The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 555

After Emelyn’s grumble, she continued, "I have to admit that Taya is quite brave. She stood stunned for a while before rushing to the door of the restaurant, probably to demand an explanation face-to-face, but she was stopped by the security."

"This is my fault. Out of consideration that someone might eavesdrop on our conversation, I booked the venue, and for fear that members of the organization would come to me at any time, I reminded the guards to only allow whoever handed the invitation card over to enter. As you know, the invitation card is the secret code of the organization..."

The screen swiftly turned to the scene where Jessica stopped Taya from knocking on the glass. Seeing so, Emelyn turned around and landed her palm on Jessica for another slap.

"You know that the restaurant is equipped with LOW-E glass, and not only did you not tell Taya, you stopped her. D*mn it!"

Jessica suffered from such a vicious beating that she was rendered at a loss of fighting back. The pain in her fingers, wrists, and cheeks forced her to lie on the ground, unable to speak a word.

After giving Jessica a slap, Emelyn looked away and returned her gaze to Griffon who was trembling all over again.

"I’m sorry. When we left the restaurant, I was the one who requested everyone to put on wireless headphones so that it’d be more convenient for all of us to get in contact, so when Taya ran from behind, trying to catch up and calling your name, no one noticed. Plus, the sound of the rain that night was too loud, so we couldn’t hear her voice while we were talking to the headquarters."

Griffon stared at the monitor the whole time without saying a word as he watched Taya running behind him all the way and ended up tripping over into a muddy puddle. His heart ached so much for her that his eyes were red-rimmed.

It turned out that not only did she visit the restaurant, she tried her best to catch up with him, which he failed to notice at that time...

Griffon tightened his grip on the tablet, shuddering uncontrollably, as his trembling fingers stroked the desperate she-wolf on the screen.

He stared closely at her figure, to see that not long after, she braced herself to get back up, staggering all the way to the hotel.

Although she was disappointed to the extreme, she had never given up on searching for him.
