Mr. Perfect

Chapter 42: The Proposal

Evan (P.O.V.):

"Excuse me, there are some final things that we have to finish up." The interviewer said.

"Just give me five minutes," I said, looking around. "It's really important."

He sighed, looking unsure of what he should do at the moment.

"Please," I said.

"Alright, Mr. Owens." He said. "I already told you to consider this job yours. You got five minutes, but please hurry up."

"Thank you."

I left the room, looking for Faith.

Shortly before the interview was over, I saw her sitting right where I told her to sit, then next thing you know, she was not there.

I called her number many times, but it still says unavailable.

"Where the hell is she?" I muttered to myself.

The hall started to become full of people, making it difficult for me to find her.

I returned to where she was sitting to ask the people around her if they had seen her.

Every person that I asked said that they didn't see her.

"Excuse me," I said to a lady by the water machine.

"Yes." She replied.

"Have you seen a girl that looks about five foot, two inches? She has green eyes and brownish-black hair."

"Is she wearing a black dress?"

"Yeah, she's wearing a black dress. Have you seen her?"

"I saw her running into the bathroom like ten minutes ago."

"The bathroom?"

"Yes."

I sighed heavily, realizing that I couldn't walk into the girl's bathroom just like that.

"I know this is too much to ask, but she's taking too long, and I just want to make sure that she's okay," I said. "Can you please check if she's in there?"

"Of course." She said. "I will go check it for you."

"Thank you so much."

She nodded her head, heading into the bathroom.

I stood outside the bathroom, pacing back and forth.

It's been ten minutes since Faith entered the bathroom, and she is still not out yet.

Something is definitely up.

The lady came out of the bathroom.

"Is she in there?" I immediately asked. 

"No, she's not." The lady said. "I checked every stall, but she's not there."

I clenched my teeth, feeling frustrated.

"However, I found this." The lady said, handing me something.

I looked at her confusedly, taking it.

It's Faith's pendant.

The last memory that she has of her mother.

The pendant, for which she punched me in front of the whole school.

Faith is not in the bathroom, but her necklace proves she has been there.

Something must have happened, or she must have been struggling with someone, and that's when she dropped her pendant on the bathroom floor.
