Ethan Thompson had a meeting in the afternoon, so he got off work a bit late.
Just as he arrived at the parking lot, he saw Asher Zimmerman smoking—a rare sight since Zimmerman knew Ethan detested the smell of cigarettes and generally refrained from smoking before driving him.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Ethan became immediately sensitive; after more than 20 years together, the two men were very familiar with each other and had a strong understanding.
"Young Master took Miss Ainsworth to six hospitals for appraisal," Asher said, looking at Ethan, "and three of those hospitals are beyond our control. One belongs to Miss Ainsworth's classmate, and the other two to the Young Master's classmates and close friends."
"How could this be?" Ethan massaged his temples with his hand, "What should we do?"
