บท 75: Kidnapped [2]

"....Please try again later" the phone ends with the same robotic girl's voice. This will the ninth time Zichen has dialed Shi Lian's number but there is no response. She must be busy, kept her phone on silent, the battery must have died, etc., he has thought of every possibility to calm himself. But to think of it, it's already past seven, Shi Lian's company closes on seven so she must have left or perhaps stayed in the company for the work. Tapping her number again, he calls her but again, the same robotic voice comes from the other end making Zichen growls in irritation. 

He planned to take her on a private dinner and spend time with her but now it is ruined. Everyone in his company has left except for his manager Rong. Zichen was thinking of picking her up after everyone has left. since she isn't picking her phone, he has no reason to wait here.
