Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 72

Matthew was already waiting for Elise at the entrance the moment school knocked off for the day. He had done so until she showed up at the gates. Then, he alighted from his car and walked toward her. “Give me your bag.”

She obliged, to which he took her bag while he held the car door open for her. Once they were inside the car, he started the engines and cruised down the street.

Then, he initiated the conversation. “How was school today?”

“Good,” she monotonously replied, “Everything’s fine.”

Matthew shot a glance at her through the rearview mirror in the silence. When they arrived home, he parked the car in the underground garage and they left for the elevator together. Much to their dismay, the lights in the elevator suddenly blinked before it turned off and plunged them into darkness.

A panicked Elise asked, “What’s the problem?” As she spoke, she reflexively reached out to bang on the elevator doors.

Matthew quickly comforted her, “It could be a technical error. I’ll make a call now to the servants.”

While he comforted her, he fished out his phone only to realize that there was no line. He also hadn’t noticed that Elise was suffering from a full-blown panic attack as sweat beads formed across her forehead while her body trembled violently.

Elise’s breathing was erratic and her body went limp a second later, after which she collapsed to the floor. When Matthew saw this happening, he asked in worry, “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

What answered him was her chattering teeth, which he found to be rather odd. “Are you… claustrophobic?”

At that moment, she could not hear what he was saying. Even though she was taking deep breaths, she felt that her brain had gone numb. It was only at this time when he realized that the situation was grave. Without any hesitation, he banged on the doors and yelled to anyone who happened to be outside. Soon, the servants hurried over, but they couldn’t help much except to call the technician.
