Chapter 280

When the lights were turned on, the whole building of the Moran Group was silent, with just Elianaworking overtime. It was getting close to ten o’clock by the time she approved the initial draft of thebracelet.

Time was not on her side! Eliana rose to her feet and started to gather her things, wanting to leavework immediately.

Her phone rang out of nowhere in the eerily calm building.

Who could have contacted her so late in the night? Eliana pulled out her phone as she walked out ofthe office.

It was Nancy’s video call request.

She then realized that she had not seen Nancy in quite some time.

Without delay, she answered the video call, “Mrs. Moran… Maurice?! Why are you the one calling?”

The person that appeared on the screen was Maurice, not Nancy.

“Did you not see the text messages I sent you?”

Text messages?

Eliana left the video interface. After that, she discovered that Maurice had truly sent her multiplemessages, asking if she could arrange a video call and informing her that his grandma wanted to seeher.

However, she was too preoccupied to see the messages sooner.

“Mr. Moran, what’s up? It’s just now that I’m getting home from work. When I was preoccupied, wasn’t itnatural that I would miss the messages?”

Immediately after her remarks, she proceeded to the elevator and punched the down button.

“Preoccupied? Are you still in the firm at this time?”

“Indeed, I’ve been working beyond my normal schedule up to this point. When you have an employeelike me, you might be secretly pleased as a boss.”

Maurice and Harriet returned to the Moran family’s home with smiles on their faces as she workedextra here.

Eliana’s heart sank as she contemplated this.

In the midst of their conversation, the elevator was about to come.

How long had Eliana been working overtime? How was she still in the company?

At ten o’clock, the Moran Group’s building would lose electricity for maintenance, and Maurice realizedthat it was nearly 10 o’clock.

Fuck!

Maurice’s eyebrows furrowed and he said, “Eliana! Listen to me! Don’t go in the elevator at this time.”

It was nevertheless too late for him to say so.

The elevator arrived.

And Eliana walked inside it.

“What was that?”

Eliana failed to hear what Maurice had just said. When she turned her head again, the elevator doorhad closed and it had begun to descend.

A few stories down, the elevator froze and would not go again. The surrounds were engulfed indarkness.

“The hell!”

Eliana’s screamed as a result of her being startled by the sudden darkness. Her legs began to trembleas a result of her terror. She squatted down while holding her head. Even her phone tumbled to thefloor after slipping from her grasp.

The video chat on the phone abruptly ended due to a lack of reception.

What had gone wrong?

Eliana had no idea what was happening. With little light to guide her, she strained to locate her phoneon the floor.

She carefully stood up with her back against the elevator wall after swiftly turning on the flashlight onher cell phone.

Eliana spotted the notification of a power outage and maintenance on the elevator wall in the low lightof her cell phone. According to the notice, the electricity would be turned off for maintenance from10:00 p.m. tonight to 6:00 a.m. in the morning.

The last clause was highlighted in red.

“Don’t use the elevator within the designated time period.”

The sight of it left Eliana in a state of disbelief. She could not refrain from cursing, “Fuck this! Whydidn’t you install a caution sign in front of the elevator?”

Who in the devil placed that notice inside? Didn’t they realize that such an essential notification neededto be displayed outside the elevator for everybody to see?

As soon as she had stepped inside the elevator, warnings were of no use anymore.

In a fit of hysteria, the elevator went down as soon as she finished cursing.

“God!” Eliana let out another scream.

Now she was really scared.

“Eliana! Eliana! Eliana!”

Maurice couldn’t get through to Eliana when the video conversation was abruptly cut off.

Beep! Beep!

Damn! Eliana was still in the firm. Clearly, she was in danger.

Fear gripped Maurice as he clutched his phone desperately.

“Maurice, what’s the matter?”

Nancy, too, noticed something was amiss when she saw her grandson’s pale face.

“Grandma, there’s a chance Eliana’s in danger. I’m going to the company right now to look for her.”

When Maurice finished speaking, he dashed out of the door like a wind gust.

‘Eliana, hang on… I’ll be right there.’
