Chapter 153 Alex on the rescue
Alex's eyes widened in panic as he saw the bucket slipping from the worker's grasp. Without a second thought, he sprinted towards Claire, shouting, "Watch out!"
Claire, slightly confused, noticed Alex's gaze fixed on something above her. She looked up, and her eyes widened in horror. A few meters above her, the bucket was plummeting straight toward her head.
Instinctively, Alex lunged at Claire, pushing her out of the way. They rolled on the ground, with Alex skillfully shielding Claire from the impact with his body. Onlookers outside, their faces filled with panic, watched the scene unfold like an action movie, praying the accident wouldn't turn tragic.
The bucket collided with the floor from a great height, shattering upon impact. It was filled with paint, which splattered everywhere. Alex couldn't believe the close call. If the bucket had hit Claire, it could have been disastrous. He looked down at her, concern etched on his face.
"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice urgent.
Claire, her breathing rapidly, nodded her head. "I'm fine," she said, still in shock.
Alex stood up first and then extended his hands to Claire. She took them, and he pulled her up gently. Once she was steady on her feet, they realized they were still holding hands. They quickly pulled away, both feeling a bit awkward. Claire cleared her throat. "Thank you, Alex."
Before Alex could respond, the worker who had dropped the bucket approached them, his head hung low in guilt.
"I'm so sorry, Ms. Peterson." he said, his voice trembling. "I was not careful enough."
Alex's eyes flashed with anger. He was about to scold the worker, maybe even fire him, but Claire spoke first, her tone professional and firm." It is okay," she said, looking the worker in the eyes. "Just be more careful next time." The worker nodded, relief flooding his face. "I will. Thank you, Ms. Peterson."
Alex, still simmering with anger, took a deep breath. "You need to ensure this doesn't happen again," he said sternly.
"I promise it will not happened again, sir." the worker said, backing away.
