"Ah..."
There were countless screams and cries of astonishment in the scene.
Dominic heard something amiss and turned his head to take a look, instantly his face changed drastically.
He instinctively reached out to grab Selena, and Leah standing beside him suddenly stumbled and fell into his arms.
Just as Selena fell, Dominic had his hand outstretched and ready to catch her. But a moment's delay cost him the chance to hold onto Selena, and he could only watch as she fell.
At the moment when Selena was tripped, she quickly raised her hand and grabbed the nearby handrail, but at the same time, the elevator under her feet suddenly malfunctioned and all the steps disappeared in an instant, operating at a speed beyond normal.
Selena didn't have a chance to steady herself before slipping again, her slender body tumbling straight down from above.
"Lady Selena!" came Leia's angry shout from nearby.
Countless people on the scene covered their eyes and let out screams of terror, not daring to watch what would happen next.
There was a hint of ferocity in Selena's eyes, and she suddenly closed them, waiting for the onset of intense pain.
As she was about to fall heavily to the ground, a pair of unexpectedly long and slender arms suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her into their embrace.
"Bang"...
She flung herself into a warm, strong embrace.
Selena's eyes were tightly closed, her slender body trembling slightly, and her face pale.
After a long time, she didn't experience the expected pain, and suddenly, for some reason, there was not a sound around her.
Selena's long eyelashes trembled, but she still didn't dare to open her eyes.
She is most afraid of pain.
When it hurts, she can't help but cry.
In the midst of a silent stillness, a sigh suddenly came from above.
Selena's heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable tremor pierced her soul, startling her so much that she couldn't help but shudder.
What kind of feeling is this?
A long and cold hand fell on her head and comfortingly rubbed it, followed by a gentle voice that sounded like a heavenly melody, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
With a flutter of her long lashes, Selena suddenly opened her eyes when she realized she had been rescued.
Suddenly, she stood still in the same spot.
She suddenly came face to face with a pair of eyes so close and deep that it made her heart skip a beat. The chilling gaze was fixed on her, unblinking and sinister.
For a moment, Selena thought she saw Osvaldo.
But the next second, she negated it again.
Although Osvaldo appears cold, he has warmth inside him, and he is a gentle gentleman with a naturally good nature.
But the man's gaze was as if it were made of inorganic ice, looking at people just as one looks at ants on the roadside.
It was not Osvaldo.
After Selena's momentary distraction, she noticed that they were too close together and immediately retreated from his embrace, taking several steps back.
The man's gaze suddenly turned cold, and his slender and eerie hand moved as if he wanted to grab her back. However, he suddenly seemed to think of something and stopped himself.
Just stood in place, staring at her with a gaze that seemed both scorching hot and icy cold.
After retreating to a safe distance, Selena finally got a clear look at the man's appearance.
She couldn't control a stunning exclamation of admiration.
Despite wearing a solid black mask on his face, every line on his body exudes a captivating and enchanting charm, and his aura is indescribably eerie and sinister.
Just like a cold and beautiful piece of art, it has obtained vitality.
There is hardly anyone in the world who looks better than Osvaldo.
It's just the temperament of two men that are too different. Otherwise, she would almost doubt...
Selena furrowed her brow and smiled, "Thank you for saving me."
The man paused for a moment, his voice sounding deliberate and slightly low-pitched, "No need."
He finished speaking and took steps toward her.
Selena was stunned for a moment, and for some unknown reason, a sudden sense of nervousness rose in her heart. She involuntarily showed a guard expression on her face and subconsciously took a few steps back.
The man's footsteps paused briefly, almost imperceptibly, before quickly resuming as if nothing had happened.
He walked over to where Selena had been standing just moments ago, bent down slightly, and picked something up from the ground.
Selena was startled when she saw the object that the other person had picked up from the ground, and her eyes widened slightly.
That's--
The thornbirds she painted.
It should have accidentally fallen off when she was saved earlier.
This man is?
Selena pointed at the painting with a strange expression and asked, "Sir, is this... yours?"
The man picked up the painting and neatly saved it with his slender, fair fingers. Only then did he say to Selena, "It is from a neighbor."
Selena blinked and then heard he add, "I really like it." In his words, there seemed to be a sense of appreciation.
Selena smiled unconsciously.
The man glanced at her and then turned around to leave the mall.
After he left, the people around gradually came to their senses.
"Oh my. That man just now is so..."
So handsome?
So beautiful?
None of it seems appropriate.
"My heart almost jumped out of my chest just now. I don't know if I was scared or aroused by the man's breath."
"Does anyone know who that man was just now?"
"I don't know, but the fact that he saved this beautiful lady shows that he is not only good-looking but also has an excellent character."
After the man left, Leia quickly rushed to Selena and almost turned into a silly cat, "Miss Selena, are you okay?"
Selena shook her head as she looked at the sweaty appearance of Mia, saying, "It's fine."
Leia let out a deep sigh.
Luckily!
If Selena really had a serious accident today, her young master would be furious with her.
After the initial shock, a hint of coldness appeared in Selena's eyes, and she turned her head to stare straight at where Dominic and his two companions were.
Dominic and his group were startled by the icy and cold killing intent in her eyes.
Leah hung her head and felt deep regret. Damn Selena, why was she always so lucky?
Angie was both angry and anxious. She remembered the man who saved Selena just now, and her heart was filled with jealousy. She was about to speak when she was slapped heavily in the face.
Angie stood in shock, covering her face as she looked at Dominic with disbelief. Tears streamed down her face as she said, "Brother, you hit me..."
Dominic has never been willing to hit her, but today he hit her for Selena.
Angie hates Selena to death.
Dominic gave her a cold look and clenched his fist, obviously extremely angry. He roared angrily, "Do you know it could be fatal?"
He used to think that Angie was a bit spoiled, but ultimately a good person. However, from what happened today, he realized that she was actually malicious.
Angie nervously cringed her neck, but when she saw Selena walking towards her, she immediately regained her confidence and said, "She's fine, isn't she? She's standing there unharmed. Why did you hit me for her?"
