The Substitute Bride

It was almost noon when Sheryl and Isla reached the skyscraper.

There were a multitude of firms inside the office building. The two of them entered and took the lift to the eighteenth floor.

As they exited the lift, they quickly looked around for Lansh Technology. It didn't take them long to find the company. They stood outside the office. Inside, the lights were on.

"Since those men went their separate ways, I thought that they might have closed down the place and ran away. It looks like I was wrong," Isla murmured in disbelief.

"What are you talking about? They are not in debt, why would they flee?" Sheryl retorted, shaking her head at her friend.

"Well, since they are not going to open the company, they will get their money back. Anyway, I don't think it's a good idea to continue to work with them," Isla voiced out her opinion, the same as before.

"Come on, this is not the time to argue with each other. Let's get inside," Sheryl said curtly. She hadn't changed her mind and she also had no intention of making Isla agree with her opinions. There was only one thought in her mind and that was to figure out what was going on with this company.

They entered the office, but there was no one at the reception desk to usher them in. No one from the office came forward to inquire about their visit either. The office seemed empty.

"Hello, is anyone here?" Sheryl called out, standing beside the reception desk.

Isla stood behind Sheryl. She followed the direction of her boss's gaze, but didn't see anyone inside.

"Is anyone here?" Sheryl raised her voice.

As she spoke, she and Isla walked towards the central part of the company.

They glanced around, but there was no one in sight. It was eerie.

"Sher, it looks like no one is here. Let's get out of here," Isla said with a frown. She didn't want to waste another minute wandering inside the empty office. The arrogant behavior of the staff had left a bad impression on her.

She had made several calls before coming in person, but no one had

n. She felt like she had met him before. A thought dawned on her. "Is he one of the founders of this company?" she guessed. She was unsure about her speculation, but she thought she had seen him at Cloud Advertising Company.

"Yes, he is," Sheryl confirmed her assumption. On behalf of Lansh Technology, this man had discussed the contract with Sheryl in Cloud Advertising Company. His immense passion towards his career had impressed Sheryl. So she recognized him immediately.

But she couldn't remember his name.

"What should we do? Should we take him to the hospital?" Isla asked, confused as to what to do next.

She stared at the unconscious man, not knowing if they should interfere anymore.

"Call the ambulance," Sheryl suggested with furrowed eyebrows. She had thought about driving him to the hospital.

But then she changed her mind. She had no idea why he had blacked out, and hence she couldn't perform any first aid on him. She decided to wait for the emergency personnel to come.

"Okay. I am calling now!" Isla replied in a fluster. She pulled out her cell phone and called the ambulance immediately.

When she got through to them, she filled them in on their location. Soon, the emergency personnel rushed to Lansh Technology and carried the young man to the ambulance.

Sheryl and Isla followed the ambulance to the hospital.
