Marc quickly called Alex to find out the status of the hostel. She had never failed to do whatever he asked her to do.
However, it's been more than half-hour now and she had not sent any reports that she succeeded. Did she fail to do it? How was that possible?
Alex The Reliable was no longer reliable?
"Alex, what happened to the hostel I told you to buy?" he asked with a rather annoyed tone. He was enjoying a cup of coffee in the cafe next door while waiting for Alex to handle Loriel's request.
"Sir, the owner is abroad and he turns off his phone since it's the weekend," said Alex in a frustrated voice. She had never failed in any task assigned to her, but this time she had to admit defeat. "I have been calling left and right and nobody can tell me how to reach him."
"Gosh.." Marc massaged his temple. It looked like he had to give this bad news to his uncle. Ugh.
No.. he couldn't tell Loriel that he failed.
