Chapter 70 I’ve Taken Photographs... (2/2)

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

At one point, she felt as though the whole office had visited her and either apologized or fawned over her for she was Zed's wife and now, Sonny's apprentice.

Jean disliked how fickle her colleagues were being. All this while, when they hated her for cheating on Zed, Jean had enjoyed peace at the office. No one had disturbed her.

But now, she couldn't seem to find the time to work! When she was new at Sonny's company, Jean had wanted to make friends. However, now that she knew what her colleagues were like, she didn't care too much. Eventually, when they saw that she was not interested in anything more than a genial conversation, they left.

The only time Jean seemed to find any peace, was when her colleagues had left for the evening. However, she had to work late to make up for lost time at work.

Alone at the company, Jean channeled her energy into revising photographs. When she finished, she looked at the time and was surprised to see that it was ten o'clock. At the moment, it was pretty quiet in the company. Even a tiny sound could be heard clearly.

Jean was about to turn off the lights and leave when she heard the sound of a closing restroom door. She was dazed for a few seconds. Who else was still at the company at such a late time?

Could it be a thief?

The minute she thought about this, Jean panicked.

She walked to the restroom as quietly as possible and carefully listened for more sounds. Perhaps she had been wrong? When she heard nothing for a while, Jean wondered if she had imagined the sound of the closing door. Regardless, her heart pounded in her chest. All kinds of horrific thoughts flooded her mind.

What if it was really a thief, what should she do?

Jean's ears pricked as she heard another sound. She could tell that it was coming from the men's restroom. Jean snuck closer to the door and was about to push it. All of a sudden, it was opened from the inside. Jean was shocked and found herself unable to move.
