Elle did not hesitate to take the coat and when she turned back to look enquiringly at Sebastian, the man was already leaving. She had no choice but to quickly nod her thanks to Lucas and rushed after Sebastian while hastily wearing Lucas' coat over her bathrobe.

She finally caught up to him when he stood before the elevator. She could not help but glance up at his enchanting face. Though it seemed as though Lucas had successfully stopped the bleeding, the man did not bother to even wipe off the blood that had tracked down and dried on the side of his face. The blood was all over his neck. If he had not been wearing an all-black outfit, she was certain that the blood soaking his clothes would have been quite gruesome to look at.

The elevator dinged and its doors finally slid open. So Elle poked her head in, only to see a large man inside, wearing the same all black three piece suit that the beaten up men were wearing.

Her heart leapt up to her throat. Elle thought Sebastian would not enter, but he nonchalantly walked inside, turned around and look at her. His gaze was unreadable, but Elle did not feel him sending her any signal whether she should enter or not.

"Get in, Izabelle." His voice nearly jolted her. She had not expected him to say out name her right before her enemy. And in front of one that looked like wrestler at that!

Despite her jumbled-up thoughts, Elle entered. She stood right in front of Sebastian.

The air inside the elevator was charged, almost suffocating as it moved down.

As the seconds ticked by, the atmosphere inside the elevator became more dangerous. Elle thought that this must be what bloodlust felt like. It was nauseating. She felt as though a bomb was about to be detonated anytime soon inside this elevator. And all she could do was to just stand still and pray for the elevator's door to finally open.

Loud sounds of something solid slammed against the elevator's walls in the next few seconds. Startled, Elle scooted forward and pressed herself against the elevator's door. When she turned back to look, thinking to maybe help Sebastian against the huge guy, she was once again rendered paralyzed.

Sebastian's hand was gripping a fistful of the huge man's hair and was slamming his head against the now bloodied wall.

He suddenly stopped, finally glancing up at her. He straightened and let go of the man's hair.

The huge man's body slumped to the floor and the elevator's door slid open behind her.
