"Oh... donāt overthink it," Heather shrugged, smiling, "I just figured if my boss died in there, who would pay me? I havenāt even received this monthās salary. Wouldnāt it be for nothing?"
Is money more important than life?
Of course not.
If he really died in there and no one paid her, at most she would complain a bit, vent a bit, but with respect for the deceased, itās not like she would go demand her salary.
She saved him, definitely not for the money.
Actually, at that moment she didnāt think that much. Knowing Nian Shen was still inside, her first reaction was to go in and rescue him, no matter the consequences.
Perhaps she thought the previous events laid the groundwork, or perhaps it was that dream, subconsciously she didnāt allow anything to happen to Nian Shen, so her body reacted faster than her mind, and she rushed in.
Nian Shen chuckled lightly, clearly not believing her.
"So why did you go in to save me, Mr. Nian? Youāre the one without any reason or stance," Heather chuckled, "Anyway, if a bodyguard is gone, you can find another one. Why take the risk?"
"Well... I think a bodyguard like you canāt be found again in the world, so if I let you die in there, Iād find it quite regrettable."
"A bodyguard like me? What kind of bodyguard?"
"Pretty, skilled, with a good personality."
"Pfft..." Those were compliments, but somehow they sounded strange in her ears. "Turns out Iām that good in Mr. Nianās eyes."
Yi Yang knocked on the door to remind them, then entered after a few seconds, saying, "Mr. Nian, the director and Miss Qu are waiting outside. Do you want to see them?"
"Iām tired." Nian Shenās voice was not very loud, but still reached outside, where the director and Qu Leqi heard it.
When they arrived, they first visited Heather, and knowing she had gone to see Nian Shen, they figured she was inside. But to them, three words: Heās tired?
The director didnāt think much of it, suspecting Nian Shen might blame them entirely for this accident, accepting that he might be angry.
But Qu Leqi didnāt see it that way, especially with the director and Yi Yang there, getting the cold shoulder. Her expression became slightly unpleasant.
"Why not just see them?" Heatherās voice came from inside, "I think the director brought the investigation results, right? I also want to hear what this āaccidentā was actually about."
How did the wire suddenly break?
If she hadnāt foreseen it, if her sixth sense hadnāt told her how to react, falling from the third floor to the ground would have been tough.
Thereās a chance she might not have died, but likely would have been severely injured, with the chances of being unharmed quite slim.
"I really want to know, who did I provoke, with one wanting me dead and another wanting me dead too?" Speaking of this, Heather laughed self-mockingly.
This kind of situation, she hadnāt heard of since she was Xiao Man.
Ah Nianās people, those opposing Ah Nian, people in the entertainment circle, too many... too many...
"Come in." Nian Shen said.
They were surprisingly allowed to enter thanks to Heather, which was hard to bear, but what else could be done? They had to endure!
Qu Leqi acted as if nothing had happened, smiling, she said, "Mr. Nian, itās so great that youāre okay. Hearing about your accident really scared me."
Heather thought, heard?
