Chapter 1789


    "How about I have it sent over since we''re in the vicinity? They seem like they are going to be quite


    busy today"


    "Oh, okay-"


    In the end,n went along with it, Perhaps, he was also in agreement that there was not too much


    ground to cover.


    Never did he know, however, that the moment she took the item downstairs and exited that building,


    she immediately made a call to someone she had long wanted to reach out to.


    "Are you busy right now, Susan? I''ve something that I''d like to have your help with."


    "Huh?"


    Susan, who was busy revising for her examinations in school, let out a look of surprise when she


    received that call.


    Help? What sort of help? Isn''t this girl currently working withn? What else could she have that would


    be in need of my assistance?


    "The situation''s like this, Susann just passed me a set of data sheets that he said are the ounts


    for the project.As you know, I don''t work on stuff like that and it''s giving me a headache.That''s when I


    thought of you.So could I like, get you to offer me some pointers?"


    Through the phone, Yasmin seemed to have picked up on Susan''s doubts, and as such, took the


    initiative to borate further.


    As things stood, it did not seem proper for Susan to turn her down under these circumstances.


    Hence, that girl returned to school to seek out Susan some twenty minutester, clutching a stack of


    data sheets in her arms.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    "That many?"


    "Um-hum" replied Yasmin as she wiped the sweat off her own brow.


    "To be honest, Susan.I wanted to make a good impression of myself atn''spany now so that I


    might have a chance to work there after I graduate."


    She regarded her counterpart with a mixture of urging and self- consciousness.


    More significantly there, was the disy of resolve she had.


    "I see.It''s good thinking on your part.Actually, I''m nning to intern with them over the summer holidays


    myself.That''s why I''ve been in discussion with the lecturer to secure my qualifications earlier in order to


    facilitate my own entry" Susan chuckled.


    Without any semnce of guardedness, she also shared her personal ns in their entirety.


    At the tender age of just twenty-one and having been raised by her own parents thinking that the world


    was a ce filled with warmth and love, how could she have thought anyone capable of such


    deviousness? Her wariness from before had stemmed purely out of protectiveness overn.


    Yasmin lowered her eyes to conceal the enviousness and contempt that was madly entangling her like


    vines.


    Some parts of her heart had ultimately begun to sumb to the darkness that was slowly but surely


    devouring it.


    "Is that so? Splendid.Let us work hard toward our goal together then."


    "Okay.Sit tight for a bit while I get this ready for you, and oh, don''t telln.Just say that you did it


    yourself.I''ll teach you some basics on finance and ounting matterster."


    Susan made sure to offer a reminder before she got down to sorting out that set of data sheets.


    While Yasmin waited by the side, her phone suddenly rang about five minutester.


    "Hello?"


    "When will our supplies be arriving, Ms.Snow? We need them to get cracking."


    "Huh?"


    Yasmin shot up onto her feet when she heard that.


    That got Susan''s attention as she, too, lifted her head.


    "Is something wrong? What happened?"


    "There are some supplies that were due to be delivered to the site that has yet to arrive, and I wasn''t


    aware that they''re waiting to have them to work with.I may have to head down to the work site to look


    into it."


    "No worries.You go on ahead.Juste by to pick these up after they''re done."


    "But this one''s quite urgent as well"


    Yasmin was sweating buckets and appeared to be a little flustered.


    Seeing no alternatives, Susan could only offer to help deliver those data sheets on the girl''s behalf.


    That greatly pleased Yasmin.


    "Would you really? That''s terrific.In that case, shall I wait for you over at the work site?" she said with a


    look of gratitude.


    Susan happily obliged.


    Very soon, that girl was gone.


    On her own part, Susan focused herself on filling up those data sheets before she rode away with them


    on a bicycle from the school premises.


    At this juncture, she decidedly refrained from botheringn.


    Firstly, because she was studying for her own examinations.


    Secondly, she had seen how much he cared about Yasmin and wanted to give them some space.


    As far as that young man was concerned, she had always tried her utmost to satisfy him.


    That fateful day though, something was to happen to her after she entered that building that was under


    construction in the Old Town which she had not been in a very long time.


    Crack! She nked out when the cement board gave way a sudden beneath her feet, and the first


    thought that came to her mind was whethern would be able toplete his project in a timely


    manner if she were to meet with an ident there.


    "Hey! Come quickly! Somebody has fallen in!"


    The workers on site were in a frenzy when they witnessed this.


    Not far away, a girl who had long since been observing this from a distance saw the slender figure d


    in light blue cast adrift like an untethered kite.She shuddered all over.


    Bang! After Susan dropped into that massive foundation hole that was dug up, she vanished so quickly


    that it left Yasmin shell-shocked.


    When thetter was able to react, she broke into a frantic run, only to discover that it was a channel


    meant for the induction of cement.


    By the time she arrived upon thatrge mass of viscous te, the girl who was in the prime of her


    youth was already nowhere to be seen.


    The former''s strength deserted her…
