Chapter 112: Missing Her Again

Sean POV

The morning sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office, casting long shadows across the desk where financial reports lay untouched. I'd been staring at the same page for twenty minutes, my mind elsewhere.

Yesterday afternoon, I waited for Angela until 9 PM. Then my mother, Victoria, called, urging me to attend a dinner banquet. I had intended to cancel, but she insisted-it was crucial for a key quarterly business deal.

Before departing, I had made sure to leave my phone number with that woman called Olivia.

"If Angela comes back, tell her I want to see her," I had instructed, my voice betraying none of the urgency I felt. "This is my personal number. Contact me immediately if you hear anything."

The memory of waiting in that brownstone, so close yet so far from Angela, had kept me awake most of the night. Five years of searching, and she had slipped through my fingers again.

Thomas knocked softly before entering my office. "Mr. Shaw, your car is ready. Your lunch appointment is in forty minutes."

"I'll be leaving now," I replied, rising from my chair and adjusting my tie. "I prefer to arrive early."

The private dining room door had just opened, I turned immediately, hope rising in my chest only to be crushed when Olivia entered alone.

"Mr. Shaw, hello," she greeted warmly, approaching with a confident smile. “I didn't expect you to arrive so early."

I didn't bother returning her greeting, my eyes searching the empty space behind her. "Where is Angela?"
