Chapter 39 The Familiar Figure Didn't Appear
When Austin returned home, it was already noon of the next day after Yolande was kidnapped.
He walked out of the venue tiredly. A few hours of meeting and the reason for not having a good rest caused his eyes to be bloodshot. He went downstairs, looked around and ordered a bowl of noodles from a restaurant. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
This restaurant was delicately decorated and the noodles tasted delicious. As he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to eat until the meeting began and he felt empty in his stomach, so he began to eat the noodles with full attention.
Then, several tinkling sounds were heard
"Have you bought the ticket?" He asked.
"Well, I have bought the airline ticket. Mr. Lin, you will board in an hour." Said the assistant.
"Okay, I see. Anything else? "
"Nothing special, Mr. Lin."
The assistant intended to tell him that Mrs. Lin didn't come to the company for a meeting and delayed the financial project. But on a second thought, he didn't think it's a good idea. It should be told after Austin comes back.
Austin put his phone on the table and continued to eat the noodles. He had no idea what Yolande was doing at the moment. Perhaps, she was gathering her own department to discuss a project plan. He was a little disappointed that she didn't text him.
After eating the noodles, he asked the waiter to pay the bill and was going to the airport to take the plane back.
Sitting in the security hall, he closed his eyes and took a break. He wanted to give her a call, but when he looked at the screen of the phone, he controlled himself. He would come back in an hour, and then he could see her.
Since Yolande had lived in his home, he could see her almost every day. They were in the same company, so Austin was more dependent on her.
The plane landed
When he came out of the airport, the driver was already waiting for him outside. The driver got off and spoke to him respectfully.
"Mr. Lin, thanks for your hard work. Are we going back to the company now?"
"Let's go back to the company." Said Austin.
The driver opened the door for Austin. There was still some distance between the airport and the company. He leaned against the seat back and decided to take a nap. When they arrived at the entrance of the company, the driver woke him up.
"Mr. Lin, here we are."
He straightened his suit, got off the car and entered the elevator to the top floor.
"Is Mrs. Lin in the office now?" He asked a financial staff.
The financial staff looked so embarrassed that she couldn't give a clear answer after stuttering for a long time. He frowned and didn't understand why the employee felt embarrassed.
"Mrs. Lin didn't come to work today." The employees hesitated.
Originally, Yolande planned to have a meeting with the financial department to discuss an important financial project. The meeting was very urgent. The specific matters had been arranged yesterday, and the meeting time had been set. Unexpectedly, she did not see Mrs. Lin yet when the sun rose high.
The financial department panicked. If they couldn't finish the project plan as soon as possible, this project would be taken away by other big companies. She called Mrs. Lin, but no one answered. The loyal employees of the company all had different opinions on Mrs. Lin. As Mr. Lin was not in the company, she also didn't come back to work. Apparently, she only admired the money of Austin to marry him. She didn't care about her job, and stood up the employees as she liked.
"You said Mrs. Lin didn't come to work this morning?" Austin asked.
The employee nodded and then left with the documents. Austin was confused. Since Yolande worked as the financial director, she was serious and considerate. He knew that there was an important meeting at the financial department today. Logically speaking, she wouldn't have forgotten it and wouldn't have left the company at such a critical moment.
He had a bad feeling that she was ill.
Instead of entering his office, he went downstairs and drove back to the Lin family's villa. When he arrived at home, he got off the car and rushed home. He was changing his shoes at the door and didn't hear the familiar voice. An ominous premonition arose in his heart. He changed into a cotton slipper, and Mona approached him.
"Mr. Lin, you are back."
Mona looked tired and restless. Austin had a worse feeling.
"Where is Mrs. Lin? Why didn't she come out? "
"Mr. Lin, why don't you sit down and have some tea first?"
Mona looked evasive, but didn't seem to plan to say anything. Austin had a bad feeling and looked around. But he didn't see the girl he wanted to see.
"Mona, I came back directly after the meeting. I went to the company first, but Yolande was not in the company. So I went back home to check if she is in her room? Is she sick? " He said anxiously.
With the help of the police, Alice was hoping to find Yolande as soon as possible. However, she failed to find the right way to explain to her young master when she saw his anxious face. Mr. Lin's physical condition has been getting worse than before, and he is even weaker than before. For his health, teh truth should be concealed as long as possible.
"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu will come back late. But you hurried back as soon as finished the meeting. I'm sure you haven't had a good rest. Why don't you go to bed first?"
Noticing that Mona was distracted, Austin speculated that she must be hiding something from him. He believed that Mona was not going to tell him the truth. A bad feeling overwhelmed his breath.
He held the ladder upstairs and opened the door of Yolande's room. He looked around but didn't find her. The bed was neat and the leaves on the windowsill were dry. Apparently, the flower owner forgot to water it regularly. The photo of him and her showing their marriage registration was placed on the bedside. In the photo, her eyes were stubborn and unyielding.
His heart sank, as if something valuable had been lost. He was afraid that she would never come back.
Austin looked around the villa and was sure that Yolande wasn't in every corner of it. He seemed to have understood something. He loved her. As for her, he was just a partner who could help her revenge plan. Maybe until now, she still couldn't let Aron go in her heart.
Perhaps she was tired of Mrs. Lin's identity, and she didn't know how to explain to him, so she chose to leave. He opened the closet of Yolande. All her clothes were there, fully hung in the closet.
She wasn't that greedy woman. If she wanted to leave, she wouldn't take a penny from him. Tired, Austin lay on her wide bed and touched the sheet that she had slept on, smelling the scent from it.
This woman... Whenever she could easily touched his every nerve. He had loved her silently for many years. He had thought that he could only have her by his side in this way. He had never expected tha she left in the end.
