Nora sighed as she opens the door of her apartment. She places her bag on the table and made her body fall on the couch. She looked out of the window it's already dark. As her thought took over her, she hoped this time she clears the interview because she was in desperate need of a job. She shook her head and got up to change her professional attire.

Nora finished making herself a diner. She sat on the couch with a cup of coffee and turned on the TV. It has been few minutes when her phone starts to ring. The screen showed David calling which was a surprise to her it been a while they talked. She didn't pick up the call and let it ring. 

David kept calling. When it rang for the fourth time and she stared at the phone and think of all the possible reasons that he might be calling. After few rings she received.

David said "Hi, Nora" with a worried tone

She replied "Hi David, why are you calling?" with confusion tone

David said "I need help" he sounded serious

She kept quiet, knowing the one reason. 

He continued "We were having drinks at the club and Carter left the club without telling us. He is drunk. Can you help us to find him? Please" with a begging tone

She said "David I don't think it's a good idea" with hesitant

David added "You know him very well. Please help. He might get into some problem." He paused "He was talking about you," he said in a low voice

She sighed knowing that she has to find Carter. It's been few months since she last saw him.

She replied "Fine" He thanked her and cut the call.

She changed quickly, but the food in the fridge, and took her keys and bag, and head out. She halts a cab and enters. Her eyes were glued to the phone searching through her contact list when the driver interrupted. 

"Where you want to go?" the driver asked

She was confused. The information that David provided wasn't enough to start searching. She scratched her head in confusion. How much she knows Carter she thinks she knows where he can be?

She replied "To Kevin Street" and he started driving

She searched Carter's number and dialed it hoping he might pick up. It rang many times but no answer. 

After few minutes, when she looked out the window the familiar view made her sigh. The tall green trees, massive houses with freshly cut lawn, and the expensive car parked in front of them. She was heading to Carter's house. He lives in one of the posh locality in the city. Well, he is the CEO of Magnum Corporation.
