A Crazy One-night Stand

Everything went smoothly. All three of them worked extremely well together. Mike and Morgan took the measurements, Alina recorded them down.

Initially, Alina only needed to get the measurements around Building G, but since the three of them were on a roll, she decided to complete the measurements of Building C, D, and F as well.

Building G was still under excavation at the moment. In her proposed plan, she had received approval to prepare the garden beds for large-sized plants first. Therefore, she needed to confirm whether the design plan could be carried out accordingly.

"Morgan, Mike! After we are done with Building G, let's continue with Building C, D, and F!" Alina said to the two interns.

"Alright!" Mike and Morgan agreed and continued their work.

They wrapped up Building G and quickly moved on to Building C.

Mike looked up at the suspended tower crane and reminded them again. "Alina, check if your helmet is properly buckled. Although it is rare, there is always a risk of falling hazards from the tower crane. Better to be safe than sorry!"

"Okay!" Alina smiled and carefully tightened the safety helmet on her head.

The three of them soon reached Building C. Mike said, "Alina, you stay here to record the data. Morgan and I will do the measurements!"

"Alright!" Alina spread out the blueprints for her design so Mike and Morgan could have a closer look.

Alina showed them the measurements on the blueprint. Furthermore, she explained to them why the measurements were needed. In this way, the data would be more accurate.

Alina was hungover and her head was still throbbing. She massaged her forehead to ease the pain.

Mike and Morgan had already got to work. From time to time, they would report the measurements to Alina. Although she had a headache, she ignored it and quickly recorded the data.

Alina reviewed the measurements of Building G and decided that they could proceed with her design plan. Later she would need to contact the nursery to start the transplantation of large-sized plants next week. Since it was still autumn, the plants would be able to grow without any risk of wilting after preparing the garden bed with nutrients. When springtime comes around, those plants would be thriving well. By that time, the beautiful and mature landscape would be one of the big selling points for real estate sales.

Besides getting the 200 thousand dollars, Alina could oversee this project on her own without any interference. She felt satisfied and proud. Thinking about that, her headache came back again. Alcohol was really not good for her.

"Alina, the distance between the northern wall and patio is 11 meters, the northern wall is 17 meters from the floating bridge!" Mike reported.

Alina shook her head forcefully, trying to get rid of the dizziness. She looked at Mike apologetically. "Sorry, I was lost in thought. What was the distance between the north wall and patio?"

"It's 11 meters!" Mike replied as he held a measuring tape in his hand, "Alina, you have been too hard on yourself. Did you spend all night drawing? Girls should take it easy!" Suddenly, his expression changed "Alina, get out of the way!" Mike shouted as he rushed towards Alina.

Alina frowned and looked up. To her surprise, she saw several black objects falling from the tower crane at the top of the building.

Alina stood rooted to the spot. Those black objects were hurtling towards her at high speed. She had no time to dodge. "I'm doomed!"

She closed her eyes tightly! The tip of her fingers trembled, almost dropping the pen she was holding.

Alina expected a strong force to hit her head as the object was coming from above. However, someone pushed her away. Her body crashed to the ground, her pens and blueprints were scattered everywhere. Alina realized that Mike had saved her and she quickly opened her eyes. Mike was hurt by the falling object. He was lying unconscious in a pool of blood. Blood was still gushing out from the wound on his head, staining his forehead and lips.

"Mike!" Alina screamed and rushed to him. Her fingers were trembling as she frantically tried to pull out her phone. "Ambulance, I have to call an ambulance!"

However, she could not control her trembling hands. She was unable to take out her phone from her pocket no matter how hard she tried.0000☐☐☐
