    However, it was work hours, and there was no chance Skr would be drinking.


    Half an hour passed before Caleb noticed Skr still hadn’t shown up. He shot her a quick


    message on WhatsApp. “Stuck in traffic?”


    More than ten minutes passed without a reply. Caleb stared at the growing stack of work in front of


    him, his eyelids twitching. An uneasy feeling began to gnaw at him.


    After waiting a while longer with still no response, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was


    off.


    He dialed her number.


    Her phone was off.


    That wasn’t like her. Caleb quickly called Joe,


    Joe answered the phone quickly, but it was obvious he was in the middle of work. His tone was


    cold.”


    What is it?”


    Caleb got straight to the point. “Is Skr home today? She hasn’te to work, and I can’t reach


    her. Something doesn’t feel right.”


    “What did you say?” Joe’s voice dropped, cold and cutting.


    Caleb repeated himself. “Skr hasn’t shown up-”


    “She was supposed to be there 40 minutes ago.” Joe’s voice was icy. Without another word, he


    hung up.


    The abrupt end of the call stunned Caleb for a moment. If Skr was supposed to have arrived


    nearly an hour ago, something was definitely wrong. His eyes widened in realization. “D**n it!”


    Worry crept in. Caleb quickly asked in thepany group chat if anyone had seen Skr that


    morning.


    No one had. Just then, someone mentioned spotting a man carrying a woman to the street across


    Gardner Group earlier. The woman resembled Skr.


    Caleb’s mind raced. Could she have fallen ill, and someone came to help her? He immediatelyN?velDrama.Org content rights.


    pulled up the building’s surveince footage.


    Though she wasn’t near the main entrance, Skr’s outfit and appearance were unmistakable.


    Then, a man appeared, speaking to her at length. Momentster, Skr copsed, and the man


    carried her to a nearby car.


    Caleb immediately forwarded the footage to Joe, then rushed to file a police report.


    Skr regained consciousness the moment she was ced down in an apartment. But her body


    felt weak -likely from whatever Christopher had sprayed on her so she decided to keep pretending


    to be asleep.


    used a spray to knock her out and brought her here… I know I shouldn’t have done it, but I couldn’t


    stand it anymore. She only thinks about Joe now and doesn’t listen to anything I say. You’ve got to


    help me figure this out.


    “Besides, me taking Skr away benefits you too, doesn’t it? I’ll stop talking now. I’m going to f**k


    her. The longer I wait, the messier things get. By the time Joees looking, it’ll already be too


    late. Skr and I would have already done the deed, I’ll make sure he sees how I’ve **ed her.
