Chapter 38

Clifford had been searching for her all night. He had checked the entire route from the restaurant back home, but there was no sign of her.

He loosened his tie, but the tightness in his chest remained. He yanked it off and threw it on the sofa.

Ziven stood nearby, saying meekly, "Mr. Lambert, maybe she'll come back on her own soon."

"You haven't found her either?"

Ziven shook his head. "The street where she disappeared has no security cameras, but we've narrowed down the general area. The team I sent out should find her soon."

"That stupid woman!" Clifford sank onto the sofa, running a hand through his hair. "She'll go with just about anyone."

Ziven glanced at him, thinking, "Now he's worried. I wonder who was the one who abandoned her at the restaurant last night."
