“Mr.Larson? We’re going to force the elevator door open.Please take a few steps back and make sure no one’s near the door.” Someone’s voice came from outside the elevator.

Brandon replied to acknowledge him and obediently retreated to a corner.

More chaos ensued outside, as though the maintenance personnel were prying the elevator door open with some tools.

Some time passed, but there seemed to be no progress.Just then, the elevator shook violently.

“Ah!” Natalie shrieked, her heart dropping to her stomach.

The elevator’s sudden movement made her lose her balance.

Just as she felt as though she was going to hit the ground, a powerful pair of arms caught her in the darkness.

With a low grunt, Brandon pulled her up and held her close.

Natalie’s back was pressed against the wall, while Brandon’s body was pressed against hers.He lowered his head until his lips brushed against her ear.

Natalie could feel his breath sweeping across her bare skin.

Despite him saving her, Brandon’s act made Natalie even more anxious than the shaking of the elevator.She immediately tried to shake him off.

“Mr.Larson, please let go of me.I can stand on my own feet.”

She was so panic-stricken that she tried to push Brandon away, but then the elevator shook even more violently all of a sudden.

“Don’t move!” Brandon barked, grabbing her shoulder forcefully.

His low voice was strong yet steady, and it had the power to snap people back to their senses.

Natalie managed to calm down somewhat, at least enough to gather her bearings.She was still very nervous, and her heart pounded against her chest uncontrollably.She just hated being touched by men.
