“Lennie, just stay right here until I’m back. I’ll be heading over to the financial department to collect the check.”
“Mmm.”
Lance, who was occupied with his phone, hummed in response.
The moment she reached the financial department, the entire building started shaking, accompanied by a thunderous bang.
“What’s going on? Are we under attack?”
“Someone has blown up the building! They’re fighting again!”
The person’s words indicated that it wasn’t the first time such a thing had occurred.
Within a few seconds, all hell broke loose in the building.
Immediately after Sasha retrieved the check, she put it into her bag along with the contract and rushed in the direction of the entrance.
However, the petite woman ended up being shoved to the side by the crowd before she could reach the entrance.
To make things worse, the ones outside started firing shots at those in the building.
Bang!
When Sasha witnessed a woman collapsing in front of her the moment she was shot in the head, she covered her mouth and started retching in disgust.
This is horrifying! Where the heck am I? Why are we under attack in an office?
Overwhelmed with fear, she started shaking involuntarily.
No! I can’t die just yet! Lance needs me! I need to make my way back to him! He’s still waiting for me upstairs!
Initially, her mind was all over the place, but at the thought of returning to her cousin, she braced herself and made her way up the stairs.
When she was about to dash upstairs, a man shattered the window and barged into the office out of nowhere. He grabbed her hand and yelled, “Nancy, we need to hurry up and make our way out!”
The moment the startled Sasha returned to her senses, she asked the man behind her, “H-Huh? Solomon? What are you doing here?”
Solomon had no intention of explaining himself. Instead, he took her away against her will, jumping out of the window while holding her in his arms.
Sasha was in a state of bewilderment at the turn of events.
Only after Solomon brought her into the car and departed did she finally snap out of her trance.
“Where are you bringing me? Lance is still in the building! Stop the car at once! I need to make my way back to Lance!”
