When the voice fell, and even before Rex could think properly, the phone in his hand vibrates, he looks down to found that it is Orson.
He picks it up and hears Orson anxious voice, which is rare, “Where are you? I’ve called you 800 times and no one answered. I thought you had dissected by Karl! Did you know something big had happened?”
After so many years befriend with him, he only sees Orson anxious for several times, which make Rex realized that this matter is serious, but his tone stays still, “What’s the matter?”
“The picture of you and Lily had been captured by someone at the airport. When you had just left, the latter had published in the headlines. The entire front page of the news is you and Lily. Now there are tons of people at the company that wanted to meet you and Lily. Since you’re not here, I didn’t know what to do, Lily also can’t make decision, she is about to be crazy.”
Orson’s voice rings intermittently in his ear, only the word ‘Lily’ is on his mind. Even though he hadn’t read the new, he knows how helpless she is now.
When she needs him the most, he was not there!
His heart seem to be held tightly by an invisible hand, it is sore and stuffy, even the breathing is oppressive.
Thinking of what she might encounters or encountering, Rex feels regret for the first time. If he knew that Tim has this method, he would not let her alone!
Thinking of Tim, his eyes flashes fiercely, “Got it, I’ll go back now.”
When Rex is about to hang up, Orson shouts at him, “You will take more than ten hours to come back, tell me how to handle it, I’ll let the company issue a statement.”
“What to handle? Just do as it goes.” Rex says in his poor tone, his face is somber that it might drip water. “Tell them, Lily is mine, whoever wanted to hurt her has to face me first.”
Karl who is still looking at the information just now, by hearing this, he couldn’t help but look at him. He raises his brows and couldn’t help but smile while shaking his head. Rex sometimes is either good or bad. When she is in trouble, he could fight against the world for her, but he is too arbitrary.
“What about her?”
“I don’t know, she didn’t come to work today. I guess there are some paparazzi on your house.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone with Orson, Rex immediately calls Lily. Her sweet and soft voice is not heard but is replaced by a cold female voice—
“Sorry, the user you dialed is not available—”
Rex’s face freezes instantly, the whole person exuded a terrifying cold atmosphere. She doesn’t answer her phone, nor can be reached, and he, who is in the States, feels helpless.
“Damn it!”
Karl looks at his about to murdered people face and stands up. “What happened?”
Rex says vaguely, “I’ll let them prepare a plane, we’re going back.”
Karl blinks as watching the man walks out the office quickly, even the hatred is leaving with him. The only person that could make Rex anxious is only Lily.
What happened to that little girl?
Even without typing Lily’s name, it is appeared on today’s headline news. One article, two articles, three articles, all of which are her and those comments and statements are quite harsh.
The smile on Karl’s face also dissipated. He had a hunch that when Rex goes back, Tim might be a corpse.
……
After Orson reached Rex, he immediately asks Joe to navigate Lily’s position, it displays the Villa, which put him at ease.
