Chapter 595 Being Afraid

Along with the usual tasks that she had to do, Ashley now had other responsibilities. Her main job now was to draw electronically through the software, the sketches that Sarah had drawn by hand. Ashley also had to modify the sketches as per Sarah's instructions.

The added responsibilities were quite different from the usual.

After all, an assistant was usually tasked with menial tasks like buying lunch or coffee.

This was no longer the case with Ashley. Once she was hired, she attracted a lot of attention in the company.

Some found this strange, and some were genuinely happy for her.

During their break, Lena managed to catch up with Ashley. "I'm so happy for you! I told you that you would fit right in, didn't I?"

Lena was the first person Ashley had met when she was hired. Lena had always been kind to Ashley and was very supportive of her. "Yes you were right. I'm very happy too," Ashley said. "I told you Sarah's not so mean. She's actually a nice person. I don't know why everyone thinks she's hard to work with."

"I don't know myself. It's probably just the reputation she has developed around here over time. Almost none of her previous assistants could last for more than a month. She also seems so cold and distant all the time. I guess that's why they think that way about her.

Anyway, all the rumors came from her assistants. So it's to be expected,"

Lena said, smiling carelessly.

Ashley replied, "Well, maybe."

"Well, let's not talk about that. I haven't congratulated you yet. You've become a top assistant of Sarah now!"

Lena shook her head. "You're being modest. It's very different."

Ashley was curious and asked, "What makes you say that it's different?"

Lena pulled Ashley aside and whispered in her ear, "You kno

was home, Ashley just wanted to rest and sleep. She had no energy to do anything else.

Her hectic schedule lasted for about a week. In the days that followed, Ashley began to feel uncomfortable at work. She often felt dizzy and had to lean against the office wall. Ashley began to wonder if she was getting enough rest as she should.

Ashley started to panic. She was starting to feel ill. Was this some kind of bad omen, perhaps?

Ashley's heart began to beat faster from the stress.

Ashley had meant to go abroad for treatment, but she didn't expect that something like this would happen. She had already been robbed, and was forced to postpone any treatment or checkup.

Perhaps she had put it off for too long, and now this had happened.

Ashley began to panic and immediately phoned Ida. She asked for a day off so she could head to the hospital and get a checkup. Ashley could not afford to put this off any longer.

"I'm not feeling well," Ashley said.

Ida couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable. I think I need to get myself checked out. I don't think I can make it to work today. Can you tell Sarah that I need to take the day off?"
