Chapter 272 - Lily is Missing (1)

Lance stayed at the back garden of the hotel to make another call to President Martin. After the call, he stayed for a couple of minutes before he decided to go back inside the hotel. When he returns most of the staff and cast has already left and went back to their respective rooms.

But a couple of artists including Lily and her manager were left drinking alcohol. Lance's brows furrowed at the sight of Lily drinking again. He contemplated if he would stop her or not. But she is surrounded by other artists so he decided that he should just let her. After all, she is with her manager. Nothing should happen to her. So, he decided to go upstairs to his room.

Lily who was drinking saw Lance went to the elevator in the corner of her eyes. She felt dismayed that Lance didn't even care about her. The last time she got drunk, she was surprised that it was him that send her home, so she thought that he has at least a little care about her. Little did she knows that they were just set up by her friends.

When she followed Lance at the back garden of the hotel she accidentally heard him told her sister in law that she is drinking and he even asked her if he should care about her drinking. It turns out that he doesn't care if she gets drunk again, as long as he is not around her. As long as she won't give him any trouble. She felt downcast when the reality dawned on her.

When Lance returned to his room, he kept himself busy on his laptop. But he was feeling uneasy, he would sometimes, walk back and forth. Then he would turn on the TV which he usually never does. He is not fond of watching TV. He would scan the channels then turn it off. Then he would go back working on his laptop. After one hour of uneasiness, he didn't finish working on anything.

Lance couldn't take it anymore so he grabbed his jacket and strode out of his room. He went back to the bar of the hotel were Lily and her manager along with other artists were left drinking. When he came back, he noticed that they were all gone, so he assumed that they all went back to their respective rooms.

When he was about to leave, he bumped into Sarah. She looked worried and frustrated holding her phone into her ear calling someone.

"Mr. Kho!" Sarah was surprised to see him. Everyone is already resting in their rooms, so she was surprised to see that Lance is still awake at this hour.

Lance sensed something so he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Sarah hesitated to tell him but then she realized that she needed help, and Lance has helped her already in the past with Lily.

So, she stepped closer to him and said in a low and worried voice. "Miss Lily is missing."

Lance looked around. He knows that Sarah didn't want anyone to hear what they are talking about. In a much lower voice he asked, "What do you mean she's missing?"

Sarah went to narrate what happened. Apparently, when Lily came back, she became a little emotional and just keeps on drinking, Sarah tried to stop her but Lily said that she would be fine, she just needed a drink. She said that she will eventually stop if she thinks that she is already getting tipsy. But as time goes by, she didn't stop, other artists even encouraged her, they haven't seen her drink like that. So, Sarah decided to just let her because she seemed to be having a problem. She would just have to keep an eye on her. And once she falls asleep, she would just take her to her room quietly.

Soon everyone left, leaving her and Lily.
