"Why?" asked Nate, confused by what the guard had said.He just wanted to enter the monitoring room to see the CCTV footage there to find out where Erica had gone. So that Nate could find out what happened to his wife who suddenly disappeared and did not return after more than an hour in the restroom."Because this is a place that cannot be visited by just anyone," he said."Just anyone how? I already told you that my wife is missing and I only found a bag in the restroom. I want to see the CCTV to make sure where she went. Is that wrong? After all, I'm a customer here. Of course, I can go inside," Nate insisted.The only thing he could do was look at the CCTV footage. He couldn't go to the police station because it hadn't been one twenty-four hours. So the police would not act. Moreover, Erica was an adult woman who clearly had the right to travel and could take care of herself."I'm not sure if you are a customer here. Are you serious that your wife is missing? Because this is a fan
"WHAT?!" Nate yelled as one of the women who came out of the toilet shouted at him and accused him of peeping when he had done nothing but look for his wife's whereabouts.Nate, who had been desperate because of Erica's disappearance, could not say anything when she pushed him hard and pointed at his face while cursing him."You perverted man! Are you crazy to peek into a woman's restroom so blatantly like that? I think you're out of your mind!" she yelled while gyrating her waist.Nate didn't understand why she was calling him that when he was just standing next to the restroom door and not looking in. He had manners and knew that peeking was embarrassing and he shouldn't have done it. And indeed he didn't."Miss, I'm sorry. But I think you misunderstood," Nate tried to explain. Several other women who had come out of the restroom and were about to enter stood there looking questioningly at Nate as if they were trying to convince themselves that Nate was not peeping and was just wait
Nate massaged his temples as his head felt dizzy. He had lost hope because he didn't know what else to do to find Erica's whereabouts. He was very worried that something bad would happen to him and he couldn't bear to see his wife hurt.He wondered what else he should do to find Erica. Should he drive around again to make sure where Erica was? Who knows, she was just getting some fresh air because she was upset about what happened earlier and forgot to leave her bag in the toilet.But he couldn't get rid of his anxiety because he felt that something had happened to Erica. And it was something bad.Suddenly, Nate got an idea, he thought of going to the restaurant manager and asking for his help. Because he knew his true identity and wouldn't be bad to him, so he could definitely help him and find Erica."Right, I have to go to him immediately to ask for help," Nate said to himself, "I can't waste my time."Nate prepared to leave the restroom area, but just as he was about to walk away,
In the hotel room opposite the restaurant, Erica, who had been brought by Irene, was still unconscious lying on the bed with her legs and hands tied. She had been drugged by Irene and brought to the hotel by her subordinates. And until now, Erica is still unconscious due to the anesthetic she inhaled.Irene deliberately kidnaps Erica because she is attracted to her. At first, she thought of killing her because Erica was going to tell everyone about the women's auction she was secretly holding at the restaurant. But seeing how beautiful Erica was, Irene thought that Erica might be suitable to be the woman of Alessandro's Mafia."I'm sure I can get more money than the girls I auctioned off before. Mr. Alessandro will definitely be happy and like her," Irene said as she looked at Erica who was still unconscious.Erica had a well-proportioned body, neither skinny nor fat, her curves at the waist were so shapely that men would definitely like her. Her face was very beautiful like a red ros
The manager ordered the guards to help Nate find Erica's whereabouts. The guards checked every corner of the restaurant and the rest checked the CCTV footage together with Chevron and Nate.But what surprised them was that they didn't find the video where Erica entered the restroom. The footage was lost as Erica made a turn towards the restroom, covered by one of the passing waiters and when they checked the footage in the next place, they didn't find the piece of footage where Erica should have appeared. This was especially strange because Chevron was sitting in front of the surveillance cameras all the time so it was impossible for anyone to tamper with the footage."This can't be happening. How could she just disappear," Chevron said with his mouth agape. "I swear I sat here the whole time checking the monitors.""Then how did this happen?" asked Nate."Oh! Was it when I approached you in the restroom during the argument? I took the other guards with me so there was no one to guard
Morgan and Nate looked at Drew simultaneously, they looked very confused by Drew's words, especially Nate because he saw Drew looking very serious and confident in his words as if what he said was the truth."What do you mean?" asked Nate with a frown. "Do you not believe my analysis?""No, that's not it, sir. I'm sorry if that offends you, but I'm confident in my prediction that they're not the culprits," Drew explained in a polite and quiet tone because he respected Nate because he was his boss."That's okay, just explain to me why you think my prediction is wrong?" asked Nate, "I don't care who the culprit is, I will kill them if they dare to hurt Erica. And I just want to find Erica as soon as possible, because I can't stand this feeling of anxiety and worry."Nate clenched his hands into fists. His eyes flashed with anger, but also fear that something bad happened to Erica and he had come too late to help her. He would blame himself for the rest of his life for failing to protect
Nate furrowed his brow. He felt a little shocked to hear Drew's words about the dark world he was describing. Even as he told it, his facial expression looked terrified like it was the worst experience of his life so he would never go there again.How bad could it be that Drew said they were so horrible? Even as horrible as something was, if it involved Erica, Nate didn't care because he would destroy anything that dared to hurt his wife. And he was willing to risk his life to save the woman he loved."How bad is it?" asked Nate with an annoyed expression, on his face."Oh, sir. I'm not saying that Miss Erica has been kidnapped by one of them, but this is just a possibility that could happen because this restaurant is just a front for an auction event conducted by them," said Drew. He felt uncomfortable and felt guilty for putting Nate in a bad mood."I don't care. I just want to find Erica!" Nate snapped. "Whether they're horrible or not, I don't care," he cursed in a voice so loud t
Nate and Morgan, who had been following Drew to the back warehouse, were suddenly confused when Drew stopped walking and his gaze focused on the highway."What happened?" asked Nate as he watched Drew run out onto the highway without saying anything.Morgan squared her shoulders. "I don't know either, but it looks like he saw something," she said informally since Morgan didn't know what exactly happened to Drew either."Then let's go after him!" Nate exclaimed.He, Morgan, and some of his bodyguards ran towards Drew who was standing in front of the restaurant. They were confused because Drew was standing next to a large plant that covered his body and was busy holding a cell phone that he put to his ear but didn't say anything."Drew, what's going on? Who are you calling?" Morgan asked. She furrowed her brow in confusion at Drew's strange behavior."Shush... be quiet. I need to make sure of something," said Drew as he raised his index finger in the air as a sign for Morgan to be quiet
