Chapter 345 On the House
“Are you sure? Are you sure they really know?”
Amelie still had some doubts and lowered her head.
She was a little scared.
Lamont didn’t answer immediately, but looked down at her instead.
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen, I will protect you.
He said affectionately, looking at Amelie with fiery eyes.
“Thank you, Mr. Byron. I think I’m fine. Can you step back? After all, we are not that close.”
Amelie shrank back, trying to distance herself from him.
“What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I will eat you?”
In the dark elevator, the atmosphere was also very depressing.
Lamont showed a playful smile, but luckily Amelie couldn’t see it.
“Of course I didn’t mean that. Mr. Byron, please don’t forget that I am your future cousin-in-law.”
Amelie swallowed nervously, then looked away.
The cologne on Lamont kept waking up their memories in Amelie’s mind.
“Ms. Cisneros, you don’t have to always explain the relationship between you and me, I know that.”
As expected, Lamont let go of his hand, but Amelie could always feel his fiery gaze.
They didn’t know when the rescue team would come, and the two just stayed in this small space.
Amelie would turn on the phone from time to time, but there was no signal at all, and there was no way to call for help.
She had no choice but to turn off the phone and lowered her head with a heavy heart.
The small space and the dark environment made her more nervous.
Lamont at the side noticed something was wrong with her, so he was about to speak to ease her emotions.
“Ms. Cisneros, it’s strange to say that you and I are really destined to meet each other. How many times have we met? Thinking
about it carefully, I think this is a chance given by God.”
“A chance? I don’t think so.”
Amelie answered with her eyes closed.
Now she just wanted to get rid of the relationship with Lamont, so as not to lose control of herself.
“Really? If you don’t think so, I do.”
Lamont said with a smile, and then he directly grabbed Amelie’s hand that was placed on the railing.
“You”
“Don’t move, the two of us are dependent on each other now, we can only be thankful that the rescue team got the news,
otherwise I’m afraid we will be trapped here to death.”
“But it’s noon now, and many people will take the elevator.”
“Even so, why don’t you think about what time it is now, they haven’t got off work yet, and this is an internal elevator, and there
are very few people in it. If they find it, they will probably tell the maintenance department, but do they know that it is trapped
inside? It’s not necessarily the case with people.”
When Amelie heard such an answer, her mind sank.
After thinking about it, she didn’t break free from his hand.
“So we can only wait here to die?”
“Of course not, wait a little longer, if there is no rescue, then we will think of other
“Do you have another way?”
“Of course, I’m a genius.”
Amelie looked away, not wanting to look at his face. ways.”
Although she couldn’t see clearly in the dark, she could always feel that Lamont was smiling at her.
They didn’t know how long it had passed, but a voice came from outside the door.
Amelie immediately became excited and looked at him in surprise.
“Are we saved?”
“It seems to be true. It is the rescue team outside the elevator door at this time.”
“Comrades inside! Please be patient, we will rescue you in a moment.”
Amelie breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the two were rescued.
Amelie looked at the light outside, and suddenly became enlightened, as if she had been reborn.
She glanced at the time, it was already past twelve o’clock, and she was still a little excited at this. moment.
Amelie was always holding the documents in her arms tightly, ready to leave.
Just a few steps away, Lamont walked over.
“Ms. Cisneros, can you agree to have dinner with me now?”
“But I.”
Amelie still wanted to refuse, but Lamont spoke again.
“Why do you have to keep rejecting me? The two of us have just experienced such a disaster. Shouldn’t we celebrate?”
Lamont said with a smile.
Amelie didn’t expect him to be so resolute, and he never gave up the idea of having dinner with him.
If she refused again, she was afraid the next real estate project would not go well.
So she just nodded.
In this way, the two came to a nearby restaurant.
After the food was served on the table, Amelie picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
“These should be your favorite food, right?”
Lamont said meaningfully.
“Of course, thank you.’
Amelie said pretending to be calm, and then started eating.
The two did not speak too much.
“Lamont? Why are you here?”
Leila’s voice suddenly sounded from behind, Amelie quickly put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked over.
“Ms. Cisneros? Didn’t expect you to know my fiancé so well?”
There was another meaning in what Leila said, and Amelie could hear it.
“Ms. Aylward, I didn’t expect such a coincidence that we would meet here. We had a meeting together in the morning and
wanted to thank Mr. Byron, so I invited Mr. Byron here for lunch. I’m sorry.”
Amelie quickly found a reason.
Although Leila was very upset, he didn’t explode immediately, but sat directly beside Lamont, and even grabbed Lamont’s arm
affectionately.
“Lamont, that should be your fault, why don’t you tell me, anyway, Ms. Cisneros is our future cousin-in-law, so we can’t let her
treat you.”
Leila showed special intimacy on purpose, just to show Amelie.
“How will you be here?”
Lamont didn’t answer, but asked her instead.
“A friend came to see me and just had a meal here, what’s wrong?”
Leila said indifferently, then stared straight at Amelie.
“Ms. Cisneros, I don’t know how your cooperation is going. If the meal and the work is over, I should be able to take my fiance
away.” Leila said with a smile,
“Of course, as you wish.”
Amelie smiled awkwardly, then took a sip from the teacup in hand.
Seeing that she was still so calm on the surface, Leila didn’t become suspicious.
“Lamont, let’s go, it’s time to go back, and you promised me to accompany me to the bridal shop to choose a wedding dress this
afternoon! You must not forget.”
Leila said, pretending to be angry.
Unexpectedly, Lamont shook off her hand directly.
“What nonsense? I’m still busy, so I can’t go this afternoon. Your dad also said that there can be no mistakes in this real estate
project. I have to deal with things at the company in the afternoon. You can go by yourself first. I will naturally go to you when I
am done.”
Lamont’s tone was sullen.
