The Apple of My Eye

After hanging up the phone, Autumn decided to have lunch. Her colleagues had already left the office. She felt a sharp pain in the cervical spine as a result of years of hard work.

Just when Autumn came forward to see who the lady was, someone grabbed her into a tight embrace. A giant truck whizzed past her.

"Do you want to die?" Charles shouted in an angry yet concerned tone. Autumn pushed Charles away only to find that the lady across the street had disappeared.

"I'm talking to you, lady. Do you hear me?" Charles was boiling with anger. He came all the way from his office to have lunch with Autumn, only to see her desperately run into the middle of the road. He was still a little scared of what could have happened to Autumn.
