Anne, who had fallen asleep in a huddled position without a blanket, was startled by a very loud knock on the door. Half awake, Anne got out of bed and walked towards the door to open the lock she installed from the inside.
Bam!
Bam!
"Madam...open the door, Ma'am..."
Bam!
Bam!
"Wait a minute. I only have two legs," replied Anne nonchalantly as she covered her yawning mouth, sleeping in the early morning made her still very sleepy.
"Anne... it's me, Alice!! Quickly open the door," Alice shouted loudly, her voice sounded worried at the moment.
Anne scratched her itchy head. Not yet fully awake, she was irritated to hear people screaming in front of her room. With great difficulty, Anne finally managed to open the door to her room and immediately stood in front of Alice and several other maids who looked tense.
"What's wrong, Alice?" asked Anne quietly.
"Don't ask, Anne, now we need to get ready and go to Portsmouth," Alice answered quickly as she pushed Anne back into the room.
Anne, who didn't understand what was happening, looked like an idiot. She only obeyed when Alice asked her to change and leave immediately. However, because Anne had not washed her face and brushed her teeth, she finally went to the bathroom first.
"Come on, Anne...we don't have much time," said Alice repeatedly in front of the bathroom door.
Anne, who was brushing her teeth, then turned to Alice and took her toothbrush from her mouth and immediately rinsed it quickly without repeating it, whereas usually Anne would brush her teeth twice to make sure her teeth were really clean.
"Actually, why are we going to Portsmouth so early, Alice?" asked Anne curiously when she finished wiping her face with the small towel she had just taken from the clean towel storage.
Alice's face paled at Anne's question. "L-later when you get there, Erick will answer your question, Anne."
"Erick? Why should Erick explain? Can't you explain it to me?" said Anne quickly. She felt that Alice's attitude was very strange this morning.

Because she didn't want to talk much, Alice finally chose to take Anne's hand and immediately pulled her out of the bathroom to immediately go to Portsmouth. Anne didn't bring anything because she didn't have a cell phone after she threw it away on the street after the fight with Leon. During the 1 hour 45 minute journey from London to Portsmouth, Anne kept asking Alice about what had actually happened to the point that she was dragged along to the city near the English Channel, but Alice did not answer any of the questions Anne gave. Instead, she was busy with her cell phone and kept talking to some people that Anne didn't know. Anne felt even more curious when she almost arrived at Portsmouth International port. The reason was that the port was already full of police cars and ambulances as well as several other large cars that Anne didn't recognize.
"What is going on in this place, Alice? Why are there so many police cars and ambulances?" asked Anne quietly. Her sleepiness which was now completely gone when she saw a lot of police cars. She suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Anne, let's go out and meet Erick," Alice answered softly in a hoarse voice, her eyes were red at this point.
Anne looked at Alice with a look full of confusion. She was increasingly puzzled at what was happening at this time. Since Alice had gotten out of the car, Anne rushed down and immediately stood beside Alice, who was wearing the Muller Finance International ID card around her neck.
"Why are you wearing the company ID card here, Alice?" Anne asked again for the umpteenth time because she felt that everything Alice did was very confusing.
Alice turned to Anne and gripped her hand. "Don't ask too many questions, come with me."
Anne nodded her head slowly hearing Alice's words. She then walked slowly following Alice's footsteps which led her into the harbor area past the police line that surrounded the harbor area. Initially, Anne was not allowed to enter the port area because she did not carry an ID card like Alice, but because suddenly Erick arrived, Anne and Alice were finally allowed to pass through the police barricades that were securing the area.

"What's wrong, Erick? What's with all of this? Why are there so many police, health workers and all these people?" asked Anne, panting for breath as she quickly followed Erick to the seafront area. She felt uncomfortable that there were so many journalists taking photos while they were walking. Luckily, Anne had time to hide her face so that the reporters did not get a perfect photo of her face.
Erick just kept silent hearing Anne's question. His pale and tired face due to lack of sleep clearly showed how chaotic Erick's condition was and it made Anne even more uneasy. Alice, who was walking beside Erick, just looked down and pretended not to hear Anne's words.
Annoyed, Anne accelerated her steps and immediately stopped in front of Erick and Alice, who were walking very fast. She faced the two people with emotion.
"If no one explains what's happening right now to me, then I'd better go home. I don't want to spend time in this place like a lunatic that the two of you ignored," Anne rebuked loudly with emotion.
Erick bit his lower lip hard. He looked very confused about where to talk, and so did Alice, who slowly lowered her head avoiding eye contact with Anne who was standing in front of them.
"I ask you one more time, Erick, answer me or I go home. I don't want to be in a cold place like this, Erick. You see my clothes are not too thick. Tell me what happened, Erick, I'm ready to hear it," said Anne quietly.
"Erick..."
"Master disappeared from the yacht, Madam, since three o'clock in the morning we couldn't find him in every corner of the ship and when we looked at the CCTV it turned out that..."
"What happened, Erick?!" said Anne quickly cutting Erick's words. She felt that Erick spoke very slowly.
Erick looked at Anne with teary eyes. "It turned out that from the CCTV monitoring it was seen that Master had fallen into the sea at 2.30 am."
Thump!
"What did you say?!!!!!" Anne screamed hysterically.
"Madam..."
"Y-you're lying, Erick, I know Jack couldn't be that stupid. He wouldn't have dared to jump into the cold sea, he's not an idiot, Erick...Jack couldn't have done that," Anne shrieked loudly.
Seeing Anne was hysterical, Alice then approached her and immediately hugged her tightly. She tried to calm Anne who was constantly screaming Jack's name. While Erick with his tired face couldn't say anything. As he didn't sleep all night, he didn't have much energy to calm Anne who was screaming continuously, calling Jack's name which made everyone who heard it touched because Anne called Jack with a trembling voice which was almost inaudible.
"Relax, Anne, the officers are working hard to find Mr. Jack, our hope is still high, so please don't panic like that, we better pray to God that he will be found soon," said Alice quietly calming Anne.
"But this is the sea, Alice, and it's winter... what if he..."
"Don't be discouraged, Anne, we haven't found his body yet. So don't jump to conclusions like that, the police are currently working hard," said Alice quickly cutting off her words. Anne.
Hearing Alice's words made Anne pause for a moment. She slowly wiped her tears and walked over to Erick. Anne roughly grabbed Erick's hand and gripped it tightly.
"Take me to the CCTV room on the cruise ship, Erick... I have to see for myself, I'm sure it's not Jack. Jack must still be in one of the cruise ship rooms, Erick."
