Pregnant and Abandoned but the Billionaire to the Rescue novel Chapter 22

Jason got to the office the next day earlier than usual because he wanted to see where he could place Nancy and where she would not have to stress herself overmuch but he was surprised to find that his most trusted and efficient secretary, Mrs Amos, who was always the first to arrive had still not arrived.

This was quite unlike her. He had decided as he drove to the office this morning that he was going to get Nancy to assist Mrs. Amos. She was very efficient it was true and she had never given him cause for complaints but it was also true that she was getting on in age and needed someone to assist her. He had thought about this before but had not really been serious about implementing it because he had been busy with other things which was quite unlike him because those he was a strict boss who likes his employees to be disciplined, he was also not one to take the welfare of his staff lightly.

Now, there was no reason for him not to get Mrs. Amos an assistant. Nancy had said that she had a knowledge of typing having gone for secretarial studies at one point in her life.

Mrs Amos could put her through and she could do some of the jobs till she was perfect.

Jason was happy. Now he was going to solve two problems with just one move.

Nancy would get the job she wanted and he would get an assistant for Mrs. Amos.

'Has Mrs. os still not reported for duty this morning?' Jason asked some of his staff.

'We have not seen her today'. they said.

'Has anyone been able to get her on the phone?'

'Still not available sir'.

This was not right. Something was terribly wrong. Even if Mrs. Amos was travelling or in trouble,she would at least have called to inform him definitely.

He had assumed that it was an emergency yesterday and that was why she hadn't come to work nor called to inform him but today again? It was just unlike her and he was determined to find out. When he finds out exactly what kind of problem, his secretary was in, then he could get Nancy to get started at work.

'But what if she was anxious to hear from him?' Jason thought.

He could not give her Mrs. Amos' job until he had found out what it was that had kept her away from work.

'But I could at least ask her to come to the office and wait for me definitely? It would keep her hope alive and she would also have people around she could chat with', he thought to himself. But that would mean going to pick her up and he wanted to go and visit his secretary to assure himself that she was okay.

'Why not do both at the same time? he thought. The way to Mrs. Amos's house was a different way from that of Nancy but he would see how he could manage it.

He drove first to Mrs. Amos' apartment but found it locked. He asked the neighbours if they had seen her or know anything about her but no one knew anything about her whereabouts.

'This is strange', Jason thought.

He tried the door and found that as opposed to what he had thought, the door was not locked from the outside but the inside.

The implication was that someone was still inside.

He knocked on the door loudly several times but got no answer.
