It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 147

Rain took the elevator straight to the 88th floor and entered Edward's office without knocking first. The sound of his abrupt entry shocked Edward, who was reading a file intently. Edward frowned and asked.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Where are the clients you've picked up? You're supposed to be with them right now." Edward saw Rain was unaccompanied. He gave him a confused look.

"I didn't pick them up. Where is Luke? Ask him to come over. I need a favor." demanded Rain. He walked towards the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water and drank like a fish. He spilled some water which trickled down his neck. He looked coquettish and unruly.

"Why didn't you pick them up? What happened? Was their flight delayed?" asked Edward. He called Luke simultaneously. He wondered, "Rain is in such a hurry. Something must be wrong, or he would never charge at me like that."

"The flight was on time. I met them, but not all of them." replied Rain. After drinking water, he finally calmed down.

"What are you talking about?" asked Edward. 'What is Rain talking about? Did he pick them up or not? I can't understand him at all.' wondered Edward.

"I met them. But Annie wasn't there." replied Rain. He took a seat on the sofa and waited for Luke.

"You mean Annie didn't come?" asked Edward. 'That's the point! No wonder he is in such a rush. If I remember right, Annie is in love with Rain! Why did she give up this opportunity to see him?' thought Edward.

"No, she came here in advance. She said she would contact me. But instead, she disappeared." replied Rain. He fixed his gaze on Edward, and it seemed that Rain was looking for an answer from him.

"Now, What are you planning to do?" asked Edward. He smiled noncommittally and thought, 'Annie is a grown woman. She won't disappear for no reason. If she didn't contact anyone, there must be some reason. Perhaps something went wrong, or maybe Annie doesn't want to see us right now. There is no need to panic.'

"Tell Luke to find out if something has happened in the underground community. I'm afraid she has been kidnapped," said Rain. He knew very well that in order to protect Edward, Luke had forged many human relations and had a lot of people backing him. So it was sensible to ask him about this.

"Do you think anyone in S City knows Annie? If she was kidnapped upon her arrival, there must be a mole in the C Financial Group. That would explain how her identity and schedule were revealed." said Edward.

He looked at Rain as if he were an idiot and thought, 'It's a simple question. But he seems confused when it comes to Annie. If he doesn't fancy her, then why is he so worried?"
