Green Orange.
Shannon and I were working in the office when I suddenly heard her say, “I feel like someone has been following me these past few days.”
I immediately looked up at her when she said this with worry in my eyes. “Do you know who they are?”
Shannon shook her head. “No. It’s just a feeling. I’m not sure either.”
“You should be more careful after you get off work.”
I warned while feeling worried. I was afraid that I was the cause of it.
Seeing me so worried, Shannon could not help but smile. “Oh, don't you worry too much. Jordan has already sent someone to protect me.”
I was relieved to hear this, else I would have been really worried that something might happen to her.
“You should still be careful.”
Shannon nodded and thought of something. “Speaking of which, even though it’s just a feeling, you have to be careful too. Let’s get off work together in case the other party suddenly changes targets.”
Hearing her concern, I smiled and nodded. I gave her some more warnings before going back to work.
After getting off work in the evening, the two of us drove home separately as usual. However, I kept having a sense of discomfort and unease the entire day.
My anxiety spiked when I recalled what Shannon said during the day. I decided to call her after some thought, but no one answered for a long time. After contemplating for a bit, I then turned around and drove toward her house.
I was feeling more and more worried about Shannon's safety while I was on the road and sped up. I ended up coming across a car accident halfway.
I felt a little scared that even my body was trembling a little.
I stopped the car, opened the door, and got down only to realize that the car involved in the accident was Shannon's.
I immediately ran over, ignoring the gazes of the people around me as my tears fell uncontrollably. “Shannon, Shannon!”
