Chapter 413
Sunny slept late that night, so it was already after eleven when he woke up the following day.
Since Jonathan had already reduced their workload, the members could rest at the mansion. However, Mark was nowhere to be seen during lunchtime, and Sunny was miserable.
“What's the matter, Sunny? Are you not feeling well?” one of the bandmates asked.
Sunny shook his head.
“Is Mark really leaving? Has he decided? Is there no changing his mind anymore?” Sunny asked.
He wondered if Mark would just leave the band to themselves even with so many events going on.
“Mark hasn't been around since morning. I suppose he didn't come back yesterday night. What's wrong with him?”
"I don't believe he'll leave us just like that. I'm just wondering whether something had happened to him to cause him to suddenly make this decision.”
“You guys think so too?”
It had been a whole night, but Sunny still found it hard to accept what had happened.
“Yeah. I feel something must've happened. Mark is the most devoted member of The Wheelers. I'll understand if we want to leave the band, but not Mark. I'll never believe he can do that,” a member answered.
Sunny nodded in agreement. “You're right. We have to find out the reason, no matter what. That's the only way we can solve the problem.”
“But what can we do? Mark's not here. I think if he doesn't want to tell us anything, there's no point in asking. He'll never breathe a word.”
Everyone was stumped for words, for they knew Mark like a book and were aware of how intractable he could be.
“We still have Sophie. Mark might not open up to us, but he'll definitely tell Sophie if she asks,” Sunny suggested.
Sophie was someone he trusted deeply. He believed that the issue at hand could be resolved as long as she was involved.
“We can only count on her now,” another member agreed.
“Sunny, could you give Sophie a call?”
Sunny nodded and took out his phone to make a call.
Sophie was at TS Entertainment attending to work when Sunny called, as she expected he would.
She put her work aside and went over to the window to answer the call.
"What's up, Sunny?”
"Sophie, could you please talk to Mark? We need to know what happened. I'm worried something might have happened to him.”
Sunny knew that Mark would never leave the band unless he had to.
“Don't worry. I will look into it. As I said, you only need to rest at the mansion for a few days. Also, please don't let anyone else know about this. It'll be tricky if more people get involved.”
Nobody knew what was going to happen to The Wheelers at that point.
“Got it. Don't worry! We won't say anything to anyone.” Sunny was aware that too much talking would only be harmful.
Sophie let out an audible sigh after hanging up.
Then, she made a call to Mark, who picked up the phone only after a long while.
He was still asleep in his bed when his phone rang, and it took him a while to look for his phone after the ringtone awakened him.
“Yes?” A pang of stabbing pain pierced through his head as if his skull was about to explode. He was feeling under the weather after all the alcohol.
“Where are you, Mark? Let's meet up.”
“I've said all I wanted to say, Sophie. There's no use asking more questions. My answer remains the same.”
