Yaoyao's big, watery eyes kept glancing at the man entering the elevator. When she noticed their eyes meeting, she hurriedly lowered her head and fumbled to press the "1" button.
The elevator started moving, and Yu Aotian slowly lifted his head, his gaze shifting towards the corner where a monitoring system was placed.
Control Room.
"Uh-oh, Aotian's really alert. Even though I already turned off the warning lights, he still noticed it. How boring. Fine, I'll turn it off, I'll turn it off," Long Qi muttered, glancing helplessly at the monitor showing Yu Aotian staring at him. He then sighed and shut down the surveillance system.
"Tch, can't watch your 'performance' anymore. I'll just watch some films. At least Teacher Cang is far 'bigger' than your female lead," he said with a sly grin as he opened a drawer and pulled out a cherished DVD.
Inside the elevator.
Once the surveillance system was completely turned off, Yu Aotian gave a wicked smile and slowly turned his gaze toward Yaoyao, who was facing away from him. "What's your name?"
"Ah?" She froze for a moment, then awkwardly turned around. "Sir, are you talking to me?"
"Heh, is there anyone else in the elevator?"
Could be a ghost, for all she knew. "I'm Luo Yaoyao… Yaoyao!"
Clang! Just as she finished saying her name, the elevator suddenly came to a halt. Yaoyao's eyes widened in panic. "What's happening?"
"Ah, looks like the elevator broke down," Yu Aotian said with a seemingly helpless expression.
Looking at the man's expression, Yaoyao furrowed her brows. Could it be? She had only said her name, and the elevator broke down? Was she that powerful? "What should we do? Shouldn't we call someone for help?"
Call for help? How could he let this little thing escape so easily? "No need to call anyone. I think rescue personnel will be here soon. Let's just sit and wait."
"Alright." They both leaned back against the elevator wall and sat down.
"Yaoyao, right? How old are you?"
"19."
"Only 19? No wonder you look so innocent." As he said that, his eyes seemed to gleam with even more wickedness. "On your first day, how did you guess that we're from the Public Relations department?"
Sweat. Could she just say that they looked like they worked in PR? "I just got lucky... really lucky."
"Oh, so that's how it is. You're quite lucky, Yaoyao!"
At the man's compliment, Yaoyao couldn't help but feel a bit shy and more drawn to him, thinking how gentle and kind he was. "Hehe, it's what I should do."
She was so absorbed in her happiness that she didn't notice how much closer Yu Aotian was getting to her, or the cold, solitary expression on his face.
"By the way, Yaoyao."
Looking up and turning to the right, she finally realized that the man had almost positioned himself right next to her. Instinctively, she moved slightly. "W-What is it?"
"Have you ever... done something in an elevator?"
Huh? What? Did he just say...?
No, it couldn't be. A man as refined and elegant as him wouldn't say something shameless like that. She must have misheard. "W-What did you say, sir?"
"Didn't understand? Let me repeat it..."
In an instant, Yu Aotian's expression darkened. He dropped the façade and revealed his true domineering and cold aura. "I want to play with you in the elevator!"
