Back at Anya’s office, it was a hot mess. And literally.
It happened when the printer in Anya’s office suddenly overheated. The people in Anya’s studio were all girls, and they immediately panicked without knowing what to do.
Anya’s assistant brought water the pour it to the printer, but suddenly the fire grew! An open electricity was caught and it immediately ablazed.
The girls could only back off while coughing.
But Anya’s heart was scrunching. The fire was getting bigger, and if it us not put out, her entire studio would be eaten by the flame.
When Damon called, Anya was in such a situation, so she could only say one word.
The phone hanged up and Anya tossed it aside. She immediately tried to think of a solution.
She took a cloth and soaked it in water. After that, she planned to cover it to the flames. The assistants saw her and immediately felt nervous.
“Miss! What are you going to do?!” The girls tried to stop Anya. “The fire is so big, you will get caught with it!”
Anya heard her assistants but she was resolute.
“I should do something, or else the fire will only get bigger!” She said as she got out of their hold.
Anya felt fear when about what she was planning, but still she dashed towards it. But suddenly, a strong force pulled her out.
“What the hell are you planning to do?!” Damon angrily said at Anya.
When Damon received the call, his heart dropped and immediately left all his work and headed to Anya’s studio.
When he arrived, he was scared to death. He just saw Anya dashing to the fire. He did not think twice and pulled her away.
He immediately scolded her. His heart nearly stopped as he saw Anya running to danger head on.
This woman would really be the death of him!
After he pulled Anya, he immediately tended to the fire.
He took his suit and the cloth Anya had and soaked them in water. Then he too, head on went to the flame to put out the fire.
The three girls were watching with wide eyes as they saw the boss soak his luxurious and expensive suit and tossed it to the flames!
Damon kept patting the flames until it was put out. Anya immediately went to him.
“Damon! Are you okay?!” She worriedly asked as she surveyed his body.
Damon turned to the woman and saw her clear worried eyes. She was panickily held his body in search for wounds.
He was just battling a fire a moment ago, but there was a smile on his face.
For him to see her worried face and feel her care, Damon did not mind the burns he just accumulated.
Anya saw there were burns in Damon’s arms and her heart sank. He looked up at him.
“You need to go to the hospital!” She anxiously said with her pools in her eyes. Damon chuckled.
“These are just small wounds. People would laugh at a grown man going to hospital with such trivial burns,” He said with a light voice.
“Damon” Anya reprimanded as she saw his uncaring attitude. “I’m fine. I’ll treat myself, don’t worry.” Damon assured her.
“How could I!” Anya sighed as she pulled him towards their brake room.
If he doesn’t want to be treated, then she’ll treat him herself. In that way, she could be at ease even just a little bit.
“Stay here! We don’t have first aid right now; we’ll just quickly buy it. Don’t move!” She ordered Damon. When she settled him properly at the couch, she remined him again and hurried out to buy medicine.
Seeing Anya being a busy body because of him, there was tickle in his heart. his eyes held a smile as he stared at Anya’s receding back.
When she left, Damon was alone in the room. The quiet and serene atmosphere was completely different from the havoc a while ago. And it was only this moment that the exhaustion and sting from Damon’s burns kicked in,
He was really tired, so he leaned back to the sofa. And Damon could not help but drowse to sleep.
When Anya came back from buying the medicines, she was met by a sleeping Damon in the sofa.
Anya’s heart felt hurt when he saw the large man, sleeping in the small sofa.
He was really tired. He just stopped a fire not long ago. The firemen came just now, and she left her assistant to handle them.
She went to Damon and saw his serene face. The man’s features were exquisite, his countenance held elegance and nobility.
Anya couldn’t help but sigh. He was really handsome. And as she watched his sleeping face, calm and lightly sleeping, she felt he was not that scary. When he is awake, his expression was cold and strict, but surprisingly, when he is sleeping, his face was quite innocent and bright.
She smiled. This man is really trying to tear down the walls of her heart.
He looks like a ruthless and tyrannical boss, but deep down, he has a warm heart. she could see it from the way he treats his son, and how he treats her.
He was a big man, someone who is way up high. But he stooped low and saved her today. He mindlessly took off his coat to put out the fire.
Not only today, but Anya had felt his care countless of time. He was her savior, until today. Vella was not able to weigh it a while ago because of the messiness of the situation, but when he called, there was relief and hope that surged in her heart.
She badly wanted to ask him for help, to cry and tell him she was afraid.
She was shaking that time, she was so afraid and she didn’t want to move. But she needed to do something. It was always like this in her life. She had been in every tight situation she could be since she was young. Her life was always in a tight situation. But she always felt she didn’t have the right to fear, the right to give up, the right to fall.
Because no one will save her.
But that time, when she received his call, she badly wanted to take shelter. To find an abode. To scream and cry for him to save and help her.
And that person was Damon.
Anya felt very problematic. Because if he keeps being this way, she might not be able to push him away anymore. She felt her conviction gradually weakening. And the walls she had tried so hard to build was once again cracking.
Anya felt scared.
Please.
She called a helpless cry. Stop.
Don’t break down my walls. Don’t make me fall in love with you. Because I am very close to falling.
