Ashlyn’s expression turned cold as she now was sure that her drink was poisoned.
Without giving a second thought, she pulled her phone out and checked the CCTV in the hall.
After reversing to the right time, she saw a cleaner creep up to her seat and pretended to sweep the floor while she dropped something into the cup.
The thing dissolved immediately and left no trace.
Who? Who’s behind this?
Ashlyn turned her phone off and returned to the hall.
She scanned everyone in it but it was impossible to find out who was trying to harm her by just looking.
Everyone had a smile on their faces, but Ashlyn couldn’t help wondering who was faking it.
She did not tell anyone about the incident as she continued on with her job.
When Mr. Field’s assistant arrived, everyone was still busy around with their rehearsal. The assistant was surprised at what Ashlyn got done on such short notice as she managed to control the whole situation with the extras.
He left after staying for a short while.
After the rehearsal ended, Ashlyn walked out of the hall and immediately noticed the Bentley parked on the other side of the road.
The window of the Bentley rolled down and behind it appeared Lucas’ handsome face.
Ashlyn stopped and the first thing she thought of was running in the other direction.
Yet, before she could do so, Lucas called her. “I sent you to work this morning, so it’s normal for me to take you home, right? Get in.”
His tone was bossy as he did not give Ashlyn any chance to refuse.
As Ashlyn moved towards the Bentley, the extras walked out of the hall. “Ms. Berry! Did you not come in your car today?”
“I didn’t...”
