One Meet By Chance

Chapter 35 The Theft Case

Teresa got up early in the morning and did not know what to do after freshening up. Enrique never called her this morning. She wondered if he was up or not. But it looked like she's getting up too early.

Teresa decided to buy some breakfast downstairs. Although she didn't like the changeable weather in M City, she loved the delicious food there.

Whether it was morning tea or afternoon dessert, they were so exquisite that sometimes she felt a little reluctant to eat them.

When Teresa returned to the hotel with the breakfast in her hand, she saw the anxious and worried look on Enrique's face who was standing at the front desk.

"Why didn't you take your phone with you when you went out? Don't you know it is very dangerous?"

Looking at his indignant face, Teresa immediately conceded. She flashed her breakfast at him and ducked into the elevator.

"Humph! You have the nerve to blame me now! Don't you know how many days you've been missing yourself?"

Teresa grimaced and quickly pressed the door of the elevator. But this time she forgot that the door of the elevator was not her own room.

So when there were only her and Enrique in the elevator, she was scared again. At this moment, she had no choice but to concede. After all, the game of wolf eating sheep could not be casually played. Of course, in the game she played the role as a sheep.

"Why don't you admit your fault?"

Enrique pinned her against the corner of the elevator.

Just as Teresa wanted to refute, Enrique kissed her and bit her lips slightly.

"If you talk back again, I will punish you!"

After hearing this, Teresa just lowered her head with red face and kept silent.

He always had a way of making it easy for her to admit his advice, and he always got her up her courage. When had he been able to manipulate her so easily?

When they went back to the room, Enrique had begun to pretend to be sick, telling her that his hand hurt and he couldn't do anything. She had no choice, and she couldn't tell whether he did it on purpose or not. After all, he got hurt in his right hand, and he was not left-handed.

Whenever he needed to use his right hand, Enrique would ask Teresa to do the thing for him.

For example, Teresa just fed him breakfast.

For another example, Teresa had just tied the tie and dressed him.

Enrique put his arm around Teresa's shoulder and was about to take her out for fun. Today's route was university of higher education of the M City. Because Teresa really wanted to visit the C University which was a famous university in the world.

Because the poet Steven Xu that Jerome most admired was graduated from this university. He admired him not only because of his talent but also because of his deep and ardent love for Jessica Lin who was also a famous poet in that age. Even in the end, Jessica Lin did not marry to him but marry to Mr. Liang. He still did not change the attitude with her. Although he didn't live with her as Mr. Liang did, he was already satisfied to chase the steps and the hobby of her.

Right now, Teresa was kind of like him. She even would be satisfied with following Jerome's hobby and visit his favorite University - C University.

The academic atmosphere at C University inspired Teresa and suddenly made her want to study again.

However, they had been getting calls at critical times lately or it rained at critical times. Therefore, they could really understand what was meant by unexpected weather and unpredictable thing.

Because, just as Teresa and Enrique were about to leave the C University library for the next location, it rained again, and it seemed to be raining for quite a while.

At the same time, Teresa's phone rang.

To her surprise, the caller was none other than Claire!

Teresa quickly found a quiet place to answer the phone, and her face suddenly turned pale with surprise and disbelief.

"What happened?" Seeing the expression on Teresa's face, Enrique looked at her in confusion.

"Claire said that our design draft was stolen."

Teresa looked at him in despair, trying to intend Enrique to give some advice to her.

"Let's go to the studio first."

The two of them immediately took a taxi to the studio. When they got off the car, they saw that the gorgeous french windows were broken.

Claire was not surprised to see them together. She told them the specific situation.

All the designed jewelry has not been stolen, except the design draft of those two. Obviously, the thief had a clear purpose.

"Have such things happened before?" Enrique suddenly asked.

Looking at Claire's shaking head, Enrique was completely lost in thought.

If this kind of thing never happened when Claire was designing before, it could only be explained that the reason for the theft case this time was that Claire chose to cooperate with TH Group.

Since it concerned the TH Group, Enrique was less likely to sit idly by.

TH Group was a leading group in the jewelry circle. Although it had a lot of enemies, those with no strength would not dare to make a move against it.

"I have called the police just now. I hope the police can help us find it. But Miss Gu, the design which was stolen can no longer be used as AAR's 120-year anniversary treasure jewelry. We really don't have much time left." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

What Claire said was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, which directly struck Teresa's heart. Of course she knew that there was not much time left, but she really didn't know if there was any other inspirations that could better than the previous ones.

For a moment, Teresa felt unprecedented pressure. If they failed to offer the jewelry items on the anniversary ceremony of AAR anniversary exhibition, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Looking at the messy studio, Teresa suddenly felt that she was really useless. There were so many things she could do nothing about, no matter it was her family or friends. She had to stay aside silly now and just watched the thing happen.

Teresa was not worried about herself, but about Claire's reputation and TH Group's interests.

When Teresa saw Enrique walking back and forth in the studio and trying to find some clues about this, she was gradually relieved.

It was so lucky that he was here.

At last, the police in M City had put this case on record and Claire found someone to send Teresa and Enrique back to the hotel.

However, Enrique had been sitting there brooding since they returned to the hotel.

Teresa didn't know whether to sit or stand. She was afraid of disturbing him, but she was also curious about what he was thinking.

"Teresa, have you found anyone following you these days?"

Hearing the sudden question from Enrique, Teresa did not know what to do and just stand there.

Was there anyone following her? How could a careless woman like her feel it!

However...

"I don't know if he is following me. I saw a man when I returned to the hotel after work from the studio on Monday night, Then I saw him near the studio during the day on Tuesday! I remember he stared at me for a long time, which was very scary."

"What does he look like?"

"I remember him because of his features! He had short hair and looked like an Asian. He had a big face and small eyes, while his nose was pretty strange. And there was a red mark on one side of his neck. I think it might be a birthmark."

She tried hard to recall the strange man and told Enrique.

Hardly had she finished her words when Enrique took out his phone: "Hello, Tony..."
