“Cindy, I know it wasn’t you. I believe you,” said Harmony, playing along with her.
Cindy sniffed. “Miss Mayo, it was my fault no matter what. I should’ve checked the script at the last moment to
ensure it was okay. I’m sorry for the damage done to you because of my negligence.”
Harmony was only less than ten feet from her now. With a few more steps, she could grab Cindy and pull her down.
“It’s okay, Cindy. To be honest, I didn’t suffer any damage tonight. Don’t blame yourself for this. Everyone makes
mistakes.”
Cindy suddenly broke down in tears, her body trembling slightly. “But everyone’s pinning the blame on me and
passing the buck to me. They say it was my fault, like I’m a useless piece of trash.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStanding 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?
“Harmony,” 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 Cindy’s attention. As a means to calm her down, she could
not help but reveal something about herself. “Cindy, do you know who he is? He’s my boyfriend.”
Just as she expected, Cindy, with the heart of a star-struck fan, was hooked. “He’s so good- looking.”
“Yeah. He proposed to me today, and I’m still thinking about whether to accept him. Cindy, do you think I should
marry him?” said Harmony while getting within three feet of Cindy. She did not seem aggressive, like a gentle
breeze blowing into Cindy’s heart.
As a result, Cindy dropped her guard completely. “Are you getting married?” She never thought she could listen to
Harmony’s secret alone.
Harmony replied, “This is a secret; I haven’t made it public yet. He loves me very much, and I love him, too. We…”
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. “No! Don’t save me… Let me die.”
“Don’t die, Cindy! Your death would only make those who did this to you feel more justified.
You don’t have to risk your own life. If you lose your job, you can find another one. But you only live once.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo Harmony’s 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.
Harmony’s 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, “Are you out of your mind? Your life is just as precious as hers.”
It’s 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. “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
