Coolest Girl in Town

Elise felt helpless as she immediately realized what Owen was trying to do.

Is he trying to be the knight in shining armor who rescues a damsel in distress?

Look at the number of actors he hired to pull this stunt, just so he could be the hero! He spared no expense.

At the same time, the spectating extras swiftly stepped aside when they noticed that the plank was about to fall, clearing a path for Owen.

Elise played along. She pretended to slip and crash to the ground before protecting her head with a look of terror.

As the beam was about to crush her, Owen reached her just in time to shield her from the blow.

Thus, the blazing beam left burns on his arm. Not only was his sleeve singed in the process, but a large patch of his skin was covered in a horrifying wound.

Owen stumbled to the ground as he clasped his injured arm with a look of agony. However, he remained quiet and played the character of a mature, responsible, and trustworthy man to perfection.

"Are you okay?" Elise quickly got up and pretended to be concerned as she checked on him. She also acted as if she finally recognized him. "It's you! What are you doing here, Mr. Morgan?"

"Let's talk later. We need to get out first!" Owen responded with a grim expression.

"Okay."

Elise nodded and helped Owen get back on his feet before heading out.

The corridor which had been stuffed full of people just moments ago was suddenly clear.

Without a doubt, it had to be Owen's doing.

As soon as they came out, Narissa instantly spotted Elise and started waving at her. She was about to call out to Elise when she noticed Owen and clammed up.
