Mysterious Little Wife novel Chapter 6

Never would Lacey ever imagine that the lift would get stuck that day. Of a sudden, the tiny space went pitch black.

"What's going on here!"

"I'm scared!"

"What are you all yelling about? Turn on your mobile flashlight and ring the bell!"

Amidst the screams, some kept their cool. A man turned on his phone's torch and made his way to the emergency bell.

Soon after, a comforting voice came from the other side. "Calm down, everyone. We're currently arranging for repairs. Please be patient as you await the rescue."

Despite the crowd's slight relief, the inner panic they felt from the darkness remained. There was even a constant whisper of discontent.

Feeling concerned, Asa asked, "Mr. Garrison, are you all right?"

Sam shook his head and replied, "It's no big deal."

Lacey, on the other hand, was looking a little worse for wear. There was no telling how long the lift would take to fix. What if her mother suddenly woke up and couldn't find her?

While Lacey was in the middle of her worry, someone gave her a push. "What are you doing in the way? Move aside! I'm about to collide with the door!" A man yelled.

Before Lacey could retort, the man pushed her so hard that she clashed with the person next to her.

At once, she lowered her head and apologized. She then turned around and shouted at the man who had pushed her. "Why did you push me? Are you liable if someone gets hurt?"

However, there was a lot of grumbling around the lift. Her voice was muffled, and her questions went unanswered.

It was at this moment a silvery voice rang out above her head. "Miss, you're stepping on my foot."

The man sounded pleasant, yet at the same time, cold.

Startled, Lacey hastily withdrew her foot.

No wonder she felt like she'd stepped on something.

"My bad, I'll wipe it for you." No sooner had Lacey said this than she realized the lift was so cramped inside that she couldn't bend down at all.

"It doesn't matter. I'm fine." Despite the darkness in the lift, she sensed the man was avoiding her.
