Chapter 36 His frustration

"Are you sure you received all the shipments for this month?" Lora asked one of the personnel at the port.

She had received a lead earlier but it turned out to be a false lead. That was when she realised someone was deliberately trying to lead her in the opposite direction. So, she decided to go to the port and check for herself whether the shipment was missing or not. The personnel looked through his records and confirmed, "Yes, all the shipments arrived safely. None was lost at sea."

"Ok, did anyone from Davis & Co. sign a release document for shipment XXXXX?" Lora questioned seriously.

The man appeared to hesitate. He gulped and said, "No, Ma'am. No one has signed yet. It seems they couldn't find the shipment."

Lora frowned. "But you said all the shipment arrived."

"Yes... but yours mysteriously disappeared and no one signed for it," the man said.

"Ok... I'll search for it myself," Lora remarked, she was about to turn around when she heard a familiar voice.

"Lora!"

Lora froze when she heard Ryan's voice: She whipped around, her eyes widening when she saw him walking towards her with a worried look on his face.

'Ryan?' She asked in her mind, feeling confused. 'What is he doing here?'

"What-"

Before she could ask why Ryan was there, Ryan had reached her and grabbed her arms, concern flickering through his eyes. "Are you ok? Are you hurt? What happened?" Ryan looked at Lora's body this way and that, seemingly looking for any injuries.

eyebrows were creased in worry as he searched her body with his eyes, "Why did you scream and why was your phone off?" Lora's eyebrows met. She was taken aback by Ryan's reaction. He kept checking her repeatedly like she
