Chapter 37: Claustrophobia
My drowsiness woke up all at once.
"What's wrong?"
In an instant, I had a lot of bad possibilities in my head.
What happened to Yaowang's project? Li Zhenyue is a demon again? Or is there some new rumor coming out?
"Wait until you get to the company and say it in person!" Li Yunzhou said solemnly and hung up the phone.
I didn't have time to think about it, I didn't even bother to comb my hair, and immediately drove to the Li Group.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and my colleagues were off work.
I stood under the office building and looked up to see that only the top floor of Li Yunzhou's office was still lit.
Hurriedly took the elevator upstairs.
I thought that something had happened to the company, and Li Yunzhou should have gathered a lot of people overnight.
After entering the office, I was dumbfounded, where else could there be but him?
The suit jacket he took off was casually placed on a chair, the office was fully heated, and he wore only a thin shirt with an unbuttoned neckline, revealing a fair and slender neck.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and when he saw me, he looked at me with a pair of dark eyes and said nothing.
"What the hell is going on?" I was stunned and asked, "Didn't you call me for an emergency meeting?" ”
He snorted coldly, looked away, and said in a gloomy voice, "I heard that you went to your father's birthday party?" ”
That's it?
Even if he is dissatisfied with the Ruan family's swaggering and deception in his name, he can't afford to ask me to come to the company for a meeting in the middle of the night!
I was speechless, but I couldn't help but respond: "Well, I also went to the scene to know their true intentions." ”
"Stupid." Li Yunzhou coldly spat out two words.
I pursed my lips: "Is Mr. Li done scolding?" After scolding, I went back to sleep. ”
"Report down." He stared at me and suddenly gave the order lightly.
I was stunned: "What? ”
Li Yunzhou narrowed his dark eyes: "As the vice president of the company, don't you have a job that needs to be reported to me?" ”
"Now?"
"Any comments?" His brow furrowed slightly.
I finally understood that he had called me to a meeting in the middle of the night to torture me.
Who made me his subordinate!
How dare I have any opinions, I can only suppress the dissatisfaction and sleepiness in my heart and do it.
"Okay, can I borrow your computer?" I asked him through gritted teeth.
Li Yunzhou nodded, I opened his laptop, entered the mailbox to download the work report, and then reported to him word by word.
I don't know if it's really idle and have nothing to do, Li Yunzhou actually listened very seriously.
He sat down on the leather couch next to him and stared at me intently for two hours.
By the time the debriefing was finished, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
I said with a dry mouth, my upper and lower eyelids fought desperately, and I stood up extremely tired: "Mr. Li, I'm done reporting." ”
"Not bad."
In exchange for two words that he understated.
I yawned and felt like I could fall asleep standing up: "Can I go?" ”
"Together." He walked out the door first with his long legs.
I followed him and entered the elevator with him.
I leaned into the staircase, staring blankly at the countdown numbers on the screen.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, the numbers on the display disappeared, and the lights in the elevator went out instantly.
There was a power outage!
I instinctively shuddered, and I couldn't help but think of the experience of being trapped in a dark room.
In the next second, Li Yunzhou turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and he pressed the emergency call button, but the button did not respond at all.
"Do you have a cell phone signal?" He glanced at his phone and asked me.
I quickly took out my phone, then shook my head in despair, my lips began to dry and I couldn't even say half a word.
My legs were a little weak, and goosebumps were coming out of my body.
I slid down the ladder and sat down on the floor, curled up in a ball, and began to shiver.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Yunzhou sensed that something was wrong with me and walked over to me.
I shook my head, still speechless, my mind uncontrollably recalling the cold, hopeless, and suffocating feeling I felt in the darkroom.
"Claustrophobia." A noun came out of Li Yunzhou's mouth, he squatted down and hugged me gently, and called me in a deep voice, "Ruan Shi, listen to me." You close your eyes now, don't think about anything, and don't worry. ”
I closed my eyes and heard Li Yunzhou continue: "The monitoring room is manned 24 hours a day, and now the security guards should have discovered the elevator failure, they will come to rescue us soon, don't be afraid." ”
I know what he says, but I just can't control myself!
I shivered harder, my breathing became rapid, and a feeling of desperate suffocation swept over me.
I snapped my eyes open.
Just when I couldn't help but scratch my neck with my hand, Li Yunzhou's big hand held the back of my head and lowered his head to kiss me.
My eyes widened, and after a few seconds of panic, I unexpectedly calmed down.
The trembling of my body stopped, and I looked at his dark starry eyes, and my consciousness became more and more sober little by little.
"Ding!" The elevator door opened.
It's called.
The lights in the staircase came back on, and Li Yunzhou and I closed our eyes at the same time as we were shaken by the strong light.
At the same time, two voices sounded outside the door one after another-
"Mr. Li, are you okay?"
"Ah......h Excuse me! ”
Realizing that Li Yunzhou and I were still in a kissing posture, I pushed him away violently, and my face burned to the root of my ears at once.
That's embarrassing, isn't it?
Several security guards obviously wanted to continue looking, but because of the identities of Li Yunzhou and me, they didn't dare to look at us blatantly, so they could only step aside and sneak a glance at us with their spare eyes.
"Thank you just now for saving me, I'll go home first." I got up and walked out of the office building quickly.
On the drive home, I was exceptionally sober.
I went home and lay in bed and didn't fall asleep immediately, my mind was full of what had just happened.
I know that Li Yunzhou and I are divorced, but the moment he kisses me, my heart still beats faster.
But what does this mean?
He kissed me to save me, and it was because of my claustrophobia attack that I was tempted by him to save me again.
My mind was so messy that I forced myself to empty myself and fell asleep before I knew it.
Early Monday morning, I was getting ready to go to work.
When the doorbell rang, I opened the door and asked, "Who?" ”
"Young lady, it's me." The voice is somewhat familiar.
I opened the door and saw that the person standing outside turned out to be Steward Chen.
Steward Chen saluted me and said to me respectfully, "Young lady, the old man invites you to meet at the old mansion." ”
"Does Steward Chen know what Grandpa is looking for me?" I was very surprised and asked subconsciously.
If Old Man Li has something to look for me, he can call me directly, why would he send Steward Chen to pick me up in person?
Wait a minute...... How did he know I was living in this apartment!
