Ashton nodded. “We’ll go home together later. Are you craving any particular food?”

“No.” I shook my head.

He merely stared at me, as if protesting my answer. I pursed my lips and relented as I blurted, “Alright, Iwant to eat lobster, steamed fish, and pork ribs…” He smiled as I prattled on a long list of food,seemingly not paying any attention to my nonchalant request. Seeing that, I shrugged and stoppedtalking.

Because I was in a rush to take Summer to the hospital, I left right after I had taken my bag.

After heading out of the office, I bumped into Ashton’s secretary near the elevator. She was holding onto a lot of files and seemed like she was in a daze. She did not even realize when something fell off herhands.

“Hello!” I said.

It wasn’t until I repeated myself that she turned around to look at me. I waved the file that she haddropped at her and said, “You dropped something.”

Stumped, the woman bowed and thanked me for my help before retrieving the file.

“Sasha, what’s the matter with you?” A man who came out of the elevator asked her, “Is somethingwrong? Not only did you send the wrong documents, but you’re also losing things. And now, you’reeven bumping into people. Are you alright?”

Sasha shook her head, her eyes were red-rimmed. Joseph headed out of the elevator and noticed thatI was staring at the secretary. “Mrs. Fuller, what’s the matter?”

I said nothing as I shook my head. A feeling of uneasiness washed over me as I looked at her.

However, everyone was in a rush, so nobody cared to pay attention to someone who was unrelated tothem.

Some of the reporters were still waiting for Ashton downstairs. They were waiting for him to head out ofthe building and hoped that they would be able to get him to answer some questions.

Thinking that I might bump into the reporters again if I exited the building via the main entrance, Idecided to take the other exit at the back. Right then, I got a call from Cameron.

I searched for my keys as I picked up her call.

“Letty, are you at Fuller Corporation?”

“Yeah.” After locating my keys, I said, “But I’m leaving now and will reach home soon. How’s Summer?Is she still having a fever?”

“No, her fever’s subsided, but it’s been on and off for her.”

“Okay, I’m heading there right now. You…”

Bang! A loud noise cut me off and I subconsciously turned around to trace the origin. In the nextmoment, my eyes widened in horror.

Before me was a mangled woman whose face was indiscernible to me because of the blood that waspouring out of her head. I was only able to identify her as a woman through her long, bloodstained hair.

My legs turned to jelly as my mind went blank. My instincts were telling me that she had jumped off abuilding.

“Letty, what’s the matter?” Cameron’s voice came through from the other end. Stunned, I tried to speakbut no words came out of my mouth.

I was so shocked to the extent of losing my voice.

“Someone’s jumped off the building. Hurry! Call the police!” someone nearby shouted, fear and shockapparent in their voice.

Time went by and people started to crowd the scene. By now, I was standing in an ever-increasing poolof blood.

One glance was all it would take for some things to be forever etched in one’s mind. What was worsewas that the ghost of the image will continue to haunt one’s dreams.

From what level did she jump off? What kind of impact could make her head and body split into abloody mess of flesh like that?

“Mrs. Fuller, are you alright?” A voice rang in my ears. I was still too stunned to speak. I stared blanklyat Joseph who had appeared by my side and shuddered uncontrollably.

He looked worried and said, “Mrs. Fuller, let me send you back to Mr. Fuller’s office.”

He supported me and led me all the way back into Ashton’s office. At the sight of Ashton, I felt allenergy drained from my body as I slumped to the floor.

Ashton was quick to respond and managed to catch me in his embrace. Furrowing his brows, he turnedto Joseph and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Joseph sighed before saying, “Mrs. Fuller exited the building via the back exit and witnessed SashaBrooks committing suicide by jumping off the building. I reckoned Mrs. Fuller just got the shock of herlife.”

Sasha Brooks?

Was she the woman whom I bumped into just now?

But why did she jump off the building?

My brain was rife with questions.

Ashton’s brows creased as he said, “Alright. Inform the PR department to deal with this matterimmediately. Then, investigate everything about Sasha, her family, and her relationships. I want toknow why she’s committed suicide. Do not let the media go wild with speculation.”

Joseph nodded solemnly and left.

The door was closed and Ashton circled me in his embrace as my mind went numb. No words cameout of my mouth as I looked at him. He sat me on the sofa and poured a glass of water for me. Then,he looked into my eyes and said, “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”
