A fire alarm was a big deal.
Given Mason Crawford's status, even if he didn't want to move, countless people, concerned for his safety, would urge him to leave.
Summer Thorne, on the other hand, wasn't in a hurry to leave, but unfortunately, it seemed Mason Crawford wasn't about to let her off the hook so easily.
So Mason Crawford grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her all the way down the stairs to the ground floor.
Because of the banquet today, a large crowd of people evacuated from upstairs had already gathered outdoors.
At first, everyone was just looking around, trying to find out where the fire was and what had caused it. Soon enough, however, nearly every eye in the place fell on Mason Crawford and Summer Thorne, whom he was dragging downstairs.
It couldn't be helped. Mason Crawford was just too conspicuous, and with all the history between him and Summer Thorne, it was hard for people not to stare.
