"I couldn't find her! Oh my God, where could she be" Mia cried, "did anyone find any clue?" she stared curiously at every single person present hoping to find even the slightest positive response.
They had all gathered again ten minutes after they split up to find Kahlan.
Mia was already having a breakdown, crying so hard.
"It's all my fault, I should have picked up when she called. Marcello, you have to find Kahlan for me. I will never forgive myself if anything happens to her" Mia sobbed. She was in so much pain, she just wished someone could bring her Kahlan.
Marcello stood at the side silently. He didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth to console Mia but closed it again. Only he knew how anxious he was.
Marcello knew his cousin seldom cries, this could be traumatic for her.
Should he report to the police? It wasn't even up to an hour.
"Miss, I think you should calm down alright? We can check the control room. I mentioned it earlier, we can find clues to find her from there that is if she is still in the cafe" The manager squinted his eyes as he spoke
Marcello was astonished and almost slapped himself for being so stupid.
Why on earth didn't he think of this earlier? He thought as he immediately ran after the manager who had already walked away.
Mia also leaped from the floor, running after them. Even on the way, she continued sobbing. The sight of it could create a heart wrenching scene.
She had searched everywhere for Kahlan earlier, she frantically ran to every door of the women's bathroom to check if Kahlan was in one of the bathrooms. Only one door was locked, so she thought someone might be using it.
In the control room, everyone watched with rapt attention. Their attention solely on the screen.
They saw a pale faced Kahlan walk past the hallway heading directly to the women's bathroom but they couldn't decipher what happened when she was in there. Mainly because no camera was in the bathroom.
They watched on as Minty, the waitress, walked through the hallway obviously going to the women's bathroom few minutes after Kahlan entered.
The manager scowled. The other staffs exchanged glances but did not say anything. They knew the staffs had their own bathroom and wasn't allowed to share the same bathroom with the customers.
What was Minty thinking?!
Moments later a figure in white walked through the hallway too and came out meeting Minty on his way out.
Mia clenched her fist whispering Leo, she knew he had something to do with Kahlan's disappearance.
"This was the young man with the young lady I served earlier" the waiter said pointing at the white figure on the screen
Then they saw the lewd interaction of Leo and the waitress, Minty.
Silence Crept in as everyone gaped at the scene in front of them.
Mia felt anger burst in front within her, something was caught in her throat as she tried hard to fight the tears threatening to fall.
Why? She knew how much Kahlan loves Leo yet he did this behind her back. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying because the camera was only visual, she knew the White demon was up to no good. If Kahlan were to see this, how would she feel? She didn't dare imagine it
Marcello on the other hand was feeling his blood boil. This was an insult Kahlan! He expected better from Leo who looked like every woman's prince charming. That was a wake up call to him. Mia was right! Leo was never the best man for Kahlan. He would fight Leo for her love from now on.
He felt blood rush to his head as he fought the urge to find Leo and punch him to he is beaten to pulp.
The staffs peered at their manager, uneasiness crept their limbs. They felt really cold and wanted to run to the sun for warmth. Who didn't know of the secret affair between their manager and Minty.
They shivered as they thought about their days at work.
What was Minty thinking? How could she cuckold the manager? Making him wear a large green hat.
