Chapter 200
The elevator was empty and it was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breaking
Melanie lowered her head to look at her phone quietly.
The group chat Xander added her to was very lively now. Reny had tagged Melanie and told her that they were in Jepton.
Melanie was about to reply when the elevator shook Right after that, the elevator stopped and the lights went out Only Melanie’s phone was shining weakly in the dark
Melanie was started. She had slight night blindness, so the darkness made her nervous
She tried to touch the walls of the elevator and then asked with a frown, “Did the elevator break
down?”
Eugene was standing not far away from her and there was a look of impatience in his eyes. He asked coldly, “What do you think?”
“There’s an emergency phone. Call the management.” Melanie forced herself to keep her cool and she was speaking to Eugene calmly.
The button was by Eugene’s side so he tutted in displeasure and pressed on the emergency button
However, no one was answering
Melanie’s mind was in a mess. However, she remembered the phone number the management staff left her last night. So, she turned on her phone again and called the number. Immediately, someone answered, “Hello, Ms. Smith, is there anything I can help you with?”
The elevator was confined and quiet, so Melanie’s words were loud and clear. “The elevator broke down. Can you come over and fix it?”
After the staff understood what had happened, they said they would send someone to fix it
Melanie did not realize that her voice was shaking. Then, she remembered Eugene was right next to her, so she said, “The management is sending someone here.”
However, Eugene scoffed and looked at her coldly.
His vision was good and in addition to the weak light coming from Melanie’s phone, he could easily see Melanie’s expression.
He stayed quiet for a while before he made fun, “I heard Stephen is back. Are you in a rush to see him?”
Melanie frowned. She did not like it when Eugene spoke to him in this tone. “What does it have to do with Stephen?”
“Who are you seeing then?” Eugene fixed his gaze on her. The annoyance on his face was as clear as

day.
Melanie could not see his expression, but she could hear that he was in a bad mood.
However, what did she have to do with the elevator breaking down? She had night blindness, so she was in an even worse situation than him.
She calmed down and said slowly, “It’s none of your business. Also, you can’t do anything by getting annoyed. The management will come soon.”
“Melanie,” Eugene deepened his voice and called out to her.
When one’s vision was obstructed, the other senses would heighten.
Melanie could sense Eugene getting close to her and could smell the icy cedarwood on him slowly enveloping her.
Melanie clenched her fists and in the next second, Eugene grabbed her chin.
Shortly after, she heard Eugene’s deep and cold voice in her car. “Do you think you can do whatever you want?”
When he said that, his breath hit Melanie’s earlobe, making her want to back away.
However, Eugene was holding her chin in place.
Melanie struggled to find her voice. When she was about to say something, she heard the management staff calling out to them from the outside.
“Guys, can you hear me?”
