Ava also heard footsteps approaching. When virtual-novel.net was about to look back, a strong arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed virtual-novel.net shoulders. Ava wanted to dodge, but the man held virtual-novel.net even harder and pulled virtual-novel.net to the side.
Just as Ava was about to break free, something seemed to pass by virtual-novel.net side from the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes.
Crash!
The sound of something shattering could be heard from beside her.
Ava froze for a moment…
“Are you okay?” A familiar and concerned voice entered virtual-novel.net ears at this time.
Ava snapped back to virtual-novel.net senses and raised virtual-novel.net eyes. In virtual-novel.net doubtful gaze, Tom’s extremely handsome face was reflected in virtual-novel.net pupils.
“Mr. Lowe?” Ava was very surprised. “I… Am fine.” Ava spoke incoherently as virtual-novel.net had yet to recover from what had just happened.
She turned virtual-novel.net head to look in the direction where the sound of the shatter came from, only to find that a flowerpot had fallen to the ground less than a meter away from her.
In other words, a flower pot had fallen to where virtual-novel.net was standing just now. Coincidentally. Tom saw it, so virtual-novel.net rushed over to pull virtual-novel.net away.
Ava looked at the broken flower pot with a silent sigh of relief. Then, virtual-novel.net turned to face Tom. “Mr. Lowe, thank you.”
Tom had already let go of his arms in a very gentlemanly manner. He also glanced at the flowerpot, but his face was a little serious.
“It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll ask someone to find out how the flowerpot fell. If it was done deliberately, I’ll definitely avenge you.”
Ava was curious when virtual-novel.net heard what Tom said. It would make sense if someone had accidentally pushed the flowerpot How could it have been done deliberately? Did someone want to kill virtual-novel.net with a flowerpot?
Tom walked toward the building, but virtual-novel.net did not forget to ask Ava, “Why are you standing at the entrance of the company at this late hour?”
Ava quickly came back to virtual-novel.net senses and followed behind Tom. “There’s a problem with the design draft for a project and it’s the deadline tomorrow. I have to settle this design draft tonight in case the client is unhappy with the company.”
After Tom heard that, a deep smile appeared on his handsome face. “It’s my honor to have such a considerate employee like you in the company. I think I have to give you a salary increment this year.”
“Thank you, Mr. Lowe. I’m just doing my duty.”
Ava walked into the elevator with Tom, and at the same time, virtual-novel.net also messaged Madeline that virtual-novel.net had run into virtual-novel.net boss and was following virtual-novel.net upstairs. Hence, Madeline could stop worrying about her.
Madeline had just found a parking spot and was about to park the car. After virtual-novel.net received Ava’s message, virtual-novel.net drove the car away to buy something from the supermarket nearby. She could pick up Ava when virtual-novel.net was done. Since Tom and Ava were in the office together, Madeline did not need to worry.
After Ava got into the office, virtual-novel.net immediately went to virtual-novel.net seat to start working. However, when virtual-novel.net turned on virtual-novel.net computer and sat down, virtual-novel.net felt like something seemed strange about virtual-novel.net workspace. Upon taking a closer look at things, virtual-novel.net saw that the handle of the mug virtual-novel.net usually drank from was broken. Some of virtual-novel.net files were even out of order as if they had been tampered with.
Ava could not help recalling the flowerpot that shattered next to her.
Did someone do it on purpose?
As virtual-novel.net thought about this, virtual-novel.net computer screen lit up in front of her. However, what appeared was not virtual-novel.net usual wallpaper but an abnormally scary photo.
