For a moment, no one reacted.
The two of them stood rooted to the ground.
The light from the phone passed through the gaps between her fingers. A beam of light seemed to
pass through the dust and stand between the two of them.
Madison looked at his deep eyes and suddenly remembered the wet warmth on her wrist. She felt a
little shy at that moment.
It was also this action that woke her up suddenly. She withdrew her hand exaggeratedly and turned her
back to Le
Even though there was no mirror in the elevator and she could not see her face clearly, Madison could
feel how hot her face was. She felt her ears burning.
She took a deep breath and cursed herself in her heart.
‘How useless! He had only touched your hand once. Was that all
Il vou could do? Madison! Where is the ability to touch his abs just now?”
Just as she was thinking about it with her back facing Leo, the man’s deep voice suddenly came from
behind her. His voice was already much clearer than before.
“Madison, are you shy? But when I first regained consciousness, weren’t you still…”
“Shut up!” Madison interrupted him angrily and turned around to glare at him.
Leo suddenly smiled. His dark eyes were filled with smiles. Under the dim light of the phone, it looked Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
gentle. “Am I right?”/
“Shut up!” Madison interrupted him angrily and sna tched the phone from his hand.
She wanted to turn off the flashlight on her phone, but after some thought, she decided. to leave it at
that.
However, she refused to raise her hand to look at Leo again. She leaned against the wall and lowered
her head,
She didn’t move, but the man moved closer.
Although his voice was much clearer, he did not seem to have fully recovered. His tone sounded a little
tired.
“Are you really angry? I just touched your hand. I didn’t say anything when you touched. me just
now…”
“Leo, I told you to shut up!”
“Yes, we just touched hands. What’s the big deal? Why do you keep harping on it?” Madison thought
angrily.
Madison lowered her head. The corners of her eyes were slightly red. She held her phone in one hand
and kept rubbing her fingertips with the other as if she could crase all the traces of her fingertips that he
had touched just now.
Leo did not say anything else. He stood side by side with Madison and looked down at her small
actions.
For some reason, his heart felt like it was stabbed by something.
“Not only did I touch your hand, but I also touched your wrist when I just woke up. I might have touched
other parts of your body when I wasn’t conscious. Do you have to wipe them clean one by one?” Leo
asked.
His voice was very cold as he spoke word by word. He watched as Madison stopped her small actions.
Madison finally raised her head. Her stubborn gaze met his.
However, she didn’t say anything. She just took a step to the side with a cold expression and turned off
the light on her phone.
‘I will not listen to you!’ Madison thought.
The darkness filled the narrow space again. His eyes, which had finally adapted to the darkness,
suddenly lost their light. He seemed to have lost his backbone.
Leo subconsciously moved closer to Madison.
Madison did not realize that something was wrong. She snorted coldly. “You have your phone. If you
really can’t stay in this dark place, take your phone. Don’t get too close to me!”
Leo didn’t say anything, but his breathing became heavier.
Madison finally realized something and turned to look at him.
When her pupils adjusted to the light in the elevator, she saw Leo’s uneasy face and his clenched fists.
She seemed to have discovered something fun and suddenly smiled. “Leo, so you’re afraid of the
dark?”
What a surprise.
No one would believe that the CEO of Palmer Group, who was in charge of strategizing, was afraid of
the dark!
Madison could not help but smile. Her embarrassment from being teased by Leo earlier had been
swept away.
“It’s okay. There’s always something to be afraid of. You have to be strong.”
She did not tease him anymore. She just reached out and patted Leo’s shoulder before returning to her
original spot.
He teased her, and she teased him back, so the two of them were even.
She would always reconcile with herself.
“Madison…”
After staying in the darkness for a while, the man beside her finally could not help but speak. His voice
returned to its previous tiredne
“Can you take my phone out for me?”
Madison ignored him and turned around. He did not expect Leo to be so serious.
Claustrophobia.
A professional term for psychoanalysis suddenly appeared in her mind.
She also realized that Leo might not be afraid of the dark, but claustrophobic.
However, didn’t people who had such symptoms usually suffer some inhuman punishment and were
always locked up in a small black room?
Although Edgar and Amber were too strict with Leo and had arranged everything for him since he was
young, they shouldn’t have locked him up, right?
However, Madison did not have time to think. Afraid that Leo would lose consciousness in the darkness
again, she quickly reached for his phone.
“Leo, hold on! I’ll turn on the light immediately!”
However, the more anxious she was, the more flustered she became.
If she only wanted light, she could have just taken out her phone. However, she subconsciously
listened to Leo’s instructions and took his phone.
Madison also thought of this when the weight on her shoulder came again.
‘Why didn’t I just take out my phone?’ she thought.
What was even more despairing was that the man did not seem to have any
consciousness this time. She was not prepared to help him up. She fell heavily to the ground with Leo,
making a loud sound.
Madison also knocked the back of her head and felt her vision go blank.
When she opened her eyes, there was also a dazzling light.
The elevator doors opened.
Madison had never thought that such an embarrassing thing would happen to her.
Her hair was disheveled, and there was a tall man on top of her. They were lying on the ground in a
sorry state and were surrounded by a group of people.
She even wanted to die..
When the weight on her body moved away, she propped herself up on her elbows and sat up in the
narrow space. Her mind was still muddled.
“Jessica, are you alright?”
It was Joe who squeezed through the staff, his face full of worry.
The moment she saw Joe, she finally could not hold back her grievance of being trapped in the
elevator. With tears in her eyes, she threw herself into Joe’s arms.
“What took you so long? I’ve been in there for a long time.”
“It was you who snuck out alone without telling anyone. I couldn’t get through to your phone. It was
Samuel who found you according to your phone’s last location,” Joe said.
Although it was safer in the country, who knew if it would be dangerous? After all, John had been
kidnapped when he was young.
Joe was a little angry. However, when he saw her aggrieved expression, he could not help but coax
her. “Alright, alright. Fortunately, the elevator is only stuck. It’s not a big deal.”
Madison nodded as well. She pulled Joe to her side and asked him to look down at her broken high
heels. “My shoes are broken…”

Joe was so angry that he laughed. He patted her head and said, “I’ll buy a you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a h oa rse and low yoice behind him.
“Mrs. Palmer, the shoes were broken because of me. Even if you want to ask somebody.
