Chapter 15

“Okay,” I said just as Claire hung up.

I went to look for her on the tenth floor. Claire shook my hand and ushered me into a small office.

She was wearing a necklace. When I looked closer, I realized it was made from titanium. Not silver.

Was the management of the Hall Corporation really this tyrannical? Just because their President was allergic to silver, everyone could not wear silver? Just because they were afraid that their employees would talk about missing people and affect the company’s reputation, that’s why they didn’t hesitate to threaten the employees with expulsion?

“Emma, I’m very sorry.. I should have looked for you when you first arrived at the office this morning, but we had a very important meeting at the last minute. Now I need to tell you some things to take note of. Firstly, you can’t use silver products because our President is allergic to silver.” She handed me a notice sheet, same one as the one that I found in the small room.

“Isn’t this far too autocratic?” I asked.

“If you can’t agree with it, you can leave anytime,” she said firmly, sounding like this was a non-negotiable matter.

“What if we have a new President?”

“That’s none of your business. Secondly, the 18th floor is the President’s office. The President gets off work on time, so he’s definitely not around after work, so please don’t go to the 18th floor after work. Of course, the President’s assistant is responsible for locking the 18th floor, so no one can enter. What I need to tell you is that if you smash the door or use any other methods to enter the 18th floor, you will be held responsible, legally.”

Claire’s eyes were sharp, and there was a strange glint in them. It seemed like this had happened before.

My instincts told me that there might be something that I need in the President’s office.

“Thirdly…”

Everything else was related to my work and responsibilities, so I didn’t really care. The only thing inside my head was about how to get into the President’s office.

Half an hour later, I left the HR department. I entered the elevator, and pressed the button for the 18th floor. Just as I’d expected, the button wasn’t working since it was already after work hours, so I pressed for the 17th floor.

When I got to the 17th floor, I crossed the stairwell and climbed the stairs to the 18th floor. The emergency exit on the 18th floor was also locked, so I couldn’t push it open. I pressed my ear against the door to listen for any sounds inside. Nothing.

Seems like I need to find another way to enter the President’s office.

I decided to go back to the small room and continue looking through the documents. On the way back, I went to the toilet.

Just as I sat on the toilet seat, I heard rapid breathing sounds from outside. I could hear a female voice. “This is the female toilet. Hold on.”

With that, she started yelling in the toilet. “Hello?”

I was about to respond, but before I could say anything, a man suddenly said, “No one, honey…” Then there was the sound of the cubicle door being pushed open, the sound of clothes being pressed together, and then some kissing sounds.

I closed my eyes and shook my head. Seriously? Were these people in such a hurry? They actually started doing this in the company’s toilet.

However, I was in a dilemma. If I went out now, they would definitely be embarrassed and might even hold a grudge.

“Oh ~ oh ~ Your pinches are a little painful…” The female voice cried out softly.

I was considering whether I should cover my ears.

“Your breasts are so beautiful. I’m going to eat them.” Then came the sound of him nibbling, accompanied by a slight moan from the female.

Without hesitation, I covered my ears and pulled out my phone to look for news, to see if there was anything new about the missing people.

However, the bathroom was small. Even when I had stuffed some toilet paper in my ears, I could still hear some sounds from outside. In the quiet toilet, the suppressed breathing was more erotic.

“So wet? Looks like you can’t wait!”

“Oh ~ bastard, come quickly. I’m feeling good today.”

“I’m coming!”

“Oh! Oh my god, you’re in! Oh my god…”

I rolled my eyes and tried to drown myself in the glow of my phone.

There’s a constant banging outside. After another ten minutes or so, the voices quietened down. I don’t find any new articles. My heart ached as usual.

I could hear them putting on their clothes. I was finally going to be free.

At that moment, the female said, “Have you heard? The new President is going to take over.”

“Who did you hear that from?”

“Claire from human resources. They were all called to a meeting this morning to talk about it. The notice should be out soon.”

“That’s strange. Why did they change the President so easily?”

“The President hasn’t been coming to the company recently. It’s already very strange. It’s probably a feud between rich and powerful families.”

They then left the washroom.

I immediately linked the replacement of the President to Abraham’s disappearance. Was there some sort of connection?

Suddenly, Mylo called.

I picked up the call. Mylo questioned me, “Where are you?”

“At the office.”

“I heard that you went to work today, so I wanted to pick you up from work. I’ve been waiting downstairs for three hours.”

I didn’t expect Mylo to pick me up. I immediately lied. “Oh, well, I’m not at the office anymore. I went out to visit a client this afternoon.”

“I already asked them. You resigned.” Mylo sounded even more stern. “Where are you?”
