Chapter 49: MISTAKEN
Hailee felt the chilly night wind blowing on her face, as she swung her body on the swing.
She found this park near the bar and thought of waiting for Ian there. However, it seemed that the man had a hard time finding out where she was.
Maybe Ian got lost? It shouldn't take him so long to find Hailee.
As far as that girl could remember, she hadn't walked very far… right? She didn't even remember it correctly… Hailee was too dizzy to think which direction she had taken.
"Ian ... why haven't you arrived yet?" Hailee complained, she then stopped her swing and hugged herself, feeling cold. She should have taken her jacket before leaving earlier, but because of her mind that was too focused on getting away from the bar, Hailee didn't even think about doing that. "I'm hungry ..."she groaned.
Several times Hailee felt her cellphone vibrating, but she just ignored it, because she thought it must be Lexus who was calling her.
However, this time, with the help of the chilly wind of the night, her tangled mind seemed to have unraveled a little so that Hailee could think a little clearer.
It's possible that it was Ian who was calling her.
With that new thought, Hailee reached for the cell phone in her pocket and blinked her eyes to see clearly who the caller was.
And sure enough, it was Ian. The man had tried to contact her more than ten times and had only got lucky this time as his recipient finally chose to answer his calls.
"HAILEE!" Ian shouted impatiently when he heard Hailee's voice greeting him with a 'Hello'.
"Don't scream, my head hurts!" Hailee exclaimed, holding her cellphone away from her ear and holding it just below her mouth like a walkie-talkie.
"How can I not scream?!" exclaimed Ian no less annoyed. "I've been wandering around the area for an hour and didn't find a park at all! Where exactly are you right now?!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHailee frowned. "You really can't be relied on! Can't you find a garden this big!?" Hailee looked up at the surroundings of the garden and saw how vast this place was. There's no way Ian couldn't find this place, right? "Are you drunk?"
"You're drunk!" exclaimed Ian fiercely. He growled in annoyance. "Share your current location. I've called you hundreds of times since earlier!"
"Alright, alright…" said Hailee, relenting. Then she disconnected the ongoing phone call.
With a frowning forehead and blurry eyes, she tried to do what Ian asked, even though it was very difficult, because several times her finger slipped and pressed the wrong button.
However, after several attempts, Hailee finally managed to send her location to Ian and was only about to put her cellphone back in her pocket when it vibrated again.
Then, without seeing who the caller was, Hailee immediately put the phone to her ear while saying; "Come here quickly, I'm hungry."
For a moment, there was no answer from the caller, until a voice which took Hailee by surprise and it was as if her slightly drunk brain had been electrocuted, which then forced herself to regain a little consciousness.
"Okay, wait there."
After saying that short sentence, the line was immediately hung up, leaving Hailee who was still dumbfounded in disbelief at what she had just heard.
Impossible…
But, could it be…?
Timidly, Hailee lowered the cell phone from her ear and checked the last incoming call.
And as if having had a heart attack, Hailee fell to the dirty ground with a tense face.
The one who called her just now was Ramon!
Hailee thought the phone call just now was from Ian, therefore, she immediately picked it up without checking the incoming number first.
"Oh…" Hailee whimpered at her very unlucky fate this time. What would that man do if he found her? Not to mention Lexus. How will Hailee explain her departure later?
==============
"Okay, wait there," said Ramon after he heard Hailee's slightly grumbling voice. This girl was so drunk that she couldn't even think straight. She must have mistaken him for Ian.
"Bro, where are you going?" Lexus held Ramon's hand just as he was about to leave after making a phone call.
They just finished looking at the CCTV showing that Hailee wasn't in the bar area anymore, but they didn't know where the girl went either, after all she had been missing since two hours ago.
"Whom were you calling earlier?" asked Lexus again nosily because Ramon didn't answer his question and instead walked away. "Was it about Hailee? Did you find her? Where is she? I'll come with you, can you take me along?"
Lexus didn't stop his series of questions making Ramon stop walking and stare at him fiercely. "You. Go back home and stay there," Ramon ordered his brother who couldn't stop talking.
"But, I want to help find Hailee, should I mobilize more of our people to search for her?" bargained Lexus. He had a tendency to talk more when he was panicked.
The truth was, there's not much that could panic the always easy-going Lexus, but he'd be in a state of acute stress when it comes to his older brother, Ramon.
"No need, I've found her," replied Ramon who then walked out of the bar when two men opened the door for them.
Not very far from them, a car was waiting for Ramon.
"Is it true? How did you find her?" asked Lexus curiously.
Of course Ramon can find Hailee easily because of the GPS installed on the cellphone that he provided to her. However, Ramon would not tell this to Lexus who couldn't keep his mouth shut and run it amok at the first chance he was given.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Go home," said Ramon as he got into his car and slammed the door shut right in the face of Lexus, not allowing his younger brother to come with him.
Upset? Of course.
Want to get angry? Of course
But Lexus wouldn't dare.
Therefore, Lexus could only stand in his place, looking at the car ferrying Ramon away.
"If you guys fight again later, I don't want to get involved!" grumbled Lexus.
==============
Ian looked at the location Hailee had given him and cursed in a low voice.
"Hailee!" grumbled Ian.
The man looked in disbelief at the screen of his cellphone which showed the location where the girl was.
Based on the location of her cellphone, the park Hailee said was about an hour away. How could Hailee get there?
She must have forgotten that she got on one of the public transportation or taxi and thought the park was only a few minutes away from the bar she was visiting.
But, moments later, Ian's cell phone rang. Hailee called him again.
And before Ian could protest, Hailee's panicked voice could be heard from across the line, making Ian extra alert.
"Hurry up! Ramon is coming here!"
