Chapter 456

“Can I just go for a walk? Please, handsome?” Anya asked. She wanted to go out to observe the terrain. So she bit her lips, acted to be pitiful and adorable, and tried to win the guard’s favor.

“You can come with me. Or use duct tape to seal my mouth, so I can’t shout out.” Anya asked with her palm folded and begged the guard.

The guard couldn’t resist the request from such a beauty as her. He agreed without a second thought.

However, he did use the duct tape to seal her mouth.

He even tied Anya’s wrists with a rope, and then he dragged her out like walking a puppy.

Once Anya was outside of the villa, she couldn’t even care about the views around. She quickly scouted the terrain around and thought, “This is like an abandoned corner of the world.”

The villa was surrounded by grass that was more than head high Those grasses were so thick that the whole villa was hidden inside. If it was not because of the river behind the villa, she seriously doubted if there was any way out of here.

But what was even more despairing was… The only way out of here was by water.

Anya thought,

“Haye you done yet?” The guard asked impatiently. He followed Anya to walk around the villa. Thankfully, there was no accident happened.

Anya turned her gaze and said in a panic, “Yes. Let’s head back.”

The minute they returned to the villa, the guard locked Anya inside the bedroom on the second floor. She was forbidden to/ go outside for even one step.

At the same time, in the Welton Group.

Jake was busying about the preparation of greeting Shyla and the arrangement of her job. He didn’t even notice that Anya was absent today.

After Jake finished the arrangement of Shyla’s job, he wanted to discuss with Anya about going to the meeting at Foxville.

Then he walked to Anya’s table and found her absence.

Jake frowned and asked the female designer beside, “Anya didn’t come in today?”

The female designer raised her head from the pile of blueprints and said, “No, I didn’t see her today.”

“Did she call in sick or anything?” Jake went on and asked.

The female designer shook her head, “No, I didn’t hear anything from her.”

“Alright, carry on your work,” Jake said. Without the answer he wanted, Jake pulled out his phone and called Anya. He didn’t want to waste any time at all.

Her phone was powered off?

What was going on?

Hearing the artificial voice of “the phone number you have dialed is not in service” from his phone, Jake frowned

immediately. He thought, “Something must be wrong.”

From his understanding of Anya.

She was not the type of person who was late to work or quit without notice.

Even for her last resignation, she gave him her resignation letter before she quit.

For this time, she didn’t show up without notice, and she didn’t answer her phone?

What exactly was going on?

Jake was worried about Anya. But she just moved recently without telling him the exact address. So he couldn’t replace her in person. He thought, “Who should I contact now?”

Jake thought for a moment. He recalled that there was an emergency contact number on Anya’s entry information form. It was Ellie’s number.

With this thought, Jake rushed to the HR department to get Anya’s resume.

Soon later, Jake found her resume, and he found Ellie’s number in the emergency contact section.

Jake dialed the number and called her right away.

In the mansion, Ellie picked up the phone, “Hi, Who is it?”

“Hi, this is Mr. Hanson calling from JK Couture. I am the manager of Anya. She didn’t show up to work today. I am

wondering if she is at home?” Jake explained his intention to Ellie in a polite manner.

Ellie was confused, “She didn’t go to work today?”

“No, she didn’t,” Jake answered.

“But she didn’t come home last night. She was at Cindy’s place,” Ellie said. Jake was in a hurry and cut her off, “Do you have Cindy’s number, so I can try to contact her?”

“Ok, here is the number.” Ellie found Cindy’s number and reported to Jake.

Jake wrote down the number and said, “Thank you, Ellie, I will try to call this number.”

Ellie said, “You’re welcome, let me know if there’s anything happened.”

“Yes, I will,” Jake hung up the phone. Then he called Cindy right away.

However, Cindy passed out in the hospital because she was worried about Anya. There was no way she could pick up the call.

Jake couldn’t get a hold of Cindy. He thought for a second and decided to call her again at noon.
