When Nina came back to the bar counter, she found that Rita was not there, she was so scared that she was totally sober. She shouted at the waiter next to her, "Did you see a girl here just now?"
The waiter widened his eyes in shock. "Didn't she leave with your friend?"
"What? Which friend?" Nina was so anxious that her scalp tingled. Every time Rita was with her, something bad would happen. She would not dare to take her out next time. If Aaron knew it, he would kill her!
'No, I can't let Aaron know this! Otherwise, I would die miserably.'
She made phone calls to Rita several times, but her phone was turned off. 'Damn it! I'm doomed! Game over!'
Nina called Frank in a hurry. He was having fun with other girls. When he noticed the phone ringing, he felt very annoyed. But when he saw the caller ID was Nina, he quickly answered it in a soft voice, "What's wrong? Why are you calling me at this late hour?"
"Frank Wei! Rita is missing!"
"Ah?" Frank didn't want to hear the news, same as last time. Last time Aaron called him with the same reason, and he had spent the whole night looking for Rita. Why did she disappear this time again? "Where did she disappear? When?"
"I... I took her out to the party for fun, and then I drank too much, and she disappeared when I go to the lavatory. I did not see her anymore when I came out of the lavatory." Nina began crying out of worry and fright. "What should I do now?"
"Don't panic. I'll send someone to look for her," Frank comforted her softly at the other end of the phone. "Why did you take Rita out to play at night? You know she is the precious darling of Aaron. If you lost her, Aaron will definitely punish you."
Frank was putting on his clothes in a fret and asking at the same time, "Where are you now? I'm coming to you."
Nina told him her location. Frank kept silent for a few seconds and then raised his voice. "You brought Rita to that kind of place? Are you feeling tired to live in the world? Do you want to die?"
"I know I was wrong."
Nina lowered her voice and said sadly, "I just want to take her out to relax. She just quarreled with Mr. Aaron. As her best friend, I wanted to help!"
"She must have been taken away by some man." Frank felt speechless about Nina. "You can't let Aaron know it, or you will be suffering. Just wait there. I'll send someone to look for her. You'd better hope that nothing will happen to her, or you will find you and me in serious trouble."
With the help of Frank, Nina calmed down a little bit. But when she thought that she did know the whereabouts of Rita, she became anxious again.
What should she do now?
Frank quickly arrived at the bar where Nina was. The bar was booked today and the party hadn't finished yet. Nina, was standing at the door of the bar, wearing a shirt and she kept calling Rita.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said, "Don't think too much. Who am I? How could I let something bad happen to Rita? I'm familiar with this area. But you need to tell me, what happened just now?"
She suddenly thought of Pitt and the man who suddenly approached them. She quickly told this information to Frank, "Pitt, right? I know this man. He is a famous Playboy and likes to play with women most. If Rita is in his hands, then it will be easy. I'll have a call."
Frank turned around and made a phone call. Looking at his back, Nina was in a trance for a moment. She felt that she sort of fell in love with Frank.
No matter what happened, he would always be the first one to appear beside her.
The two of them had their own lives, and they had their own friends and circles of life. She and Frank were not boyfriend and girlfriend, but at most they were just temporary sexual partners. However, Frank was very concerned about her business, and if something happened, he would definitely appear.
They were unwilling to maintain a stable relationship, to fall in love with people, and to be responsible for the partner, but they would pay special attention to each other.
This kind of relationship was very strange.
"Just wait. I've sent someone to look for her." Frank suddenly turned back and saw Nina standing in the wind. She bit her lips and nodded. "Thank you."
