Thanks to the early morning drama that almost ruined her day, Lola arrived at the office a few minutes past resumption time.

Hurriedly walking down the reception hall to the elevator while acknowledging the pleasant greetings from some known colleagues, Lola observed a pretty young lady strutting elegantly towards the CEO's elevator.

"Where have I seen this lady before?" Lola pondered as she stood in front of the elevator door, wishing the lady could turn in her direction.

Like a sorcerer who could predict people's wishes, this lady tilted her head and glanced in Lola's direction, wearing a puzzled look on her round face.

"Are you going up?" The gentle voice of a man rapped in Lola's ears, causing her to break free from the other lady's hypnosis.

"Umm...yeah!" Lola beamed in appreciation at the man, who seemed taken by her captivating smile.

"What floor are you going to?" The man asked in a friendly tone.

"Ninth floor," Lola replied.
