Chapter 6 Trapped in an elevator

I returned to his office by ten minutes to three to announce that everything was set in place for the meeting. We went to the hall and he stood on the podium to give his announcement while i was in the midst of the crowd.

Several girls were hooting, describing how he looked. He had a bold masculine face, deep down brown eyes, his lashes and brows were full and his nose straight. His lips were small pink and his hair was black. His skin was creamery and smooth, his muscles defined and his body was amazing. His height range was probably about 6ft4. He was dressed in a black Armani suit, crispy white shirt and navy blue tie.

He looked professional in his outfit. His expression was cold and he seemed to be oozing a lot of power and confidence.

"Everybody quiet!" He shouted, earning immediate silence. He started giving his talk and i wasn't interested in it. My mind kept on wandering to other places.

How would i cope with him? Would i have to resign or will he fire me? If any of that should happen how would i live?

"Miss Vivian." I heard him call out my name. Almost everyone turned to look at me and so i looked back.

"Yes sir," I answered, what was he going to do or say now?

"It seems like your attention isn't in the meeting. Do you think I'm saying something unreasonable that doesn't demand attention but i couldn't say that to his face. "No sir."

"Good, so what have i been saying? He asked and I couldn't feel a smirk threatening to escape his lips, he was doing it on purpose.

"Uhmmm you stared by introducing yourself and then went ahead to state your expectations on the projects, saying you'd want nothing but hard work," I replied slowly.

"I want your full attention on what I'm saying, all of you," he ordered harshly causing me to pay attention this time for a long boring thirty minutes.

When closing hours reached, i went to inform him that I'd be leaving in case he needed me to do anything.

"You may leave but you must be here early tomorrow, I don't want to be here before you," he ordered, but it seemed more like a warning to me.

"Okay sir, I'd be early tomorrow." I said while leaving his office.

After receiving a phone call from my best friend, I clean up my table and prepared to go. I saw Daniel coming out from his office. I don't want to go the same way with him.

But, weirdly....I can't see him anymore. But as I know he must have gone.

"Where was he? Has he gone already?" I talk to myself as i was looking around to find him.

"Are you looking for me? Let's go back together. I'll drop you home."

"Ohh, don't bother sir. I can go home on my own."

"Okay then. Let's us go from here."

He leads the way and was walking in front of me. I just followed from the back. I suddenly have a bad thought in mind while i was walking from his back... he looks a little messy from behind but he is still in a cool image. The more i look at his back....I feel that he still look more charming.

"Oh...okay. Come in ." He was already going in the elevator.

"Huh! Ohh..I'm coming! I was very embarrassed at that time.

As they entered inside the elevator, both of them were silent.

Vivian feel awkward, she was alone with her ex in the elevator. She didn't know if she should to start a conversation or keep quiet.

Suddenly, the elevator stopped moving. They were stuck there and the light inside was gone too.

"Aaaaah! I screamed out loud.

"I'm here! Don't be scared!" Daniel held her hand and pulled her closer to his arms. Hold my hand, where's your phone? Switch on the light.

"Okay..." I replied with a trembling voice. I quickly switch on my phone torchlight, slowly took a deep breath and feel relieved that he was here with me. I can't imagine what will happen to me if i were to be alone and this happened.

"Vivian, are you okay?" Daniel touched her face and rubbed her head gently.

"I'm okay, Don't worry." I replied him.

"Okay, that's good. I already press the button for help. I'm sure they will know we are stucked her.

"Yeah, I hope so."

"So, right now... are you still scared even when I'm with you here? He looks straight into my eyes.

"Oh, no... I'm not scared anymore. I'm okay."

"I see..... but i can feel that your hand pull out my shirt too tight." He pointed out my hands.

"Ohh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean ....." I let my hands go from him.

"It's okay." Suddenly he was rubbing my hair. I was surprised by his actions.

Why would he do that to me? Oh, maybe he is just worried about me right? But, his eyes look like he has a deep feelings to me. Why do i suddenly blushed when he touched my hair. Why is my heart beating so fast? What the heck is wrong with me. It's unbelievable that I'm in a trapped elevator with my ex.

"Vivian.... Vivian." Daniel called her name softly.

Vivian was in her own world.

"Vivian Gabriel." He touched her shoulders.

"Huh?"

"Are you okay? Is everything alright with you?

"Yeah, of course, I'm fine."

"I called out your name so much time, but you didn't give any responses."
