Simon Sutton searched the entire building but couldn't find Melody Thorne. It wasn't until he reached the second floor that he saw his CEO had somehow managed to pry the elevator halfway open, and the sounds of cars speeding up from downstairs indicated that the elevator repairmen had arrived.
Compared to his CEO, Simon honestly felt like his own intelligence must have been bitten off by a dog. That loud noise just now was definitely the elevator—how could there be any other sounds?
"Simon!" Jared Quinn lifted the already unconscious Melody Thorne, but he couldn't get out while holding her like that.
"Right away," Simon hurriedly helped open the elevator doors a bit more.
"Clang." Suddenly, the elevator made another noise and began plummeting uncontrollably downwards.
"Boss!" Simon exclaimed in shock.
Jared's arm quickly sent Melody out onto the floor outside the elevator, but before he could get out himself, he fell with the elevator as it dropped.
