Chapter 187: Worst Luck Of All
Thea had been feeling uneasy ever since she went back to the City, because Chin had been missing and Leon was interrogating her about the happenings surrounding Chin’s mysterious disappearance. She was perturbed about what might have happened to Chin, but at the same time, she was also very nervous at the thought of Leon finding out about the dreadful incident that had transpired at the charity event.
"What!? Why can’t you find a single thing, you idiots!? How come none of the CCTV footage from the event are available!?" Leon shouted at his men in the living room. Thea let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Chin must have been the one who had cleaned up everything to keep Leon from finding out about what had happened between Jeru and her that night.
’Where are you, Chin?’ she thought silently. The last time she had seen Chin was when she scolded her for planning a spiteful act on her behalf without her knowledge. So she was not worried at all when she didn’t see Chin for a while after their little squabble, as she thought that Chin was just giving her the space that she clearly needed. It had never occurred to her that she would have instead gone missing.
"Don’t you dare come back without giving me anything, you morons! Get the list of all the attendees at that event! I want their names and profiles immediately!" Thea gasped in fear as she heard Leon give peremptory orders to his men. Leon must never find anything, or else they would all end up dead.
With trembling hands she dialed Chin’s number once more, but it was still off. Thea exhaled deeply before she walked to Leon to tell him that she would head back to work.
"I will assign a new assistant for you soon, while Chin is missing." said Leon before he let her go.
That was not good at all. Having a new assistant assigned to her would only mean trouble. ’Chin, where are you? Please come back safely!’ she pleaded inwardly as she hoped for Chin to somehow be well and alive.
