Joey was dragged into the elevator and the elevator door closed slowly.
Just then, Allen appeared in front of the elevator.
However, he stood with his back to the elevator, searching every corner of the crowed club for Joey with his anxious eyes.
“Oh, Allen…”
Joey was thrilled to see Allen, like a drowning man desperately waving at a boat nearby. Allen was just two or three meters away, but her mouth was abruptly covered by Ben Hawk’s hand. Her voice was almost inaudible, especially in such a noisy club.
Allen apparently didn’t hear her. He kept searching for her with his eyes and started to walk toward the lady’s room. His back was turned to her and the elevator the whole time.
“Allen…turn around, please. I’m right behind you, Allen…”
Joey’s eyes were full of dead panic and despair. She waved his hands desperately in the air, but she couldn’t make a sound. She frantically prayed that he would turn around to see her.
Finally in a telepathic moment, Allen suddenly turned around and looked at the elevator behind.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
The elevator door closed ruthlessly.
For a moment, Allen had the impression that he had seen a pair of teary eyes full of panic and despair, but he thought it was too fleeting to be true.
