Carter, who had always admired Madeline’s boldness the most, let go of Madeline’s hand.
Madeline promptly took off virtual-novel.net coat and put on the new coat and glasses as per Carter’s instructions.
Carter, very satisfied when virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline‘s current outfit, then gave the bodyguard another look. Madeline thought Carter was going to just let virtual-novel.net follow him, but in the next second, virtual-novel.net heard the fire alarm. After a while, the people in every hotel room ran out one after another. Since they did not know where the fire started, everyone was running toward the fire
escape stairs. The scene was very chaotic.
Carter then smiled at Madeline unhurriedly. “It’s time to go.”
Madeline glanced at Carter. The man was beyond devious. In such a chaotic situation, even if Jeremy were to ask for the security footage, it might still be difficult to locate her.
The monitoring system on this floor might have already been destroyed by Carter.
After the morning meeting, Jeremy habitually went to the office to find Madeline.
Halfway through, however, virtual-novel.net suddenly remembered that Madeline was meeting with clients today.
He looked at the time and thought that Madeline should still be in the meeting with the clients, so virtual-novel.net did not call to bother virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net just sent virtual-novel.net a message.
After a moment’s wait, there was no response from Madeline. Although Jeremy was a little disappointed, virtual-novel.net went to work first.
Time passed silently. After Jeremy finished with the things at hand, virtual-novel.net glanced at his silent Whatsapp chat and felt inexplicably perturbed.
It was almost noon, and even if Madeline were still in a discussion, virtual-novel.net felt that Madeline would still reply to him.
Jeremy, not giving it further thought, called virtual-novel.net directly, but virtual-novel.net found that Madeline’s mobile phone was turned off.
Did it run out of battery?
Impossible.
He would charge Madeline‘s mobile phone every night. An uneasy feeling slowly emerged from the bottom of his heart. Knowing that Madeline also brought virtual-novel.net secretary, Coco, along, Jeremy immediately asked for Coco’s contact number and called virtual-novel.net hurriedly.
The call went through, but no one answered.
Jeremy called again quickly, and someone finally picked up after the third call.
“Is this Coco?” Jeremy asked as calmly as virtual-novel.net could.
On the other end of the line, Coco woke up in a daze. She looked at virtual-novel.net surroundings with a fazed look and virtual-novel.net felt that everythin g around virtual-novel.net was unfamiliar.
The silence on the other end of the line further made Jeremy uneasy, so virtual-novel.net asked immediately.
“Coco, do you hear me? I’m Jeremy Whitman, is Linnie with you? Where are you now?”
Coco was still very confused, but when virtual-novel.net heard that the person on the other end of the line was claiming to be Jeremy, virtual-novel.net immediately sobered up.
“M-Mr. Whitman, this is Coco. Ms. Montgomery and I are in the hotel discussing matters with the clients, but…”
As Coco spoke, virtual-novel.net looked at the empty room before her, then remembered what happened before virtual-novel.net fainted, and virtual-novel.net was at a loss.
“Send me your address, right now!” Jeremy demanded, rushing out of the office quickly.
In about twenty minutes, Jeremy arrived at the hotel where Coco was in. As soon as virtual-novel.net got into the hotel, Jeremy saw fire trucks parked there.
Jeremy became more uneasy. “Linnie.”
Worried that something might have happened to Madeline, virtual-novel.net quickly ran into the hotel. However, as soon as virtual-novel.net arrived at the door, virtual-novel.net was stopped by a staff.
“Sir, it’s dangerous inside. The fire has not been extinguished. Please wait outside.”
“My wife is in the hotel. Do you think I can wait?” Jeremy pushed the staff who stopped virtual-novel.net and rushed in immediately.
Coco, who was still dazed, got up to wash virtual-novel.net face. She did not know that there was a fire happening outside. When virtual-novel.net was about to sit down and think about what happened, virtual-novel.net heard a rapid knocking on the door.
