"Oh... don't overthink it," Heather shrugged, smiling, "I just figured if my boss died in there, who would pay me? I haven't even received this month's salary. Wouldn't it be for nothing?"
Is money more important than life?
Of course not.
If he really died in there and no one paid her, at most she would complain a bit, vent a bit, but with respect for the deceased, it's not like she would go demand her salary.
She saved him, definitely not for the money.
Actually, at that moment she didn't think that much. Knowing Nian Shen was still inside, her first reaction was to go in and rescue him, no matter the consequences.
Perhaps she thought the previous events laid the groundwork, or perhaps it was that dream, subconsciously she didn't allow anything to happen to Nian Shen, so her body reacted faster than her mind, and she rushed in.
Nian Shen chuckled lightly, clearly not believing her.
