Chapter 330
It was hot.
Dominic actually slept quite comfortably, but suddenly he dreamed he was in a scorching desert under a blazing sun, drenched
in sweat.
It was unbearable. He was jolted awake.
After a brief moment of confusion, his expression changed instantly. It was too hot, exactly like in the dream.
Something was wrong.
Dominic immediately got out of bed. The moment he opened the door to the rest room, thick smoke poured into the office, making him cough violently.
There was a fire outside!
Almost instantly, Dominic understood what was happening, and his heart began pounding hard.
He sprinted to the office door. Just as he touched the doorknob, the searing heat made him instinctively pull his hand back.
Without hesitation, he rushed into the bathroom behind the restroom and turned on the faucet, soaking his entire body.
Then he glanced out the window. After a brief hesitation, he still didn’t choose to escape that way.
This was the 12th floor. If he fell, only a superhero could survive.
Dominic returned to the office door again, took a deep breath, and lifted his leg for a brutal kick.
In a fire, door locks usually deformed and couldn’t be opened. Dominic didn’t even try. He went straight for brute force.
His strength and stamina were impressive, but the solid wooden door was sturdy. It only shook slightly with each kick.
He didn’t stop and kept kicking.
After about half a minute, the wooden door was finally kicked open.
In that instant, tongues of fire surged in, forcing Dominic to retreat two steps.
When he saw the scene outside, his face turned extremely grim.
Flames and thick smoke had completely engulfed the entire office area.
But there was no time to hesitate. He clenched his teeth, covered his mouth and nose, and charged forward.
Flames weren’t the most terrifying part. In a fire, the deadliest thing was the black smoke.
The fire burned mercilessly, igniting everything in the office area. Burning debris kept falling from the ceiling.
Dominic knew he couldn’t last long under these conditions, so he could only run for his life.
His office was about 300 feet from the company exit, not very far. With his physical condition, making a dash shouldn’t be a problem.
But saying it was easy didn’t make it so. The moment he rushed into the fire, he felt searing pain.
Dominic didn’t care anymore and broke into a run toward the exit.
Just then, a weak voice made Dominic’s expression change drastically. “Is anyone there? Help p>
It was Jewel. Her office wasn’t far from his.

He hadn’t expected that she would also be trapped in the company.
Without time to think, Dominic turned back decisively, ran to Jewel’s office door, and shouted, “Step back p>
“Dominic? Is that really you?” Jewel shouted in disbelief.
His response was a vicious kick.
Perhaps because the door had already been burned by the fire and wasn’t very sturdy, Dominic kicked it open with ease.
Jewel was crouched in the corner, her face smeared with soot. When she saw him, it was like a ray of light in utter despair.
Dominic felt dizzy, and burns covered his body. He quickly grabbed Jewel’s hand to run. “Move p>
She gritted her teeth and forced herself to keep up.
The flames raged wildly, terrifying beyond measure.
Dominic dragged Jewel out through the inferno. His body was on fire in several places, a horrifying sight.
With him shielding the way, she was slightly better off.
But when they reached the company entrance and saw the heavy lock outside through the glass door, their faces changed completely.
“Who locked the door? I specifically said I’d lock up tonight!” Jewel screamed.
