Bonnie sat up in her seat and stared dazedly in the direction Jim had left. Where was he going? Was
he leaving his car here? What was she going to do? Bonnie furrowed her brows and immediately took
out her phone to call Jim.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable …” the operator’s cold, emotionless voice rang out
from the other end of the line.
Bonnie dialed his number again, and every time the call went through, the same automated voice
would echo.
Jim was still on the phone with his assistant when he heard a second call coming in. He furrowed his
brows and glanced at the screen.
The screen displayed Bonnie’s number, and he instinctively sneered.
How shameless was this woman? She knew that he did not want her to find out about what he was
doing here, yet she was calling to bug him. The more she pestered him, the more repulsed he felt
toward her!
With that, Jim blocked her number and continued talking on the phone to his assistant.
“Have you stopped the man?”
The midday sun was beating down harshly on Bonnie’s skin.
With the engine turned off and the car locked, Bonnie could not even wind down the windows.She was
covered entirely in sweat as though she was a fish out of water.
The sweat crept into the wound on her belly, making it tingle and itch slightly.
Bonnie called Jim over and over, but no matter how many times she did this, she could not get through
to him.
Finally, as her phone battery was about to die, she tried to call Luna, but Luna’s phone had been turned
off too.
Joshua’s was the same.
Bonnie closed her eyes and could not help letting out a bitter chuckle. What was going on with these
two, having their phones turned off in the middle of the day? Were they up to some naughty stuff?
Bonnie made a mental note to tease them about this the next time she saw them. The sun seemed to
grow hotter and hotter, and by this time, beads of sweat were clinging onto Bonnie’s lashes.
Her vision was starting to blur. Clutching her phone and scrolling through her contacts one last time,
Bonnie finally decided to call Sean.
“Hello?” his clear voice rang out from the other end of the line.
“What’s up, Ms. Craig?”
“Help me.” Bonnie forced herself to lift her head and glance out the window.
“I’m parked… next to a restaurant named Four Seasons and Rainbow Kindergarten.
“I’ve been locked inside a car…please…please help me…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she passed out.
“Ms. Craig? Ms. Craig!” Sean shouted into the phone, sensing that something was seriously wrong.
“Don’t fall asleep!” He picked up his jacket and continued yelling into the phone as he stormed out the
door,” Don’t fall asleep, Ms. Craig! Look outside the window. What other buildings do you see?
“They’re too many restaurants and kindergartens by those names in this city!” However, there was no
reply. Sean furrowed his brows and got ready to head out.
“Sean.” Suddenly, Nikki strode over to grab his arm, then stared up at him with a pitiful expression.
“Are you heading out to find Ms. Craig? Can you not go, please?”
