Chapter 238: Right number, Wrong voice

My heart began racing as my eyes glanced at open elevator doors. I stayed extremely still with the sole bodyguard beside me. The elevator then chimed indicating that the doors were about to close. Without thinking my legs moved and I immediately rushed out at the last second . "Mrs Acland!" I heard the voice of the bodyguard behind me yell out. The elevator doors were about midway from closing when I managed to slip through.

A sharp pain shot through my leg from the sudden movement to get out of the elevator. It was easier to walk around now, but it still hurt.

I turned and looked back at the elevator that continued. I left rather impulsively. I’d really done it now.

I just wanted a break from being constantly watched 24/7. My mind immediately began to race as I contemplated what to do next.

I looked down at my handbag that I always carried around with me. I had my notes that I wrote down all the details of the investigation in the bag. I could try to run away but I still hadn’t collected enough information.

As much as I hated Keith, at the very least he was cooperative in helping to find Tony. I knew if I worked with him I was sure I would eventually find out who Tony’s kidnappers were.

For Tony’s sake, I was willing to put up with it. So... I was going to stay.

I let an exhausted. I hated that I even had to think like this. So what to do with this temporary freedom? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

There was one thing I wanted to do. Something Keith was clearly never going to allow me to do. I quickly started moving away from the elevator, the bodyguards were going to come back to check for me. I just needed some time, 20 to 30 minutes at least before Keith found me. And I knew they were going to find me.

As for Keith’s reaction when he eventually catches me —well, that was a problem for later. At the very least I knew he wouldn’t drag me around or scream at me. Walked down the hallway of the floor as company employees walked down it as well. I carefully I looked up at the ceilings and found the cameras on every floor. I wouldn’t be able to run far before I was caught.

I reached the door to the Buildings staircase. the door and began to go down the steps. To delay the bodyguards I had to go to a different floor I knew the bodyguards were going to check the floor I got of from first.

My foot and ankle hurt a little bit since I was rushing but I brushed the pain aside.

Using the stairs reminded me of the time with Tony on the emergency staircase at the distribution centre which made me a little depressed.

I went down several flights of stairs and then after about 6 levels I went to the nearest door and opened it to enter the floor.

I looked through the different rooms I passed by all different offices with employees working inside I needed to find a phone. Should I ask a random person I thought to myself? As I looked at all the employees moving around in the hallway. Just as I was about to decide who to ask for a phone I reached the open door to an empty office.

Immediately I stopped moving and looked into the office my eyes glanced at the desk. Next to the desktop was a telephone. That could work too, I thought to myself.

If I tried asking some of the employees for their phone, I wasn’t sure if they would refuse or accept this however, this was a better alternative.
