279. The One Who Is Missing 

Enya‘s POV: 

“Oh My God!” I have been freaking out ever since I saw the dead body on the ground and Christina crying in the corner. 

“Maynard! No!” I was still in disbelief at how he ruined his life in a matter of minutes. 

“Maynard! Where is he?” Lazlo rushed towards me and whispered in my ear. I shared a sad look with him because I knew Maynard had messed up big time. It was too obvious what had happened here. 

 

We need to take care of Christina first,” I told Lazlo, running through the crowd and reaching her. 

“Get away from her.” Zander was already trying to push others away from his sister, but they were all gathering around and gossiping. 

“Did she do this?” a girl asked in panic, stepping away in fear. 

Mr. Tripper‘s body was all messed up. It has to be Maynard‘s job. One could tell he had found Christina in his office. I was able to peek inside and see her clothes on the floor. She was only wearing Maynard‘s shirt right now and was crying her heart out. 

“We should take her back to the room. The cops will arrive soon,” | told Zander, who nodded his head and supported his sister on her feet. She kept falling to her knees and crying. 

“Pick her up,” I suggested, and he did so. I turned around and noticed Thiago had walked out of here. Maybe the sight of blood was too much for him. Lazlo and I made sure nobody got in
