Chapter 306

was her brother who had introduced him, she became slightly more relieved. “I’ll wait inside. If I realize that things aren’t going right, I’ll call the police immediately.”“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”After Lisanne entered the lounge, Winnie invited Mason in. The moment he closed the door, he asked her, “Did Greta contact you after you came back?”“No.” Winnie frowned. I’ve got a vague impression of what happened to Greta…When she first returned and wanted Mason’s team to help her find Christopher’s corpse, she heard Mason’s subordinate mention something.That person said that Greta disappeared into thin air after that day and did not even visit Mason when he was hospitalized.If that’s the case… Winnie asked Mason, “You still haven’t found her? Did she disappear?”Disappointment washed over Mason when he heard her question. “Looks like she didn’t contact you.”Curious, Winnie asked, “Why are you so certain that she’ll contact me?” Mason’s brows furrowed. “I don’t know. I have no idea who she’d find after leaving me and that place. Despite working on so many missions for our boss, she was the happiest when working for you. She laughed a lot and even became more talkative. I think that you’re different to her.”“Really?” Winnie frowned, thinking that Mason’s guess was quite strange. “How different?”“Sunshine.”“Sunshine?” That increased Winnie’s confusion. “I don’t know what you mean.”Mason’s brows knitted together into a frown. “I didn’t understand at first but I got a clearer inkling afterward.”As he spoke, he fished out a palm-sized plastic envelope from the pocket sewn at the hem of his shirt. After he placed it carefully on the table, Winnie picked it up and scrutinized it closely.She discovered that there was an old photograph inside the envelope.From the looks of it, there were supposed to be two people in the photograph.One of them was Greta while the other person had been torn away. The word, ‘sunshine’, was written on the top right corner of the photograph.Doubts arose in Winnie’s mind as she stared at this strange photograph.She asked Mason, “Who’s beside Greta? Is it you?”“No!” Mason continued frowning. “She’s been carrying this photograph around even before I knew her. She treasures it a lot and would always stroke the word written on it. However, she’s gone without taking this photograph.”“But I’m sure that the person torn away from this photo isn’t me. Even if Greta wrote the word ‘sunshine’ on it, what does that have to do with me?”Mason choked up as he spoke. “Greta loves the sun. One of the things she always told me is that she hoped that the sun would shine over that dark and dirty place. When we were working for you, she suddenly told me one night that you smell like sunshine. Despite being with her for so long, I’ve never heard her describe anyone as smelling like sunshine. You’re the only exception.”“Smelling like sunshine…” Winnie remembered it instantly. In fact, she had a very strong impression of it as it was the first time someone described her that way.Greta was the one who did it.“Yeah, she mentioned it to me before.”She remembered Greta saying how she was different from the other employers.When she asked Greta why she was different, Greta replied that she possessed a sense of righteousness that other employers did not. It smelled especially like sunshine.Back then, her interest was piqued as she had not expected anyone to describe her like that.Greta said that she loved the smell of sunshine. She hoped that one day, the sunshine would cascade down the dark soil and illuminate every dirty corner of the world.Although she was a mercenary, she did not seem to enjoy being in that rich yet violent place. In fact, she hated it to her core.But…Winnie said, “She has never contacted me.”“Can you help me find her? I’m begging
