"Okay, chief secretary."
Several security guards then left and returned to their respective posts.
Juanita was all alone, sitting in the middle of the charity venue, surrounded by the empty space, as she continued to look through the blurry surveillance footage.
What was certain was that there were several people going back and forth to the back garden. Judging from their heights she thought it should be a man and a woman, but she could not see clearly who they actually were.
Her eyes rolled and she thought of someone. She picked up the phone and dialed Karl's number.
After a while, Karl picked up the phone.
"Julia, is there anything wrong?" He asked.
"Are you busy now?" Juanita inquired.
"Not at all."
Karl's tone was gentle.
"Here's the thing. Last night, Rachel from the orphanage went missing. It is not yet time to call the police. I found a surveillance footage inside the venue, but the picture is blurred. It is not possible to see who it was in the back garden last night. So I just wonder whether it’s possible for your technical department to fix it?" Juanita asked.
"Not necessarily. It depends on the situation. Why don’t you send me the video first. I'll try my best to help you to recover it."
Karl said.
"Good. I'll send it to you later."
Juanita was just about to hang up the phone.
Suddenly, a mushy, husky voice rang out from behind her, "Chief secretary, who are you calling?"
The man came close behind her ear, and made a flirtatious blow into her neck. When she heard the sound he made, she got goosebumps all over her body.
Juanita was so shocked that her phone slipped and fell to the ground.
She turned around and saw that the man was actually Mr. Clark of the charity party. She was slightly angry, "Mr. Clark, you scared me. Why did you just jump out of nowhere like that?"
