CHAPTER 211
After Bai Xiaojin was sure that driver Jun had left and will not come anytime soon, seeing as he had to wait for five people to get their ice cream, Bai Xiaojin immediately opened the door of the car and billed into the hotel\'s entrance without hesitating for a single second.
Once Bai Xiaojin had successfully gotten into the hotel, he was amazed and a little scared at the number of people inside the lobby either sitting down or standing by a tall table with pretty women working behind a computer. While some were being escorted by workers with their suitcases to the elevator.
Bai Xiaojin pushed his fear out of his head. He did not want to be scared of people while his mother was in danger.
While he was searching for his mother, Bai Xiaojin has unknowingly caught the attention of some people at the lobby. But he was oblivious of the fact as his eyes scanned through the people there. After concluding that she was not there, he walked towards a free elevator that a man just stepped out from. So he entered.
Bai Xiaojin had experienced riding in an elevator before his knew his eat around things. He pondered on the floor his mother might me and immediately remembered what that tall mam that came to meet his mother say. Something about hid boss being on the thirtieth floor.
Feeling happy, he pressed the button of the floor number and the elevator closed.
Meanwhile, Bai Renxiang had excused herself to go and use the restroom. Then, she remembered that the driver and Bai Xiaojin were still waiting for her outside the building.
"Gasp. Holy mother of Christ. I lost track of time. Thank goodness I brought my phone with you the restroom. Let me quickly call driver Jun," she said as she uocjrd her phone and fished out the driver\'s phone number and called him.
Driver Jun was worried about the people he had to wait for to get their ice cream before be did. He looked several times at his car to see if his little master was still inside. But due to the fact that the car was tinted, he could not see anything- just black.
He sighed once it got to his turn. He ordered a chocolate flavour ice cream and waited patiently for it to be brought. Deep down, within himself, he was happy that his little master has not started crying and shouting out to him. It would have been embarrassing.
Just then, he got a call from Bai Renxiang. He sighed in relief as he quickly pick the call.
"Hello, young miss," he said.
"Ah! Driver Jun. I am very sorry for not calling earlier. I totally lost track of time," she apologised.
"You do not have be sorry miss. It is just that, the little master was really worried about you," he said.
"Oh my baby. Can you pass him the phone?"
"Uhm... That... The little master is not close by," he said and scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"What? Where is he? No, where are you, Jun?" Bai Renxiang asked.
"That... Uhm, the little master kept on crying and hitting me and asking so many questions about where you are and why you has not returned. So, I told him that you might be rounding off with work," he paused to know if she was still on the line.
"Go on. I am listening."
"Ahem! I told him that I would get him an ice cream cone from across the road so that g could eat before you arrive. He agreed," the driver finally finished his explanation.
"Oh! Alright. I understand. Take care of him. I will soon be done with the meeting. Tell that I am sorry and I love him," she said
"Alright miss. Let me leave you to carry on with your work," he said.
"Alright."
By the time driver Jun was done with the call, payment and all, he walked back to the car feeling happy that his young miss would soon been done with her work. That means the little master will stop whining and crying and hitting him.
If only he knew that the little kid he bought that they ice cream was no longer in the car.
Driver Jun whistled a happy tune as he crossed the road and walked to the car. He could imagine the happiness and relief that his little master would have once he if the good news and the treat to go with it.
"Little master Bai Xiaojin, I got your ice cream and guess what. It is your fav-"
GBAGHAN
The car was empty. No, it was not empty. A little school bag and lunch box was still lying on the chair. But, the boy, his little master was no where to be found. The ice cream driver Jun was holding slipped from his hand and dropped on the floor.
"Oh no! Where has the little master run of to?" He asked no one in particular.

Inside the hotel, in the thirtieth floor. Bai Xiaojin was walking around the empty corridor. He had no clue of where his mother would be.
He even went as far as checking different room doors to see if she was inside. But it turned out that most rooms in that floor were empty while some were locked.
But there was one door at the end of the long corridor. It was a little bit tall and wide. Bai Xiaojin steeled himself and walked up to the door. As soon as he twisted tgeknib, and oushed, the door opened.
Without even thinking about who may be inside or what they may be doing, he ran in.
Then, he saw him. The man that gave him that toy car outside his school. The cool man he has considered his friend and asked if he would be his father.
"Mister!" Bai Xiaojin shouted as he ran to him.
Li Fengjin was surprised to see Bai Xiaojin in the hotel.
"Help me. My mummy is missing."
