章 1040: Hated to ruin the illusion

She almost had a heart attack as the door opened. It was like someone held her heart and squeezed it tightly, and something sucked the air out of her lungs. She knew she had to get away as her mind tried to find a way to escape her fate.

Then, she almost screamed when he looked up and said her name. She was about to run to the emergency exit, not caring if it was a long way down to the ground floor. But a hand stopped her.

"Hey, Ria." The man greeted her. Just like her, it seemed he was surprised to see her too. Gradually, his voice registered in her mind, making her realize who he was.

When she focused her eyes on his face, it confirmed that he was not her ex, making her expel a sigh of relief. Quickly, she inhaled a large amount of her, filling her almost empty lungs before she fainted due to lack of oxygen. She could feel that her body was already hyperventilating.
