After a few rounds of drinking, the women were a little drunk.
Crystal was a little befuddled by the drink. She lay on the table and looked around. Suddenly, she found that Christina was not there.
She immediately perked up. "Has Christina been in the bathroom for a long time?"
Penny was half-drunk and chewing on the meatball, shouting that she couldn't waste it. She replied slowly, "I don't know."
"Brianna is not here either..."
"I saw Christina drag Brianna out. It looked like she wanted to press Brianna with questions."
Penny burped. "What's the relationship between Christina and that Brianna? I feel that they know each other well and yet have a distant relationship. Christina was speaking something with a peremptory note in her voice. I feel pity for Brianna."
Crystal was drunk and had a headache. She hurried to the bathroom to look for them with an unsteady gait.
She searched a few cubicles but did not find them.
She was afraid that something terrible had happened. Just then, Rachel came out from the other side. "Christina was very drunk. I saw someone carrying her and Brianna away just now."
Rachel pointed to the window. Outside the window, a black Porsche drove away quickly.
"Who took them away?" Crystal was so stunned that she almost sobered up.
This was really terrible.
Crystal rummaged around in her bag for her cell phone while thinking about whom she should call. She lost Christina and Brianna. It was a disaster.
Penny didn't think it would be a big deal. "Maybe they met someone they knew and left together. You know how unreliable Christina is. They are both adults. Plus, Christina is no pushover. Don't worry."
"Their bags are still here." Rachel went back to the private room and found Christina's and Brianna's bags. They must have been taken away in a hurry.
Crystal was even more anxious now.
Her first reaction was to call Chandler. "We had dinner together... Christina was drunk, so she went to the bathroom. Someone took her away."
"The car was too far away. I couldn't see the license plate number... It looked like a Porsche..." Crystal was not very sober. She tried her best to recall more information.
"Chandler, come over now and help me find them... Brianna is also gone." Crystal urged him on the phone.
If Patrick knew that Christina had been lost during the dinner party with her, then... Crystal was under great pressure.
No matter how drunk Penny was, she could now tell from Crystal's attitude that this was serious.
"Are they rich? Did someone take the advantage and kidnap them?" Penny guessed.
Crystal broke down. "No! Oh, god, no."
Penny was dumbfound. Could they really be kidnapped?!
Fifteen minutes later, Chandler rushed over, and behind him was Patrick.
When Penny and Rachel saw the two men, they were shocked and confused. Their clothes, the way they talk... were all extraordinary. Especially the second one, Christina's husband...
"Is that really Christina's husband?"
Penny felt that maybe her mind was in such a mess from all the drinking that she found the man like an angel coming down to the earth.
He looked much nobler than the big boss of her company. He could only be appreciated at a distance but was not to be dallied with.
Rachel was also shocked for a few minutes. She sat in a corner and watched the man in astonishment.
If she remembered correctly, this seemed to be... Patrick Hopkins, from the Hopkins family.
When she was a child and her family was still rich, she had attended some banquets, and seen Patrick in the distance. Every time he appeared, he would soon become the focus of attention. Those boys of the same age liked to get close to him. But this eldest grandson of the Hopkins family had always been very low-key and indifferent to outsiders.
"Christina's husband is from the Hopkins family... No wonder Crystal is so nervous." Rachel muttered to herself.
Rachel and Penny didn't get close, not daring to disturb Patrick and the others.
Patrick stood there. He didn't say anything and his face was gloomy. The owner of this restaurant ran back and forth several times with cold sweat.
"... The security camera in our restaurant is broken." In order to save money, he had not repaired the camera after it stopped working. But now someone suddenly asked to see the surveillance footage, looking for some missing persons. He was really scared.
"How did you get the business license?" Patrick asked in a cold voice.
The owner was so scared that he couldn't say a word. Actually, he was running a legitimate operation. He just committed a momentary oversight.
Chandler understood the difficulty of conducting business with small capital. This was just an honest mistake. But once offending someone as powerful as Patrick, the owner could easily get crushed.
He guessed, "Could it be Derek who send someone here?"
