Chapter 426 Who Took The Consequence?

"Let me go there."

She was the chief director and was responsible for the shooting of the public advertisement.

Only she knew exactly what kind of short film the Lion Group wanted.

And it would be a pity if she left today empty-handed.She would like to see the place with her eyes.

"What? Are you kidding?"

Viola's eyes widened in surprise.

Lucia added with a smile, "Here with Director Brook to act as a gatekeeper I don't have to be worried.

So, I just want to be there to scout out and find out whether the location is suitable for us or not so as to we can save costs and efforts."

Viola shook his head in disapproval.

"I don't see that will work for us.What if you are in danger?"

Lucia gave a bust of reassuring laughter and started packing.

"I don't see any danger in there.I just go there for a look and I'll be back soon.And if it is later than 4 pm when I finish, I'll take a shortcut to go straight down the mountain."

Lucia was no more a city girl who was afraid of everything and when she was in Amecan, she used to go climbing and hiking alone.

So it was just a snap for her now.

Viola was still a little bit worried about her safety.

He hesitated, debating whether to consult Director Brook.

However, Lucia reached out her hand and caught hold of his waist, "I don't think it's necessary to break Director Brook's concentration now, you'd better tell him later.Trust me, It's ok."

Finishing her words, Lucia released his hand and patted him on his shoulder.

Then she left with strides.

Viola stood hesitating there and watched her receding figure.

Lucia was in a good mood as she walked on the mountain road.

She hadn't been in such a peaceful place for a long time.So climbing on her own with such tranquil scenes was a totally different experience for her.

As she moved on, the camp of the shooting crew was gradually out of her range of vision.

The mountain road was rocky and hard to walk.

After walking for twenty minutes, it was getting dark.

Lucia took a gasp to pump herself up and quickened her pace.She continued to march on, the scene around her altered little by little.

Lucia was cheered up by the changes.She walked faster and at the same time, she kept marking and taking photos along the road.

Lucia didn't walk like crazy in order to save her strength.

Time went by fast and it had been an hour after Lucia left the camp, and the light was fading in the woods.

Lucia still didn't find the location shot by the drone, she had to slow down her steps for she could barely see the road in the dim light.

Lucia felt uneasy and she took a deep breath again to relieve the uneasiness.

The location, supposedly, should be an hour away.

Could it be that she took the wrong direction? Lucia thought to herself.

Then she took out her phone and opened the compass in it.

The compass needle was pointing in the same direction as hers.

Lucia decided to walk a little further.

However, thunder boomed and crashed over her head after she walked a while.

The sound of thunder was as scary as a ferocious beast's roar.

Lucia took in a large gulp of air.She unconsciously gave way to fright.

If she stopped here and went back, what she had done was for nothing.

But turning around seemed to be the best option for the sake of safety when it was threatening to rain and it was dark now.

Lucia, heaving a sigh, took out the last two pieces of cloth and tied them on two conspicuous branches of different trees.

After that, she took out her phone to take a few pictures of them respectively so as to she could find them easily the next day.

Lucia then turned around and started walking down the mountain.

Just then, countless raindrops fell from the sky.

Lucia hastened to accelerate her pace.

The raindrops were getting bigger and denser.

Thunder was cracking in the sky and the rain was coming down harder.

Lucia got drenched to the skin and the heavy rain made her squint.

It was pitch-black around her for the moonlight was blocked out by the woods.

Lucia's tumble was just a matter of time.

"No!"

Lucia slipped over on the muddy road and she lost her balance at that very moment because the mountain road was steep.

As a result of that, she rolled down the mountain directly! When she was tumbling down, several faces flashed through her mind.It was Timothy, Janet, her parents, and even August...

"Bang!"

Her body crashed something hard, which shot her with a sharp pain immediately.It was so terrible that Lucia passed out.

Gransend Hotel.

Director Brook and other people on the team got drenched as well when they arrived at the hotel.

Luckily, there were hotel staff provided them with dry towels for them to dry up at once.

Director Brook asked the receptionist about Lucia as soon as he toweled himself up.

"Is Miss Lucia, the guest of 702, back?"

The receptionist checked the records and answered, "No, she doesn't back yet."

Director Brook turned taut and pale instantly.He dialed Lucia without delay.His calls were not answered at all.

Director Brook, holding his phone uneasily, was in fear of Lucia’s life grossly.

Viola stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Is Director Lucia still not back?"

"No."

Director Brook clenched his brows in worry and flew into a temper.

"I've told you we should wait for her to come back together.Nobody could take the consequence if she has an accident today!"

Speaking, he shot his eyes at Viola, "And, how could you let her go alone!"

A woman alone to have a trial run of the route, how could he be such a dummy to allow that! Now it was raining cats and dogs outside and Lucia was alone in the mountain.

Director Brook dared not to imagine the consequence.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Viola stood aside and shut his mouth tightly.

He had thought that Lucia was unable to go all that way in the mountain and would shrink from doing that soon.

He really underestimated her! The rest of the team was also standing breathless with worry.

They were familiar with Director Brook and they all held respect for him so when he went ballistic they all didn't dare to say anything.

Director stood in thoughtful silence, but his heart was seared by worry and uneasiness.

The heavier the rain was, the more uneasy he was.

At this time, a luxury black car pulled over slowly at the entrance of the hotel.

First, a man in a black suit got off, opened the door of the back seats and, carried an umbrella for the guest in the back seats.

Then, a man in a dark blue suit got off.He looked grim in his expression and strode along to the hotel.

They came to before Director Brook directly.

Director Brook was in a state of panic when he saw the comers.

He had only to step forward to greet them, "Mr.August, what brought you here?"

August answered drily, "I have some business to deal with around here so I drop in on you here to continue our meeting last time."

As he said, he gave a glance over at the people in front of him but he didn't see the figure of Lucia.

"Where is Lucia?"

He asked with a faint frown.

Director Brook was choked by his question and his face turned ghastly white within the merest fraction of a second.
