Chapter 496: Where the hell is she!

Sweat broke on her forehead and she gulped nervously as she frantically moved her eyes. ’What is he doing here?’ she thought.

Mia had been careful on her way here. Even in her frustrated state, she kept her eyes around making sure, he wasn’t around, but...

As if losing her strength to even turn and excuse herself felt difficult for her in this situation. She felt trapped but she also knew she had to answer him somehow to ease this building tension.

Taking a moment, Mia tried to ease her beating heart and finally decided to turn.

The moment their eyes met, she saw Riel smiling at her in the same way he had been doing for some time now. She could feel her palm turning cold at his twisted gaze, but she decided to remain composed.

Gabriel on the other hand smirked watching her helpless state that she was trying hard to hide. But whom she was trying to fool.

Keeping his eyes fixated on her, Gabriel then took a step ahead only to see her taking a step back. Cocking his brow in amusement, he enjoyed her contemplation.

He took another step just to tease her and she did the same. Gabriel was enjoying the fun of scaring the shit out of her and just when he was another step away from her, she quickly pushed him by his shoulder and ran from the spot.

Mia didn’t care what Gabriel would come to think of her, but she couldn’t handle his creepy ways of scaring her. So when he stepped again, she decided to do the opposite and leave the site as soon as possible.

As she ran from there Gabriel’s face changed from playfulness to serious and he turned to look in the direction she ran off to.

As if getting an affirmation, a cold glint crossed his orbs and he pulled out his phone and made Tristan a call.

"My doubt was right, it’s her" Those words were enough to let the man know what he was talking about.

As soon as he finished conveying, Gabriel ended the call and left from there with a winning smirk appearing on his face.

*****

As soon as Gabriel ended the call, Tristan’s face turned grim. His palm around his phone tightened, ready to crush them as he couldn’t digest the news, he learned.

"Boss, do you want me to bring her to you," Jack who was standing in front of him noticed the subtle change in Tristan and understood the scenario.

’So it’s confirmed. The person is none other than Mia, the former model of Dream Agency’

Tristan snapped out hearing Jack’s words, quickly declining his request. "Not yet Jack. We still haven’t found everything about her" he said.

After failing to find the rider, Jack felt dejected. He tried to use every means to find the person but failed again and again, until one day Tristan asked him to look for Mia.

Averted from his task, Jack immersed his attention on Mia instead of gathering every possible information about her, until that day when Ashley expressed her thought of seeing the same jacket as that of the rider on Jennifer’s new spot girl.

At first, she thought of brushing it off, but then something clicked in her instinct and she decided to perform this act involving Gabriel with them just to confirm their doubt.

Ashley was sure, she wasn’t mistaken, but she just wanted to be confident enough to throw an arrow as an attack on them at the right time.

Now that her assumptions were right, the culprit was finally found, but there was one thing they still had to confirm and that was whether she was somehow involved with her new boss Jennifer.

Jack stood helpless when Tristan refused to give him the command, but he didn’t try to go against his words by expressing his displeasure.

Tristan was a man who worked with facts though his instincts would be highly active, still, he needed everything under control. So when he refused him, Jack understood there was something much more behind the declination.

"But I have something for you to do," he said giving him a meaningful stare to which Jack reciprocated with a ready-to-do look.

Satisfied with his reaction, Tristan explained him everything to which Jack agreed without any second thought and excused himself from the office to follow his orders.

*****

Mia left the set without informing Jennifer. It had been an hour since she tried to reach her but as if she vanished into thin air, Jennifer was unable to connect her.

Her was unreachable and it had started to give her a headache.

"Damn... this useless piece of shit, where did she go" Jennifer snapped in anger when she again failed to reach her.

Mia wasn’t someone who would go against her word, but after returning home when she still didn’t find her, Jennifer began to panic.

Knowing how Tristan’s men were trying to find her, suddenly the thought of her getting caught crossed her mind and she started to feel dread.

"What if they caught he-" Those words slipped out from her mouth automatically but she shut her mouth before she could finish and shook her head in denial.

"No no, I am just stressing for nothing. She must have gone to her old place or something" she muttered coaxing herself from thinking the worst.

She knew Mia wasn’t stupid enough to get caught by Tristan’s men. But then, where the hell was she?

Worried for her, Jennifer was about to step out of the house when she caught the sight of Mia stepping into the house.

She seemed to be too lost to even notice her presence but that didn’t stop Jennifer from marching to her in fury.

"Where the hell were you and why is your phone unreachable" Stopping in front of her Jennifer blocked her way, demanding an explanation.

Mia baffled by Jennifer’s outburst, frowned. She was still upset with the way she talked to her back then and even now she was doing the same.

"Why do you want to know?" maintaining a straight face, Mia snapped back.
