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.
