Chapter 339 Sudden Disappearance
Joshua hesitated for a moment and handed his phone to August.
August dialed a number directly, but what he got was a sweet female voice.
"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off."
He frowned and had a bad feeling.He handed the phone back to Joshua and turned his head to look at Bond.
"Find out where Lucia is."
Bond nodded and typed quickly while Joshua's face suddenly darkened.
"August, what's wrong with you? You left the mission to the three of us yesterday because of a woman and asked Bond to find out where she is as soon as you woke up today..."
August turned to look at him coldly.
"I have my own plans."
After that, he walked away, leaving Joshua with a glum face.
In less than ten minutes, August changed his clothes, came down from the second floor, and approached Bond.
"Find anything?"
Bond shook his head in confusion.
"It's strange.It's like her recent whereabouts have been deliberately erased.I couldn't find anything."
August frowned uneasily.
‘If I was really the only one on the beach yesterday, where did Lucia go? Was she taken by those people?’ He had some guesses, but none of them made any sense.
After a while, he turned his head to look at Bond and said in a low voice, "I'll explain to Flynt about the lapse in the mission last night.Just do what you need to do."
Then he took a spare phone out of the drawer and called Burton directly.
In less than twenty minutes, Burton arrived.
August walked up quickly, got into the car, and ordered seriously, "Call the company and ask if Lucia is at work."
Burton immediately did as he was told.
Soon he hung up the phone and reported to August, "Sir, the company says Lucia hasn't been to work for the past few days."
August's right eye suddenly twitched.
He immediately ordered, "Go to the small apartment."
Burton immediately started the car.
As soon as the car stopped, August quickly got out and opened the door with the key.He frowned when he looked inside.
The living room was as spotless as if no one had ever lived there and all of Lucia's things were gone.
August tensed up and strode toward the bedroom.
When he pushed open the door and saw the empty bedroom, his mind suddenly went blank.
‘Where is she?’ Annoyed, he clenched his fists, left the apartment, and headed to the hospital where Bill was.
August relaxed when he heard the laughter inside at the door of the ward, but the moment he pushed open the door, he only saw a group of strangers.
Confused, he scanned everyone, closed the door coldly, and walked to the nurses' station not far away.
"Where did the patients in Ward 16 go?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
The nurse glanced at the ward and whispered, "They were just discharged this morning."
August froze and suddenly had mixed feelings.
Lucia had suddenly disappeared.
The apartment had been emptied.
Even Bill had left the hospital.
Everything about Lucia had disappeared in one day.
What had happened? August restrained his anger, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
"Find out if anyone named Lucia Mitchell left Austos City today."
He would search the world until he found her! Meanwhile, Lucia was saying goodbye to Paula in the lobby of Figo Airport at the border of Austos City and Figo City.
Paula, who was always strong, cried and held Lucia's hand.
"Lucia, I don't want you to leave!"
Lucia looked at her.She was sad too, but she still forced a smile.
"You have Burton!"
Paula choked.
"He's nothing compared to you...I don't want to be apart from you..."
Next to them, Paul was helpless.
"Come on.You'll see each other again."
He glanced at his watch and said to Lucia, "Lucia, you should get going."
Lucia nodded worriedly and whispered to Paul, "My parents..."
"Don't worry.All settled.I'll meet you up there after a while."
"Okay."
Lucia hugged Paula with a smile, waved at them, and then walked to the gate with her suitcase.
Half an hour later, the plane took off.
Lucia looked out of the window at the smaller and smaller city with a wistful look.she hadn't expected that she would say goodbye to the city where she'd lived for more than twenty years in this way.She had no idea when she would come back.
On the way from the hospital to Lion Group, August calmed down a bit, but he was still upset.
When he walked into the president's office, he noticed the file folder on the desk and picked it up with a frown.
It was a contract with the logo of "redeur’ on the first page.
August tensed up, flipped through it immediately, and saw "Jonathan Black" in the bottom right corner of the last page.
He subconsciously clenched the contract and suddenly felt an envelope underneath it.He quickly opened it, but he stiffened because it was a resignation letter.He skipped the content and went straight to the bottom of the page.
When he saw Lucia’s name, he gritted his teeth in anger.
Lucia was really quitting! August had thought that she just didn't want to work at Lion Group, but now it seemed that she was planning to leave Austos City! Furious, he crumpled the letter and threw it into the trash can next to him.
Lucia had just called him for help last night but suddenly disappeared today! What did she want? Was she playing him? August picked up a house phone and called Burton.
"Come to my office."
Within two minutes, the door opened and Burton walked in quickly.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
August roared, his eyes blazing with fury, "Send someone to find out where Lucia is! Make sure you find her!"
Burton blinked for a moment before replying, "Yes."
Then he turned and headed out of the office.
"Wait!"
August suddenly stopped him with a frown and stared at him.
"Burton, do you know something?"
