Chapter 81
She had really gone too far.
When he discovered that she had disappeared, he called her. But the phone was disconnected right after she answered. He realized that something was wrong and immediately sent his men to look for her. Right at this moment, he got a call from Shane.
In a moment like this, Bryson failed to control his temper and yelled at Shane over the phone.
After Shane found out about what happened, he immediately suggested that they could use the help of one of his acquaintance, the chief of the police department nearby, who then sent someone over as soon as possible.
When Bryson and the police found Audrey, she was held at gun point by the kidnapper. When Bryson saw her from across the room, he almost had a heart attack.
He should really teach her a lesson so that she knew she couldn't just do whatever the hell she wanted.
However, he couldn't stand the idea of laying a hand on her.
Audrey, however, didn't even seem to be traumatized. She just kept on thanking the others who came to her rescue and didn't show him the slightest bit of gratitude, which completely set him off.
Finally, Bryson removed his lips from hers, and whispered something to her ears in a hoarse tone, "Thank God, you are okay." He sounded relieved.
Audrey didn't know what to say.
And when she tried to push him away, she could feel that Bryson's arms were trembling slightly, holding her close. Her hands paused and let him be.
Bryson was genuinely worried sick about her safety.
Audrey softened towards him. And she felt something weird rushing into her mind.
Finally, she raised her hand and patted Bryson's back gently.
"Bryson, I'm really okay. Don't worry about me."
Bryson held Audrey in his arms and didn't say anything.
After a while, Bryson slowly let her go.
And he stopped sulking anymore as he saw her swollen lips.
Audrey was finally relieved and then coughed softly trying to make the situation less awkward, "Well, Mr. Bryson, it's time for lunch. Shall we go have lunch first before we continue?"
"Alright!"
Audrey was smart enough not to mention that kiss. She knew that no matter what, she wouldn't get the answer that she had always wanted.
What Audrey had with Bryson was too delicate. So, she was happy with what they had now and didn't want to do anything that might spoil it.
...
In the evening, Audrey and Bryson returned to the hotel together.
Melvin Kane stood outside Bryson's door, holding a pile of documents in his hands.
"Evening, Ms. Audrey and Mr. Bryson!"
Audrey greeted him back nonchalantly. Then she took out her room card in a hurry from her purse and opened the door.
"I'm so tired! I'd better turn in now!"
Audrey returned to her room with the sound of the door closing.
Melvin had no idea what just happened.
'It was as if Ms. Audrey was hiding from someone.'
Bryson, who was standing beside, smiled as Audrey ran away from him.
Melvin just got more confused.
'Judging from Ms. Audrey's reaction, something must have happened today between her and Mr. Bryson. God, I can never resist these kind of dramas.
Unfortunately, Bryson had made himself clear that no one was to follow them around as they went out.'
When Bryson's cold gaze landed on him, Melvin could feel his heart beating rapidly. So he immediately got down to business and quit wondering what happened today.
"Mr. Bryson, there are some documents for you to sign."
Bryson looked at him with no expression on his face, "Come on in!"
'Well, that was quick, from a smile to poker-face.'
...
When Audrey was alone in her room, she sighed with a relief but still couldn't get that kiss out of her mind.
But she was trying to make herself feel better, 'At the end of the day, it was just a kiss!
I mean, this is the 21st century. A one night stand wouldn't be a big deal for some people. Never mind a kiss. After all, we are all grown-ups!'
Suddenly her phone rang.
Audrey glanced at it and it said "Luis Thomson".
Audrey picked up the phone with a frown, "Hello, Mr. Luis. This is Audrey. How can I help?"
"Ms. Audrey, I've been thinking about whether to tell you or not. And it's better if you know what happened." Luis sounded dead serious.
"What is it?"
"It's Kadin Dalton. He was released on bail!"
'What? He's out?' Hearing this, Audrey got worried.
Of course, she knew what Luis meant.
Kadin was known as hateful and vindictive. If anybody crossed with Kadin, he was gonna make that person pay for a lot more.
"Is everything okay in the company?"
Luis let out a sigh.
"The research facility was trashed and half of the equipment was broken. But the good news is that nobody got hurt."
"That's a relief!"
Luis was worried about what would happen next, "Since Kadin has made a move on me, I'm afraid you might be the next." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Audrey nodded, "Don't worry about it, Mr. Luis. I will return to Peace City tomorrow."
"Alright. But before you do, watch out for yourself."
"I will. And thank you for telling me this, Mr. Luis."
"It is no big deal compared to what you've done for us. I should be grateful to you. You saved us from great losses."
After Audrey hung up the phone, she became more worried than ever.
She knew that Kadin was gonna come for her.
...
Just as Audrey was about to take a shower, her phone rang again.
She glanced at the screen of her phone and found that it was Charity Lawson calling, the assistant who accompanied her on this trip.
'What did she want at this hour of the day?'
Audrey paused for a minute and picked up the phone,
"Hey, Charity, what's up?"
No one responded. There was nothing but dead silence.
Audrey, who was known for her sensitiveness, immediately realized that something was off. She soon became vigilant.
"Who was there?"
