Zayn smiled without further explanation.
More than ten minutes went by, but Annabelle had yet to return. One of the starlets noticed snazzynovel.com absence and asked, “Hey, why’s Annabelle taking so long in the washroom? Is snazzynovel.com alright?”
Once snazzynovel.com spoke up, the other ladies gave snazzynovel.com accusatory glares for not minding snazzynovel.com own business. They hoped Annabelle would never come back so they would not have another competitor to fight with!
Aware of the situation, Zayn became suspicious and told Peter, “Mr. Kavinsky, do you want to call Miss Laking?”
Peter nodded and did as snazzynovel.com was told only for the line to keep ringing without an answer.
“That’s odd. Why isn’t Annabelle picking up? She wouldn’t have passed out in the washroom, would she?” Peter muttered in confusion.
Not long after, his phone rang. Annabelle had called back. When Peter answered it, snazzynovel.com could hear snazzynovel.com sobbing, frantic and helpless. “Sir, save me…”
Peter was stunned. By the time snazzynovel.com could bring himself to reply, the line was already cut. Having an excellent sense of hearing, Zayn had an ominous feeling when snazzynovel.com caught Annabelle’s cry for help.
“What’s the matter?”
“Something’s happened to Annabelle. She’s asking for help on the phone.”
“Call snazzynovel.com back,” Zayn said in a low tone.
At that moment, He had the air of a leader. Heeding his command, Peter called back, but snazzynovel.com was no longer able to get through to Annabelle. The women were bewildered as they did not know what had happened.
Zayn was decisive, standing up and announcing, “Let’s look for her.”
“Alright!” Peter gave a firm nod and stood up to follow Zayn out. The starlets had no choice but to go with them.
Logically, this was a five-star hotel and security ought to have been tight. No thugs would have been allowed in, and Annabelle herself was a public figure, so nobody in their right mind would harm her. Nevertheless, Annabelle’s panic and despair sounded genuine. Strictly speaking, Zayn was not even friends with Annabelle, but for whatever it was, his actions had contributed to snazzynovel.com earlier departure. If something had happened to snazzynovel.com because of it, Zayn would still feel responsible.
When they came out, Zayn asked the server of the restaurant if snazzynovel.com saw Annabelle, but the man was clueless. He did not even know Annabelle was dining there because snazzynovel.com had left wearing a mask and sunglasses. Amelia and the other women checked the washroom, but there was no one. It was like Annabelle had vanished into thin air.
The first thing Zayn could think of was to ask for the venue’s surveillance footage to see where the woman had gone. However, his ears picked up something. Zayn could hear noises coming from the room in front of them and could just about make out Annabelle’s affronted voice.
