Chapter 699 Missing

Rayne knew Christina had put someone on Anya’s trail and that almost everyone knew about Anya’s ugly deeds.

Unaware of Christina’s somber expression, Rayne continued, “Anya seemed to have met some big shot. It was impossible to miss her flirtatious expression. If only the light wasn’t so dim, then I could’ve gotten a clear look at the person she was meeting.”

Considering how drunk Rayne was the night before, spotting and recognizing Anya in the crowd was already a stroke of luck.

“Which bar did you go to?” asked Christina. She wondered if Anya’s companion was the same person who bailed her out of the station.

Rayne racked her brains but could not remember anything else. She replied dejectedly, “Ah, I’m sorry. I can’t remember. My friend brought me to that bar after a dinner appointment, so my head was already kind of fuzzy. I’ll ask my friend about it..

“It’s imperative for me to know who Anya met at the bar, Rayne. Please try to get the bar’s name and address for me as soon as possible,” urged Christina.

“Don’t worry. I’ll call my friend right after this.” Rayne was determined not to let her boss down.

Relieved, Christina bid her assistant farewell. “Then I’ll make a move.” She took the elevator to the Gibson Corporation offices.

As usual, she signed off on the important paperwork and headed home.

The key departments in Gibson Corporation were run by Christina’s most trusted subordinates, so she was never worried about the company’s operations.

On the way home, Christina suddenly said to her bodyguard, “Could you please stop the car, Lyle? I’d like to buy something.”

Lyle dutifully parked the car at the side of the road and addressed her, “It’s cold outside, Mrs. Hadley. What would you like to buy? I can get it for you. Just wait in the car.”

Christina’s gaze traveled to a nearby cake shop that had a long, snaking queue out its door. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded and said, “I’d like to buy some egg tarts from that shop for Lucas and Camila. Thank you.”
