Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

“Miss Jenkins, I tried to stop you from entering the elevator, but I failed. So, of course, I had to accompany you. Once the elevator fails again, it is not right for the guest to be trapped in the elevator alone.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“When you just stuck the door, you could’ve told me that there is a problem with the elevator. You didn’t have to wait until the door was closed.”

“You are right, genius. Why didn’t I think about it?” Travis was infinitely sorry.

Arianna angrily turned her head and pressed the bell button, but it did not respond at all. She took out the phone, and the phone had no signal in the elevator. She stared at the elevator control panel and muttered, “This building looks so luxurious from the outside. It’s glamorous. Who would imagine that the president’s special ladder is broken? And there is no signal inside the elevator! Only got the look, huh?”

“People can get sick, and the elevator can, of course, be broken once in a while. In fact, it had a failure for the first time yesterday evening. This is the second time. I can only blame you for having such bad luck.”

Arianna was furious. She pressed her anger and said to Travis, who looked so comfortable, “Are you not going to call for help?”

“I am not in a hurry to go out. If you are in a hurry, call yourself.”

“How can you let your guest call for help?”

“Guest… I just talked about it. Do you really regard yourself as a guest? Were you not looking for trouble with me?”

Arianna was speechless. She kicked the elevator door a few times, hoping someone could hear it.

Travis did not pull her back this time but directly blocked her in front of the door, forcing her to retract her feet, “If you got the door broken, we would not be able to go out. This is the ninth floor. You make a big noise, and still, no one will hear it.”

“If you are willing to be trapped here for a hundred years, suit yourself. But I am not willing to stay here for a minute more!” Arianna exclaimed angrily. She spoke so loudly that she choked herself.

Travis took a half step forward and wanted to help her, but he gave up. When she got better, he said softly, “When Ryan finds the elevator is stuck on the ninth floor, he will find someone to open the door. This is just a small glitch.”

Arianna retired to the farthest corner away from Travis and said, “How long will it take before he finds out?”

Travis took a look at the watch on his wrist, “Up to twenty minutes. Because I have other arrangements in a while, and he will remind me.”

When the phrase “twenty minutes” fell into her ears, Arianna lost her last bit of strength. Yesterday she almost didn’t sleep all night. Now she only felt exhausted. And she was wearing high heels. At this point, she could not even stand up steadily. She stood leaning against the wall.

Travis glanced at her and said, “If you feel tired, you can sit on the ground for a while. No one will see that.”

Arianna had wanted to fight back and say, “You are here,” but she gave up.

The light in the elevator just disappeared at this moment, and it was dark all around.

It turned out Travis did not lie this time too, which she still could remember he said to her a long time ago. Now, if she sat on the ground, there was really “no one” who could see her.

Travis kept his mouth shut at this moment.

Arianna gradually couldn’t hold it. She simply listened to Travis’s suggestion and slowly sat down at the foot of the elevator wall, holding her legs and burying her head in her arms.

In the darkness and silence, she was sleepy and tired, and she fell asleep. She fell back into the nightmare scene she had yesterday. Back to the stage where there was no skylight, the man dressed in white was gone. There was only herself, lonely and lost, surrounded by a desolate landscape.

There were people getting close to her, their faces covered with masks that only revealed their eyes, and they were holding swords that were radiating a cold light on the tips. Then suddenly, all of their faces changed into Chester’s face.

Arianna wanted to shout but lost her voice. She could not move her legs, and even her arms holding the bow and arrow became heavy and stuck. Then she awakened from the nightmare with cold sweat all over her body. The surroundings were still dark. She could not remember where she was and why she had come here for a moment.

She woke up again because someone tried to pat her face and press her chest. While still lying on the floor, she gradually remembered being stuck with Travis in the elevator.

Travis’s voice was very anxious, “Arianna, breathe! Hey, you are just pretending, right? Don’t you think it’s too exaggerated? Don’t you be so scary!”

She didn’t want to pay attention to him. She had no energy to bother. But his movement was so big that she wanted to punch his hands and shout, “You are the one who is pretending!”

She thought she was full of momentum, but her hand just raised in the air and then fell back to the ground. Her breath was getting weak, looking like a dying person. Then she felt dazed, and loud noises were raging in her ears. She could vaguely hear Travis’s voice in her ears, “Do you have heart disease? Asthma? Or just because you are afraid of darkness?”

“You are the one who got a heart attack! You got asthma yourself!” She wanted to say that, but she could not. Soon she fell into a semi-conscious state.

When she woke up again, she had already collapsed into Travis’s arms. She pushed him, but she had not a bit of strength left. She was like a big piece of sponge now. With a little movement, the sweat would spring upon her body. Her forehead, neck, back, palms, and feet were all soaked in sweat.

There suddenly was a little light in the small space. It was Travis’s mobile phone, not very bright. It was very close to Arianna.

She glanced at the LCD screen and could not believe what she saw.

The time she entered the office room of Travis till now only took twenty minutes, but she already felt she had passed through several life cycles in the process.
