Isabel went up the floors, her heart pounding with anxiety as the elevator emptied on the sixteenth floor, leaving her alone.
Unconscious as the elevator came to a stop, she was abruptly pulled back to reality by a familiar voice calling, "Sister Isabel."
Turning her head, she saw Percy Stanton standing at the elevator exit, holding Raymond Thompson by his collar.
Isabel was truly surprised by this unexpected encounter with Percy at such a moment.
She hadn't seen him for many days; it had only been four days, but it felt like an eternity.
The man looked somewhat tired, with a short stubble on his chin, completely different from his usual elegant and refined image.
However, he still looked incredibly handsome, his eyes deep and captivating.
Gazing at Percy, Isabel didn't know whether to smile and say hello or walk past him like a stranger.
