Chapter 13 Where's Nora

"It's eleven o'clock, Nora hasn't come back yet. How dare she come back so late?"

Asher felt thirsty and went downstairs to pour a glass of water when he heard Ashley's words.

Madge then said: "The country girl has no wide horizon, and her life is disorderly. She must hang out with some strangers!"

Asher felt strange. But when he thought of her attitude towards him yesterday, that feeling soon disappeared.

Anyway, what she did had nothing to do with him.

Madge deliberately said to Asher: "Asher, it doesn't matter if she has a bad lifestyle alone. If it gets out and brings trouble to your reputation, it will be bad. After all, many people have seen her now and know that she is your fiancee. I think this marriage should be retired early, let her go back and leave our house. If she kept living in our house, something bad must happen. We will be responsible for The Howe family, then we will become suckers. "

Asher said faintly: "Grandpa said that this assignment will disappear in three months."

"Three months?" Madge screamed, "I can't stand it for only a few days. You'd better discuss it with your grandfather and drive her away quickly."

"Then you go talk to Grandpa." Asher glanced at Madge.

Madge immediately silenced herself. She would be scolded if she did that.

Asher ignored them and went upstairs.

When he arrived at the study, he saw that the mobile phone on the table lit up and there was a short message prompt.

When he clicked on it, he saw two words: "Help me."

Seeing that it was a strange number, he thought it was a prank. He ignored it and continued to deal with the final work, but he was always a little uneasy.

...

It was already early in the morning, and Asher was lying in bed without drowsiness.

She hadn't come back yet. Where had she gone?

Asher just closed his eyes. Forget it. It had nothing to do with him where she went!

A few seconds later, he turned over. It stood to reason that she didn't know anyone else here and shouldn't come back.

When he thought of the distress message, he suddenly realized something. Asher dug up his chat record with Howard.

In the beginning, Howard sent him Nora's mobile phone number. But Asher didn't save it on his mobile phone.

At this time, he discovered that the distress message was sent by Nora.

Was she in danger?

Asher suddenly sat up and immediately called back, but it was shown that Nora's cell phone was turned off.

He immediately panicked. Couldn't something happen?

He put on his clothes, quickly went out by car. After thinking about it, he could only try his luck at the company first. At least he could ask the security guard there when he saw Nora leave the company.

When Asher arrived at the company, he saw it was dark. When he found the security guard, he was told, "There is something wrong with the circuit. Someone will come to repair it in the morning and it will not delay the employees from going to work."

When asked about Nora, the security guard was stunned. "I didn't see her."

Asher frowned. "She didn't come to work?"

"I saw her come to work in the morning, but I didn't see her come out when I got off work."

The security guard said with certainty: "I'm sure about that."

Recently, Nora was popular in the company. Many people paid attention to her. If Nora passed in front of him, the security guard would not miss her.

So, Nora was still in the company? Then why did she send herself a distress message?

The security guard thought for a moment and said, "By the way, I heard several people talking today, saying that the secretary-general has arranged a lot of work for her and will work overtime for a long time. Is it because she is too tired to work overtime and falls asleep?"

Without too much speculation, Asher could only go upstairs to have a look. The security guard followed him up and lit him up.

"Nora?"

"Nora!"

Asher shouted several times, but no one answered.

Until he walked to Nora's desk, he saw her bag still lying on the table. Looking down, Asher saw two feet.

Asher hurriedly crouched down, and the security guard's light shone down.

Under the light, Asher saw Nora curled up in a ball, pale and shaking uncontrollably.
