As time passed, I felt like I was floating in thin air as my body felt frozen. I knew I was unable to endure it any longer.

Yet, amid such desperation, what appeared in my mind was the image of Michael’s figure. I was puzzled. Every time I encountered trouble in the past, he was the one who helped me. How I wished he would appear right before me and saved me like how he always did.

Nevertheless, Michael would never know that I was trapped inside the washroom, which meant he would not come and save me. At this rate, with the air conditioner’s temperature so low, I really could be dead in here.

 

The frigidness pierced my skin like a thousand needles, and I felt my eyelids getting heavier as I started feeling more groggy. I knew I could no longer pull myself together.

Spending the night in such torture only made it felt like forever. I had no clue how I persisted through the night till the next morning, and neither did I know how I got out of the washroom.

 

By the time I opened my eyelids again, I was already at the hospital, with Michael was standing beside me. He looked down at me with a face filled with worry as he knitted his brows.

“Where is this place? I was locked up in the washroom.”

My throat was parched and my body felt weak and tired.

“So you actually know you were locked inside the washroom? I wonder if there is any woman who is dumber than you?”

After hearing my words, the worry in Michael’s eyes faded immediately. His face turned darker while his tone was full of reproach.

“Someone locked me in there on purpose.”

I stared at him, displeased.

I’m so weak right now, so can’t this guy say something nice and comforting? How dare he calls me dumb? Does he not know he’s the reason why someone in the company is targeting me behind my back?

After hearing my words, Michael was stunned and a hint of fury flashed across his eyes. “You’re saying someone intentionally locked you up inside? Who was it?”
