After pouring a glass of wine for Dorothy, he surreptitiously sent a message to Hayden back then. Hayden replied promptly, instructing him to "take care" of Dorothy first because he wasn’t a fan of women who struggle.

As time ticked by, even after the steak had been consumed, Dorothy still hadn't returned.

Things felt off to Hayden.

He shot Gabriel a look. "Go see what's up. Check if she’s drunk.” "Sure." With that, Gabriel rose and headed towards the restroom.

However, when he entered the bathroom, he realized there wasn't a soul in sight.

He instantly felt a sense of dread, but he reasoned that Dorothy, if she were to leave, would at least say goodbye. She wouldn't just vanish.

Unless she was so drunk that someone had taken her.

Quickly, Gabriel took out his phone to call Dorothy. But no one picked up.

After a moment, he dialed Lane's number. "Hello, Mr. Lane." "Yes, what's up?" "I'm the manager of Verity Holdings Limited. We were having dinner with Ms. Sanchez. She was quite merry and had some wine, then excused herself to the restroom. But she hasn't returned, and she’s not answering her phone." "What?!" Lane's tone spiked instantly. "She's drunk? You got her drunk?!" Gabriel hurriedly tried to clarify. "No, we were having a good time, and Hayden happened to have a bottle of wine for tasting. Ms.

Sanchez wanted some, and so..." "Find her immediately! Call the police if you must! If anything happens to her, | will not let Verity Holdings Limited off the hook!" The call ended abruptly. Gabriel stood dumbfounded for a moment before bolting out of the door.

After seeing him, Hayden looked past Gabriel. "Where is she?" "She's gone! | tried calling her, but she didn't pick up, so | contacted the boss of East Star Enterprises. He seemed to care a lot about Ms. Sanchez." Gabriel licked his lips nervously before continuing. "Hayden, | think... we shouldn't mess with this woman.

We can't afford to upset East Star Enterprises over this. Let's deny any involvement with the wine and say that she drank too much on her own." Hayden was naturally displeased. He was anticipating a romantic evening.

"What a mess you've made!" "I'm sorry, | didn't expect this. East Star Enterprises’ boss, Lane, seemed very concerned about Ms. Sanchez. Maybe he's had his eye on her for a while now. We better not compete with him." What else could Hayden do at this point? He rose from his seat, wiped his mouth, and tossed his napkin onto the table. "You handle the rest. Follow your own plan.” "Okay, don't worry. I'll take care of it." Gabriel watched as Hayden left, then quickly turned to the restaurant staff. "Pull up the surveillance footage for me. | need to see where the woman who came with me went." "Sure, follow me. When did you last see the lady?" "She said she was going to the restroom.” The waiter paused and adopted an apologetic tone in his voice. "There's no surveillance camera around the restroom area, and the one at the entrance isn't working. We might only have footage of her heading to the restroom.” Gabriel was instantly filled with a sense of regret.

He should have thought twice before scheming against Ms. Sanchez. A woman as beautiful as her would definitely catch the eye of the boss of East Star Enterprises. How could he have been so blind to not see that?
