Moved, Nikki flung herself into Kendrick's arms right in front of me, crying pitifully, "Why does it matter how good you are to me? I'm about to marry Elliot!"
"It's useful! You can break off your engagement with him right now! I'll marry you!" Kendrick's eyes were bloodshot with excitement and he didn't even bother to wipe the blood at the corner of his mouth.
I couldn't bear to watch anymore. I got up and walked outside to get some air. The private room was on the second floor of the bar, with a small door leading to an outdoor terrace.
Standing on the terrace, I looked down at the dazzling streetlights, feeling momentarily lost. As I was in a daze, a figure suddenly charged out of the bar and slammed into me. It was Nikki.
"Maya, you wretched woman! Why does Kendrick care so much about you?" she shouted.
Startled, I instinctively stepped aside. Nikki screamed and fell straight down the stairs.
Hearing the commotion, Kendrick rushed out. When he saw Nikki lying on the ground, her condition unknown, he roared at me, "Maya, you murderer! I won't let you off!"
Ignoring me, he ran downstairs to save Nikki. By the time Nikki woke up in the hospital, I was still processing what had happened.
