((( KAREN POV's )))
We had just paid half of the hospital expense so the primary operation would be done. But Reymond and I still don't know where to get the money for the remaining balance.
"Mom," Sushie turned at me, "Is he Aunt Jasmin's husband?"
I looked at the show she's watching. Indeed.
"Yes he is."
"Seriously? The reward for Jasmin's whereabouts rose up again. She's so lucky with the young Zel Cantheliz so…why did she leave?" the voice came from either of the two nurses chatting with each other.
I gazed inside my bag and glimpsed at the necklace that Jasmin forgot to take with her.
Then I looked at the hospital bill I'm holding.
This must be how Rhio's feeling right now. Worried.
And just like him, I'd be willing to do anything for my son.
I'm so sorry Jasmin.
((( DEO POV's )))
I received a call from the reception at the main entrance of the Zel Cantheliz building.
"Take her to the security office first and watch her closely. I'll be going there," I answered the other line.
Somebody wanted to talk to Sir Rhio about Miss Jasmin.
They said she has proof for her claim.
When I left my office, I was immediately approached by some of my staff to give their reports or doc.u.ments whatsoever.
Everybody's busy and my task with the search for Miss Jasmin was just the tip of the iceberg.
"Sir, here's the report that Master Rhio is asking for."
I took it and saw how deep-set everybody's faces were.
Was Rhio trying to kill us with workload or pressure?
I sighed as I went straight to the security office. There was a woman.
"Hi! I'm Mr. Zel Cantheliz's secretary," I offered her a handshake.
Just like everybody else, she was also obviously stressed out.
"They told me you know where Miss Jasmin is. Is that true?"
"Yes. But I need to talk to your boss myself."
"I'm sorry Ma'am but for security purposes, you have to go through me first. I have to confirm that this isn't a prank and I don't want to strain my boss over some fake info. Many people just like you came here saying they saw Miss Jasmin."
"Well I'm not like them."
"How so?" She didn't answer me.
"Where's the proof they said you have?" Still no response.
I sighed. "Alright, I'll try to call Sir Rhio. But make sure that what you're gonna say would be worth his time."
I dialed Rhio and surprisingly, he answered immediately.
"Sir, there's a woman here who'd like to talk to you personally about Miss Jasmin..."
"Again? I'm tired of bullshits Deo."
"She said she has proof but only you should see."
