Natalie shook her head and checked her phone again.

‘Should I talk to him about something? Gosh, this silence is embarrassing.Anyway, we often chat online,’ thought Natalie.

She glanced at the LED screen and abandoned the idea.

‘We have reached the fifth floor.I can soon run away from this embarrassing scene.After all, we won’t meet again.”

Just as Natalie was lost in thought, the elevator jerked and stopped. The lights in the elevator went out, and darkness consumed them.

“What happened? Why did the elevator stop?” Natalie anxiously shouted.

The elevator had come to a jerky halt just as she thought she could escape soon.

Natalie was not in the mood to care about Brandon anymore.She reached out to touch the buttons of the elevator.

Just then, she accidentally touched a slender hand.

“Sorry.” She heard Brandon’s resonant voice.

It looked like their hands had collided as the two had reached out to press the buttons.

“It doesn’t matter.I…I just wanted to press the emergency button.”

Frightened, Natalie withdrew her hand.She could feel Brandon’s breath blowing against her.She guessed Brandon was standing right behind her.

After a moment’s pause, Brandon said, “I guess something has been wrong with the circuit ever since the power went off yesterday.”

Then, he pressed all the buttons, including the emergency button.But there was no response.

“What should we do now? Should we call someone?”

Natalie looked at her phone and was about to call for help but stopped on second thought.She thought maybe Brandon could be the one to make the call.

After all, he was the CEO of the Larson Group.

Since he was trapped in the elevator, the staff would take it more seriously and come to their rescue immediately.

“Hmm.” Sebastian turned around, took out his phone, and called someone for help.

He briefed the situation and hung up the phone.
