Adrian disappeared for a week.
Aleigha did everything she could to track him down, only to find out that he was last seen at the airport.
It was like he just vanished. No one knew where he was.
Aleigha was either at work or at home every day. She spent all her time outside of work looking for Adrian.
Chicago, USA.
Adrian, dressed in a black suit, was walking in a deserted alley. There was the sound of dripping water here.
The smell of Earth in the air after a heavy rain did not seem to bother him.
There was a black figure behind him. The distance between them was less than five meters.
Adrian walked very slowly.
He seemed unaware of the woman behind him, casually flicking his rain- soaked hair. His handsome face looked cold.
At the end of the alley, he stopped and turned abruptly.
The woman was caught unprepared. She waved her hands awkwardly. "Hey, Adrian, nice to meet you."
Adrian narrowed his eyes and sized up the girl. She was in her early twenties and was dressed to the nines. There was a black umbrella in her hand.
The umbrella looked out of place in her dress. She smiled awkwardly, her big round eyes staring at him.
"I told you to stay far away from me! You don't understand human language?" Adrian's tone was as cold as ever. Even when it came to girls, he was not friendly.
The girl's eyes dimmed, but immediately lit up. "I like you. I made up my mind to be with you from the moment you saved me."
"I'm married, and my wife is the only one I'm gonna be with. Stay away from me. This is my last warning to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and jumped over a two- foot wall. Then, he disappeared without a trace.
The girl stamped her foot in anger. There was nothing she could do.
Seven days ago.
Adam's assistant called Adrian out of the blue to tell him that Adam and Tracey had an accident on the trip. It happened so fast that Adrian didn't have time to tell Aleigha about this.
Fortunately, Jaidyn was with him at that time. He told Jaidyn to take care of Aleigha and left.
His private jet was not in City A, so he chartered a plane to go to America alone.
As he got off the plane, he realized that it was a hoax.
He was followed right out of the airport, and he was chased twice in a row.
He saved a girl from drowning, and she followed him for days.
He was a special case, so he was keeping a low profile in Chicago. As he expected, everyone in City A knew he disappeared.
He didn't want to blow his cover, so he didn't contact Aleigha. He missed her like crazy, but he didn't show it on his face.
His Chicago office had been taken over. As soon as he got there, he'd be surrounded.
Fortunately, he met a middle- aged man in Chinatown who owned a Chinese restaurant. He'd been staying at this restaurant for the last few days.
He'd been going out almost every day, and he wouldn't be back until late.
The middle-aged man was also from City A. He came to America after his wife died.
Adrian was chased and wounded, so he hid in this restaurant. That was why he got to know the owner.
After leaving the alley, Adrian took a long detour back to this restaurant.
There weren't many guests here. Adrian sat in front of the bar and ordered a bottle of beer.
