It had been fifteen minutes since Ryan started talking about Lexi's arrival. Everyone was getting impatient, but that was expected. What they couldn't see was the worry that was etched on Ryan's face. He looked around frantically for Mia because he wanted to tell her to go look for Lexi, but she had beat him to it.
Mia was scared.
She was scared of the possibility that Lexi had been kidnapped. Maybe the vigilantes had an inside person and got to her. Maybe she was taken just like Dylan had been snatched from him. Maybe she was taken just like they had kidnapped her at the party. Or maybe she was attacked and being her, she had killed them. Maybe she was bloody that's why she couldn't show up. Ryan was looking for something positive amidst his worries. The media was still bombarding him with questions.
"where is miss Alexandra?"
"did she back out of being the CEO?"
"why is she not here?"
