Mr. Villain's Lovely Wife

Chapter 204

"What about his office?" Pamella asked, frowning as she stood in the middle of

the boutique, still holding the fabric swatch the stylist had handed her.

Her secretary shifted slightly, holding a tablet in both hands. "Mr. Weiss hasn't returned since the day of the accident"

Pamella stared at her. "What do you mean, hasn't returned?"

"He hasn't shown up to the office. No calls. No updates. His assistant said he flew out that same night but didn't say where."

Pamella dropped the swatch on the table. "And no one thought to inform me?"

"We tried to reach him," the secretary said. "But his number's been going straight to voicemail"

Pamella walked across the room and snatched her phone off the bench. She pulled up Calen's contact and pressed the call button. It rang once-then disconnected. She tried again. Same result.

"This is unbelievable," she muttered. "The fitting was scheduled a week ago. This was the reschedule. Where the hell is he?"

The stylist stood quietly by the corner, pretending to adjust something on the mannequin.

Pamella turned to her secretary again. "Where's Cecil?"

"She hasn't returned any calls either."

Pamella blinked. "Are you telling me both of them just vanished?" That bitch Cecil had been acting all sweet. Yet now, the woman actually vanished with her son?

"Ms. Rossi's accident may

have-"

Pamella raised her hand. "Don't say her name."

The secretary looked down at her tablet.

Pamella stepped away, phone still in her grip. "Call legal. Have them freeze the PR drafts. If this wedding is falling apart, I'm not going to be the last to know."

"Yes, ma'am."
