Chapter 198 An Intimate Yet Awkward Atmosphere

After Luke's car left the courtyard, the workers lost all mood to sleep.

The boss had arrived suddenly, and he had departed from the scene just as quickly, like a passing gust of wind.

However, they were inexplicably nervous.

It felt as though their boss was conducting a spot check on their work.

They thought that their performance was not up to standard, and it was unacceptable in their boss's eyes.

Joe could not contain his curiosity anymore and asked his colleagues, "How's the relationship between our boss and his Cayenne-driving cousin?"

His colleagues all shook their heads.

"How would we know?" One of the female colleagues answered. "The boss has always kept his personal life a secret. Even the paparazzi couldn't find out anything."

All that was known about their boss's personal life was a photograph exclusively published in a recently popular magazine, showing their boss bringing his son and daughter out for breakfast one early morning.

Many female workers in the office bought the magazine and browsed through it at work. They thought that their boss, who was not only handsome and capable, but was also a single father who doted on their children, was extremely manly and attractive.

That female colleague was one of the workers who had a crush on their boss. She placed the photograph on her work desk and looked at it occasionally, using it as an encouragement to work harder and improve herself so that she might find an outstanding man like her boss.

Joe pondered over the situation. He did not feel sleepy at all. He went back to his room to retrieve a jacket and told everyone, "Does anyone want to follow me to search for Bianca? We're in this town as a team. What if Bianca went out alone so late at night and found herself in danger?"

If something happened to Bianca, it would be hard for them to explain to their superiors!

The small town might be honest and down-to-earth, but that did not mean that everyone there was a good person...

Bad people existed in every corner of the world. The difference was a matter of proportions...

The female colleague volunteered herself. "I'll follow. When we went to the wet market with Bianca earlier, she told us where her old house was. We even passed by the entrance. I'll bring you there."
