Jason found out that Alisa had let slip about that night, and without thinking twice, he dashed out to find Monica. Alisa tried to stop him, but the words got stuck in her throat. By the time she managed to speak, he was already out of sight.
This time, though, Alisa wasn’t too bothered. Knowing Monica and Jason, with this mess hanging between them, they were unlikely to work out. Jason was a stand-up guy, someone who took responsibility seriously, especially since he owed Will for saving his life. And Monica? She was the type who couldn’t handle any dishonesty.
After leaving the police station, Monica blocked Jason on everything and didn’t return to her salon. Tracking her down was going to be tough for Jason.
He searched for hours, checking her salon and her home, but she was nowhere to be found. With no other options, he called Anastasia. It was already ten at night.
Anastasia was puzzled when she saw Jason’s name pop up but answered anyway. “Jason, what’s going on?”
“Sorry to bother you so late,” Jason said, breathless from running around. “Is Monica with you?”
“No, she stopped by earlier but left. What happened? Did you two have a fight?”
“She blocked me, and I’ve searched everywhere with no luck. Could you try reaching her? I really need to see her,” Jason said, sounding desperate.
Anastasia sensed something serious was up. Monica wouldn’t block Jason without a reason.
Herman, who overheard the conversation, stayed silent.
“I’ll try calling her. Don’t worry,” Anastasia reassured him.
After hanging up, she looked for Monica’s number, muttering, “What’s going on with them? Monica came by earlier, saying she couldn’t reach Jason, and now he can’t find her. They’re just dating and already playing this intense game of hide and seek.”
Despite her joking, Anastasia knew something serious might be brewing.
Herman suggested, “Why don’t you give her a call?”
