Mommy, Where's Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 17

"John, let's go to meet Miss Davis," said Ethan Wright to his assistant. He walked out of the CEO's office unannounced, telling John to get ready to leave.

It resulted in John Garcia panicking. John checked the time and said back, "Boss, it's still four-forty in the afternoon. I thought you are meeting her at six?"

With eyes narrowing at his assistant, Ethan answered, "We can't let traffic get in the way, now... can we? I am never late for my appointments."

"Right! Right! I'll call the driver, sir," said John as he frantically grabbed for his belongings.

"Did Edgar already secure what Kyle had requested?" Ethan asked while walking in the direction of the lift.

"Yes, sir. He should have it in the car," assured John.

In just a matter of minutes, they made their way to the building lobby and exited to where Ethan's Black Maybach was waiting. As always, Ethan stayed at the back, with John sitting next to the driver in the front of the expensive car. Even with traffic, they were roughly at The First Diamond Hotel in just twenty minutes.

"Mr. Wright? Are you excited to see Miss Davis?" John probed, nearly chuckling at his suggestion.

The driver, whose name was Edgar, also had his eyes widened? He asked, "Is Mr. Wright interested in a girl?"

"Both of you, mind your own business!" Ethan ordered. He was reading through his email from his laptop when he heard his assistant try to put words into his mouth.

Ethan liked John's work. Even if he often pried on his personal life, he rarely would get mad at his assistant. His usual cue was how he would glare at John, and his assistant would easily understand his limits.

Reaching a block from behind the hotel, he heard John, "Oh, my! That's Miss Davis!"

Hearing the name, Ethan's eyes promptly shifted in the direction where John was pointing and he was shocked to see Samantha running around the park, located in the middle of the street.

His brows furrowed, watching her in tight, gray leggings and a sweatshirt on top. While her sweatshirt hid her precious curves, it did not sit well with Ethan how her leggings were graciously taking the form of her slender and long legs.

His eyes quickly became hooded before saying, "What - in - the - world is she doing? Is it even safe to run in the park?"

"Ah, generally, Mr. Wright," Edgar filled in the answer for him.

"She is just taking a run, Mr. Wright - Oh, no! That man in front of her is holding a knife!" Exclaimed John.

As they went past Samantha, dread could not help but fill Ethan's chest. He commanded with his voice raised, "Go back! Turn around!"

"Sir, we can't turn around from here, but we can circle back," told Edgar.

Ethan seemed to have felt fear for Samantha and he wound up looking back from the back windshield of the car! John and Ethan practically saw how Samantha kicked the butt off the man who had a weapon in front of her.

"Woah! That was awesome, boss!" Remarked John. "Miss Davis is definitely amazing!"

As John and Ethan remained stunned at Samantha's actions, Edgar sped through the road, circling around the park until they found her again. The round park was not significant in size, and Edgar managed to go around it in just about three minutes.

From inside the car, Ethan noticed how Samantha was looking in their direction. He assumed that she was probably worried about the sudden speeding luxury car towards her.

"Stop in front of her! Stop - in - front of her!" Ethan demanded, and it resulted in Edgar to force the breaks in the middle of the road.
