Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 284

284 The search

Oldest brother Feng narrowed his eyes before he got up to leave the room. However, getting to the top of the stairs, he left an instruction to his men who were still inside with Brian and the unconscious Piper. “Don’t give them food and water for five days. I want to see you crawl under me and beg for mercy!” With that, he left and his men followed after a while. 1

Brian breathed a sigh of relief. That should be more than enough time for his people to come to their

rescue.

However, Brian thought too lightly of the situation….

By now, Manager Sarafina had gone wild in her search for Piper.

It’s been three days, yet Piper still can’t be found anywhere and the Police haven’t been able to find out anything about the car. The bones they collected are still under the forensic department for examination and the results aren’t out yet.

Manager Sarafina had gone to find Madam Caroline to ask where Piper was but the woman seemed nonchalant and told her Piper must have gone on a break, however, Manager Sarafina knew Piper too well. That girl won’t go anywhere without her Assistants and guards accompanying her.

After Manager Sarafina had tried to reach Piper on all the platforms she could with no success, took the matter upon herself and reported it to the police, despite her Company’s disapproval.

Rainbow Entertainment was like a stainless glass on the outside but a decayed toilet on the inside. Everyone only saw its goodness, which is why whatever they tell the public stays.

Inside a conference room with less than ten middle–aged men and women sitting around a rectangular table, Manager Sarafina was seen standing erect behind an empty seat with almost everyone in the room glaring at her.

“How could you bring the matter to the public even after we warned you not to?! What do you expect them to think of our Agency? That we can’t control our artist and now she’s gone without seeking permission?!!” The man in the head seat barked at her his face turning red.

“Manager Sarafina, you should have known better than to do this, dragging the Agency through the mud is a wrong mood!” Said another.

“I’m disappointed in you! To think you’re a top manager in the company,” a woman sighed and shook her head.

“Who doesn’t know how Piper is? What if she went out to have fun? So what are we supposed to tell the public on her return?”

They went on and on, throwing a barrage of comments at her, yet the young woman didn’t seem to freak. There was only worry on her face.

“Say something!! Why are you so quiet?!! How are you going to fix this mess??” The man in the head seat yelled at her.

Manager Sarafina finally raised her head and glanced at everyone in the room. “You said you’re

disappointed in me? No, I’m more disgusted to be part of this company!”

The people gasped when they heard her. The impudence!!

“Your artist has been missing for three days and some hours and none of you, none… cares about her situation. What if she was kidnapped? What if she is dead? What if she is sick somewhere? What if

something bad happened? Just what if?!” She screamed.

“What ifs…” One of the women who never cared to say anything since the meeting started finally spoke up, interrupting Sarafina. “The said artist’s mother is not bothered about her ‘missing daughter, so why do you expect the company to care? The mother knows where her daughter is, else she would have been the one In your place right now.” She turned to look at everyone else in the room and said; “If you’ll ask me, I’ll say that this manager here is blowing this matter out of proportion with her assumptions because she’s working for our rivals to bring us down, so something needs to be done immediately!” She concluded.

The others nodded, causing Manager Sarafina to gasp in disbelief. She has an inkling of what these people were trying to do, they’ve been looking for ways to send her packing for a long time now but because Piper only wanted her, they drew back their hands. However, with this incident, they won’t care to know what the truth is since it came from her.

With that in mind, Manager Sarafina turned and walked out of the room. She was going to look for her artist no matter what it takes. Even though it means getting fired.

On her way to the station, she saw a billboard with Jeslyn getting interviewed on a talk show. Her eyes shot open and she immediately pulled the car to a stop by the side of the road, staring at the Billboard to find information on where Jeslyn’s interview was held.

“Jeslyn, do you mind telling us the inspiration behind your debut songs? There are some speculations that it has something to do with your past with your sister, the people want to hear from you.” The host, a young and handsome man, asked with a smile. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hehe,” Jeslyn chuckled lightly. “How can people say that?” She hesitated, then smiled sweetly, “The song was written for me, I’m just a rookie, remember?” She concluded with a knowing smile.

“Aha, that’s right. Your fans must have been too excited.”

Jeslyn shielded her mouth with the cup of tea she was offered and smiled.

“That leads us to the next question,” the man raised his card and asked, “how do you feel about your leap to success? Are you scared of how big you’ve become in just a few days? Did you picture this? Or… just tell us something.”

Jeslyn sighed and placed the mug down. “Success, I would say, is a double–edged sword. Scared? You may be correct… only if I made it my priority.”

“Do you mind elaborating? We are dummies. Hehe,” he chuckled and Jeslyn laughed lightly.

“I want to make music. I want to leave a record that I would be remembered by, even centuries from now… that’s possible, right?” She asked with a smile.
