Chapter 10

• “This is my floor…I need to leave.” Meilei had melted to submissive and afraid when faced with the obvious venom, yet he stood between her and the doors as they slid closed. Her voice was barely a trembling whisper of breathiness.
• “This is my building. You will stay where you fucking are!” He replied with an instant rasp, cornering her with a slight lean as though warning her to try and get past him. “You work in this company?” He snapped in sarcasm, trying to reign in his urge to break her little neck. He was overwhelmed with so many chaotic feelings and emotions that he didn’t know how to hold them together. He felt like he was about to explode, and his heart was racing so fast he had begun to sweat in his tailored suit. His mind was a crashing mess of conflicted thoughts.
• Meilei could hardly deny it and nodded her head, eyes wide with fear. She was battling the tightening of her lungs as her breath grew thin. She willed herself not to freak out and have a panic attack here and now in front of him, as he would most definitely stand there and watch her suffocate to death.
