Chapter 11″ Seeing her again

“Any news?” Aaron asked the same question he’s been asking ever since they returned from Whitpalm City two weeks ago.

Enock pushed his glasses up, gulping as he braced himself to answer. He knew the boss was about to be moody after telling him the words he didn’t want to hear.

“There’s nothing, Sir.” Enock answered gingerly.

“Have you called the search team already?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Have you checked with the media houses? No one called to have seen her?”

“Yes, Sir. I started checking with the media houses first.”

The temperature in the office dropped to a negative. Aaron’s eyebrows wrinkled tightly and his jaws clenched.

“Have you checked her old house in the Countryside? Maybe she went back there.”

“Sir, I’ve meticulously checked everything that could help us find Tessa.”

At the way he casually called her name, Aaron arched an eyebrow at Enock, his eyes narrowed dangerously at him, compelling him to change his words.

“I – I mean, Miss Hilton.”

Aaron only retracted his icy gaze after Enock addressed her properly. He had told him she was the future lady boss so he should practice addressing her accordingly.

“Have the guys manning the airports and the harbor contacted you?”

Enock wanted to yell in frustration. His boss was going crazy trying to look for a woman who had disappeared for five years! Nevertheless, he still preferred the mystery woman to Serena Winston who was a pretentious vixen.

“Sir, there’s been no positive news about Miss Hilton’s location so far.”

Aaron felt like a hand was squeezing his heart. He took in a sharp breath, feeling like someone was pricking needles into his heart. If he knew losing Tessa would make him feel like he was dying, he wouldn’t have taken her for granted.

He glanced at his phone, his eyes looking rather expectant as if he was waiting for a call. A smile crossed his lips when he recalled the new little friend he made last time…

Unfortunately, she hadn’t called as promised. Aaron was surprised about why he would wait for her call too.

Perhaps he craved to have a family of his own with Tessa. So he felt a deep connection with the little girl. whose eyes reminded him of her.

Just then, the phone on his desk suddenly rang and his smile curved downward, his eyebrows creasing. His mood suddenly dropped seeing that Serena was calling and a chilling aura emanated from his body.

‘How dare she call me after what she did?!”

Aaron had never blocked anyone on his phone before because he thought it was childish. But after what

Serena tried to pull when she blackmailed him to go out for dinner with her over the weekend, it was better to cut her off.

“Flashback to the previous weekend”

Aaron was having some drinks with his friends at the club but his phone kept on ringing. He pulled it out of his pocket and when he saw who was calling, his gaze darkened and he left it to ring without picking up.
