I looked at the buns on the table. After a moment of hesitation, I ate them anyway.
I was unsure if these guys would shed off their pretense as lawyers, hence I must ensure I had the strength to resist when the time came.
I did not sleep the entire night. I felt awfully sleepy after eating, so I leaned back in the chair and dozed off.
While in a daze, I felt someone walk up beside me and grabbed my arm, seemingly injecting me with something. I tried to open my eyes to resist but my eyelids were just too heavy.
After a very long time, I finally woke up and looked at my arm. Sure enough, there was a needle hole in my arm.
Before anything could come to mind, the door opened and the two women from before walked in.
They walked up to me and looked at me, saying, " Please come with us, Ms. Lane."
I looked at them with a frown, "What time is it right now?" "Two in the afternoon," one of the women replied.
I pursed my lips. "Has my friend and a lawyer arrived?"
The woman replied coldly, "No."
My heart sank. These were not Linda Corporations' lawyers. Horton would never find out where I was.
The women held down my arms and dragged me out o f the room by force.
They then took me into a room full of medical equipment. My instincts instantly kicked in. "What do you intend to do to me?"
A man in a white coat sitting in front of me answered, "Don’t panic, Ms. Lane. I'm just doing a physical examination on your heart."
I glared at him. "Why are you giving me a physical examination when you're suspecting that I stole the company's top secrets?"
"This is a formal procedure. All you need to do is give u s your full cooperation."
