Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 481 - Bab 490

Rebecca sat next to David. Coincidentally, one of the waitstaff came over with their food, which had been ordered in advance. They placed the dishes on the table."Why is there nothing for Dr. Collins? Are you not eating?" Rebecca asked, a bit taken aback. The waitstaff had left.Before Randy could explain, David, who had grabbed her steak and started cutting it up for her, spoke up. "He only just ordered. It will take a bit more time before it's served. Let's eat first.""Alright. Then you'll have to wait alone, Dr. Collins. I’m starving"Rebecca shot Randy a smile and picked up a small spoon. She took a bite of the pudding before her. She took David's efforts for granted, allowing him to help her cut up her food without any reservations.They had patronized this restaurant before when they first arrived. The food tasted decent, with the restaurant's only drawback being that they were slow to serve the food.Dishes that had been ordered in advance were still served quite quickly

Randy fell into a stupor again. He nearly wasn't able to react to that. Who had gone missing?"Mr. Winston, is it possible that Ms. Johnson has simply wandered off somewhere? Or maybe she's washing up in her room and didn't hear your knock. Wait a moment and she might come out in a while."Randy started to defend Rebecca, ignoring how he had been suspicious of her during dinner. He immediately tried to reason with David and calm him down.However, it became clear that his efforts were useless.David's voice turned even more enraged at Randy's feeble attempts to calm him down."Get up here now. Don't make me repeat myself.""Yes, sir!"Not daring to say more, Randy rushed upstairs to the room they had booked after answering.His own room was on a different floor than Rebecca and David's. They were both in the presidential suite on the top floor. The setup there was no different from an apartment, having a master bedroom and a smaller bedroom.Randy didn't know which room Rebecc

"What is this?"Rebecca was standing by the couch again, looking at the bouquet of champagne-colored roses in the trash can. This was a different bouquet from the intricately wrapped red roses that had been bought that afternoon along the beach.That bouquet had barely any roses in it and had other flowers in the mix to lower the cost. The only thing that she could say in praise of it was the way the stall's owner had so carefully packaged it.But after being clinched for so long, the flowers had been compressed and squeezed out of shape. Only the stems were left now. Naturally, David had thrown them in the bin at the hotel's entrance when they got back.Rebecca didn't much like that bouquet either.Although it was romantic, the beautiful packaging stole the show, overshadowing the beauty of the flowers themselves. It felt like the packaging had overwhelmed the blooms.She remembered her conversation with Dan before. The bouquet was only a little something extra, which was why sh

The knocking became more rapid, making it seem like the phone ringing on the coffee table was getting more insistent and urgent too.David was forced to put down his cutlery. He got up to pick up his ringing phone.Rebecca stood up with him. "I'll get the door.""No need. You go back to your room," David cut her off as he grabbed his phone.He didn't answer it, hanging up upon seeing the caller ID. Then, he turned smoothly toward the door, moving to open it.Although Rebecca didn't know what was going on, she decided to obey David and go back to her room without asking any further questions. The look on his face was convincing enough.After David hung up, no more calls came through. However, there were notification noises from other emails and texts. As he went through these, he opened the door.The person at the door had been on the couch in the suite not long before, checking the surveillance footage. It was Randy.Contrasted with David's cool composure, Randy was in a wret

Overwhelmed by the tension in the air, the manager didn't object further.After agreeing to Sam's request, he swiftly retrieved his phone. He then turned around and dialed his boss's number.David had already heard about the situation from several people before he received the call.He knew what had happened downstairs.Therefore, he wasn't surprised when he received the call from the manager.Unfazed, he repositioned a rose from the foyer and placed it on the dining table, where he could see it at a glance. He even added a bit of water to the vase.The manager sounded worried on the other end of the phone.Business performance might not matter much to the head honchos. After all, they had businesses everywhere, and they weren't lacking in revenue. However, the people in charge of the specific project would undoubtedly feel concerned. This issue affected not only their colleagues' salaries and bonuses, but also their own jobs.The manager hoped the matter would be resolved sm
