Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 39

David looked up and glanced at him indifferently.

Eddie immediately understood. “I’ll get to it right now.”

Ten minutes later, Eddie entered the conference room with a gloomy expression on his face. A cold

breeze blew in, causing the temperature in the conference room to plunge to zero.

It seemed that someone ignorant had angered David again.

Eddie sorted out his feelings before eagerly walking toward David and handing him the electronic

tablet. “Sir, take a look at this.”

David took the tablet, only to see the scene of Rachel entering the Smith Group.

Staring at the woman’s slender body, David asked with an austere gaze, “Was her resignation

successful?”

“Yeah,” Eddie said, not daring to hide any details of Rachel’s resignation. He gave a clear explanation

of everything to David. However, toward the end, he began stuttering a little.

David frowned and glared daggers at Eddie.

Eddie cleared his throat and said carefully, “We couldn’t find any traces of where Miss Grey went. After

she left the Smith Group, the surveillance cameras within the vicinity all malfunctioned.”

That could only mean that someone had deliberately hidden the details of where Rachel went.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be a massive snowstorm in the

conference room.

With a sullen gaze in his eyes and his lips pressed tightly together, David exuded a terrifying sense of

oppression.

When he sensed the man’s austere aura, Eddie, who stood at the side, couldn’t help but have a layer

of tiny sweat droplets break out on his forehead.

He knew that David was really exasperated.

After hesitating and dilly–dallying for a moment, he carefully said, “Mr.

Jones, I’ve already sent people to check on this. I believe we’ll have an outcome soon.”

“How soon is soon?” the man asked in a slow and deep voice that would make one shudder.

Eddie trembled with a feeling of dismay, thinking that he was definitely going to get criticized for his

inefficiency.

Just as he was about to speak to make up for it, David suddenly stood up and said, “The meeting shall

end here.”

After saying that, he strode away and left the conference room. His legs were long and slender.

Eddie frantically packed up the things on the table and chased after David. At the same time, he called

his friend and urged him to speed up the investigation.

By the time he reached the office, he had received the information. After skimming through the content

quickly, Eddie’s gaze became complicated.

The moment he entered the office, he didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly handed his mobile phone to

David. “Mr. Jones, please take a look.”

While looking through the information, David’s stern face eased a little, and his menacing aura faded

too.

There even seemed to be a faint smile on his lips. He muttered softly, “So it’s the Johnson family…”

“Mr. Jones, do we continue investigating further?”

After that experience just now, Eddie didn’t dare to relax when it came to Rachel.

In fact, he even secretly made up his mind to inform David immediately whenever there was new

information about Rachel.

Eddie stood still for a long time, but David still had not reacted.

Eddie looked over in puzzlement, only to see clearly David’s every move in the reflection of the floor–

to–ceiling glass window, which seemed to be a mirror.

The man had his back facing Eddie and was sending a text message with his head hung low. Eddie

couldn’t help but smirk.

Since he got Rachel’s number, David had never chatted with her properly. The last message in their

chat was of Rachel suggesting they visit Old Mrs. Jones.

David tapped his long and slender fingers against the keyboard. [What are you doing?]

Before sending it, he hesitated and decided not to do so as he thought that he might be prying into her

privacy by asking that.

He frowned and quickly edited the text message. He retyped, [Have you eaten?]

However, he thought it wasn’t a good idea either because it sounded corny and insincere.

After editing the message for a long time, David eventually sent a rose emoji without any words.
