Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 411

Scarlett's POV:

To prepare for the project on the east bank, Elena and I worked overtime in the company.

While I was reading about the project's information, she began to tease me.

"Caroline, I didn't expect you to be such a strong businesswoman now!"

I looked her in the eye and sighed. "People change, you know."

Time fleeted by while I was busy. Within the blink of an eye, it was already late at night. After yawning several times, Elena broke her silence.

"Caroline, I'm hungry. I'll go downstairs to the canteen for a little midnight snack. I'll bring you something to eat when I get back."

I stared at the mountain of documents on my desk and replied, "Okay."

Then, I lowered my head again and went back to work.

Moments later, my stomach began to grow. I glanced at the clock and found that an hour had passed since Elena left.

'Why isn't she back yet?' I wondered.

Frowning, I took out my phone to call Elena.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is out of coverage area. Please leave a message after the

beep."

'Ican'tgetthroughtoher. Didsomethinghappen?'

I dropped the call and decided to go downstairs to look for Elena.

Because I had sat for too long, I felt a head rush when I stood up.

I perked myself up, went to the elevator, and pressed the button. Soon, the elevator door opened. It just dawned on me that I had left my phone in the office, so I intended to go back to get it.

The following second, I felt an overwhelming force coming from behind me. Someone caught me off-guard and shoved me into the elevator.

"Go to hell!" the assailant shouted.

I fell to the ground heavily. Despite the pain coming from my knees and ankles, I looked up to find out who had attacked me.

At this time, the elevator door was closed and the light inside it was extinguished. I was panicking, so I couldn't see the assailant's face clearly. The only thing I was certain of was that he was a man.

Enduring the pain, I struggled to get up and hurriedly pressed the alarm button of the elevator. But no matter how hard I tried, the elevator emergency call was unresponsive.

I slammed on the door of the elevator and shouted, "Is there anybody out there? Help! Somebody! Help me. Please!"

I must've screamed at the top of my lungs already, but there was still no response. It was so dark that I couldn't even see my hands in front of me. Darkness and fear gradually eroded my sanity.

I was so scared that I squatted on the ground, buried my face in my knees, and hugged myself, feeling powerless.

The situation was so frightening.

I wondered if anyone would save me from this plight.

Elena's POV:

After having a hearty midnight snack, I went back to the company.

By the time I reached the door of Caroline's office, I sensed that something was amiss. The light inside the office was turned off.

'Did Caroline also go downstairs to grab some food?'

I opened the door and found that there was nobody inside the office. I approached the desk and saw that Caroline had left her phone on it.

'Fuck! Something bad happened. Caroline would never go out without bringing her phone with her!'

I quickly took out my phone and attempted to call someone for help, but I soon found that there was no signal.

An ominous premonition arose in my heart. 'Something must've happened to Caroline.

Someone must've planned this.' I picked up Caroline's phone and ran out of the company.

The second I got out of the building, Caroline's phone rang.

Charles' name flickered on the screen.

After a moment of hesitation, I picked up. "Mr. Moore?"

The man on the other end of the line was stunned. "Who are you? Where is Caroline?"

"I'm Elena, Caroline's bodyguard. She... she's not here."

"Wait a second. What do you mean by she's not there? Explain!" Charles exclaimed.

I was wondering if I should tell him the truth, and I could tell that Charles was getting anxious. "Tell me the truth right this instant. If anything happens to Caroline, you'll suffer the consequences!" he commanded.

'Charles is right. I do need help right now.'

"Caroline and I were working overtime in the company today. I just went downstairs to grab a bite earlier, and when I came back to the office, I found that she has disappeared and she left her phone on her desk. I think something might've happened to her," I explained.

"Damn it!"

Charles dropped the call at once.
