🎈CHAPTER 23🎈

•°Corinne's POV°•

I was sitting in the office, busy with the final editing before this month's issue gets printed out. It wasn't my job at first, but when Charles found out, I do it better than the editing team, he demanded I should always have a last look before it gets printed.

I do get paid extra, for all the extra things I do for the company, so I wasn't really complaining, and it kept me busy.

It was around lunch time, I've just went out to get us something to eat and our usual drinks, when I got back we sat down having random conversations and eating at our own pace.

"The days seem to be going by faster these days." Charles points out, which was true, we have had so many meetings we had to attend too, the last two weeks, i felt like sleeping for three.

"We've been busy, this month's issue, is kinda important, not just to us, but a lot of other people." I stated, taking a bite of my sandwich.

"Yeah, a lot has happened this month." Charles says in agreement.

My phone started ringing on my table, I got up to get it, looking at the caller id the number wasn't one I knew, but the call did come from Derry, Maine, seeing that, my legs started feeling weak, but I still picked up.

"Hello."

"Hey, Corinne Summers? This is Mike from Derry." A male voice says.

"Mike who?" I asked having Charles look at me curiously.

"Mike Hanlon. You need to come home, all of you do."

After I got where he wanted to meat and what time, I hanged up, Charles was about to ask what the call was all about, but i suddenly got really dizzy and fainted.

Waking up in the hospital, wasn't very pleasant, but Charles told me he didn't have any choice. I ended up begging him for a few days off work, because something important came up with friends I used to know back in middle school.

Charles gave me permission, but told me to take his car instead, knowing it won't break down and leave me next to a road.
