Griffon clenched his pale fingers as he lowered his arrogant face and begged Harper. "Ms. Duke, I have something very important to tell her. Could you please tell me where she is? "
Harper watched as Griffon, who was far superior to her, spoke to her in just a humble pleading tone. She was in disbelief.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she replied, "I really don't know, but I can be certain that this project of theirs is within the US. They should be back in a few days. How about you go back first, and I'll let you know once she's back?"
Griffon didn't want to waste a second. "Ms. Duke, can you contact her for me?"
On his way to the villa, he had used many different phone numbers to try to get through to Taya, but she never picked up.
Taya had blocked his work phone number and she wouldn't answer calls from unknown numbers, so he had to ask Harper for a favor.
Seeing how dedicated Griffon was, Harper was at a loss. Despite that, she took out her cell phone to call Taya.
She made consecutive calls to Taya's new and old numbers, but no one answered.
Harper wanted to give up, but Griffon signaled her to keep calling. Thus, Harper could only continue calling over and over again...
Taya was in Quezon City’s development zone. She was wearing a hard hat, bending over as she followed the architect around to survey the construction site.
She was recording data, so she didn't pay attention to her phone vibrating, nor did she take out her phone until she finished her work.
Seeing that it was Harper calling, she got up quickly and walked to a safe place before taking her helmet off to answer the call.
"Harper, what's wrong?"
Before Harper could speak, Griffon snatched the phone away from her.
"It's me. Where are you?"
When she heard that magnetic, deep and hoarse voice from the other end of the line, Taya's chest tightened.
She paused for a few seconds, then hung up the phone. It seemed like she didn't want to see him again as she pressed on the power off button heartlessly.
Seeing that she had hung up, Griffon hurriedly called again, but Taya had switched off her phone.
His heart suddenly ached to the point of him choking up. His grip on the phone tightened.
"Since Taya doesn't want to see you, perhaps you should forget about it..."
