What Separates Me and You

Chapter 307 Taken Away

Lewis frowned. He briskly entered the room. It was empty, and so was the bedroom.

“How …” Gerald rubbed his eyes and hastily explained, “I’ve been keeping watch downstairs and never saw her come down!” Trembling, he lifted his eyes to look at Lewis and noticed Lewis’ ferocious glare. Gerald shuddered and said, “I … I… I’ll check the surveillance footage…

Then, Gerald darted toward the control room while dialing the hotel manager’s number.

Hardington was turbulent but only where the hustle and bustle were or in remote areas. It was safe within the vicinity of his hotel.

However, there was no sign of her in the elevators. Therefore, she might have taken the stairs. instead.

Gerald also checked the surveillance footage in the lobby, just in case. He was slightly relieved after discovering Josephine had never exited through the hotel lobby.

They searched for over an hour, leaving no garbage can unturned, but still found no signs of Josephine.

Lewis searched his way down again from the top floor to the lobby.

He rubbed his temple as he sat on the lobby sofa. Although he said nothing, Gerald was

already sweating profusely.

Gerald said softly, “Don’t worry, Chairman Alvarez. I’ve sent some men to search every single floor. We’re checking the surveillance footage too. We’ll find her, for sure.”

Lewis, his eyes closed, ignored him while he rambled on.
