When Tang Moyu arrived at work the next day, she found her assistant's desk empty, with Cheng Ning nowhere to be found. She looked around the floor and the pantry, but she didn't find her assistant.
"Has Miss Cheng reported at work today?" she asked the guard that was stationed just outside her office.
The man shook his head in response. None of them had seen Cheng Ning yet.
"No, Madam. Miss Cheng hasn't arrived yet," he informed her.
Tang Moyu cupped her chin and glanced at the empty spot where she usually found Cheng Ning. Did something happen? She wondered. Well, this wasn't the first time she arrived at work first before her assistant, but Cheng Ning would have left her a message or given her a call if she was coming late for the day.
Tang Moyu pulled out her phone and checked her inbox for her assistant's text messages but there was none. There were also no missed calls and voicemails left for her to hear.
