105 THE CRUEL SEA

Zoe jerked up in surprise. She has taken a longer nap than she intended!

She immediately went out of the tent and looked for the other Norfolks.

Fortunately, they were just regrouping for the tie-breaker challenge. 

"Kristie! Have you seen Mr. Gao?"

She asked her immediately as soon as she saw her. 

"Hi, Zoe! Are you feeling well now?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"But I haven't seen him around. Guys, have you seen Mr. Gao?" 

Kristie poked on Nella who was just around. She was having a good chat with Clay.

"No, we haven't," Nella answered.

"Maybe he has gone back to his country. I hope nothing bad is happening over there." 

Clay also responded as he rubbed his chin.

"That's strange. We had just…." Zoe thought out loud. 

But it's too late when she realized that she was still in front of everybody.

"Yeah?" Kristie prodded her to go on with a mischievous look on her face.
