Braden left for more than a week. He was the same as Mr. Quintin, and no one heard from him at all.
And no one could reach him on the phone, either. Tracy could not explain anything clearly, and the media did not mention Braden's whereabouts at all.
Nancy was so anxious that she kept pulling strings and trying to find out about Braden's whereabouts. However, those rich young men and women, who had always been fearless, all chose to remain silent, not daring to say anything.
On the contrary, Shirley was very calm. Since she couldn't reach Braden on the phone, she would try again after a few hours. And since nothing changed, she would simply drop it as if nothing had happened.
Another morning arrived. Shirley leisurely held the easel, facing the sea and painting the beautiful sea sunrise.
