Chapter 268
"Why didn't | notice you worked so hard before?" Dexter joked, enjoying a delicious dessert in the hospital.
While he remained relaxed, Angela was overwhelmed by anxiety. With just five days until the deadline, they had
only managed to complete 60% of the production.
"I never really had the opportunity to be busy before," Angela replied casually, setting her phone aside. She then
rubbed her face hard, trying to dispel the fatigue that lingered.
She felt unusually irritable and uneasy today, as though something was about to happen. Ultimately, she
attributed it to the uncomfortable hospital bed.
Outside the window, a gentle night breeze blew, making the curtains dance around. Angela awoke to her racing
thoughts and sat up in bed. Just then, her phone rang.
It was Clara calling. "Ms. Graham, our factory is on fire."
The simple sentence shocked Angela, leaving her numb. "What's going on?"
As soon as she posed the question, she tossed aside the quilt and instantly got out of bed. Slipping on her shoes,
she hurried out without uttering a single word. She headed straight to the suburban factory.
Upon arrival, she found the factory engulfed in flames, filled with a terrible smell and cries for help. The chaos
was palpable.
In that pivotal moment, someone recklessly shouted, "Run!" It threw the rescue efforts into disarray.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe factory was modest in size. Yet, there was a warehouse next to it. It was filled with an array of leather bags
that had been produced but remained unsent, alongside an abundance of flammable paper boxes.
When Angela arrived, it was so chaotic that no one noticed her presence. Observing the unfolding situation, a
single thought dominated her mind—she had to save them and make sure there were no casualties.
She believed that as long as no one was hurt, it didn't really matter if she failed to deliver MK Corporation's order
on time.
"Where's the factory manager? Where is he?" Angela shouted, her voice trembling with emotion.
At last, someone noticed her and responded anxiously, "Mr. Connor Watson is missing. Only Mr. Hugo Lane is
assisting the firefighters in putting out the fire."
Angela turned to see a short, chubby man outside the warehouse, struggling to extinguish a fire with a fire
extinguisher.
She walked over. "Hugo, please ensure that our team evacuates in an orderly manner and doesn't interfere with
the firefighters as they work to extinguish the blaze."
Hugo, the deputy factory manager, appeared somewhat comical with soot covering his face. Upon hearing
Angela's voice, he snapped back to reality, nodded in acknowledgment, and began to take charge.
The chaos at the scene gradually calmed down. Angela took a moment to check with the firefighters about any
casualties.
