Chapter 832

She rested her hands on the backside of his seat. Even though Anthony had not done anything, hisface, which was as handsome as a sculpture, and his eyes which seemed as if they could piercethrough anyone's body with just a look, made her feel nervous.

“Close your eyes,” Anne ordered.

“Is this your first time?”

"It's the first time I've kissed you like this,” Anne answered eloquently.

Anthony closed his eyes, and Anne slowly approached, but her eyes focused on the button next tohim.

Her fingers then pressed down the button.

When her mouth was a millimeter away from his thin lips, Anne dodged to the side and jumped offthe car.

Anthony opened his black eyes and saw Anne, who made a silly face at him after successfullygetting out of the car, running toward the building.

He smirked. If he did not go easy on her, there was no way she would be able to get out of the car.While waiting for the elevator, Cindy walked over. “Morning, Ms. Vallois!"

“Morning, Cindy.” Anne looked at her.

“I'm sorry for being late. Something happened at home today...” Cindy was uneasy.

“I just came early. Is everything okay?” Anne asked as she entered the elevator.

“Thank you for your concern. It's not a big deal and it's fine.”

“That's great.”

After the elevator door closed, Cindy said with a smile, “Mr. Marwood and Ms. Vallois are in such agood relationship.”

“You knew about it?"

“Rumors were going around in the company, and I overheard it,” Cindy said.

“They're just rumors, don't take it seriously.”

"Yes, I will keep that in mind.” Cindy hurriedly lowered her head.

Anne knew that people in the company would spread the word. Moreover, Anthony came to hercompany and even left with the children from time to time.

It would be more strange if there were no rumors.

However, she still did not want to hear from her assistant about that.

After all, Anthony's real fiancee was Bianca.

Anne suddenly remembered something while being back in the office.

She took out her phone from her bag, but there was no missed call.

Anne frowned. What was her mother doing? Why had she not called back? She had already madethree phone calls, and her mother should at least have phone back and asked if anything waswrong.

She tried to dial again.

Still, no one answered.

Someone knocked on the door. “Come in."

Cindy walked in. “Ms. Vallois, there is a meeting at nine o'clock in the morning, and it's about thetechnical exchange with the Lloyd Group.”

"Got it.” Anne put her phone aside.

She turned on the computer and sorted out the materials she needed for the meeting.

She entered the meeting room at nine o'clock, but she was not able to focus during the meeting.“Why isn't her mother answering the phone or calling back?”

Could something have happened?

She thought she might be just scaring herself. How could something happen?

She suddenly thought of Nigel, who was poisoned in the hospital. Anne's face turned pale, and herbody shivered.

Cindy, who was beside her, asked in a low voice, “Ms. Vallois, what's wrong?”

"Just keep going. I have something to do. If there are any questions, I'll take care of them when Ireturn.” Anne left the conference room hurriedly after saying those words.

Anne went back to the office to get her bag and phone. She called the driver and told him to wait atthe entrance of the office.

On the way, Anne called Sarah, but no one answered.

She urged the driver to drive faster.

When they arrived at the villa, Anne got out of the car and ran into the house.

“Mom?” Anne started looking for her as soon as she entered.

No one responded, but she saw the housekeeper coming out of the kitchen. “Miss, you came back.”“Have you seen my mother? I called her, but she didn't answer!” Anne was relieved when she sawthe housekeeper as she thought that if she were at home, she would inform her if anything hadhappened to her mom

“I thought she went out already?” the housekeeper said.

"Went out? Why don't you know about it?”

“I took a leave yesterday, and I just arrived this morning,” the housekeeper said.

“Yesterday...” Anne was stunned.

She called at four o'clock yesterday, but no one answered. She called again after dinner, and it wasstill the same.

So, was she at home last night?

Anne regained her senses and ran upstairs.

She opened the door to Sarah's room.

The room was neat. Even the quilt on the bed remained untouched. It did not look like someonehad slept in here.

Anne turned to the housekeeper and asked her, “Did you make the bed?”

The housekeeper did not realize the unusual situation. “No, I just came back from grocery shoppingand haven't gone upstairs yet. Did something happen?”

Anne asked again, “When did you leave yesterday?”

“In the morning.”

Anne knew her mother too well. She was a person who would never make her bed by herself whenshe woke up, as she thought that it was just pointless. So, her mom really did not come home lastnight?

How could it be?

th

Where did she go?

What had happened?

Anne was already pale with fright. She felt dizzy and not knowing what to do.
