Su Li walked into the ‘Prosperous’ office building, and a strong sense of discord immediately hit her face.
She knew that many people were secretly watching her, because she was Wei Chengfeng’s fiancée, and also because of the pair of flip-flops on her feet.
But Su Li still walked proudly into the elevator, managing to give the flip-flops the feel of high-heeled shoes.
With a ‘ding’, the elevator arrived at the 48th floor, and Su Li stepped out of the elevator.
The secretary saw that it was her and immediately came over, “Miss Su?
The President is in a meeting right now, it’s not very convenient.
Could you please wait for him in the reception room?”
“Okay.”
The secretary led her to the nearby reception room, served some pastries and coffee, and then left.
But ten minutes passed, then half an hour, then an hour…
No one came to fetch her.
She got up, stealthily cracked open the door to take a peek, everyone was still busy at their desks, Su Li thought for a moment, then gently closed the door and retreated back.
She thought a company as big as ‘Prosperous’ must be especially busy, with meetings that last at least an hour or two, and at most can go on all day.
She decided to wait here, sure that the secretary would come for her once he finished the meetings.
Su Li thought her plan was quite good and so she decided to continue waiting.
But as she waited, she somehow fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, everything around was pitch-black.
Su Li had never had many issues, but she was particularly afraid of the dark and of thunder.
But now, it was not only dark but also extremely quiet, as if she could clearly hear a needle drop to the ground.
Su Li stood up, leaning on the couch, wanting to move to the door, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead, too heavy to lift.
She was scared, really scared.
Her heart was pounding ‘thump thump thump’, like thundering drums.
Su Li swallowed and then took out her mobile phone from her pocket, turned on the flashlight function, saw everything around her clearly, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
She walked to the door and pressed the switch.
In an instant, the reception room was brightly lit.
But even so, Su Li did not dare to be careless, because she realized, apart from the lights in this room, everywhere else was dark.
She checked the time; it was already half-past eight, meaning, everyone had left work, and they had forgotten her here…
Su Li was so angry she gritted her teeth, but reason told her it wasn’t the time to be angry, she had to get out of here quickly.
She pushed open the door of the reception room, took a small step out, then immediately shrank back.
It was too dark outside, she didn’t dare.
She wouldn’t dare to take the elevator down from the 48th floor late at night, let alone leave this room.
People are often like this, the more afraid they are, the wilder their imagination runs.
Those ghost stories she’d occasionally glimpsed on TV, the supernatural tales she’d heard, all of them rushed forward now, playing out scene by scene in her mind like mini-movies.
Su Li knew she couldn’t keep this up, or she would scare herself to death.
The security would patrol at night, but she didn’t know when they would come here.
Waiting for them to find her was not as good as saving herself.
Having no other choice, Su Li had to call Xu Anran.
The call was quickly answered, and Su Li said urgently, “Anran, where are you?
Come and save me, quick.”
“Xiao Li?
What happened?”
“I’m trapped on the top floor of ‘Prosperous’ and can’t get out.
Please hurry and save me, I’m scared.”
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I’m in J City now and can’t return.
Here’s what we’ll do, Lu Wei just finished an event, I’ll ask him to come and save you.”
