Samantha didn’t give up and followed North. “What do you want to eat? Shall I get you something to eat?” Getting irritated, North halted his footsteps. “Don’t follow me.”
Despite the rejection, Samantha said, “I’m just worried about you. If you want to have fun outside, I can accompany you. But you can’t run around, as there are many bad people nowadays!”
However, North only walked faster. There was a washroom not far from him, but there was only one surveillance in the corridor, and there was no camera in the washroom. With limited vision, Eugene could only see Samantha follow him in, but he didn’t know what happened there. It didn’t take a while until North ran out to sprint for the president’s office.
There was no doubt that Samantha must have frightened that child! Upon seeing that, Eugene blamed himself deeply. The first moment he saw her, he should have driven her away. He shouldn’t be stubborn to find out the mastermind. If the child was traumatized because of Samantha, nothing could patch up the loss!
While Eugene hugged North tightly, he shouted, “Curtis, bring Samantha over here!” Curtis heard the words and immediately responded. “Don’t be afraid, North. I will kick her out right. away.”
Despite the reassurance, North was still trembling. “I-I think she’s Anna.” This was news for Eugene. “Anna Maxwell? How did you figure it out? What did she say to you?”
North answered, “She asked me why you never let her go into the office lately. I answered that she should ask you about it. Then, she asked me why I didn’t like her. I said I didn’t dislike her. Afterward, she said she liked me and tried to ask me to put in some good words for her. The way she pinched my cheeks and looked at me, she looks just like Anna!”
After North finished talking, Eugene turned serious. Then, he patted North’s back. It made sense why North was so afraid of her. She was Anna, the criminal that almost killed North. He must’ve been terrified!
Afterward, Eugene dialed Curtis’ number. “So you found her?” In response, Curtis answered, “No, President Nolan. I’ll check for her in the monitoring room.” North said, “I have locked her up in the washroom. Maybe you should check there?”
Then, Eugene quickly gave another order. “Check the washroom, now!” After a while, Curtis came back. “President Nolan, I can’t find Samantha. I asked the security guard at the front door, and he said that Samantha had already left the company.”
Upon hearing that, Eugene frowned. Anna had plastic surgery and came to the Nolan Group. She had an ulterior motive! Did she want to take the child away again?
He cautiously looked at the hourglass in the corner of the desk. Could there be a problem with this hourglass? Then, he took the hourglass and observed it. Except for the faint scent it emitted, it was nothing special.
In the end, he still felt disturbed and threw the hourglass into the trash can. After that, he gave another order. “Send someone to search for Samantha.”
Immediately, Curtis responded and walked away. Then, Eugene looked at North and reached out his hand to pat North on his head. “Don’t be afraid. You did a great job today. You were a brave child. You recognized Anna and even locked her in the washroom!”
Still, North swallowed his saliva and blinked his eyes. “How did she escape from the washroom?”
Eugene deliberately gave a compliment. “Maybe someone entered the washroom from outside and unlocked the door. Fortunately, you came to the company. Otherwise, I would still see her as a capable secretary of mine! Wow, my son is so awesome!”
Although North knew that Eugene was exaggerating, he was still proud of himself. “Took you long enough to realize that!’ In response, Eugene laughed. “I’ve always known that my son is the best.”
As he spoke, Eugene took out his phone. “I’l call your uncle and ask if Anna is still in the psychiatric hospital.”
