When Luna rushed to Jude's company, his secretary stopped her.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Luna, Mr. Smith is not here."
Luna narrowed her eyes slightly. She lowered her eyes and took a glimpse of the time. It was past 9 a.m. in the morning, normal working hours. Besides, today was Monday, where could he be if he was not in his office?
Right when Luna was wondering about Jude's whereabouts, an executive of the Smith Group arrived outside of the office.
"Secretary Colleen, President Smith called me, he asked me to come over and report to him, he..."
The executive's words were interrupted by the secretary. "Director Smith is not here now."
The executive frowned. "But President Smith just called me half an hour ago. Besides, I just saw President Smith's car downstairs, he should still be in the company, right?"
The secretary grew anxious, gesturing at the executive with her eyes and guarding against Luna at the same time. "President Smith just left..."
The executive was surprised, then finally understood the secretary's frantic body language. He coughed
lightly and said, "Alright, I understand.” Then he turned and left.
After the executive left, the secretary finally breathed out a long sigh of relief and turned to Luna with a smile on her face. "Ms. Luna, President Smith is..."
"He’s still in his office, right?”
Luna lifted her lips in a cold smile and pushed the door open, ignoring the secretary's protests.
The office was empty, without a single soul in sight.
The secretary hurriedly rushed forward and stopped Luna. "Ms. Luna, I told you, President Smith is not here, he..."
Luna narrowed her eyes, took out her phone, and dialed Jude’s number. His phone was switched off.
How could the president of a company switch off his phone on a working day?
