Lover Forced The Ruler

Chapter 57. Mr. Kent, Miss Lisle is missing!

Celine stood in confusion in front of the towering tall building of the Diamond Group. He had already entered and asked the receptionist about the opportunity to meet the president. The girl standing guard there glanced at Celine's appearance and said that the master of the president could not be found without making an appointment first. Besides, it's said Mr. Kent is out on business. Finally Celine decided another way, waiting for Mr. Kent's car to come in the parking lot of the building.

It felt so long before a car that Celine recognized as a car that several times drove Lisle, entered the parking area. The assistant came out and opened the back door for Mr. Kent. Not long after a man with a charming face and appearance accompanied by a domineering aura came out of the car. Celine rushed to hunt.

“Mr Kent, my friend Lisle. I need to talk to you, sir. It's about Lisle, she..” Celine immediately scattered with those words.

The man called Mr. Kent took only a glance but did not stop his steps. Lisle's name didn't seem to catch his attention. He continued to walk towards a door that was connected to a private elevator.

Celine stopped her words. In an instant Mr. Kent had drifted away. But he has waited a long time. He was about to give chase, but the cold gaze of the man made his heart hesitate and then despair. Is it true that Mr. Kent doesn't care about Lisle anymore? If indeed he had liked his best friend first, at least there would still be a little care left.

But Ralph had also fallen for Lisle. He didn't care about the girl anymore either.

Ah, Lisil. You used to be so lucky to be noticed by a few select men at once. Today you're very poor because it seems they've all turned their hearts away from you when you needed their attention the most. Celine complained in a disappointed feeling.

Celine suddenly discovers that Mr. Kent's assistant, who is often with the man, is still in the car. Steve seemed to take something from there and closed the car door. He walked past Celine. For a moment Celine was worried and then blocked Steve's steps. A document was in the man's hands.

“Master, let me talk for a moment. It's about my best friend Lisle.” Celine pleaded with a face.

Steve stopped his steps. He watched the girl in front of him for a moment but said nothing. It was just that he seemed to be waiting for Celine to say something.

“Master, please. tell Mr. Kent, Lisle disappeared since last night. I. I don't know where else to look. He has no one. Maybe Mr. Kent can help..” Celine spoke stammeringly.

Steve scrunched his eyebrows. Miss Lisle is missing? “What Miss has the police reported?” ask Steve. He used to be sure his master really liked the girl. After several months passed and seeing the hardness of his master's heart, Steve became unsure the president would intervene. He never even heard his master mention the girl's name again.

Celine looked at the man in front of her desperately. Report police? Did he have to wait for something bad to happen to Lisle first? “Be. But do I have to wait for something bad to happen to my friend? In twenty-four hours, anything can happen.” Celine's eyes were glazed. She was a strong girl and rarely cried, but this time she could not hold back her tears.

“I cannot promise that Mr. Kent will be willing to help. The relationship between Mr and Miss Lisle is over. The master himself once said that no matter what happened to Miss Lisle, he would not care anymore. But I will tell you this to sir. It's just, Miss don't expect much,” said Steve after thinking for a moment and then stepped towards the door that his master had passed. He had heard the girl mutter the word ‘thank you’ with a voice that was almost broken by crying.

While Celine had left feeling uneasy as she kept thinking about the fate of her best friend, steve pressed the elevator button that led to the top floor where the presidential room was located. Once there, he knocked on a large door and opened it after a voice told him to come in.

Mr. Kent appears to be studying a document with his back pulled on a backrest. He did not raise his face to look at Steve's presence. Even when the assistant approached and placed the documents in his hand on the table, the president of Diamond Group was still staring at the sheet in his hand.

After weighing for a moment, Steve finally raised his voice, “Master, Miss Lisle disappeared since last night and her friend was very worried. He hoped, Sir would intervene to help him.”

“What is the police of this city can no longer overcome the problems of its citizens so that I must intervene to take care of trivial things like this?” Kennard threw the paper in his hand onto the table violently. His face looked annoyed.

“What parts of missing people have moved to this office?” Kennard's back is cynical.

Mr. Kent's words made Steve speechless. Does Miss Lisle really mean nothing more to her master? Although not expecting much, Steve was disappointed also with the rejection of Mr. Kent. Secretly, he began to worry about the fate of the girl.

Just then the door was knocked and the secretary's beautiful face appeared. “Mr president, someone called on channel one. He insisted on talking to the master. Would you like to accept it?”

Kennard raised his face and said, “Connect.” Then pick up the phone on the table.

***

Lisle could not recognize the voice of the two people who were talking out there. But hearing the two connect him to Mr. Kent made him both sad and scared.

The first man seems to have seen Lisle and had some sort of grudge with lord Kent. While the man of his friend is a man, a paid criminal who has been assigned to kidnap Lisle. Don't they know that he and Mr. Kent don't have any relationship? How could they think of blackmailing a man who no longer cared about him? Even if they threatened to kill Lisle, according to the girl, Mr. Kent would not give them what they wanted. Lisle felt that she was no longer worth that much to make Mr. Kent worry and come to her rescue.

No tears Lisle melted down soaked her two smooth cheeks. The feeling that Mr. Kent would never come to his rescue like he used to, made his chest feel claustrophobic. Now he has no hope in anyone anymore.

Just then the doorknob of the room seemed to move and slowly the door of the room was pushed from the outside. Lisle's eyes widened looking at someone who stepped in. There was a cruel grin adorning the man's face while looking at the young girl shackled in bed. His eyes stared passionately at every curve of Lisle's body.
