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, I want 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 stopped talking.

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 on to a lot of files and seemed like she was in a daze. She did not even realize when something fell off her hands.

“Hello!” I said.

It wasn’t until I repeated myself that she turned around to look at me. I waved the file that she had dropped 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 something wrong? Not only did you send the wrong documents, but you’re also losing things. And now, you’re even bumping into people. Are you alright?”

Sasha shook her head, her eyes were red-rimmed. Joseph headed out of the elevator and noticed that I 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.
