The Glimmer Disappeared

3.

No... it was impossible!

I felt so breathless that I almost suffocated. I didn't dare to imagine that Don had stolen my ticket.

When I rushed to the company and went to the engineering department to find Don, he was not there at all.

I asked his supervisor, but the latter said that he didn't know. Don had not asked for leave.

My mind was a mess. I called Don and left a message, but there was no response.

I even called Don's parents, but no one answered.

I couldn't help but tremble.

I hoped that all of this was a misunderstanding.

But the truth was that when I knocked on Don's door, I found that there was no one at home...

I almost collapsed on the ground. Tears of regret rolled from my eyes.

I slapped myself crazily and scolded myself for being so stupid...

As I cried, I inquired about the process of receiving the bonus and learned that the first prize would have to be encashed in the provincial capital.
