Chapter 990

Leslie kept trying to find a topic to talk to him about but was shut down each time by his frown.

Finally, she gave up and just settled on staring at him.

He looked even more handsome as he concentrated on his work.

Leslie, at this point, was quite obsessed with him.

She even hoped the elevator would go a little slower.

When the elevator got to the 46th floor, the lights flashed twice.

Just as Leslie was wondering what that was, the elevator suddenly stopped.

The elevator shook violently.

Leslie held onto the handle behind her to keep from falling as she said in a scared voice, “What’s happening, Matthew?”

As she spoke, she let go of the handle, trying to use the opportunity to throw herself into Matthew’s arms.

However, before she could do so, Matthew stopped her.

In a serious tone, Matthew warned, “Don’t move.

This elevator is going to fall, and we would die!”

Leslie was frightened by this.

She stood as still as she could, hands clenched tightly at the handle.

“What do we do, Matthew?”

Matthew pressed the bell for help.

However, no sound came from the other end of the line, only noise.

He took out his phone but got no signal.

The light in the elevator suddenly went out, plunging them into darkness.

“Ah! What do we do?” Leslie screamed in panic.

Frowning, Matthew said, “Don’t panic and don’t move.

”

He said this to comfort Leslie.

However, he too was scared.

Matthew knew quite well that if he remained in this confined space for much longer, his illness would return.

In the darkness, he pressed each button in the elevator from the top to the bottom.

However, it was useless.

There was nothing they could do but wait for someone to rescue them.

Matthew and Leslie stood still in the elevator.

Soon, he began to feel his throat closing up.

He couldn’t help loosening his tie.

The air conditioner in the elevator had stopped working when the elevator lost power.

The elevator was quiet, and even the sound from outside couldn’t penetrate.

Due to her senses being heightened by this silence, Leslie could hear the man beside her wheeze as though he were short of breath.

She turned on the flashlight on her phone and asked softly, “Matthew, are you okay?”

Matthew didn’t want her to know about his personal business.

He tried to steady his breathing and said slowly, “I’m fine.
