He was still waiting for her at the elevator!
His foot hadn't recovered yet. What if he lost his balance and got hurt again?
Amber was worried. She tried to straighten herself up.
However, the shaking didn't stop. She almost fell forward again before she could stand up.
Finally, she held on to the wall for support and regained her footing.
"It would take forever to get to Jared in these shoes." Amber thought.
Then, she took a deep breath, took off her high heels, and ran towards the elevator.
Although she wavered a little when she ran, she didn't slow down.
She had to make sure that Jared was okay.
God, please don't let anything happen to Jared!
Amber prayed.
Jared was leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his hand waiting for Amber.
Unexpectedly, an earthquake came out of nowhere.
It was fortunate that he had the wall for support. Otherwise, he would have fallen to the ground.
With a deft flick of his wrist, he extinguished the stub.
After throwing it in a trash bin, he walked down the corridor trying to find Amber.
Amber must be frightened right now.
Jared thought. His face stiffened a little with worry. He picked up the pace; obviously he didn't care whether he would hurt his foot again.
He just wanted to be with Amber, protect her, and tell her everything was going to be fine.
Soon, Jared turned at the corner and saw Amber coming from the opposite direction.
"Amber!" Jared exclaimed.
Hearing his voice, Amber stopped and raised her head to see the man leaning against the wall. She called out in surprise, "Jared!"
Amber didn't care how did he get here.
She only cared that Jared was here right now and didn't get hurt.
Amber let go of the wall and ran towards Jared as fast as she could.
She didn't stop even if she almost stumbled because of the earthquake.
Seeing her wobbling her way, Jared was on pins and needles. He straightened up and hurried over.
He opened his arms, ready to catch her.
Amber naturally fell into his embrace.
Because of the earthquake, Jared staggered and fell backward, still holding Amber in his arms.
Amber lay face down with Jared under her as a human pillow.
Fortunately, the soft carpet saved Jared from getting hurt.
Fearing that Jared might get hurt, Amber propped up her upper body and asked urgently, "Jared, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Jared shook his head and tried to sit up.
