With a resounding slosh, the lake water splashed in all directions from the impact.
"Emani!" Janet was wholly taken aback by the unexpected incident.
The fans and reporters around were all flabbergasted by what they had just witnessed.
"What happened?!"
"Everything was fine a moment ago! What happened?"
Emani screamed and thrashed about in the water as she bellowed for help. "Help! Somebody help! Please! Help me!"
Several of her die-hard fans immediately rushed over and jumped into the lake without a second's hesitation. They managed to grab hold of her by her arms and swim back to shore with her safely in tow.
The crowd surged forward and surrounded them. One of the fans shouted with anxious urgency, "Call an ambulance! Stop! Stop shooting!"
Meanwhile, Laney sneered from the spot where she had remained seated. These people were really making a disproportionate deal of this.
For crying out loud, it was a man-made lake. It was actually very shallow and people really couldn't drown in it. Further, Emani was over 5.5 ft tall. If she stood up, the water may not have been able to submerge her.
However, had been bitterly cold for the last few days. It had snowed a few days ago and the temperature was still around zero degrees Celsius. Because of this, it had really been a traumatic ordeal for Emani.
When Emani's fans took her to the shore, she was soaked to the bone. She was shivering with cold, and her face was pale. Her long, usually voluptuous and curly hair was plastered flat against her face. Her makeup was ruined, and she looked utterly haggard and miserable.
"What happened?" Hearing the noise, Emani's assistant and the other crew members rushed over. The assistant quickly wrapped her with a blanket and asked anxiously, "Miss Gomez, what happened? How did you fall into the lake all of a sudden?"
