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.

All this fuss… Gerald couldn’t get his head around it. Josephine was already a grown-up, not a three-year-old, yet Lewis got all worked up just because she went missing for a second.

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.

He made a copy of the footage and showed it to Lewis. Lewis simply glanced at the footage before hurling the tablet back at him and leaving the room. Gerald gathered some people to search the stairs.

Lewis started searching from the eighteenth floor and headed up while Gerald’s men searched upward from the first floor.

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.

Seth returned to both of them sitting together in an unsettling atmosphere.
