It was 9 p.m., and Christopher had not returned home yet.
Abigail had been waiting for him. When the night grew, she became restless and wondered what was taking him so long. She remembered him telling her that he had an urgent meeting. She wondered if the meeting was still going on.
'How is that possible? The meeting wouldn't last for hours. Something must have happened. Maybe some problems have arrived.'
She tried to console herself by thinking this, but her agitation didn't go away. An unknown fear crept stealthily into her heart.
Many terrible thoughts raced through her mind.
Abigail couldn't help but dial his number.
Ring-Ring-Ring…
The ring was going.
Beep…
The call was disconnected.
She sighed in disappointment as she realized he was still working.
'When will you be back?' She texted him and stared at the phone, waiting for his response.
