Sharon got to the studio and saw Tiffany bent over the counter, sighing every five seconds.Sharon
quietly asked the girl nearby, "What's wrong with her?"
"No idea.She's been like this since yesterday."
Sharon walked over to her, "Tiffany, have you had breakfast?"
Tiffany raised her tired face to look at her, "Yeah."
"What did you have?"
"A lesson."
"...”
Sharon dragged Tiffany to her office, "What's wrong? You're not feeling well?"
Tiffany replied with her eyes blank, "Huh? Oh, yeah, maybe."
"Let me drive you back to rest, or should we go to the hospital?"
Tiffany shook her head and then collapsed onto the sofa, "Nah, I just need more sleep.I'll be fine."
Sharon knew from her looks that she was hurt by love.She stopped asking more and ordered some
breakfast for her on the phone.
"Take a nap then.I'll wake you up later."
Tiffany nodded as she closed her eyes.
Breakfast arrived half an hour later.
Tiffany kept on sleeping after eating until noon.
She had just stretched her back when she heard some knockings on the door, and a girl showed up,
"Tiffany, Tiffany, Ummm.....Daniel is here."
Tiffany paused halfway through her stretching, saying nothing.
"Did he tell you what he's doing here?" asked Sharon.
"Nope.But he came yesterday as well.Tiffany wasn't here, so he waited for about half an hour and then
left after saying he'd be back today."
"He's here for you.So?"
Tiffany retracted her arms slowly, "Tell him I'm not in.....no, tell him I'm out of town, abroad, and I won't
be back until eight or ten years later."
"....." both the girl and Sharon went speechless.
Sharon said to the girl, "Tell him that Tiffany went for shooting.If he asks for the address, just tell him
you don't know."
"Alright."
After the door was shut, Sharon asked, "Did you guys....."
"No! Nothing happened whatsoever!" Tiffany over-reacted.
"?"
Sharon was struck dumb for a second and then had her eyes wide open, "You DIDN'T!"
Tiffany regretfully said, "Gosh, don't even mention it! He regret it! I don't even know what I was
thinking.But it was all that son of a bitch Asher Lawson's fault! If he didn't go nuts that night, I wouldn't
have done anything impulsive....."
Sharon frowned at this, "Asher Lawson? Did he give you trouble?"
Tiffany summarized it briefly, "He somehow found me where I live, and then he went crazy.....Then
Daniel showed up."
Sharon frowned even more intensely, "You can't stay there anymore.Have you started looking for a new
place?"
"Yeah, but haven't found anything yet.I lived in a hotel last night."
Sharon took a look at the time and said, "I need to pick Ruben up later and go to Josh Allyson's
apartment.After that, I'll go house hunting with you."
Tiffany nodded, "What do you guys go there for?"
"Bridger Fowler asked me to go.I don't know the details yet."
"Bridger Fowler?"
"He's been staying there these days."
When Sharon got up to leave, Tiffany followed her, "I'll go with you.I've nothing to do right now anyway."
Sharon thought it would do her good to move a little considering her condition right now.So she agreed.
Daniel saw them getting in the car, so he drove behind them.
At the college, Tiffany was cheered up upon seeing Ruben, "Ruben, is there any handsome boy with
an eight pack in your college that you can introduce to me? I want the athletic type whose healthy and
plays sports."
",....Did you break up with Daniel?" said Ruben.
Tiffany's smile froze.
She awkwardly laughed, "We were never together.What breakup are you talking about?"
Ruben didn't believe a word.
After a while, they reached their destination.It was an old apartment building.
"Let's go,"said Sharon.
Ruben walked in the front, "The lights are broken.Watch your steps."
It was dark in the stairwell.
No light could get in.
Tiffany wasn't as familiar with the place as they were.She accidentally stepped on air.
"Ahh!" she screamed as she thought she was going to fall.
But someone held her from behind.
Tiffany fell into his arms.
Sharon and Ruben turned to check on her, but they both turned back quietly and kept going after
seeing this scene.
Tiffany hastily regained her balance to keep a distance from him, "What are you doing here?"
Daniel put his arms back and smiled.
"I'm here for you."
Saying nothing more, she picked up her pace to catch up with Sharon.
Sharon took out the key to open the door.
After everyone got in, she said, "Come out now."
Bridger Fowler tumbled in from the balcony.
Ruben frowned upon seeing him.
Bridger didn't expect to see so many people either as quite alert.
"They're all my friends.We have some other things to do later, so they followed along.If you want, I can
talk to you alone."
"No, it's fine" said Bridger.
If Sharon wished him ill, she wouldn't have let him stay here for such a long time.
Bridger started walking towards Josh Allyson's bedroom, "Come."
Ruben first looked at all the clothes and stuff on the floor.
Then he turned his eyes to the empty closet, "What is this?"
Bridger stood still in front of the closet as he explained, "Based on my knowledge of him, it was queer
that he didn't try to sell the house when he was in so much debt.So this house must be unusual--he
must have kept something here."
He went on after a short pause, "I searched for a few days and found the back of this closet hollow.So
behind it must be the thing he hid."
"You haven't opened it?" asked Sharon.
"Not yet.No matter what it is, I feel it should only be revealed with your presence."
Sharon understood what he meant.
As the former family members of Josh Allyson, she and Ruben were the most appropriate to find out
what he was keeping.
Bridger picked up an iron stick on the floor and then smashed it into the panel.
