Chapter 143

That morning, I came to the office earlier than usual. Two days after my examination with the police, Reyhan and I had officially reported Atika for fraud and extortion to the police. Our report was being processed before a warrant was issued to arrest Atika. This morning, I met with the Orchid school staff; someone came up from the tenth floor while I was in the elevator—a woman wearing a black blazer, material pants the same color as her blazer, and sunglasses. I didn’t feel suspicious of the woman until finally, the woman turned around and attacked me. She strangled my neck until I couldn’t breathe. My back was pressed against the wall of the elevator.
