The ride took him 45 minutes but he was not anxious. He slowly got down and wore the disposable mask he asked from the lady beside him on the bus.

He walked towards the magneficient building in the city center.

LM Group.

The logo outside standing so ostentatiously. It was the tallest building in this city and the pioneer of real estate industry in the country.

Drake walked towards the revolving glass door and entered.

He scanned his cellphone for his entry pass and headed towards the private elevator. 

20th floor.

Rupert waited for Drake to arrive. The man had to tell him about Louise.

After a while, there was a knock on his office door.

"Come in." Rupert said.

The door opened and Drake walked inside.

He sat on the leather sofa near Rupert's office table.

"What happened? She woke up?" Drake asked. His posture was lazy.

"No, she's missing." Rupert said with a visible frown on his face.

"What? How could that be?" Drake was taken aback.

Louise was still in coma even when she was smuggled out from the country and sent to S country.

"Did Lucia call you?" Drake tried to calm down.

"Lucia is also missing." Rupert said. It was buffling.

S country was so faraway and they knew that Whitney Du can't reach her there and harm her yet she was missing.

Drake tried to digest the sudden news.

"I'll go there and search for her." Drake decided.

"No. You stay here. Our plans are in motion." Rupert said. 5 years of planning cannot go to waste.

"But..." Drake tried to reason out but he knew he can't help much even if he went there.

"No buts. Just do your part here. I already asked Luda and Fritz to search for her." Rupert  interrupted his thoughts.

Drake stayed silent for a long time.

"I'll call the others." Rupert had to do a thorough investigation for Louise sudden disappearance.

Drake sighed. He was feeling useless. All he do was to f*ck those two pretentious b*tches.

"So what did you find out this time?" Rupert asked.

"Their next target is you." Drake said with a laugh.

Insatiable women.

Their greed knows no bounds.

It was Rupert's time to be silent.

Drake stifled a laughter with Rupert's visible disgust towards the thought.

"Hahaha..." Drakes laughter rang out as Rupert rushed towards the bathroom.

After a few minutes, Rupert's countenance paled as he walked towards the refrigerator and pulled a cold drink to gurgle his mouth.

How nauseating.

After, Rupert's face came back to normal and sat across Drake.

"So, how can you stomach them?" Rupert asked as his curiousity was piqued.

"Well, I'm quite experienced." Drake shrugged and didn't elaborate.

Rupert smiled and said nothing.
