Chapter 43: Chapter 43

The next morning,

Izzy was so enthusiastic. She happily made breakfast. Joe ate and left.

Izzy stayed back home to tidy up.

She needed to discuss, with someone. Anyone possible. So, she decided to phone Grace again.

She dailed the number and called in vain. No one picked up the phone. In fact, the call wasn't even going through.

Izzy became worried.

"What's wrong with Grace?!. Her phone has never been off for this long!."

Izzy said to her self.

She kept on guessing.

"She might be very busy!."

Izzy wandered.

She gave up on the call!.

She got ready and left for her shop.

.

.

Joe went to work as usual but all he wanted, was work to finish very fast and rush back to the night club where he was the previous night.

He couldn't concentrate on his work no matter how hard he tried to.

"How could this be possible?!."

He kept on asking his self the same questions over and over again.

.

.

While Izzy on her own side went to her shop very happy. She was so kind to her customers that morning.

She didn't reach her peak last night but she was filled with hope for the other night to come. She really appreciated the efforts.

The day was long for both of them.

.

.

After work that day, Izzy closed the shop and went to Grace's house. To quickly check on her.

When she arrived at Grace's house it was locked.

She then went to the gateman to find out.

"Hey, sir!."

Izzy called for the attention of the gateman.

"Yes madam, how may I help you!."

he asked

"Please do you have any idea where the girl staying in that apartment 12 has gone to?. like have you seen her this morning?!."

Izzy asked.

The man hesitated. He didn't know what to see.

"No!. For one month now I haven't heard from her or seen her around these places. I man passed here two weeks ago, checking on her as well. I told him the same thing. He said he was her boss. He left his number in case I see her!."

He explained.

"This is strange. Grace can't leave town without telling us!. Anyway, thanks!."

Izzy got skeptical.

"Is anything wrong, madam?!."

the gateman asked with a weird look on his face.

"No, no!. I have to leave!."

Izzy exclaimed.

She went into her car and phoned Eliza. Eliza was closer to Grace's parents. They loved her so much. Because she is a good Christian according to them...

Elizabeth got very worried.

"Let's investigate a little bit more before informing her parents. You know Grace, she might be somewhere relaxing. Let's not worry about her parents for now!. Let's see if it is serious!."

Elizabeth suggested.

"I have a bad feeling about this. Grace can not leave town without telling me. Anyway, let's do as you say."

Izzy agreed

And off the called.
