On Monday, Aria was dressed elaborately for working. But she could never expect that she was captured by two unknown men on her road to the company.
Following that, it was several kicks on her belly, which caused great pain and nearly made her lose consciousness. She screamed, “Who are you!”
But the answer was silence. What was worse, cold water was thrown on her all over. She and her expensive handbag were all wet.
“No! Who the fuck are you! I’m calling the police. You all will suffer!”
However, no one cared about what she said. She was dragged into the washroom and her phone was taken away.
When Elena arrived at the company, she asked Charlie not to get the video first. Sophia spent the whole morning waiting for Aria; however, Aria didn’t appear, and her two assistants didn’t, either.
Charlie then made an announcement that their semi-annual bonus would be deducted for absence from work without reason.
Sophia was happy to hear that and gave him an admirable expression in her eyes. Charlie was so proud and accepted it.
While Coral was surprised about Aria’s absence. “I know she is a difficult person, but I never see her be that late for work. What happened to her?”
“I bet nothing! If it does, she deserves this and must hide herself for guilty deed!”
“Do you know anything? Just tell me!” Coral said.
“I…I know nothing!” Sophia refused to talk more about it, and tried to change the topic, “I just thought that she might offend others with her bad manners.”
Coral agreed and patted Sophia’s head slightly, “Stop talking nonsense and focus on your work.”
Sophia replied in languid tone, “OK...”
Sophia couldn’t wait to ask Elena after seeing Coral leaving the room, “Hey, Elena, did you make them absent from work today?”
“No.” Elena answered seriously.
“Then it might be him? Logan?”
“Coral’s right. Stop talking nonsense and focus on your work.” Elena said.
“So, am I right?” Sophia continued.
“I don’t know.” Elena nodded her head and answered again.
Though Logan promised to let herself handle this, he might also do something while getting the photos, for example, revenge?
Later in the afternoon, the two assistants asked for a sick leave because of getting a bad cold and staying in the hospital. But Aria arrived at the company despite headache. The first thing after returning to the company was to find Elena. She questioned one of her colleagues in a terrible tone.
The poor colleague was too scared to finish her sentence, “She…she might be at the pantry.”
Aria rushed into the pantry, seeing Elena was pouring water into her glass. She cursed at Elena and yelled, “Elena, you fucking slut!” Aria didn’t look well right now. Her face was as pale as a ghost. And she got a running nose.
Elena stopped pressing the button for warm water, and quietly turned to the one for hot water.
The yelling of Aria caught other colleagues’ attention. Elena gave her a glance and said, “What’s the matter, Aria? What happened to you? You don’t look good.”
“You slut! That’s because of you!” Aria wanted to slap her face and raised her hand without hesitation. However, Elena was taller than her and easily stopped her by grabbing her hand. Elena watched Aria’s ugly face at ease.
“Why are you so angry, Aria? You even want to slap me. Did I do anything wrong?” She said and looked at her with innocence.
Most of colleagues didn’t know what happened and stood here, watching and whispering.
