Chapter 443 – When Did She Disappear?
“Both of you,” Bowen Carter said coldly as his hawk-like gaze locked on the two men in a mood of bitter desolation, “preside over the meeting and turn in a report of it to my office afterward.”
The crowd, especially ASSISTANT, was so surprised that their lips parted slightly.
The president is rigorous and harsh, the most disgusted is the people who do not do things seriously, today the financial director and the director of operations in the conference room he presided over the biting of the ear, he did not punish the people, but let these two people to preside over the meeting?
Bowen Carter ignores the surprised looks from the crowd and simply stands up, pulls out his chair, and walks out.
With Tess Baker out of the picture and him trying to come up with a way for her to escape every three minutes, it was impossible to concentrate on the meeting and it was a waste of time to sit around any longer.
The finance director and operations director are good and more than capable of chairing this meeting, and with the program directors of all six programs present, if the two directors get anything wrong, they’ll point it out.
“Ahem!” ASSISTANT coughed dryly, successfully pulling back the crowd’s attention, “Let the two directors begin.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Bowen Carter exited the conference room, jogged straight into the elevator, got off, and jogged all the way to the president’s office.
“President?” The office door was violently pushed open, startling Secretary Wang who was concentrating on her work. She looked at Bowen Carter, who had an urgent look on his face, and a flash of surprise flashed extremely quickly under her eyes.
The president came over in such a hurry, what happened?
Was there some major change of heart at the meeting?
“Where’s Tess Baker?” Bowen Carter scanned around and didn’t see Tess Baker, and his blood went half-cold as panic festered a little in the back of his mind.
He was only gone for a moment, did Tess Baker disappear?
Secretary Wang was startled by his face and reacted slowly, not having the time to answer for a moment.
Seeing her like this, Bowen Carter figured Tess Baker must be missing, his face completely sank, “When did she disappear? Why didn’t you inform me?”
“Mrs. Husband … is inside the lounge.” Secretary Wang was confused by his question for a moment and froze before pointing at the lounge.
Bowen Carter’s handsome face paled and he ran to the lounge in great strides, but after twisting the doorknob a couple of times, it didn’t open and the door was unlocked from the inside.
A flash of panic came to his eyes when he thought of the way she’d covered her neck and coughed violently after he’d rushed into the bathroom last night.
Did she … try to kill herself yesterday and then not succeed?
What is she doing inside the rest room now? Is it possible that yesterday’s suicide didn’t work and she’s killing herself inside today?
“Tess Baker? Tess Baker!”Bowen Carter thumped the door vigorously, a few tremors tinting her always cool voice, “What are you doing in there? Open the door!”
Secretary Wang was a bit puzzled, what was going on? Why is the president so flustered?
There was no sound at all from inside the lounge.
Secretary Wang also a little panicked, even if the lady is asleep, should be the president of such a big noise woke up, how the inside did not react at all?
Did Madame run away?
It can’t be. She was right outside on guard. Her Ladyship didn’t come out.
“Tess Baker, are you in there? Open the door!” Bowen Carter shouted a few times without getting an answer and had completely panicked, going straight for the door with her body.
But whether it was hit or kicked, the door just shuddered a few times, with no intention of opening at all.
Bowen Carter looked at the closed door, too hard to breathe. Had Tess Baker really killed herself? She didn’t want her two children or him?
“President, don’t panic, I have a spare key for the lounge there, I’ll go get it.” Tess Baker went in the lounge and didn’t come out for half an hour, Secretary Wang originally didn’t think there was any problem. But Bowen Carter was so whole, she also followed and panicked.
If anything really happened to Madam, she definitely couldn’t escape the responsibility!
Bowen Carter looked at her with scarlet at the ends of his eyes and almost yelled, “Hurry!”
Nothing can happen to Tess Baker, absolutely nothing!
If something did happen to her, he would follow her, and even if she died, she wouldn’t be able to get rid of him!
“Oh, I … I’ll go now.” Secretary Wang’s hands and feet were shaking as he stumbled and ran to the secretary’s office.
A few of the better friends of hers in the secretary’s office came over to gossip-
“Sister Wang, what happened, why is there so much commotion over at the president’s office?”
“Why are your hands and feet shaking, did the president lecture you?”
“Sister Wang, what did you do to cause the president to lose his temper like this?”
Secretary Wang was really not in the mood to pay attention to them, she pushed them aside, “Get lost, one by one don’t delay me!”
She opened a drawer, rummaged for the spare key to the break room, and rushed out of the break room in a hurry, leaving a group of bewildered secretaries–
“Something that can make a ninja turtle like Sister Wang say the word roll in a hurry, I’m even more curious.”
“Curiosity killed the cat, haven’t you heard? All of you hurry up and disperse, be careful of the president and Sister Wang who will take it out on us later!”
Secretary Wang ran to the president’s office with the fastest speed, gasping for breath and said, “General … president, key …”
Before the words were out of his mouth, the keys were snatched away by Bowen Carter.
Secretary Wang could see very clearly that the president, who was calm and collected even by the national leaders, was actually shaking his hands at this moment. She couldn’t help but feel that no matter if the president had hurt madam or not, he really, really, really cared about madam!
Bowen Carter made himself try to maintain his composure, but despite this, he couldn’t stop his hands from shaking, and it took several insertions to get the key in.
The door handle really twisted that moment, but he did not dare to push the door in … he was afraid to see on the scene he did not want to see.
“President, open the door quickly!” Secretary Wang urged in a fiery manner.
Bowen Carter’s throat rolls a little and pushes the door open–
Tess Baker was standing in the middle of the lounge, looking at him coldly.
With four eyes facing each other, the atmosphere was particularly depressing.
Seeing that Tess Baker didn’t look like she had anything to do with it at all, Secretary Wang smiled sarcastically, “I suddenly remembered that I have a PPT to do, so I’ll go and do it.”
After that, he just slipped away.
It was the president’s fault that he was so nervous, causing her to think that something had happened to her ladyship, and to think that her ladyship had a calm face as she listened to her and the president yelling at each other made her feel … embarrassed.
“Why didn’t you say anything in there?” Seeing that Tess Baker was okay, Bowen Carter had a sense of gratitude for the aftermath, and he took a few steps forward, holding her tightly in his arms.
Tess Baker frowned and pushed him as hard as she could, but it didn’t go away, “Let go!”
There was no reason, she just didn’t want to talk in there just now.
“Tess Baker,” Bowen Carter didn’t let go, instead he hugged her a little tighter, fear not yet gone from his heart, “don’t scare me.”
The thought that she might kill herself made his heart ache.
Tess Baker just felt ridiculous, “Scare you? Do I have that in me?”
Would she still be stuck with him if she really had it in her?
