"Mr . Ricardo I can't reach Ms . Lillian Grey" a female voice screamed . She sounded as if someone went missing .
"Calm down Jenna, Calm down, would you? What happened?"
"It's Ms . Grey Sir, I can't reach her . She's not in her home, office, or any other place that I can think of her being there . "
"What?" Shane got serious . Before he could ask her any more question, she interrupted saying "She's not picking her call either Sir . "
"Ugh . . . Fine . Fine . Where're you now?"
"I'm back at Ms . Grey's residence . "
"Good . You're safe then . First, go home . It's already late and I will handle it from here . Got it?"
"Okay . Thank you, Sir . But please if you are able to reach Ms . Grey tell her to pick up my call . I will be calling her throughout the night . She's not escaping this time . "
"Good" He hung up the call . He picked his other mobile which looked more like his personal use . He went to the speed dial and called a number . It was ringing but no one answered . He tried few times and was pissed off already . He dialed another number but no reply . He was reaching his threshold when the person finally answered his call . It was the ninth attempt .
"Hello," a familiar voice shouted from the other end .
"Where are you?" Shane controlled his anger and made sure to suck out the information .
"Why? What happened? "
"Oh, what happened? I asked you a question . " This time he demanded an answer .
"On a date"
"in Vegas"
"Sorry"
Shane was extremely upset . He reached his home by now . He came out and shut the car door so hard that the other person on the phone could hear the sound clearly .
"Lillian, you Idiot . Do you have any idea what the time and date is now? Your deadline is in this week and you are in Vegas for a date . " Shane couldn't control his anger anymore because he is in his home and nobody can disturb him . He shouted at Lillian . This time there's no excuse or anything . It looked as if Lillian might soon be in trouble with the boss .
"I know . I know . Don't shout at me . I'll be back by tomorrow evening . The deadline is still in four days . I will finish my work before that . " It sounded so easy . But, the problem is whenever she goes on a date, it doesn't end well . And being one of the most gossiped authors in the industry, the company just can't handle issues anymore .
No, Shane wasn't gonna allow it this time . "Your deadline is tomorrow morning . Finish your final draft and send it to Jenna by tomorrow morning . If not, then forget about publishing this book under my publication . You are free to look for another company . "
"Woah Woah Woah, what was that about? Tomorrow, are you crazy? Think about me, Shane . You know how my girlfriend is, let it go this time . I will submit it tomorrow night . "
"No changes, nothing . Get your ass to writing . Finish the draft tonight and send it tomorrow morning to Jenna . I will call her directly . If she didn't receive any copy . That's the end . Good night Lillian . Oh, I forgot, pick Jenna's call, she's your editor, not your slave . If I ever get a call from her saying that you're not reachable . Then that's it for you . Bye . "
"No Wait . . . " the call ended . Lillian was in big trouble .
"You better wait for it Lillian, I will make you regret your decision," Shane said looking at his phone and then went to bed .
