A Mysterious Disappearance

We just had a celebration at our other office building as our Chairman himself just won an award for CEO of the Year. I wonder what kinds of criteria is to be met before anyone is deemed to win the CEO or CFO of the Year award?

Meanwhile, more news on the office front. Our office Administrative Assistant had disappeared without a trace. There had been no sign of her since we came back after the Chinese New Year weekend. All attempts to contact her at her mobile, home and home address proved futile. It is as if her entire family had disappeared.

There were speculations of course. Some said they had to run away from loan sharks, but from what I know of her since we used to do lunch together, and she had been pretty nice to help me out whenever I was overloaded, she and her family is not the type to get heavily into debt.

Some wondered if she was involved in an accident since there was no notice of her taking any medical leave or annual or urgent leave. She just went missing without a call. In fact, I received a Chinese New Year greeting from her the night of Chinese New Year's eve.

After a week, we wondered if our Human Resource Manager should lodge a report and check with the police, but she said it is not her business. I am pretty worried, because it is uncharacteristic of her (the Admin Assistant) to be so irresponsible and leave everything as it is without any advance notice.

I cannot even check with the police because I do not have her identity number, nor with hospitals as patients' names are confidential. I can only hope and pray that whatever happened and whatever her problems are, she can resolve them and live her life back to normal again.
