Chapter 156: A Strange Email
[Edward’s P.O.V.]
I was in my office, going through so of my contacts and emails sent to by detectives. All of them had photos and addresses of single, pregnant won living on the coast of Southeast Asia, as well as the n and won who were around the won, supposedly taking care of them.
But I quickly realized that it was all for naught. I just couldn’t tell if any of them were Rose, Alonso, or Susanna just from photos. None of the images triggered anything within .
I knew it was hard, but I wanted to try. If I was able to dream about Rose, I thought I would at least be able to get a reaction from looking at photos. But I hadn’t been able to. And I also hadn’t dreamt of my lover again.
After looking at so many pictures, I felt like I was starting to see only what my heart wanted to see. Every person I looked at in the pictures started to look like Rose. I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples. Just as I was about to ask the servant to prepare coffee for , a new email notification popped up in the lower right corner of my computer.
I opened the email and briefly glanced at it. It was an email seeking business cooperation. But strangely, the information provided indicated that the other party was a wholesale flower seller.
I didn’t understand why a wholesale flower seller would want to work with my company because we clearly state that we mainly invested in next-generation information technology, high-end equipnt, healthcare, environntal protection, renewable energies, new materials and other industries. My other company is a pharmaceutical company.
I supposed that it might be because the economy was not doing well recently so many small- and dium-sized enterprises were simply desperate to survive. Maybe I should ask my secretary to remove my work email address from my business card. These useless emails seeking cooperation or investnt would only waste my ti.
I ignored the email on my computer desktop and rembered the headache of trying to find the ones I had been looking for simply through pictures.
I was convinced that the dream was a sign from the moon goddess, who also hoped that I could find my lover. I was not willing to give up if I had even the smallest glimr of hope. But I was starting to feel that holding on to such a small piece of hope was very tiring. I was trying to find three people out of hundreds of millions. Moreover, they might have already changed their appearances.
I stared at the computer screen and all I could think about was where Alonso was most likely to take Rose. As I stared at the screen that still had that flower seller’s email displayed, I suddenly saw a few words that had been subtly bolded. I was glad I hadn’t closed the email yet.
I read it over and over again, and I felt my heart begin to beat violently. I imdiately forwarded it to Patrick and dialed his number.
“Did you see this email I just sent you?”
“Yes, Boss. Is there sothing wrong with it?”
I knew that Patrick was in the company right now, so I imdiately asked him to help find the address left by this email. Although I had already looked it up several tis with Google Maps and other apps, the best location they could provide was a beach on Phuket Island in Thailand. And it wasn’t the label of a wholesale flower seller.
“Uh, I have a result. The address in the email is indeed not that d*mn wholesale flower seller. It is of an apartnt on Phuket Island near Padang Beach. Why are you bothering with this spam email, though? It has nothing to do with our company’s business. Moreover, look at the seal on its signature. It looks like it was made in a cheap small workshop. There is not even a seal number. How can a company’s seal be a bird’s design?”
My gaze then fell on the signature of the email, suddenly attracted by a part of it. I had not noticed it before, but now, my hands could not help but tremble.
“Pat, that’s not a bird, that’s a phoenix, a phoenix that Rose from the ashes. That’s a hint!”
“What? I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
I took a deep breath and tried my best to calm myself down, but I found that it was all in vain.
“Delete this email from your mailbox. But before you delete it, read the first word of each paragraph in succession,” said I into the phone.
“Ugh, why so mysterious? Let see, the first word of each first paragraph... ‘Hello... co... here... to... see... Rose...’ What the f*ck? Is this for real? This is a secret ssage!”
“I think so.”
“Oh, my God, do you know the sender?”
“No, it ca from an unknown email.”
“F*ck. Could this just be a coincidence? ?”
“This is my glimr of hope, Brother. Look carefully, the first word of each paragraph has been bolded. Help book the next plane ticket to Phuket, Thailand. Don’t tell anyone, don’t prepare a car for . If the people in the pack ask where I went, just say that I’m on a temporary business trip.”
“How about I co with you? I don’t want you to run into any more danger.”
“I’ll be careful, but I have to go alone.”
After hanging up, I quickly received a text ssage from the airline and the hotel. Patrick had booked a first-class ticket to Phuket at 10:20 AM tomorrow, as well as two nights at a local five-star hotel.
I didn’t know how long I was going to be there, but I wanted it to be quick. I wanted to et my love. It was my last hope. I couldn’t care less right now if it was simply a prank or overthinking this.
