"Okay.” Jaime nodded. After locating Quinn’s cell phone number, he dialed it.
However, Jaime received a prompt from the other end of the line: “Sorry, but the number that you have dialed has already been turned off. Please try again later."
Jaime was even more baffled when he saw that Quinn had actually turned off her cell phone.
After all, how could he have known that Quinn had already long turned on the Do Not Disturb' mode on her cell phone. When her cell phone was in this mode, only a few people who were on her approved list would be able to call her. As for other people, regardless of who they were, when they called her, they would only receive a prompt stating that her cell phone had been turned off. 3
So, Jaime hurriedly asked someone to check the relevant information at Aurous Airport, but he could not find Quinn's entry registration information at the airport.
He instinctively thought that Quinn must not have arrived in Aurous Hill yet. Perhaps she had been delayed in Eastcliff because of an accident, and perhaps she would quickly switch to another plane to come to Aurous Hill soon. Therefore, he hurriedly
instructed his subordinate to drive to the Aurous Airport so that they could wait for her arrival there. At the same time, he also called his friends in the railway department to ask them to help him check whether Quinn had purchased a high-speed rail ticket in the railway system. 1
In Jaime’s opinion, Quinn would not have any other choice but to either fly or take the high-speed rail from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill. As long as he seized these two channels, he would certainly be able to wait for Quinn's arrival.
As a result, what he would not have expected was that there was no trace of Quinn at all even after he had waited until almost noon. Moreover, there was also no progress from the airport and his railway department friends. 2
This made Jaime feel particularly puzzled. He felt that Quinn attached great importance to this performance. So, since the performance was set to officially start tomorrow, she would have to complete the rehearsal tomorrow. Hence, she would not decide to be absent at the last minute just because something else had cropped up. 3
Nevertheless, since he could not contact Quinn, and since he could not find any clues, he felt a little anxious.
When he saw that there were only two to three minutes left before noon, Jaime thought about it before he gave up on the intention of picking her up from the airport. He decided to go back to the venue to take a look first. Otherwise, if Quinn had quietly gone t o the venue on time for her rehearsal and he was still waiting to pick her up at the airport, he would undoubtedly end up being the biggest laughingstock. 2
As he thought of this point, Jaime hurriedly brought his men back to the Olympic Center with him.
Just as Jaime's car had just driven into the Olympic Center's gate, Charlie drove Quinn to the VIP passage a t the back door of the Olympic Center.
