Chapter 126

Chapter 126

"What do you mean it's gone? Are you joking!?" Scarlett snapped

"Will I seriously make a joke about this, mum? On a day like this?" Astrid asked with frustration. "I'm telling you - I had it kept in the safe! I used the safe for a purpose because I was sure nobody could get in without my code. I don't-I don't understand." A knock came on the door again, interrupting them. Scarlett answered the door and found a maid.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but it's Mr. Cheng. He's growing impatient and needs ma'am Astrid downstairs immediately," The maid reported.

It was the third time a maid was coming to get Astrid, and Astrid knew that if her grandfather had to call for her again, it would no longer be funny.

"Tell him she's on her way." Scarlett shut the door.

Astrid's face was pale with worry. "Mum, what do I do? I was supposed to start working on those designs already, and since I didn't sketch them myself, I can't remember a thing!"

"Why didn't you try taking pictures of them?"

"Well, I wasn't expecting the sketchbook to mysteriously vanish from my safe!"

Astrid restlessly paced the room. "Someone must've found their way in," she mumbled. "I'm sure it was hacked. Because there is no way that book can just mysteriously vanish. I spent the whole night checking every corner of the room, but I couldn't find it! Someone must've taken it!"

"Do you think it's Sylvie?"

"I don't know." She dug her fingers into her hair. "I don't think she's capable of doing something like that. I don't even know what to think right now, mum."

Šilence fell between them with Astrid still pacing the room.

She was losing her mind. This was not good.

She finally went downstairs to meet her grandfather who was fuming. If there was one thing Galen hated, it was having to wait for too long, especially on important matters.
