Juan's lips quirked into a brief smile. "Sure. Whatever you want."
Shelia blushed, feeling a rush of triumph, but their moment was interrupted when the door creaked open again.
Joe stepped inside cautiously, only to freeze under Juan's steely gaze.
"What's so urgent that you forgot how to knock?" Juan's voice cut through the air like a blade.
Joe stiffened. "I apologize, sir, but there's an issue at the Houston family's engagement party."
Her interest piqued, Shelia asked, "What happened?"
Joe replied, "It seems Mr. Houston and Ms. Frazier are missing."
"Missing? How is that possible?" Shelia said, observing Juan's expression.
But he remained unruffled. "So what? It's not our concern."
"Understood."
"You can go."
"Yes, sir."
Once Joe left, Shelia asked tentatively, "Debra is missing. Do you not care at all?"
Juan replied indifferently, "She's no one to me. Why should I?"
Shelia's heart soared, her face lighting up with joy as she leaned into him, whispering, "I knew it. You're the best."
But as she nestled against him, she failed to notice the brief, chilling darkness that flickered in Juan's eyes.
At the airport, a frantic search was underway.
