Rules of Engagement Chapter 33 Wait for Me, Elsa (Part Two)

Coy followed them out as well. Elsa didn't think too much while rushing to the downtown.

She unfolded the piece of paper in the car. The words on it were scribbled in disorder, but she could tell
that it was a stranger's name. She had thought too much. How could it be Soren! She had seen
Soren's handwriting before. Although she didn't read it carefully, she had a good impression of him
because it's a habit of her job. Soren's handwriting was strong and powerful, but the brushwork also
showed his mildness, which gave people a strange sense of harmony. It was just like himself, who was
bold in his suit, but was mild in front of Elsa. The only suitable way to describe this feeling of him would
be outwardly gentle but inwardly stern.

Soren was just a special being like this, a mixture of these two contradictory temperaments.

Soren, the name haunted Elsa's mind again.

"Are you acquainted with anyone in the army, Zaza?" Johnny asked.

Elsa shook her head, then nodded, but she didn't want to talk about it. Thinking of Jane, she looked out
of the window and asked the driver, "When can I get there please?"

"We are almost there."

On the way, Johnny received a call. He lowered his voice but Elsa still could hear the word "Tina". Tina,
Tina Zeng, only for a moment of trance, Elsa took her mind back. After finishing the phone call, Johnny
apologized, "Sorry, Zaza, I have something urgent to do now, so I can't go with you."

"Okay." Elsa nodded. She didn't need him anyway.

As soon as she got out of the car, Elsa run into the police station. Leaning against the ground, Jane ran
to Elsa and hugged her, crying loudly, as soon as she saw her.



Elsa asked worriedly, "Janie, did they hit you? Are you okay?"

"No, no. but they kept forcing me to admit that I had stolen something and wouldn't let me do anything
if I refuse to admit it."

Elsa knew Jane well. How could she steal? She said to the two policemen beside her, "You must have
made a mistake. How could my friend steal other people's things?"

The policeman rolled his eyes at her and said impolitely, "Evidence was presented here."

"Zaza, I'm just worried about little Bun. My mother doesn't feel well, and little Bun has caught a cold
again. I'm really worried about them."

"Janie, don't worry! I'll go to your home to look after them later. Now, tell me what had happened,
okay?" Her gentle voice calmed Jane down.

There was an evening party held by the company which Jane worked for. As the special assistant to
the general manager, she had to attend it. She was wearing the dress that was given by Susie's shop
when she had been shopping with Elsa last time. Then, she wore the key-formed necklace which Elsa
had given to her. On the halfway of the party, the necklace was a little loose. Since the party was about
to end, she was afraid that she might lose it, so she took it off and put it in her bag.

However, when the event was over, a vice manager said that she had lost her necklace which was very
important to her, and she needed to search among all participants for it. Jane didn't take it seriously.
She just wanted to go back home to keep little Bun company after the search. Unexpectedly, when the
vice manager found the necklace in her bag, she asserted that it was hers.

The necklace was from Elsa, of course Jane wouldn't admit it. After making every effort to argue for
herself, the vice manager called the police. When the police arrived, the vice manager took out a photo



of her wearing the necklace, and pointed out an evidence on the necklace, so the police took Jane
away in front of everyone of the company.

Not until Jane arrived at the police station did she know that there was an unimpressive "X" on the
necklace, and the vice manager of the company happened to be Chloe Xu. The "X" was the shortened
form of her surname. No matter how hard Jane tried to explain that the necklace was borrowed from a
friend and there was also an "X" in the friend's name, the police didn't believe her. She had no choice
but to call Elsa.

"Elsa, have you kept the receipt of the necklace you bought? Words alone are no proof. They just don't
believe me."

"This necklace was a gift from Soren's grandparents. Please wait for a moment. I'll call them," said
Elsa. She looked at the time. It was not a good time, but she had to make the call. Fortunately, Soren
told her to show around frequently to his grandparents' home to get free meals, and saved his
grandparents' telephone number in her phone. Otherwise, she would have no way to contact them at
this time.

Sometimes, she really appreciated his consideration.

It was Donna who answered the phone. She said with great regret, "Sorry, Elsa, Mr. Zed and Mrs. Mia
are not at home. They went back to their hometown."

"When will they come back?"

"It's hard to say. They left the day before yesterday. It will take a few days anyway. But Mrs. Mia said
that you can come for dinner when you are free. You can come here at any time."

"I will. Thank you, Donna."



A little disappointed, Elsa hung up the phone. She called Soren again and again, but nobody
answered. She had no choice but to give up.
