Chapter 181 Lover
"What did you say?!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I... but I'm not sure either..."
"But Madam did just go downstairs, I don't know if she will take the elevator later."
"How about I send a message or make a phone call to my wife to see how things are going on her end?"
Faced with this situation, He Xu panicked, after all, it was none other than Jiang Qin.
Even if Jiang Qin wasn't his wife, Mr. Huo, he still didn't want anything to happen to her because of their colleague relationship.
But before the call was even made, Horstley jumped up from his chair.
Like a gust of wind, the man strode out.
Fu Rongying, who was already somewhat surprised to see He Xu suddenly enter, was even more astonished upon seeing this.
Before he could ask any questions, He Xu quickly came out from the inner room and ran after him.
He hurriedly dialed Jiang Qin's number. As a former assassin, He Xu's intuition was always sharp.
The next phone call confirmed his ominous premonition; the notification tone was exactly what he dreaded hearing at that moment—
"Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."
The engineering department staff, who were working on emergency repairs, had not received any news that any department was short-staffed. They still held a sliver of hope, thinking that it must be someone who wasn't very important. Although they were anxious, they weren't in a real hurry.
The next second, upon receiving the call, the person in charge turned deathly pale and quickly made a promise.
"Yes, Mr. Huo! Don't worry! We are working on expedited repairs! We will definitely ensure the safety of everyone inside the elevator!"
As soon as the call ended, the employee in charge of the emergency repairs felt his heart leap into his throat.
The reason was simple: he had only heard that President Huo had a cold temper, but he had never personally experienced it. Just now, when he heard Huo Sili speak, the pressure of that superior was so overwhelming that he could hardly breathe!
It was easy to tell from the conversation that the person on the other end was of exceptionally high status, and he immediately shouted to his subordinates.
"Hurry up, faster, faster!"
"The people inside are very important to President Huo. They could be some big shot or a major business partner. If something happens to them, we'll all lose our jobs!"
……
"Qinqin! Qinqin!"
When Jiang Qin woke up, it was noisy all around her, and she wasn't sure if she was dreaming.
She has mild claustrophobia, which means she is fine in large spaces but not in small, dark environments when she is alone.
The elevator kept falling, and it was too dark around her. Thinking of her child, despair engulfed her like a nightmare. She tried her best to calm herself down, but it was no use; she was too dizzy.
Fear spurred her to survive, but it also made her dizzy. She had no recollection of whether she had fainted or not, nor did she know if she was having a dying recollection or hallucinating.
As the light grew brighter, I could vaguely make out the familiar ceiling layout.
This is the Huo family's office area.
So this person in front of me, this voice...
Is it really him?
Feeling extremely dizzy, Jiang Qin tried her best to distinguish things, and her sense of smell recovered before her vision.
A breeze swept by, bringing her the familiar, faint woody scent that he always carried, mixed with a hint of mint.
However, at this moment, the scent on his body seemed to be mixed with something else, the sweet and cloying scent of a woman's perfume.
Jiang Qin frowned, her voice weak but clearly cold.
"You...you get away from me!"
As she spoke, she weakly pushed against his chest with her hand.
Horstley didn't hear him clearly and asked, "What did you say?"
Jiang Qin repeated it again. He leaned down to listen carefully, and the noisy world instantly turned into a black and white silent film.
Huo Sili pursed his thin lips, but his hands didn't loosen; instead, he held her even tighter.
Those standing to the side, who had been watching Huo Sili rush in and pick up Jiang Qin, were immediately shocked once again.
"Holy crap, what's going on?"
"I don't know, but this..."
"Could it really be as the rumors say, that Secretary Jiang is President Huo's...mistress?"
lover.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qin's pink lips tightened abruptly. Then, her vision returned, and she was met with a handsome, familiar face, but one that was noticeably pale.
His dark eyes were fixed on her, her image reflected in them, and his thin lips were pursed.
