There wasn't so much work to do in the company today, so Sherman decided to go to the construction site.
Billy came to Sherman's company again, but she didn't even want to talk to him. Billy did not give up and drove after her.
It was at lunchtime when Sherman arrived at the construction site. Most workers were having box lunches while a few workers were still working high above the ground.
Sherman also squatted there, having a box lunch. Billy frowned slightly and he did not eat.
On cold winter days, the food would get cold quickly. Seeing several people still working high above the ground, Sherman asked them to get down to have lunch first.
They didn't have other choices. If they came down late, they could only eat box meals which had got cold. No one would bother to heat the meals for them again.
Putting down the box lunch, Sherman walked over and stood below the building. Billy went over too and stood beside Sherman. Sherman bends over to look at the construction materials.
"Look!" A fellow in the crowd screamed suddenly.
Sherman raised her head instinctively. Following the gaze of the crowd, Sherman looked up. Then she saw that high in the air, something was wrong with the scaffolding and it was shaking, which caused the worker to fall. It was eighteen-story high!
No one would survive the fall!
Sherman was short of breath, with her mind going completely blank. About three seconds later, coming back to her senses, Sherman took out her phone from her bag, gasping. She told other workers to fetch the air cushion while calling 911, her hands shaking.
The man who was plunging in the air looked like a black spot. It seemed that he was very scared and desperate. He was struggling hard in the air.
That sight was far too shocking. Sherman was trembling with her body chilled all over when calling 911. Sherman staggered forward, semiconscious.
She did not pay attention to the bricks under her feet. With a stiff body and a blank mind, Sherman stepped o n the bricks. Tripped by them, Sherman leaned forward and was about to fall.
In front of her, there were bricks and wires. If Sherman fell on them, her whole face would be seriously injured, and the worse scenario was that she might lose her life.
