She was about to shout at him when he put her down and let her stand by herself. Then, he started checking for injuries before she could say anything.

Cedric was a little nervous. “We should take care of your wound first.” Then, he swept her off her feet before she knew what was happening.

“P–Put me down, Cedric. People are watching!”

“What do you mean?”

Maia was stunned to see that the group of people at the staircase had already dispersed. When did they leave? How could she not have heard anything?

Cedric carried her to the stairs and started climbing.

“They should really change to a new set of elevators. It’s safer to use the stairs now.‘
