ETERNAL LOVE

10: DAMN! THEM!!

AUTHOR'S POV

EXR Enterprises,
01: 03 pm

The heel-clicking sound of Reed's assistant made everyone push themselves onto the wall as she managed to run in her pencil skirt to Reed's office. "Reed sir." She entered without knocking as she panicked.

Reed who was talking to the contractor for the renovation of the park allowed her in.

" I'm so sorry sir but it's important." She said fixing her round glasses and looking at the man then at Reed again and again.

That contractor being a gentleman left the office sensing she has something private to say.

" S-S-Sir... Xaden sir- he..."

" Calm down first, Stella. What is it?" He asked politely.

She's been working for him for the last two years. He knows she won't act like this if there's nothing big. As well as she pronounced Xaden's name. It's confirmed something's up.

" Sir. Xaden sir and Hazel ma'am got into a fight. They both left hurriedly and Xaden sir's car is found wrecked on the giant highway." She said in one breath.

" WHAT?" Reed's eyes widened. He immediately stood up from his chair.

Stella nodded swelling thickly looking at Reed who was roaming and calling Xaden.

" Pick up the phone." Reed muttered rubbing his forehead but Xaden didn't answer as his mobile was in his car. So he called Hazel only to hear the bell ringing but she also didn't receive it.

" Stella, call in all the nearby hospitals, let me know if you'll find anything." Reed commanded his assistant leaving his office followed by Stella. " Also, I don't want this being headline on any news channels" Reed said in a stern voice.

Edwin whose cabin is next to Reed's lifted his gaze to see Reed being loud which is the rarest thing.

He immediately approached Reed and got to know about the accident.

Reed with his driver while Edwin with the help of Jane went to different hospitals and tried to contact their friends but found no clue.

The day turned into the night but they both didn't dare to call home. They searched and searched and searched from their penthouse to every possible place but there was no sign of the youngest.

Clueless, they went back to their house only to get welcome by the silence.

Only Tan and Won were in the hallway as Anna and Ezra were out for a day.

They walked further to see Tan looking at Xaden's secretary whose head was bowing. " I told you not to give him the car keys. What's the point of appointing you?" He asked trying to calm his anger.

" They know about their disappearance." Edwin mumbled enough for Reed to hear.

" Mr. William I tried to stop him but he was looking so mad at something. I was scared." She said lifting her gaze. " Please don't demote me for this." She pleaded.

" Don't worry, he won't." Won assured. " Go back to your house. It's late." Won sent her back with one of their drivers.

" Mind telling me what happened in the office?" Tan asked glaring at Reed and Edwin.

" They fought again d-" Reed started to explain but was cut off by giggling sounds.

All of them turned to see Xaden and Hazel. They high five gossiping about something while entering inside but as soon as they noticed everyone's stare their wide grin dropped.
