HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 884

Then there were only two possibilities.

They were really there.

Or...

They wanted Cale to believe they were there.

Meanwhile, at TnC's Sun City headquarters, the atmosphere inside the conference room remained tense. Several directors from different divisions sat around the long conference table, while the presentation screen at the front of the room displayed the logistics project that had been the day's primary agenda since morning.

Chris had just signed one of the documents when the phone beside his tablet vibrated softly. Once, twice, then followed by a long vibration as a message appeared on the screen: Emergency Security Protocol Level Red.

Chris's hand stopped moving instantly. His eyes sharpened as he looked at the message on his phone. Without waiting even a second, he opened the notification and found a brief message from Vincent.

Mrs. Lydia and Naomi have been kidnapped. Code Red. If possible, return to Carrington Bay immediately.

Chris's entire body froze instantly.

The color slowly drained from his face, while the pen still in his hand slipped from his grasp and fell onto the conference table. The soft clatter immediately drew everyone's attention toward him.

"Mr. Chris?" one of the directors called out, puzzled by the drastic change in his demeanor.

But Chris did not respond at all. He immediately stood up, grabbed his suit jacket, and strode toward the exit.

Several of the directors called after him almost at once.

"Mr. Chris, the meeting isn't over yet."

"Mr. Chris? What's happened?"

"Wait a minute. What's going on, Mr. Miller?"

None of those questions managed to stop him. The moment the conference room door closed behind him, Chris broke into a hurried run. The secretaries he passed in the corridor had only enough time to turn and stare in confusion as their superior rushed past them without acknowledging anyone.

Less than forty minutes later, Chris was already at the departure terminal of Sun City Airport. He had just finished pressing the airline staff to arrange the earliest possible flight to Carrington Bay when his phone rang again.
