"Alfred?" 

Ella exclaimed loudly, making the man who was carrying her bring up a small smile that seemed confused by Ella's reaction.

"Shouldn't you...  said thanked you?" Alfred teased.

Ella immediately got off Alfred's arms, while Barnard looked on with relief that Ella still looked alive and not crippled.

"Almost earlier, you shouldn't have to climb that high," said Alfred, who was still holding Ella's waist.

"Thanks, Alfred," Ella replied awkwardly.

"Ella you have to be careful. Luckily that guy caught you in time," said Barnard who started walking and returned to the cashier area.

"Alfred, can you let go of my waist," Ella glanced at Alfred's hand that was still on her waist.

"Ahh, I'm sorry Ella," Alfred replied smiling.

"Thanks for your help just now, I might have gone to the hospital if you didn't catch me earlier," Ella said while tidying up some books that were lying on the floor.
