Upon overhearing Veronicaâs conversation with the bodyguard, apprehension gripped me.
My anxiety heightened upon learning of Andrewâs possible presence in the study.
Attempts to reach Andrew by phone proved futile.
The fire in the study escalated rapidly.
Failure to extinguish it promptly could lead to a more catastrophic outcome.
Feeling helpless, I grappled with indecision.
Suddenly, a faint noise of something colliding with the studyâs glass caught my attention.
My instincts signaled Andrewâs potential entrapment and plea for help.
I approached Veronica, gesturing towards the studyâs window, and asked, âCan you break the glass? There appears to be someone inside!â
Before Veronica could respond, others also glimpsed a figure behind the glass.
Some female guests witnessed this and gasped in terror.
Moved by compassion for those trapped, they implored Veronica.
âPlease rescue them!â
âGoodness! The desperation of those trapped in the study must be unimaginable!â
âPlease order the window to be broken to rescue them!â
Addy also turned to the window, her expression changing visibly upon seeing the figure inside.
Noticing every change in Addyâs demeanor, I recognized her realization that it was Andrew behind the glass.
Yet Addy seemed more agitated than I was, knowing that if Andrew was in the study, Shirley must be there too.
Normally composed, Addyâs face paled.
Before Veronica could give the command, she directed the bodyguards, âGo break the window and save them immediately!â
The bodyguards wasted no time, approaching the window to find a way to break through.
Anxiety and fear gripped me as I silently prayed for Andrewâs safety.
Fortunately, despite the window being bulletproof, there were specialized tools nearby to ensure its safe breakage.
Soon enough, the window shattered.
Several bodyguards assisted Andrew in escaping through the broken window.
Upon seeing Andrew, my eyes welled up, aching to cry.
His face was not just red but marked with blisters and wounds on his cheeks and hands.
