Chapter 195 - She switched off the phone (2/2)

Jeremy walked along the arrival gate with a serious face. His flight was an early one until he had no time to contact Ryn. He even had to leave before breakfast in order to catch the flight.

He wished he could say goodbye to her and explained. But when it was the perfect time for her to be wide awake and could be 'disturbed', he had to switch off the mobile phone and waited for the flight to take off.

He pulled the bag along with the project manager following behind. The man was shivering in worry especially when he saw how cold and bad mood his boss was. He did not dare to make a slight noise, afraid it would make his boss angrier.

”Sir,” the manager said after he opened the door of the taxi.

He waited until Jeremy entered the taxi before he took his seat in front, next to the driver. He told the driver their destination and whispered 'please hurry'.

Jeremy crossed his arms and frowned.

”Sir, I will make the appointment with the mayor this evening,” the manager said. He had been contacting the mayor's office but so far he still did not manage to speak with the personal assistant of the mayor.

Once they reached the hotel he booked before they came here, he would continue contacting the mayor and get the appointment set. By hook or by crook, he would get the appointment.

They arrived at the hotel and he went to the registration counter hurriedly. He booked a suite for his boss and a smaller room for himself. Luckily he had the company card to pay the rooms.

Jeremy watched as his manager unlock the door for his suite. He murmured his thanks and entered it, nodding his head slightly when his manager again repeated his assurance that they would meet the mayor later this evening.

Jeremy unbuttoned his shirt and lied on the long couch. His hand reached for his phone automatically from the pocket of his pants and switched it on.

Instead of calling his parents or even his little sister, he called Ryn.

But there was no answer. In fact, it seemed like he could not contact her. Her phone was out of range.

He frowned.

Did she switch off her phone?

But why?

He tried again. And received the same conclusion.

She switched off her phone!
