Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 317

The light went out all of a sudden, and the darkness poured down like a thick black waterfall. Five fingers could not be seen in the narrow space.

The extreme fear came, and the muscles of Essie were all tightened. She curled up in the corner, her hands and feet were cold, and her body kept trembling. She wanted to ask for help, but the phone fell to the ground in fear and couldn't be found. Remembering that there was a satellite phone in her handbag, she quickly found it out in shiver. This was given to her by Zac when she was in Sea City. It was the previous one, which was for his exclusive use. Whenever she called, he would be right there.

Her head was so short of oxygen that she couldn't figure out who she was going to call. She just subconsciously pressed the dial button. There was only one number in it, and the phone was automatically connected.

At this time, Zac was spending a boring and irritable night in the office. When he saw the caller ID on his phone, his dark and cold eyes suddenly lit up. This woman actually took the initiative to call him. Did she come round and want to make up with him?

The corner of his mouth, which had been drooping for many days, finally raised a slight arc. He pressed the answer key, suppressed his voice and made a deep 'hello' sound.

"I was locked in the elevator of Hengyuan Co., Ltd... It is so dark... Help me... " Essie's throat was convulsed violently, and her voice was weak and trembling. Zac's nerves suddenly tightened and his face turned pale. "Don't be afraid, you little fool. Take a deep breath. I'll be right there." He rushed downstairs, jumped into the car, and ordered his men with another mobile phone to take tools to the Hengyuan building.

"I'll be there soon. Turn on the flashlight and hold on." While driving, he talked to her via Bluetooth to relieve her claustrophobia.

"Icy guy... You sing to me... " She said intermittently.

"Okay." He began to sing, and she said she was not afraid when she heard it.

The men in black and Zac arrived at the same time. When they used tools to pry the elevator, Zac kept singing to Essie.

Essie held the phone tightly, and his magnetic song drifted in the narrow space, making her convulsion slightly relieved. But the phone was running out of power. After breaking up with him, she didn't charge it.

Just as the last glimmer of light went out, the elevator door opened. The elevator stopped in the middle of the floor. Without thinking, Zac jumped down and held her in his arms. "It is all right. It is all right, you little fool."

Essie buried her head in his arms and held the hem of his cloth tightly. When she returned to the villa by the lake, she slowly loosened her grip.

The man in black called Zac to report the situation. It was not an accident. The circuit of the elevator was cut off by someone.

After drinking a cup of warm tea, Essie slowly regained her composure.
