~Riccardo's POV~
"You haven't seen Anne anywhere, have you?" I asked James for the second time just to make sure I was sure he wasn't lying to me. But his answer remained indifferent.
"I last saw her about thirty minutes ago, she might have left the building for her break."
But it wasn't her break time yet, hell it was barely noon. Anne wasn't the kind to just stroll out of the office building anytime she felt like it, especially not when she knew we had a lot of things to be working on.
I had called her phone tirelessly but she wasn't answering. At first I had concluded that she was probably still mad at me, but after the fifth call I began to get worried. Anne knew better than to put her personal feelings before her work. She might not agree to working together with Thomas Brown, but that didn't mean she didn't have other work to do. So to ignore all of my calls just because of the Nakamura deal felt very unprofessional.
