60 A Scapegoat?
Lina woke up the next morning.. a little earlier than when she was supposed to get up. The anxiety that was instilled in her due to the unknown Whatsapp messages started to have an effect on her brain. She turned on her mobile phone to check if there were any more messages from that unknown number. Surprisingly there were..
--------
089******: Lina, your life is in danger. What seems like a beginning of a fairy tale to you, is actually going to be your worst nightmare. Wang and his family are going to destroy you and your family. They are going to win your trust, and then put all the blame of a financial scam, that they did, on you. This way.. they will sacrifice one of their employee's life to save their company and their reputation.
Why do you think they will hire someone.. so untrained.. for the Wang's personal assistant job?
You have to meet me as soon as possible.
I understand, that you have taken some money from the CEO's aunt. You don't have to worry about that. I have a solution to protect you from the scam.. as well as.. get you more money that will help you and your family.
Just message or call me if you want to save your life. And then, I will tell you about my location.
Trust me, I can help you.
Your well wisher - A friend

Lina was scared and confused. She did not know what to do. She could not tell anyone about the job. And now, these messages began to trouble her. Was it true that everything that was happening was planned? Could it be possible that Aunt Ning and Wang had planned it all together?
Lina decided to take a leave for a day from Wang Fashion House, and pay a visit to this 'unknown friend'. She sent a message to her boss, Mr. Wang, on his Whatsapp.
--------
Respected Mr. Wang,
My grandmother is not keeping well. She had to be admitted to the hospital today, so I would be needing a leave. There is no one else to look after her. I understand that I am asking for a leave at a moment when the office needs me, but I hope you will understand the kind of urgency I have.
Regards,
Lina

Lina visited her grandmother's room. "Grandma! My boss wants me to travel with him for a day. I am going to get ready now," Lina said and walked back to her room to freshen up.
Half an hour later, Lina walked out of her house. Whenever she had to think about something, she always visited the seaside area. Lina thought of telling Willie everything about the messages, but decided to first think about it by herself.
Lina reached the seaside area and sat on a bench. She took out her mobile phone and replied to the messages from the unknown number.
--------
Lina: Where can I meet you? I wish to discuss more.
--------
Lina received a call from the unknown number. She was scared. Gathering up some courage, she picked up the call.
A man with a heavy deep voice told Lina, the address, where Lina had to visit, to know more about Wang and his family.
