Chapter 417 I Lost My Watch
Nick Cage stared at her with dusky eyes. The ambiance inside the car was unbearable.
There was silence. He took his cellphone out from his pocket and dialed a number, "Tell all the employees to leave the TV station..
Veronica Parker looked out the car window and glanced at the building where the TV station was. Each window was covered by privacy film, so it was impossible for her to see what was happening inside.
She took her eyes away from the building and pretended to care less.
She was worried that he might be suspecting her. She could not think of the reason why he would ask all the employees to leave.
His cellphone rang. She wondered what news the caller has told him this time. Was it about the watch?
The car door opened. Nick Cage went out, followed by Veronica Parker. They walked towards the entrance.
There were no people around. It was so hushed that she could hear their footsteps.
Every sound of their footstep was like a thump to her heart. She was like a cat on a hot tin roof as they get closer to the office.
She felt his tyranny as she opened the door.
She went to the desk and opened the drawer. She took a bracelet out and put it on the table. She scoured on the drawer to look for the watch.
"I can't find the watch! I put it here with the bracelet," she anxiously said.
Nick Cage felt something odd about her. His anger grew as if he wanted to kill someone.
"You can't find it?", he said in a threatening look.
"Yes. I put it in this drawer. It doesn't make sense. The bracelet is here but not the watch", she mindlessly said as she continued to cast around the drawers.
"Are you sure?" he grabbed her wrist. It was so tight.
"I'm sorry. I didn't expect to lose it. I will try to find it somewhere..."
She wasn't able to finish what she was saying when Nick Cage took his phone and showed her a picture of a woman wearing the watch.
She couldn't believe what she saw. She was blown away.
He stared at her. His eyes were torturous.
The woman in the photo was Rachel Hamilton. Knowing her, she would show-off the watch regardless of how she got it.
"Why is she wearing my watch?"
Veronica Parker was confused. She thought with the money Rachel Hamilton has, she could easily buy a watch like hers.
He pulled out his cellphone. There were only two designs of this watch, one was for males and the other one for females.
She looked at Nick Cage. His expression showed he knew it was her watch.
They went to check for the CCTV footage. She didn't see Rachel Hamilton around, but there was one person acting suspiciously around that time. It was Bella.
She could only think of one thing – Bella stole the watch and gave it to Rachel Hamilton.
Did Rachel Hamilton take the picture of the watch and send it to Kay Tours right after she got it? Or maybe Kay Tours just saw her photo on social media?
Rachel Hamilton knew the watch was a gift from Nick Cage. She knew that posting its photo on social media would alert him.
This woman would absolutely have a great future in the entertainment industry.
She was not sure if Bella was the one who stole and gave the watch to Rachel Hamilton, but she was certain of one thing – Rachel Hamilton was an idiot!
Veronica Parker was stressed to the point that she lost control and fell into Nick Cage's arms.
There was silence. She could hear her augmented breathing and heartbeat.
"Why are you agitated?" he asked.
Every nerve in her body flexed as she looked into his eyes.
"I lost my watch."
