THE SEARCH
Enrico followed Esmeralda as she left the bar, his eyes locked onto her as she boarded a bus. He quickly got into his car and quietly tailed the bus, determined not to lose sight of her.
When Esmeralda alighted from the bus, she was unaware that she was being followed. She hurried down the street leading to Mr. Gabriel's dorm.
However, Enrico lost sight of her as she entered the street. By the time he found a place to park his car, it was already too late; she was nowhere to be seen. Luckily for him, he had taken a picture of her before she boarded the bus, and he used that photo in his search. He approached several people, asking if they recognized her, but unfortunately, no one could identify her. This was largely because Esmeralda didn't interact with many people; she was too focused on her work.
Minutes ticked by, and Enrico's search yielded no results. Frustrated, he decided to enter a nearby superstore. While he was occupied inside, Esmeralda passed by with Jessica, heading straight for the bus stop.
As Jessica walked back, Enrico was being directed by the store owner to the girls' dorm. It took him a while to locate it since he wasn't familiar with the area, but he was determined to find her.
Arriving at the girls' dorm, Enrico walked in with a confident stride. He moved through the hallway, paying little mind to the stares he received from the girls. Some looked at him with lustful eyes, others were indifferent, and a few wore expressions of fright. They whispered among themselves, their hushed tones loud enough for him to hear.
"Wow! He is so good-looking."
"Is he one of Mr. Gabriel's goons?"
"His shoulders are so broad, and look at how straight his posture is."
"His face is so strong and manly. Mr. Gabriel's goons aren't this handsome."
"Oh gosh! Look at those strong, muscular arms. I bet he's acting all tough to scare us away."
"I'm guessing he is heading toward their room."
"What kind of trouble did Esmeralda get into with Mr. Gabriel?"
The comments kept coming, and Enrico felt an urge to leave. Was this a dorm or a brothel? It was disgusting!
Just a few steps away, two girls caught his attention. They seemed like friends, and one of them spoke up. "Eva, stop lusting. He is definitely a bad guy."
"Yeah, totally my type, so shut up," Eva replied authoritatively, her eyes narrowing. She was once Esmeralda's roommate and had treated her poorly.
