CHAPTER 331: Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead
Ten minutes ago...
"Sir?" Dane approached Dominic, who was now idling in the condominium's lobby. "Are we really supposed to wait here for the madam?"
No.
Dominic sat leisurely on the one-seater couch, tapping his fingers against the armrest, eyes on the nearby elevator. After dropping off his wife, Dominic was supposed to go home. However, in the middle of their journey, he suddenly asked his driver to turn back. Even though Dane was confused, the driver obeyed their boss's instructions.
Even so, the question lingered in Dane Zhang's mind.
Why did Dominic ask them to return to where they dropped off the young madam?
Did Heaven call for Dominic? If so, Dominic would've told Dane. But Dominic was just quiet, sitting in the lobby without showing any sign of leaving.
Little did Dane know Dominic was just as befuddled as him.
'I don't like this feeling,' thought Dominic to himself, keeping his gaze on the elevator that was within his line of sight.
Dominic was barely holding back from getting up in his seat to go to Paula Shen's unit. He didn't want to appear like a paranoid husband or surprise Heaven once he knock on Paula's doorstep. After all, Heaven knew he already left. However, he couldn't get rid of this growing uneasiness in his heart.
It was as though his heart was telling him something bad was happening to his wife. And this feeling continuously and consistently grew.
"Sir?" Dane's voice echoed in Dominic's ear once again. "Should I contact the young madam for you?"
"No." Dominic's voice was stern, snapping his eyes at his assistant that was just standing a few steps from his spot. "There's no need to bother..."
Dominic trailed off when he caught a familiar face from the corner of his eyes. He turned his head to the entrance, narrowing his eyes.
"She looks familiar," he muttered, making Dane follow his boss's gaze.
Deep lines appeared between Dane's brows, following the woman's figure, who was rushing to the elevator.
"Where did I see her?" asked Dominic, having a hard time recalling where he had seen that woman.
"That's Marisol Chu, Paula Shen's manager." Dane blinked, watching Manager Chu hurriedly get in the lift as if there was an emergency. "She looks in a hurry. Did something happen?"
Dominic rose to his feet, distracting Dane as the latter set his eyes back on his boss.
"Sir?" Dane tilted his head to the side slightly. "What are you —"
"I'm going to her," Dominic said as he took a step toward the lift. "Contact Bear Cruel and ask him if he was with her."
"Oh." Dane blinked, a bit confounded, watching his boss walk away from the lobby. "I wonder why he seems so worried. It's not like the young madam will be in danger."
For Dane, Dominic was simply being petty because his boss wanted to monopolize the young madam's time. Knowing Dominic, he probably didn't appreciate that Heaven had to go to Paula when she should be with Dominic. But then again, Dane had a glimpse of Paula's message. Thus, a part of Dane's heart understood his boss's other concern.
"Tsk." Dane clicked his tongue in irritation as he fished his phone from his inner suit pocket. "I don't think she's the type to take her own life. With how cunning she was, now I'm worried about the young madam."
