Eve bolted straight for the elevators.
Her hand furiously tapped on the up button as if it could speed up the lift's descent. Adrenaline course through her blood. Her senses were on hyper alert. When the elevator still had halfway to go, she let the button go.
Instead, her legs paced around while her eyebrows scrunched together.
'What… What was that?' She asked in her head. They were in the car. Both of their security teams had their eye on them. The windows were also heavily tinted. There was little to no chance for someone to spot them inside.

Eve shivered. Ambryan's touch lingered on her ear. She felt it grow hot so she used her cold hand to cool it off. Goosebumps rose at the back of her neck. Were her ears actually this sensitive?

Have a good day!
