Upon reaching Marnie’s house, Sergio parked the car by the roadside and stated, “I won’t go upstairs.

Have a good rest and think carefully about what I said.”

Marnie snorted in irritation and exited the car.

Sergio turned the car around and headed to the company.

As he made a right turn at an intersection, a shadow of a figure flashed in front of him. Sergio reacted

quickly, slamming his foot on the brakes.

The woman, still in shock, clutched her phone and fell to the ground.

When she was crossing the road, she dropped her phone. She had bent to pick it up.

However, she noticed a car approaching her before she could straighten back up. She froze like a deer

caught in headlights. The car came to a screeching halt, and she was so stunned and frightened that

she sat on the ground in shock.

Sergio swiftly unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, frowning in concern. Observing the

woman’s pale face, he asked, “Did I hit you?”

The woman nodded her head blankly, momentarily dazed. Then, realizing what he was asking, she

shook her head quickly.

“Did I hit you or not?” Sergio asked.

The woman stood up, tucking her phone back into her pocket, and gingerly covered her aching

stomach. “No.”

“Don’t do such a dangerous thing again.” Sergio gave the woman a stern glance before returning to his

car and driving away.

“Shirley, you really scared me just now.” Shirley’s concerned classmate walked up to Shirley and held

her arm. “Luckily, that man stopped his car in time, or he might have hit you.”

Shirley’s face was still a little pale, her hands trembling slightly.

“I was also scared.”

“It doesn’t matter if the phone broke. You don’t have to risk your life over picking it up. You could have

just let it go.”

“I wasn’t thinking clearly.”

Shirley’s initial reaction was driven by the fear of the cost of replacing her phone with a new one. So

she rushed forward into the road.

Shirley was still shaking from fear. If she had not been that lucky and the car had hit her…

“I’m just glad you’re okay,” her classmate remarked, then changed the topic. “Oh, by the way, did you

notice how handsome that man was?”

At that time, Shirley was so rattled that she did not pay any attention to the man’s appearance. “I didn’t

notice.”

“Fine.” Her classmate joked, “Well, I could tell he’s pretty rich from his car and clothes. You might have

missed an opportunity to pretend you got hit and get some money out of him.”

After a while, her classmate noticed Shirley’s lingering paleness and asked worriedly, “Shirley, are you

feeling okay? Why is your face so pale? Did you actually get hit?”

Shirley reassured her, “No, it’s probably just the shock. I haven’t come to my senses yet.”
