After pouring a glass of wine for Dorothy, he surreptitiously sent a message to Hayden back then.
Hayden replied promptly, instructing him to âtake care of Dorothy first because he wasnât a fan of
women who struggle
As time ticked by, even after the steak had been consumed. Domthy still hadnât returned.
Things felt off to Hayden.
He shot Gabriel a look. Go see whatâs up. Check if sheâs drunk
âSureâ
With that, Gabriel rose and headed towards the restroom
However, when he entered the bathroom, he realized there wasnât a soul in sight
He instantly felt a sense of dread, but he seasoned that Dorothy, if she were to leave, would at least
say goodbye. She wouldnât just vanish
Unless the was so drunk that someone had taken her.
Quickly Gabriel took out his phone to call Dorothy. But no one picked up.
After a moment, he dialed Laneâs number. âHello, Mr. Lane.â
âYes, whatâs up?â
e, then excused herself to
âIâm the manager of Venty Holdings Limited. We were having dinner with Ms. Sanchez. She was quite
merry and had some wine, the restroom. But she hasnât returned, and sheâs not answering her phone.â
âWhat?â Laneâs tone spiked instantly. âSheâs drunk? You got her drunk?!â
Gabriel hurriedly tried to clanty âNo, we were having a good time, and Hayden happened to have a
bottle of wine for tasting Ms. Sancher wanted some, and soâ¦
âFind her immediately! Call the police if you must! if anything happens to her, I will not let. Verity
Holdings Limited off the hook
The call ended abruptly Gabriel stood dumbfounded for a moment before bolting out of the door.
After seeing him, Hayden looked past Gabriel âWhere is she?â
âSheâs gone! I tried calling her, but she didnât pick up, so I contacted the boss of East Star Enterprises.
He seemed to care a lot about Ms. Sanchez Gabriel licked his lips nervously before continuing.
âHayden, I think⦠we shouldnât mess with this woman. We canât afford to upset East Star Enterprises
over this. Letâs deny any involvement with the wine and say that she drank too much on her own.â
Hayden was naturally displeased. He was anticipating a romantic evening.
âWhat a mess youâve made!â
Im sorry, I didnât expect this. East Star Enterprises boss, Lane, seemed very concerned about Ms.
Sanchez. Maybe heâs had his eye on her for a while now. We better not compete with him.â
What else could Hayden do at this point?
He rose from his seat, wiped his mouth, and tossed his napkin onto the table. âYou handle the rest.
Follow your own planâ
âOkay, donât worry Iâll take care of it.â
Gabriel watched as Hayden left, then quickly turned to the restaurant staff. âPull up the surveillance
lootage for me. I need to see where the woman who
came with me went.â
âSure, follow me. When did you last see the lady?â
âShe said she was going to the restroom.â
The waiter paused and adopted an apologetic tone in his voice. Thereâs no surveillance camera around
the restroom area, and the one at the entrance isnât working. We might only have footage of her
heading to the restroom
Gabriel was instantly filled with a sense of regret.
He should have thought twice before scheming against Ms. Sanchez. A woman as beautiful as her
would definitely catch the eye of the boss of East Stat Enterprises. How could he have been so blind to
not see that?
