I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1103

Chapter 1103: A Death, an Injury, Heaven and Man Apart

Sandy hung up the phone, opened the car door, and stepped out of the car. As she entered the photography studio, the receptionist immediately greeted her, "Miss Thompson, the boss asked me to take you upstairs."

Sandy nodded slightly, "Thank you."

She was still a little angry. When she was at the Hawkins family that day, she saw Jim putting a ring on Nelson's finger. She thought the two had settled down, stabilized. But she never expected that in just one day, such a big change would occur.

The elevator ascended and quickly stopped on the top floor. "Miss Thompson, the boss is in the innermost room. You can go straight there."

Sandy expressed her gratitude and walked toward the innermost room. When she reached the door, she knocked lightly. Upon hearing a response from inside, she opened the door and walked in.

The room was dimly lit, with curtains tightly drawn. Sandy smelled alcohol as soon as she entered. She furrowed her brows and walked to the window, pulling back the curtains to reveal the person sitting on the floor.

Jim looked disheveled, a far cry from the clean and determined person she had seen just two days ago. Sandy was taken aback by the sight.

Jim spoke first, "Why did you come here?"

He stood up and approached the window, opening it. "Let's go to another room. This place is filled with smoke, not suitable for you."

Sandy didn't say anything and followed him to another office.

"Would you like something to drink?" Jim turned around, sat on the sofa, and gestured for Sandy to sit as well.

Sandy wasn't overly polite and took a seat across from Jim. "No, thank you. I don't need anything."

However, Jim still had two glasses of lukewarm water brought over. He handed one to Sandy and held the other himself. "Did you come to see me because of Nelson?"

Sandy didn't deny it. "Did everything change overnight?"

Jim paused for a moment upon hearing Sandy's question. Then he replied, "An accident happened. I didn't have any other choice."

He continued, his tone faltering slightly, "Of course, I'm not shifting the blame. It's true that my abilities fell short. I couldn't protect him, couldn't give him any assurance. It's my fault that I couldn't prevent these unfortunate events."

Sandy looked at Jim. The questions she had wanted to ask on the way here were now difficult to bring up. The two of them sat silently in the empty office, neither speaking.

After a long while, Sandy picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip, her voice slightly hoarse when she finally spoke, "I had a friend once. He was in a situation similar to yours. He had survived countless difficulties, but when faced with the eighty-first hardship, he was separated from his loved ones. Soon after, he left this world as well."

When Sandy first entered the industry, she met a delicate-looking young man. They were both newcomers, unfamiliar with the rules and often found themselves offending others unwittingly.
