Chapter 27 Kidnapping
In the morning, Elly refused John's offer to drive her to work. She planned to stop by the supermarket before going to work.
Just out of her subdivision, due to her negligence, she bumped into a man causing the folder in her hand to spread.
The HR department asked her to add some personal information, so today she brought the necessary papers to the company.
When the man picked up the papers, he was surprised to see the information on them.
"Are you Elly?"
That the man called her name correctly made her surprise, "Do we know each other?"
"You applied to our company before. My name is Louis. I am the HR manager of NEF Export Company."
He showed his business card and spoke quickly. "I especially came here to look for Miss Elly. Did you receive a successful announcement from our company?"
Reading the words on the business card, she lifted her head in surprise, "Wasn't I was rejected when I submitted it to your company?"
A company that rejected her application came to her is strange?
"In the past, we had no intention of recruiting her, but if Miss Elly is now willing to work, our company always welcome you"
"I don't understand what you mean. NEF always rejects my applications and then actively looks for the candidate who was rejected?" Elly frowned in confusion.
Louis scratched his nose and timidly laughed
"If it's inconvenient, I don't need to talk. But I won't be able to work in a place lacking transparency."
Elly quickly started to walk, she was going to be late.
Louis stood in front of her, smiling heartily. "Miss Elly, don't misunderstand. NEF Company has nothing hidden. it's Mr. John that did not agree to hire you for the job."
Elly gasped, "Mr. John? John?"
"Yes, he has a reputation with all the companies in this city, no company can hire you for fear of offending John's family."
She was surprised by John's origin. He is just a talented doctor in the most famous hospital, isn't he?
"Your company does not want to lose his heart, why are you looking for me now?"
"We think your expertise and qualifications are very good, and it would be very regrettable if you don't have a place to promote. Besides, the ban has been going on for a long time, maybe now..." Louis rubbed his hand.
Looking at the man's humility, Elly suddenly felt unreasonably frustrated. She put the business card in his hand and said plainly. "Currently, I am an employee of Alex's company. Thank you for your invitation, but I would like to refuse. I still have work, I'll be going."
She quickly passed the man, dazedly recalled the process of running around and submitting applications like an idiot. Despite her hardships and continuous failures, John always was by her side to cheer her on. At that time, she saw that John was a gentle gentleman. It turns out to be all lies.
She was in some sort of trance, wandering on the street, not paying attention that she entered a deserted alley, anyway, her instinct wanted to be quiet, she didn't like the noise affecting her mood.
The first person she saw when she woke up was John, who has always been with her through her surgeries, who encouraged her to study ... He is always the only one with her, who has her complete trust. And yet... he can also deceive her. Who is the real person in this life?
The phone rang and interrupted the flow of her sad thoughts, Elly turned off the phone when he saw the caller's name.
John called in the second time, the third time, she still did not answer.
But in the end, she could not stand her feeling, she wanted to confront him directly, she called back.
"Elly, why don't you answer the phone?"
"John, answer me when I was applying for a job, but no company agrees for an interview is related to you, right?"
Without his reply, her voice trembled, urgently asked again. "Answer me, John! do you have anything to do with it? Don't lie to me!"
"Yes, I do. But Elly, I could explain ..."
John's admission made her heartache, and his explanation disappeared, the light in front of Elly's eyes turned into darkness. she blacked out.
Elly woke up with a shaky head and vague eyes. It took a while for her to realize that she was locked up in a strange room, and everything around was dark. She moved her body when she realized that her limbs were both tied.
Immediately, she realized she had been kidnapped.
But she is a person without relatives, no memory, no home, no gorgeous beauty, anyone that kidnapped her made is a mistake?
The door was pushed from the outside, and a stubborn man entered. "Kid, are you awake?"
Elly was infuriated at the guy's disrespectful calling. Trying to control her temper, she also hid her fear inside, calmly asked. "Why did you kidnap me? Who order?"
"Why do you think someone made me kidnap you?" The man looked at her with interest.
"How many can you exchange for the poor like me?" Elly pouted.
"Ha ha .., you are more valuable than you thought."
She continued to pretend to calm, she lowered her voice for more persuasion. "Do you need money? How much have is your pay? I can double, or triple, just let me go. Is it okay?"
The man squatted in front of her, patting her face teasingly.
"You claimed to be poor?"
"I don't have money, but my husband has a lot of money. He can satisfy the money you ask for."
"As you said, your family has money, that's fine. And you saw my face, you think you can turn back intact? Are you dreaming? Do you have the right to negotiate with us?" The man squeezed her jaw and then left with a smile.
The door closed, darkness swallowed her once again.
For John, he was about to explain when she hung up.
He called back but no one answered. John started to walk around with his anxiety.
Elly recently forgave him, agreed to move to live together, now she discovers more about this, will she ignore and accept the apology?
John made another phone call, it was still in a shutdown state. He started messaging constantly but it fell silent.
In his frustration he dismissed all the objects on the table, blaming himself for the stupid actions that made Elly angry.
Finally, unable to bear the feeling of sitting on a fire, he rushed out of the hospital and drove to her company. He wanted to meet her directly to explain.
Because John freely went to the room to meet Elly for the last time, Alex listed him on the blacklist, strictly forbidden him from going to the office.
"Sir, if you don't have an appointment, you can't go directly to the office."
"I don't want to see Alex. I want to meet Miss Elly, would you mind contacting her down to meet her relative." John held his hand tightly because he was repeatedly prevented. He has never suffered this humiliation.
"Sorry sir, in working hours, the company has the regulations that if you are not a customer ..."
John quickly went to the elevator, ignoring the receptionist's words.
Security chased him but not in time, they hastily pressed the next elevator in panic.
John rushed out of the elevator, the security was closely chasing him.
"Sir, you cannot enter ..."
But John rushed to the front of the secretary's room, pushed the door hard with his anger.
Alex was standing next to his secretary Leon, giving his subordinates some orders, and seeing the noise, he raised his head.
"Mr. John, why do you not make an appointment every time you come to my company?" This is a workplace, not your home.
John did not have time to argue, loudly asked. "Alex, I look for Elly, where is she?"
Alex heard the mention of his little deputy secretary, immediately frustrated. "I also wanted to find her. From morning until now, I have not seen her work. It is irresponsible. I need to talk to her in the next session."
John knew that Elly never gave up her job without reason, especially this morning, she was still living normally, not mentioning today's day-off.
"I do not believe it! Surely, you order her to work at another place, right?"
Alex's face is colder, his voice becomes cruel. "Elly did not go to work today. Is Mr. John wants to make a riot at my company, right?"
