Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

At that precise moment, the door beside her opened. The next second, the crowd rushed in, bringing in the fresh air.

Anna sat numbly on the floor, unable to process what had just occurred. People standing outside the door were also taken aback and shocked. They had just witnessed the crime scene in their boss’s office.

The room appeared in disarray, with debris scattered all over the floor. Holding a blood-soaked dagger in her right hand, Anna sat by the door, and a man lay beside her. Blood was dripping from his body and seeping into the beige floor cracks.

“Someone call the police and ambulance!” Suddenly, someone shouted. It wasn’t until then that some people of the crowd who regained their composure acted quickly. However, most of them were still in shock and stood very still.

Wayne had just stepped out of the elevator when he noticed a young man frantically explaining the situation over his cell phone, “Someone has been injured here. I’m not sure if the man is still alive, but there’s a lot of blood here. Yes, we do need an ambulance.”

Hearing the word “blood”, Wayne became terrified and could feel his heart pounding. He immediately ran toward Anna’s office and pushed aside the people in his way. By the time he reached the office door, he exhaled a sigh of relief at the sight that Anna was safe and sound. Then he walked up to her on the bloodstained floor and said softly, “Anna.”

His voice was gentle as if it held the most powerful force in the world and was pulling Anna back from the abyss. A while later, Anna looked less pale, and she gradually shifted her gaze to Wayne’s face. When she looked Ff up and saw Wayne in front of her, she dropped the dagger in her hand and shuddered, “Wayne, he… he’s dead.” She sobbed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. And the blood on her hands splattered on his suit, shirt, and tie.

“It’s okay. I’m here to take you home,” Wayne said firmly as he stroked her back with one hand. His voice was as gentle as moonlight. As he spoke, he helped her up and walked to the door. And then, Wayne led Anna out of Lemon’s office, ignoring the mess on the floor.

On the way home, Anna stared blankly out of the window and felt sick as she smelled the blood in the car. As a group of students crossed the crosswalk, their car stopped at an intersection. Seeing their youthful faces, Anna realized something, sat straight, and exclaimed, “Isabella! Bill said Isabella is in danger!”

With a serious expression, Wayne nodded, dialed Noel’s number, and briefly explained the situation to him.
