The next day
Emily Hill got up to prepare breakfast. At eight o'clock, Bryan Hawkins came out of Carolline Ruiz's room. Seeing him alone, Emily's face immediately darkened, "Didn't Carolline come back last night?"
"She was probably helping a friend, so..." Bryan could imagine what Carolline had been busy with last night. He came back early without telling her, intending to surprise her. As he had asked her to stay at her mother's place these past few days, he came straight to the Ruiz family home upon his return. Little did he know, he would be waiting all night in vain.
He had tried to call Carolline. The call went through but no one answered. When he got up again and tried to call her, her phone was turned off. Probably out of battery.
"What kind of friend requires help all night?" Emily disagreed, "Listen, Bryan, you can't spoil her. A woman, before or after marriage, should never stay out all night. It's a rule, you..."
