Carla waited until Bugara had left through the window before opening the door.
Rogan was still staring longingly at the window when Carla's voice came from beside her, "How much longer are you going to stare at the window? He's already gone!"
Rogan flinched in shock and tried to explain, "Ms. Lierger, I…"
Carla cut her off. "I saw everything. Bugara seems to be infatuated with you. I think he's a great guy!"
Rogan lowered her head in embarrassment. "Nah, he's way too immature! I just scolded him for going AWOL when he has such an important task…"
"Yeah, he deserved that scolding. Still, I suppose you valiantly saving my life would make up for his mistake!" Carla said with a mischievous smirk.
"Hey! Me doing my job has nothing to do with his mistake!" Rogan exclaimed while blushing.
Carla nodded and said seriously, "Yeah, you're right. We'll just let Zayn punish him, then!"
"No…" Rogan began to panic.
Freda burst out laughing. "Hahaha! I knew you were just being stubborn! You are worried about him, aren't you?"
"Shut up!" Rogan threw a pillow at her.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk… Still so aggressive even when you're wounded, huh? Be careful not to scare your boyfriend away!" Freda teased her again.
"What boyfriend? Stop messing with me!" Rogan was so flustered that her ears had turned red.
Freda snickered. "Seriously, though… He came rushing back because of you, and yet you're refusing to accept Ms. Lierger's offer to save him from potential punishment? Talk about being heartless!"
"Will you please do something about her, Ms. Lierger?" Rogan was blushing like a shy little girl.
Carla couldn't help but laugh at her state. "All right, all right… We'll stop messing with you. It's normal for young people like you to fall in love anyway. Bugara is a great guy, so make sure you treat him well."
"But…"
"The three of us are the only ones that know about him sneaking back, so it'll be fine if we just keep it to ourselves. Okay, you should get some rest. We'll go check on things at the airport. Wouldn't want you two to be in trouble in case anything does go wrong!" Carla said as she stood up.
"Yeah, you're right! Ensuring Dr. Feroma's safety is of utmost importance! We can't afford to have even a minor mishap!"
"I'll have someone stay here to keep you safe. Take care."
Carla then turned around and began walking toward the door, leaving a bodyguard behind to watch over Rogan.
"You're so nice to us, Ms. Lierger!" Freda exclaimed.
"Are you implying that Mr. Lierger isn't?" Carla asked.
"No, that's not what I meant…" Freda desperately tried to explain herself.
Carla couldn't help but chuckle at how flustered she was, but maintained her cold attitude and carried on walking while Freda followed behind her with a smile on her face.
Carla is a lot kinder and pleasant in comparison to Daemon's cold and stern personality. Despite holding a grudge against the Giblo family, she never once stopped us from seeing their people. This is the kind and soft-hearted side of her deep down inside…
As Carla and her subordinates were rushing toward the airport, they encountered a Giblo family convoy speeding past them.
"What's going on? Why are they mobilizing that many men at such a high speed? Could it be that something bad has happened?" Freda asked with a frown.
The look on Carla's face turned gloomy. "I hope not… Come on, drive faster."
"All right!"
With Rogan wounded and the other bodyguards not so proficient at driving, they were late to the airport by over ten minutes.
They then rushed to the arrival hall and saw the Giblo family bodyguards searching the place.
Freda was able to recognize one of them and asked, "What's going on? Aren't you guys here to pick up Dr. Feroma?"
"Someone else beat us to it! We're looking for him right now!" the man replied anxiously.
"How did this happen? Who took him?" Freda pressed on.
"We don't know yet…"
