Female Novel
Chapter 2110
Aunt Neile walked out of the kitchen and cleaned the dishes on the table. She noticed that Luca did notfollow Luke to work, so she asked, “Mr. Craw, don't you have to go to work today?"
“Yes. I'm going later," replied Luca as she gave Amur a call.
The phone stated that the call was unreachable, and no one was answering the phone.
No one had been answering the phone for the past two days, and the phone was turned off today.
Luca reckoned that Amur had left his phone on standby, and that was why his phone ran out of battery.
However, Amur would normally pick up her call instead of ignoring her calls. That was why Lucaneeded to head over to the apartment and check on him.
Amur had promised Luca before that he would leave markings in the apartment if he was out on amission and he did not have the chance to inform her about it or if he was not allowed to.
There were different markings, and each marking represented how dangerous the mission was.
Aunt Neile noticed the solemn expression on Luca's face. She fell silent as she thought it would bebetter for her to not say anything else. Aunt Neile watched Luca put on the scarf and wrap it aroundher. Then, she strode out of the house. Aunt Neile carried the plates and cutleries and headed to thekitchen.
Luca did not try to hide her trails as she was going to her previous apartment. She drove the car thatLuke gave her and headed right to the apartment.
After Luca reached the apartment, she came to a halt and parked the car. Then, she deliberatelywalked to the parking lot reserved for the residents of the apartment. She saw Amur's car parked in hisspot, and there was a thick layer of snow on the top of the car.
It seemed like Amur had not driven the car lately.
It was unlikely Amur would be in the apartment, then.
Perhaps Amur was carrying out the mission Abel had assigned to him.
Luca stood in the snow. She pondered for a moment while staring at the car. A security guard came upto her when she was about to head upstairs. He asked, “Miss, why are you standing here?"
“Oh, I'm a resident here," said Luca as she stepped forward.
“Owner? Why haven't I seen you before?" the guard asked suspiciously and followed behind her.
Luca showed him her access card and said, “I left the apartment for my brother. I'm not staying hereanymore."
The guard verified her access card. It was genuine. Then, he handed it back to her and saidrespectfully, "I'm sorry, Miss. You didn't look familiar to me, so I had to ask."
“It's alright. Oh, by the way, have you seen the owner of this car lately?" Luca pointed at Amur's parkinglot.
"Do you mean the white man with a Caucasian face? The good-looking guy with a tall, burly figure?"the guard asked. No foreigners went in and out of this district. Hence, Amur left an impression on him.
“Yes, that's him." Luca nodded.
“I often saw him going in and out of the apartment a few days ago. But I haven't seen him for the pasttwo days... I don't think I've seen him around when I was on duty," said the guard. Although he was notsure about it, Amur was a foreigner with a Caucasian face. He would have noticed him.novelbin
“Alright. Thank you." Luca turned around and headed upstairs after she thanked him.
She wanted to see if Amur had left any markings in the apartment.
Luca pushed the door open and frowned.
The temperature in the apartment was the same as outside. It seemed that Amur had not been stayingin the apartment for quite some time.
Luca closed the door and saw that Amur had left a marking on the door with a carving knife.
The mission's difficulty was at a moderate level.
Luca pursed her lips. If it was a moderate-level mission, Amur would have given her a call when he hadthe time even if he was carrying out the mission.
Hence, she refused to believe that.
However, there was no news of him after asking around. She could not ask Abel either. She had justrecently offended him, after all. She was lucky enough that Abel did not come looking for trouble.
Luca looked around the apartment. She did not remain there any longer.
After all, there was no way she could find out where Amur was or what kind of mission Amur wasassigned to.
Luca closed the door. Her phone vibrated when she was about to leave.
She opened her phone, and she saw a message from a string of numbers.
It was a message from the Island of Despair.
Luca opened the decoding app and decoded the numbers. The contents of the message asked her tomeet somewhere around five tomorrow.
Luca let out a sigh. She thought things would be much more peaceful when she returned here. Itseemed like they would not be as peaceful as she thought even after she came back.
It seemed like even Amur had gotten into trouble because of her.
Luca's eyes darkened, and they were filled with gloominess. She headed straight to T Corporation aftershe drove out of the apartment.
She had informed Rhett earlier that they would be having a meeting. Everyone was waiting for her inthe meeting room when she stepped into the lab.
Luca said to the others while she turned her phone to silent mode, “Sorry I'm late. Let's start themeeting now."
The air in the meeting room was tense. A few researchers exchanged glances with each other withouthaving the guts to say anything. Then, they opened their files.
The meeting was held to find out the problem with the data.
If they could not find out what was wrong with it, they would have to redo the experiment. All the effortsthat they had put in and the expenses of the research would end up in vain.
The meeting lasted until noon time.
Zoey stood at the door of the meeting room and looked around. Then, she shook her head. It seemedlike things were not going well here. They had not found out what was wrong with the research data.
Zoey shook her head. She thought of helping them to order takeout and wanted to ask them what theywould like to have for lunch.
However, now...
Zoey decided to make the decision herself.
She returned to her office, sat on her chair, and picked up the phone. When she was about to ordertakeout for lunch, she saw that Jenni was looking for something in the doorway.
Zoey put down the phone and strode out of the office. “Ms. Lynn, why are you here?"
“I was looking for you. Why didn't you reply to my text?" Jenni sounded dissatisfied.
"I left my phone on the table and didn't bring it along with me just now. What can I help you with?" Zoeyasked.
"I want to ask you out for lunch," replied Jenni. She glanced at the time, then she looked around theoffice. It seemed like Zoey was the only one left in the office.
"Why did those people working in your department leave for lunch so quickly?"
"They're having a meeting in the meeting room. I'm not joining you for lunch today. I'm planning to ordertakeout for them." Zoey rejected her. Tina had told her not to get too close with Jenni before. After all,she was not reliable.
Zoey had always kept that in mind. That was why she was keeping a distance from Jenni these days.
"Oh, they're still in a meeting. I heard that Luca is back in the office, huh?" said Jenni. She was notconcerned that Zoey seldom contacted her lately.
Jenni came looking for her today just to ask about Luca's matters.
The news that Luca and Luke were staying in the same suite when they were on a business trip toRussia was all over the office now.
Jenni could not approach those who went on a business trip to Russia. After all, there were so manypeople working in the office, and she could not know every one of them. Besides, those who could goon that business trip were those who held higher positions in the office.
She was merely a manager. There was no way she could approach those people.
Hence, Jenni could ask Zoey about Luca's matter.
When Zoey realized Jenni was trying to find out about Luca's matter through her, she became alert at
once.
