Chapter Seven

Christian couldn’t believe he’d slept twelve hours straight and no one had bothered to wake him. For the first time ever he was late for work, and he didn’t like it. How could he expect his employees to show up on time if he didn’t? The kicker was he’d slept in the main room just off the elevator. That meant both Bianca and Anya had passed by him at least once and hadn’t given him a good shake. Since Bianca had wanted him to rest, he wasn’t surprised by her indifference, but Anya knew how important it was for him to be in the office early each morning.

He needed to shower and change. Unfortunately, he couldn’t afford to lose another minute. He couldn’t take a second to grab breakfast either. A piece of loose information teased the corner of his mind. Had he dreamed the part about Bianca saying someone was sabotaging her magazine? “Bianca!” he shouted as he fixed his tie.

Anya rushed into the room with a dish towel in her hands. “She isn’t here, Mr. Sabatino. She went for a walk a couple hours ago.”

A bad feeling came over him, and business dropped on his list of priorities. “What do you mean she went for a walk? I hope you mean she’s walking around the building, exploring the various floors.”

“No, sir. She wanted to explore the city.”

“And you let her?”

“I walk all the time, and she’s younger than me. What’s the problem?”

His eyes grew wide, frantic, as he thought of all the terrible things that could happen to Bianca out there. “She’s from London! She doesn’t know how to cope with New Yorkers. She’s so sweet and trusting. If some nut stops her in the street, she’ll talk to him. She’ll go into a dark alley with him. Hell, she’ll jump into the van if he offers her candy!”

Anya shook her head, amusement dancing in her eyes.

Before she could tell him again how Bianca was fine on her own, he called down to the lobby’s main desk. “Did you see Bianca Dawson leave the building?”

There was a slightly bewildered pause. “Yes, sir.”

“Did you see which way she went?”

“No, sir.”

He took a deep breath and tried hard to rein in his temper. “I want you to send out the entire security team. I want her found. Now! Do you understand me?”

“Y-yes, sir.”

“You tell them if they don’t find her in the next twenty minutes, I will fire the whole lot of them!” He turned to Anya again. “Do you have any idea where she went? What exactly did she say before she left?”

Anya looked off to the side and tapped a finger against her pursed mouth as she gave his question some thought. “Let me see. She complained that she’s been too busy to stick her nose out the door and what a shame it was to be in an exciting city like New York and not see it. Then she said something about taking a walk and just seeing where her feet took her.
