stared at Maisie. “What’s your relationship with Ms. Chase?”
“She’s my friend, and we’re rather close.” Maisie smiled and then looked away. “Her phone has always been turned on, but it’s been turned off out of the blue, so I’m a little worried.”
The manager was about to say something when two men in black suddenly came into the lobby. As such, he said, “Please give me a second.”
He then approached the two men in black.
