Hugh was horribly drunk when he returned the night before. He did not want to get drunk, but that client was too annoying. Every time the other party got excited about something, he would force Hugh to drink.
Even though Hugh could hold his liquor well, he could not take it when there was too much to drink.
He had always practiced moderation when drinking. If it was not for this international contract, he would never have allowed himself to drink so much.
Hugh kept trying to reason with his client, but the client kept making Hugh drink when he got into the mood. Hugh forced himself to go along with the client as he could not lose his temper with someone so important.
However, something was wrong. He remembered hugging Chelsea to sleep the night before. Why did she disappear today?
He suddenly remembered that Chelsea had stopped speaking to him since the night before, and she did not call him on the phone for the entire day.
Something was very wrong…
Hugh tried to find some clues in the hotel room. When he found a tube of lipstick on the ground, a thought occurred to him. He opened the lipstick and saw that it had been broken in half.
This was Chelsea’s favorite lipstick. Hugh had given it to her for Valentine’s Day.
Chelsea loved it. Why would she throw it on the ground?
The more Hugh thought about this, the more unsettled he felt. He opened the cupboard to find that Chelsea’s clothes were gone. All that was left were his clothes.
Chelsea had left… Hugh was still in disbelief. He was suffering from a hangover, but he forced himself to clear his mind.
However, Chelsea said nothing about this, and it worried Hugh even more.
He quickly wrote a short message and sent it to her: [Where are you, Chelsea? Why did you turn off your phone? I could've accompanied you if you wanted to go to Charleston. Why did you leave without a word? Do you have any idea how worried I am?]
It took him quite a while to finally craft the perfect message. He clicked the send button, only to find out that she had blocked his number. Hugh fell like the sky was falling.
What was going on with Chelsea? Even if he did do something wrong, she should have talked to him about it.
Hugh kept thinking back on Chelsea’s condition before and did not find anything strange. What blow did she suffer to do this? Hugh did not have time to think about the details. He immediately got his assistant to book him on a flight to Charleston.
However, his assistant came back with bad news and informed him that the flight tickets for Charleston had been fully booked. The earliest flight was the next day at eight in the morning.
