Capítulo 88: What Is This Charade?

"Any news?"

Richard emptied the cup of coffee brought by the maid, wincing at its bitter taste enhanced by the fact that it had already grown cold. Samantha had to leave when Miss Smith brought in his beverage and now he was back at handling business as his assistant was standing before his desk wearing a disappointed expression. 

Richard fixed his brown eyes on Ron, impatient to hear a reassuring reply but the man only shook his head and sighed. 

"I'm afraid no, Mr. Clark. No matter what we tried, we couldn't find it."

Richard leaned in on his elbows and wiped his face with both hands in frustration. It was disappointing. 

'I took the copy of Samantha's employee contract from Amelie but I still haven't got the original one. I know there is only one copy left and it was supposed to be with Jason Sanson, but nobody can get a hold of him now. It's like he just suddenly disappeared into thin air.'
