Chapter 262 Disappear



As Xander walked fast toward his car, he called Alistar.

"Alistar, listen carefully. I need you to call Logan right now. He\'ll give you a Taxi number. You must locate that car and its passenger ASAP and report back to me immediately."

No stranger to Xander\'s sudden demands, Alistar does not hesitate to fulfill the order. However, he has no clue as to why Xander has to find a specific taxi.

Xander started his car engine, impatiently tapping his fingers on the steering wheel while waiting for a call from Alistar. He had to find that taxi before it was too late.

For a minute that felt like a day, Xander grew impatient. He tried calling Scarlett repeatedly, but her phone was still off. His feelings became erratic, too scared of what he thought happened — Scarlett left him.

Xander\'s mind raced as he tried to imagine where Scarlett could be.

"Is she back in her office?" Xander suddenly had a thought. He immediately stepped on the gas and headed down to the RAS Building while calling Cruz.

Waiting for the phone line to connect, Xander doesn\'t stop praying for Scarlett to return to her office. 

...

Cruz\'s heart skipped a beat as he answered Xander\'s call. He couldn\'t believe that his idol, Xander Riley, was actually calling him. "Mr. Xander? Is there anything I can do for you, Sir?" he asked eagerly, hoping to assist.

"Cruz, did my wife talk to you or try to reach you in the last hour?" Xander\'s voice was urgent. Glancing at his watch, Xander realized that Scarlett had left her office fifteen minutes ago, and he was sure she hadn\'t arrived yet at the RAS building.

"Boss Scarlett?" Cruz was taken aback by Xander\'s question. "Isn\'t she in your office, Sir?  She left our office almost two hours ago. She has not yet arrived?"

Xander took a deep breath before saying, "She arrived but suddenly left again. I tried to call her, but her cell phone was not reachable. That\'s why I asked you, did she call you and say anything to you after she left her office?" Xander asked. He was starting to get more and more worried.

"She did call me... Mmm, about five minutes ago. But she just instructed me to do some work and said she wouldn\'t be coming to the office in a few days..." explained Cruz.

Xander\'s heart sank upon hearing Cruz\'s explanation. Now, he was increasingly convinced that Scarlett was angry and avoiding him. 

"Cruz, did she sound okay to you?" Xander asked, his voice filled with concern.

There was a pause on the other end of the line before Cruz replied, "Honestly, Sir, she sounded a little stressed. But I didn\'t want to pry, so I didn\'t ask too many questions." Cruz becomes suspicious if his boss and his idol are fighting. 

Xander let out a sigh. "Okay, thanks for letting me know. If she calls you, please let me know immediately."

"Of course, Sir. Is everything alright?" Cruz asked, sensing the worry in Xander\'s voice.

"I\'m not sure," Xander admitted. "But I have a bad feeling about this."

After hanging up his call with Cruz, Xander tries to call Scarlett\'s phone again, but it goes straight to voicemail. He couldn\'t shake the feeling that he was scared even more. 

Xander decided to return to the R Hotel. Hoping Scarlett was at their temporary residence, waiting for him.

While driving his car, Xander can\'t wait for a call from Alistar. He had been waiting for the results of the investigation for what seemed like forever. Frustration was starting to hit him.

"Why is following Taxi\'s trail so difficult?" Xander muttered to himself.

Just before he wanted to call Alistar, his phone rang. It was Alistar on the line.

"Speak!" Xander barked, trying to hide his frustration.

"Boss, I can\'t find the taxi. It\'s as if the taxi disappeared from the street. I double-checked all the recordings, and it turns out someone had deleted them all," Alistar said helplessly.

"You can get back any deleted video footage related to that taxi, right?" Xander asked desperately. His fury grew as Alistar revealed the truth.

"I did, Boss," Alistar replied, "...but someone attacked me while trying to recover the CCTV footage. They shut down my computers and sent a virus to my server." 

Since Alistar became a professional hacker, it was the first time he had faced someone more cunning than him. And this made him feel annoyed with himself.

Xander realized that the attacker was most likely Scarlett. He had never known how skilled a hacker she was, but it was clear now that she was several levels above Alistar.

His frustration is palpable as he curses under his breath, realizing that he may never find his wife if she wants to stay hidden. 

Feeling helpless and defeated, Xander took a moment of silence before continuing his words, "You solved your problem!" Xander exclaimed, trying to maintain his composure. "And keep looking for that taxi. If there\'s any progress, please let me know."

He ended the call and pulled his car over to the side of the road, feeling the weight of the situation heavy on his shoulders. Taking out his cell phone, he immediately typed a short message, hoping his wife would read the text message and reveal her location.

[Xander: ] Baby, I know you\'re angry right now, but what you saw was a misunderstanding. There is nothing between me and that woman! Trust me!

[Xander: ] Babe... call me please, we must talk.

[Xander: ] Scarlett, my wife, you must hear my reasons first! 

[Xander: ] Where are you now? Please do not be angry, huh!? Please contact me...I beg you (Love Icon)

Xander typed a few messages on his phone before throwing it onto the seat beside him. He leaned back in the car seat and closed his eyes, feeling completely overwhelmed by the sudden disappearance of his wife.

"Dear God," he prayed fervently, his heart heavy with desperation. "Please help me find my wife, Scarlett. I need to talk to her and explain everything. Please guide me towards her, I beg of you."

He hoped and prayed that his plea would be heard and that he would be reunited with his beloved wife soon.
