Chapter 187: Being the victim again

I hear you, stand-in, for an actress? Seriously, if you want to perform, ask me, I can give you the role of a passer-by, or at least for the sake of showing your face.

Katriel's obvious mock made Elly stops. She glanced lightly, turned around, and walked towards the elevator.

It's just a trapped toy, arrogant! Katriel did not stop and continued to spit on her.

The elevator door slowly closed, and Elly blinked and did not look at Katriel standing outside. So, she could not catch her insidious smile.

Katriel glanced at the dustbin next to the elevator and saw the sign of the maintenance tools.

Standing in the elevator, Elly thought of Brandon's reproach and intense anxiety. Unconsciously, she stands beside him and felt the warmness.

The lights in the elevator suddenly went out, everything in front of her was dark, and Elly exclaimed unconsciously, backed back against the cold elevator wall. Her legs tremble, and she has experienced the feeling of being on the verge of death, which is still fresh in her memory. That makes her feel more worried and scared. A dull mind can only think of weird things. There are too many fatal accidents related to being trapped in an elevator.

I can't. We need to calm down. Elly shook her head and whispered to herself, trying to calm down. She rang the emergency bell in the elevator.

She had been trapped in an elevator with Brandon. She was locked up, and the more she was stuck in the elevator, the more she will have difficulties in breathing.

The ringtone of her cell phone suddenly rings in silence, and she was so scared that she will fall off. She crouched on the ground and grabbed the phone and quickly pressed the answer button. "I'm locked in the elevator."

As soon as she got through to the phone, he heard Elly's crying voice, coupled with the news that she was trapped in the elevator. Alex picked up Elly, and he got up quickly and instinctively rushed out of the office.

"Please don't be afraid. Now lean against the wall, sit down, and don't move. I will contact your company immediately." In a hurry, but in a steady tone, Alex's fear increased massively.

At one point in time, there were no responses from her. He kept calling her name, yet still did not have any reactions. He knew his phone had lost its signal and cursed in a low voice. Damn!

It's a 30-minute drive from Alex's company to the Swiss company.

Under the gaze of all the senior staff in the entry, Alex ran into the elevator and called Linda Peart, who has a creepy look of the commander-in-chief.

"Go to find Elly. She was trapped in the elevator."

As soon as he finished, the elevator opened, and Brandon came out. Seeing that he was in an unstable mood, he came forward to ask. "What happened? Why is your face so grey?"

Alex had no time to explain. He pushed Brandon rudely, rushed into the elevator, and frantically pressed the button downstairs.

Watching the cold elevator door close, thinking of Alex's anxious appearance, Brandon guessed that it had something to do with Elly, and his heart became overwhelmed.

Adding on to the mess, Miss Emily walked up to him with a touch of sarcasm. The only person who can get him off the hook is that stupid Elly.

Mr. Gillian was alert at first sight. Yes, as I guessed, she didn't lose her memory.

Brandon turned and laughed. Mr. Gillian is joking.

He was not innocent and asked with a frown. Aren't you afraid that Alex knows this lie?

Miss Emily's smile grew wider. As though she is not afraid that he's betrayed.

Brandon was frightened and watched helplessly at the guilt of his conscience, but soon returned to normal. I can't understand what you mean.

Miss Emily did not expose Brandon and shrugged to remind him with an alert.

Watching her figure leave, Brandon frowned. What did Miss Emily found? He kept things in order and never told the third person. How did she know?

Alex passes by a lot of red lights on his way to Elly, and his hanging heart made him keep stepping on the accelerator and speeding up.

In the elevator, the humid space in the dark frightened Elly. Her cell phone ran out of power, and she had to squat and wriggle. Due to that, her breathing became terrible, and she had an anxiety attack. Stress almost kill her at once. The focus of being trapped in the machinery created panic in her heart to the greatest extent.

Between ambiguity and despair, she heard the call in the distance, and it appears very close. "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. I'm outside, right next to you. We'll save you right away."

Is this her hallucination? Does fear cause hallucinations? But why is Linda Peart's voice so real?

Hooray! Can you hear me?

Linda Peart's voice sounded again, and Elly was glad to know that it was not a dream.

She was trembling all over. I can hear your voice.

Hearing the noise coming out of the elevator, she knew that everyone was trying to save her and gave her hope.

The next second, the sound of a heavy gasp was the reason for calming her heart.

"I'm here. You're going to be OK."

Just a few words, but enough to make people feel at ease.

Watching Alex holding his knee out of breath, his eyes clinging to the elevator, Linda Peart moved and jealous. She envied his feelings for Elly, and she hoped that someone would love her just like him.

Even Elly herself did not expect that Alex was a person full of positivity. His words were enough to reassure her that she could get out of the elevator safely.

She curled up quietly waiting for the elevator repairman, no longer as frightened as she had been.

With a few minutes, the heavy elevator door opened. Elly could not hold it any longer. She fell to the ground with a sigh of relief.

Alex rushed in first and quickly carried her out.

Alex blamed himself and trembled when he saw that Elly was pale and could not protect her. She tried to pull a comforting smile with an imbalanced voice. I'm fine. You and Linda Peart came quickly to rescue me.

Once again standing on the brink of death, despair did not last, but her thoughts were thoughtful.

The first person she thought of was Alex, who was worried the most about being placed in the dark. She has unconsciously determined the significant people in her life.

The paramedics ran over to give her a medical examination. Elly, with the support of Alex, stood up and rubbed his hands and refused. She suddenly hugged him in the curious eyes of the onlookers.

I surrender. The sudden hug stiffened his body, and the whisper in his ear creates a big smile on his face. His loose hands slowly lifted and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to hold her deeply in his arms.

She didn't stop hating him, and couldn't pretend that she didn't care. Elly wouldn't deceive herself, and couldn't deny the fact that she had feelings for him.

I have been looking forward to this day for a long time! Alex showed his arrogant face, but he reluctantly let her go and got rid of the warm hug.

I asked the doctor to have a checkup first. Your health is more important than anything else.

The colleagues of Swiss company watched curiously, and several female employees imagined the touching story between these two people.

Elly listened sheepishly and followed the medical staff to the lounge to check.

Alex scanned the people around him and went straight to the boss of Swiss. He did not intend to ignore the incident.

Mr. Jacob realized the seriousness of the incident and summoned everyone in the company, including elevator maintenance.

Alex looked directly at Jacob coldly and said arrogantly. "I am Elly's boyfriend. I hope the company can give me a reasonable explanation."

Jacob had a headache when he ran into a fire ant nest and reproached the elevator repairman. "Why is the elevator broken? Do you want me to reduce the salary?"

"We placed the sign indicating that "the elevator is under maintenance" on the outside, but we don't know why Elly went inside."

"Are you saying that Elly put herself in danger?" Jacob yelled.

"Well, no, I mean, the warning sign can't see outside, it's gone, so Ms. Elly went inside."

"Are you sure?" Alex looked at the danger and highlighted every word. "Does this prove that what happened today was not an accident?"

Jacob was so crazy that he stared at the repairman. If it is an accident, it can be easily solved, and now someone has deliberately framed Elly. Alex's anger can't be borne by this small company.

"I'll give you one last chance to plead guilty. If anyone comes forward and apologizes, I can ask Mr. Alex to reduce the punishment, but if no one doesn't want to admit it, Mr. Alex will find the killer. Then I can't help with the consequences."

People exchanged eyes to eyes and no one apologized.

"No one will admit it." Jacob screamed angrily. "Check the camera, find out the truth, and I'll take care of it myself!"
