Chapter 133 How to escape? (1/2)

Jeremy was still stunned from receiving the news when his phone rang. At first, he did not notice it. He let it went unanswered. His mind was actually blank except for the news of a body that they thought was the kidnapper but with missing limbs.

The phone went quiet before it rang again. Again, he ignored it but the caller was persisted. The caller called twice more before Jeremy finally noticed the sound and answered the call.

”Jeremy~” the first thing he heard when he answered the call was his little sister's cry.

Ryn! His heart whispered worriedly. Something bad must happen to Ryn for Mika to call him so suddenly and desperately.

”What's wrong? What happen to Ryn?” Forgetting about the kidnapper that might already be dead, his focus was on Ryn's condition. His priority was always Ryn.

”Ryn is angry at me. I don't know what to do. Please, Jeremy, please come back and make Ryn forgive me back,” Mika wailed sadly.

”What did you do? Why did Ryn suddenly get angry at you? Did you do something wrong? Mika? Did you say something wrong? What did you do?”

”I... I just... she asked me about the time and... I don't know. I was thinking whether I should tell her the time or not. I'm worried that she will ask more and what if I can't answer it properly. I don't know why she suddenly so angry at me. Please, Jeremy, please come back quickly~”

Jeremy rubbed between his brows. He was getting a huge headache with the shriek and cry coming from Mika. Why can't his little sister do something so simple? Her task was only to accompany Ryn and made her forget about what happened yesterday. So simple.

Why must he do everything by himself?

”What is she doing right now?”

”I don't know~”

He frowned. ”What do you mean you don't know? Where is she right now?”

”She's locking herself in her room. It has been almost half an hour now. I tried to talk with her a few times but she refused to speak with me. Jeremy, please come back. I can't take this anymore.”

He took a deep breath to calm down.

”Fine. Stay where you are. Don't go to her or you will make her angrier. I'll go home,” he decided. Ryn was more important than anything else. He did not want his Ryn to get worst. Better he go home and make everything alright back. The things here he could leave to the others to handle.

He quickly headed toward the lift, only to bump into a very paled Mei Li. Jacob, his assistant, was following not too far behind Mei Li, and honestly, he looked even worst than Mei Li. Jeremy never thought this personal assistant of his could be so timid. It was not as if they saw the body. They only heard the description from the police, not looking at the real body.

”Mei Li, follow me. Jacob, you handle here. Arrange with the police to do a press conference once they confirm the body belongs to the kidnapper.”

”Excuse me?” Mei Li was still weak and weary from vomiting and swore she just heard something and something that was ordered for her before Jeremy left her. What did Jeremy just say?

”Mei Li, follow me,” Jeremy repeated, waving his hand to call her closer.

Jacob automatically followed behind Mei Li. He too did not hear Jeremy's words clearly just now. He thought Jeremy wanted him to follow along. He almost staggered on his way into the elevator.

He was still weak after vomiting everything he ate yesterday and this morning!

”Jacob, why are you doing here?” Jeremy asked when he saw Jacob squeezing his body to get into the elevator.

”Boss, you said to follow you,” Jacob asked back in puzzle. He looked at Mei Li who was leaning weakly against the wall. Did his boss not say that just now?

”No. Only Mei Li follows me. You stay here and take control,” Jeremy punched the button to keep the door from closing. He stared coldly at his personal assistant who looked like he was still in confusion. ”Just stay here and control the situation.”

Jacob finally understood what was requested of him. He nodded, apologized for his 'silly behaviour' and went back into the PR department office, well, more like pushing himself to walk into the office. The others had not returned yet from their 'vomiting' session. They probably still vomiting in the toilet.

He grabbed a water bottle, sat down, uncapped it, and slowly sipped it. He dared not to drink too quickly. He was afraid to vomit again. He had nothing more to vomit. His stomach was totally empty.

And he did not think he would be able to eat... not while still picturing the body of that kidnapper in his mind.

Oh no... Jacob quickly stood up and rushed back to the bathroom to vomit again.
