âCindy, I know it wasnât you. I believe you,â said Harmony, playing along with her.
Cindy sniffed. âMiss Mayo, it was my fault no matter what. I shouldâve checked the script at the last moment to ensure it was okay. Iâm sorry for the damage done to you because of my negligence.â
Harmony was only less than ten feet from her now. With a few more steps, she could grab Cindy and pull her down. âItâs okay, Cindy. To be honest, I didnât suffer any damage tonight. Donât blame yourself for this. Everyone makes mistakes.â
Cindy suddenly broke down in tears, her body trembling slightly. âBut everyoneâs pinning the blame on me and passing the buck to me. They say it was my fault, like Iâm a useless piece of trash.â
Standing not far away, Ezekiel instantly clenched his fists, noticing that Harmony was trying to approach the girl in an attempt to yank her down. Is she trying to get herself killed? What if that girl genuinely wants to jump and drags her along with her?
âHarmony,â he called out to her in warning.
She involuntarily turned around, followed by Cindy, who turned to stare at the incredibly handsome man in the light nearby.
At that, it suddenly occurred to Harmony to try to catch Cindyâs attention. As a means to calm her down, she could not help but reveal something about herself. âCindy, do you know who he is? Heâs my boyfriend.â
Just as she expected, Cindy, with the heart of a star-struck fan, was hooked. âHeâs so good- looking.â
âYeah. He proposed to me today, and Iâm still thinking about whether to accept him. Cindy, do you think I should marry him?â said Harmony while getting within three feet of Cindy. She did not seem aggressive, like a gentle breeze blowing into Cindyâs heart.
As a result, Cindy dropped her guard completely. âAre you getting married?â She never thought she could listen to Harmonyâs secret alone.
Harmony replied, âThis is a secret; I havenât made it public yet. He loves me very much, and I love him, too. Weâ¦â Just then, she suddenly took Cindy in her arms, dragging her toward the ground with all her might. Her mind was blank at that moment. She just kept trying to pull Cindy down.
Cindy instinctively struggled for a moment. âNo! Donât save me⦠Let me die.â
âDonât die, Cindy! Your death would only make those who did this to you feel more justified.
You donât have to risk your own life. If you lose your job, you can find another one. But you only live once.â
To Harmonyâs surprise, she did not manage to pull Cindy down. Instead, Cindy seriously wanted to jump and almost dragged her along with her. Luckily, the firefighter who had been hiding nearby immediately rushed over, followed by a tall figure frantically scurrying over to them. The firefighter held onto Cindy while Ezekiel clasped Harmony tightly to his chest as if afraid she might disappear.
Harmonyâs palms were also sweating. Her heart raced, and a layer of cold sweat formed on her forehead. Just then, she heard a hushed voice chiding, âAre you out of your mind? Your life is just as precious as hers.â
Itâs Ezekiel! Such a good-tempered man chided me. Watching Cindy being carried away by the firefighter, she finally felt relieved. She looked up and smiled at the man who had scolded her. âDonât worry. Iâm fine.â
Like hell, youâre fine! You were almost dragged off the building just a moment ago, he thought.
Just then, the deputy director hurried over. To smooth things over, he had no choice but to apologize to Cindy, saying, âCindy, it was my fault for blaming you. I know what I said earlier was too harsh on you.
Please donât take it to heart. We wonât blame you for this matter, okay?â
Standing behind the crowd, Ruby started to panic when she saw Cindy being rescued. If Cindy survives, this matter will surely be investigated.
At that moment, Cindyâs parents also rushed over, embracing her while bursting into sobs. Realizing how her impulsive actions had hurt those who cared about her, she hugged her parents and cried as well.
The perilous situation was resolved just like that. However, just when Harmony was about to leave, she suddenly realized one thing-she was weak at the knees.
