Chapter 1321 Do Not Forget Your Place
“I’m not completely done yet, but I’ve finished at least half. Oh, right! Why did your meeting finish so soon? I thought meetings like these usually go on for quite a long time.”
Ichika’s bright eyes looked at Taylor curiously.
She was definitely a very observant young lady, having realized this after just two days in the company.
Taylor smiled, not meaning to keep it a secret from her. “Something came up with Mr. George, and he suddenly ran off after getting a phone call.”
“Oh, really?”
Ichika’s small face twisted in worry.
He left halfway? What could it be? It must be something truly urgent for him to suddenly leave in the middle of an important meeting.
Ichika was still curious, so she went up to the top floor after quickly getting her work done.
“Hi, Ms. Minamoto. You came upstairs, I see.”
“Yeah…”
Ichika felt extremely unsettled at the entire room of people that suddenly turned to look her way as she stood at the president’s office doors.
She continued to fidget at the doorway as she asked shyly, “I-is Ms. Akiko here?”
“Yes, she is!” someone piped up. “She’s in Mr. George’s office.”
A few of them gestured toward the office in question helpfully.
Ichiko was simply much too adorable and amicable to turn down. Truthfully, they all silently thought she was a much better person to deal with than the woman she was looking for.
Ichika entered with ease.
A few minutes later, she reached Solomon’s office.
“Akiko, what happened to Mr. Akiyama? Why did he suddenly end the meeting?”
“Ms. Minamoto, that doesn’t seem like something you should be asking. Right now, you’re simply a small clerk in the planning department. You don’t have to know too much about the president and what he chooses to do.”
Akiko had been busy arranging things when the young, innocent woman came to bother her. She didn’t think twice before pulling the “president’s secretary” card.
Ichika fell silent.
Within just a few seconds, the young Jetroinian woman’s pale face immediately colored as her cheeks began to redden.
She had actually forgotten that she had not come here as the rich daughter of the Minamoto family but as a regular office worker in the company.
However, within those few seconds, Ichika immediately snapped back to her senses.
“I’m not asking you as a clerk. I’m asking you as Ichika Minamoto. Where did he go? What happened?”
When she spoke again, her sweet voice was laced with a hint of severity.
Akiko paled in anger.
Ichika…
She clenched her fists so tightly that the veins on the back of her hand were beginning to push against her skin.
In the end, she didn’t dare to go against Ichika. Staring at the latter for a few seconds, she finally spoke through gritted teeth.
“His sister’s daughter is missing.”
“What?” Ichika’s small face contorted in worry. “Her kid went missing? Why? How did she go missing?”
“How am I supposed to know? When Mr. Akiyama left, he only mentioned that Ms. Sabrina had brought her kid to get her vaccination at the hospital before she went missing. Nothing else.”
“Oh.”
The tips of Ichika’s fingers had gone icy cold with the news.
Oh no. This can’t happen. Jaena is Sabrina’s life and joy. How could she bear to live without her baby?
Ichika had met Jaena before, and she couldn’t believe that such a cute and lovable child had suddenly gone missing. This can’t be happening!
Ichika’s eyes had already started to redden.
She immediately turned and ran out without another word.
Akiko called out, “Ms. Minamoto, where are you going? Ichika Minamoto!”
Akiko had to call out her full name.
This was the difference between the two.
They were both from Jetroina, but the moment Ichika heard that Sabrina lost her child, she was full of worry and concern. She was even feeling heartache and pity, and her first thought was to rush off to look for the girl as well.
As for the woman who was still in the office, she clearly couldn’t care less.
“Dad, this is Ichika.”
Ichika immediately called her father all the way in Jetroina right after she stepped out of the company.
Her father paused in surprise at the sound of Ichika’s voice and quickly said, “Ichika? Is something wrong? Are you not liking things in Avenport? Do you want me to have someone bring you back?”
“No, Dad, don’t worry. I’m doing fine here. The problem is that Sabrina lost her child. Could you help me out?” Ichika begged over the phone.
Not many people knew that the famous Minamoto family actually had a team of strong warriors under their belt. These warriors had been with them ever since they left the royal family to establish themselves as their own power.
That was why these people were considered experts in Jetroina in every area.
Her father agreed breezily.
At the sound of her father’s agreement, Ichika sighed in relief and hailed a taxi to the hospital.
All she saw was the entire hospital locked down due to the search for the Hayeses youngest member. Everyone seemed to be panicking.
“Mr. Akiyama…”
She saw the man standing tall over the crowd of anxious people, calmly directing everyone about what to do.
