The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1002

Zach's eyes widened as the box came hurtling toward him. Instinctively, he stepped back, only to crash into the wall behind him. He couldn't dodge it in time, and the box slammed into his shoulder.

Whatever was in that box, it was heavy. The impact sent a wave of pain shooting through his body, leaving his arm momentarily numb.

Zach turned white as a sheet, his head having also knocked against the wall in his retreat, leaving him a bit woozy.

The guy in the baseball cap saw his chance and rushed over, trying to grab the box for another go. But when he caught sight of someone entering the hallway, he abandoned his plan and slipped away through the emergency exit.

The new arrival was Zach's assistant. He'd been waiting in the lounge, and when Zach didn't come out, he decided to check on him.

He hurried over, eyes wide with worry, and supported Zach. "Zach, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Zach was still feeling a bit dizzy but managed to gather himself after a moment. He looked up, waved his hand, and said softly, "I'm alright."

Despite Zach's words, his assistant couldn't shake off his concern, especially seeing how pale Zach was. He glanced at the floor, quickly picked up Zach's fallen glasses, and handed them to him.

"I'll call the DA's office and get someone to stop that guy," the assistant said, already pulling out his phone.

Zach leaned against the wall, silent, one hand clamped on his shoulder, his knuckles turning white, and the veins stark against his skin.
