In the hotel.
Her colleagues raised their glasses together and cheered, "Today is the first day that Naomi officially joins our big family. Therefore, we must drink until we're drunk!"
Naomi shook her head and tried to stop them, "We still have work tomorrow! Drink moderately!"
"Madam Leon, what do you say?"
Cynthia smiled and replied, "Tomorrow, everyone in our department can be late for half an hour! However, don't drink too much. If there's any delay in your work, I won't forgive you!"
After saying so, Cynthia picked up her bag and stood up.
"My children are still waiting for me to go back to take care of them. I'll take my leave first!"
When Cynthia was there, many people were unable to act freely. After she left, everyone started to let go of themselves.
All of them grabbed their glasses and headed towards Naomi, wanting to get her drunk.
As a result, everyone ended up in a drunken mess and Naomi was the only one who was sober.
Naomi shrugged her shoulders. When she had lived with Leslie, she would often practice drinking alcohol with him. Who would've thought that he could drink so well?
She had only consumed ten percent of her tolerance but everyone else was already drunk.
Naomi put her hand on her forehead. After thinking about it for a while, she went to call for the waiter.
"Please help me arrange some rooms for my colleagues to rest in! I'll pay with my card!"
When the waiter saw that she was a VIP customer, he dared not to neglect her request. He immediately arranged for people to settle her colleagues down accordingly.
Naomi left and called for a taxi home after she made sure everything was settled.
Just as she was waiting for the taxi, her mobile phone rang.
On the other end came Richard's anxious voice. He said, "Miss George, have you seen Mr. Luther?" Naomi was taken aback as she replied, "Nelson? No, I haven't! We have not contacted each other today! What's the matter?"
Richard was stunned for a while, and then he said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Luther might have gone missing!"
"What?" Naomi was shocked. She quickly said, "What are you talking about? Why has he gone missing for no reason?"
Just yesterday, things had been well!
"It's true! Mr. Luther might really have disappeared! I haven't been able to contact him, and his bodyguards haven't seen him either! What should I do? It'd be troublesome if all this was done by that person!"
"That person? Who?" Naomi asked.
Richard realized that his tongue had slipped and instantly paused before continuing, "You should ask Mr. Luther about this matter for yourself in the future. The most urgent thing now is to find Mr. Luther immediately. I will send for someone..."
"Wait a moment!" Naomi stopped him. "You are unfamiliar with Rosaville City. If you could find him yourself, you would have done so already. Let me think of a way! Please calm down first and think of anywhere that Nelson would have gone!"
After she hung up on the call, Naomi immediately searched her contact list.
She first found Amos' phone number, yet at the moment she wanted to press it, she paused.
Amos had always disliked Nelson. If he were to find out that something had happened to Nelson, his impression of Nelson might even worsen!
Forget it!
Below his contact was Charlie and Clint, and she immediately scrolled past their names too.
Both of them were Amos' trusted subordinate. If they knew about this, then Amos would too!
In the end, Naomi cast her eyes on Leslie. He had always taken good care of her. When she was a child, Master Clarke and herself had many secrets together that her parents did not know of.
Besides, Master Clarke had a lot of subordinates.
Naomi finally gave Leslie a call.
