Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 255 A Tight, Warm Hug

Did Cedric not eat? He waited in the hall just to deliver the files to her?

“Ah, sorry, sorry, I seem to be a bit too talkative.” The housekeeper immediately apologized. ” Ms. Maia, please rest early.”

“Okay.” Maia nodded and the housekeeper returned to her work post.

Maia looked at the envelope in her hand and then glanced at the trash can outside, filled with cigarette butts. When did Cedric become such a heavy smoker? She pursed her lips, feeling the weight of the envelope as if it were a thousand pounds, making it difficult for her to hold.

She lowered her eyes and muttered softly to herself, “Maia Burgess, what were you thinking? He has nothing to do with you.” Then, she walked quickly to the elevator and went upstairs.

As the elevator slowly ascended, a man emerged from the shadows. The housekeeper, upon seeing him, respectfully called out, “Mr. Cedric.”

Cedric nodded slightly, not saying a word. He just stared at the elevator ascending floor by floor.

He hadn’t forgotten that he had seen Maia being escorted home by Nigel, so they had been together since the end of “The Quest.” Thinking about this, a raging fire surged within him, threatening to burst out. People around him couldn’t help but step back in fear.

However, at this moment, the lights in the corridor flickered. The next second, darkness enveloped everything. The elevator, which was ascending, came to an immediate stop. The number ten on the display disappeared.

“What’s going on?” Cedric’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he coldly questioned.

“A power outage. I’ll immediately contact the maintenance personnel!” The housekeeper acted swiftly, quickly dialing a number.

Cedric’s expression turned grim. He made the fastest response, rushing towards the stairs. He hadn’t forgotten that the elevator had stopped on the tenth floor, and she was still inside!

“Mr. Cedric!” Baz saw Cedric heading towards the stairs and immediately realized something was wrong. “Ms. Maia just got into the elevator not long ago, and now there’s a power outage. She must still be in the elevator. We need to get professional help quickly!”

Baz watched the housekeeper dialing the phone and urged, “Hurry up! If Ms. Maia has the slightest mishap, no one can afford the consequences!”

The consequences of Cedric going berserk were unimaginably terrifying. Meanwhile, Maia had been trapped in the elevator for about two minutes.
