Chapter 824: Every Second Was Torture
For some reason, this man’s body seemed to be as solid as a rock, making Diya want to lean on him.
Perhaps it was because she was unfortunate enough to become the laughingstock of everyone today, or perhaps it was because the darkness not only magnified her fear, but also made her wary of others to the lowest point.
Diya silently raised her head. In the darkness, even the outline of the other party could not be distinguished clearly.
Was this man not afraid at all?
He did not scream or tremble, as if nothing had happened at that moment.
But why did she feel that every second felt like a year?
Every second that pa.s.sed was torture?
But now that she was leaning against Ming Ye, Diya felt that the panic in her heart was slightly suppressed.
Diya cleared her throat and asked Ming Ye carefully.
“Hey, you? Aren’t you afraid?”
Diya was used to being arrogant, so her tone was relatively gentle.
Ming Ye looked down at Diya speechlessly.
What was the use of being afraid?
Ming Ye didn’t want to pay attention to Diya at first, but he thought that if he could get rid of the koala that was pulling him, it would be the best thing for Ming Ye.
Ming Ye’s expression was indifferent. He was quiet for a moment, and his voice was like the cold wind blowing on jade. It was cold and clear.
“I pressed the emergency device earlier. The elevator just fell and suddenly stopped moving. The rescuers must have found out about our current situation.”
Diya was stunned when she heard that.
When she regained consciousness, the first thing that came to her mind was not that she was happy that she would be rescued soon, but rather that she was a little surprised that Ming Ye would say so many words.
Previously, this man was so stingy with his words that every word he said would jump out. She almost thought that this man was mute!
Diya’s eyes moved slightly. She grabbed Ming Ye’s sleeve, and her expression could not hide her little joy.
“Hey, according to what you said, we will be saved!”
When Diya saw that Ming Ye suddenly ignored her again, she felt an indescribable anger in her heart.
Why was this man so stubborn?!
She was a virgin who relied on him. It was also Ming Ye’s place to take advantage of her. Why did he despise her so much!
However, when she thought about how she had leaned on him for a while, the anger in Diya’s heart gradually disappeared.
She could see that this man seemed to have some uneasiness in his bones.
She really didn’t understand why a man with such a character would choose to be a waiter!
Seeing that he had saved her, why not let her brother borrow a favor from Director Fan and transfer him out so that he wouldn’t have to live on other people’s faces in the future.
Diya was touched by her kind action. She carefully tugged on Ming Ye’s sleeve and asked softly.
“You… What’s your name?”
Perhaps because she felt the cold and independent aura from Ming Ye, Diya unconsciously lowered her posture and even deliberately tried to ingratiate herself with his tone.
After all, when a person was weak, it was always easy to develop a mysterious feeling towards some people and things.
Even if she did not speak, this woman could still chirp like a sparrow. Ming Ye was annoyed.
Ming Ye did not want to talk to Diya at all.
However, although Diya could see the tendency of Ming Ye, she only thought that Ming Ye was a shy person who did not like to communicate with others.
In the darkness, she simply mustered up the courage to say a few more words.
“Do you feel that your status is low and that you are too embarra.s.sed to talk to me?”
Diya’s expression turned cold. She reached out her hand to pull Ming Ye’s hand. She had the demeanor of a sister who would protect you in the future.
“Don’t be afraid. On account of you saving me, I will get my brother to get you out of here. If you like doing anything, I can get my brother to arrange a job for you.”
Although Ming Ye did not say anything, Diya was still talking excitedly. She was planning his future excitedly. It was as though she was too deep in character.
“You still don’t know who I am, right? I am the eldest daughter of the Siswell family, Diya. As for my brother, he is…”
How annoying was this woman?!
She actually introduced her family background!
Ming Ye’s brows were tightly knitted together. His voice was as deep as a cello, but it had a shocking power.
“There’s no need. I didn’t save you. If I had to say it, I was only saving myself.”
Hearing this, Diya was at a loss for words!
She had never seen someone as ungrateful as Ming Ye!
Who was she? She was the eldest daughter of the Siswell family, Diya. Not to mention ordinary commoners, even the young masters of the n.o.ble families would rush towards her like a swarm of bees and b.u.t.terflies when they saw her.
Why wasn’t it like that here?
The emperor’s status was higher than hers. It was fine if His Highness did not pay attention to her, but why was an ordinary waiter so cold to her!
Diya was not willing to hit a wall. She held Ming Ye’s wrist tightly, and her voice was somewhat sullen.
“I don’t care. You saved me anyway.”
Ming Ye was defeated by Diya’s divine logic. Diya’s hand had been holding on to his hand without letting go. Ming Ye pursed his lips and finally pulled his hand out forcefully.
“What are you doing?”
Diya did not expect that Ming Ye would suddenly struggle. She cried out in surprise and subconsciously used her hand to hug Ming Ye’s shoulders and neck.
It was okay to call her shameless.
It was too dark here.
It was safer to hug someone.
Especially since Ming Ye was taller than her and his speech seemed very stable.
This woman was really!
Ming Ye’s frown deepened and his voice was cold.
“I see that you are not afraid anymore. You can let go now!”
“I won’t let go.”
Diya’s voice was arrogant. She silently buried her head in Ming Ye’s arm. She was shameless to the extreme.
However, all of a sudden, the lights of the entire elevator suddenly lit up!
Diya was stunned. Before she could react, she saw that the elevator door was suddenly opened!
A loud noise came from outside the door.
“Miss Diya, are you okay?”
“Miss Diya…”
Diya’s eyes were dazzled by the sudden light. Before she could take a closer look, she felt the man who was supporting her suddenly push her away.
Diya suddenly raised her head and saw the waiter, whose clothes were covered with snot and tears, striding away.
The people around her thought that Diya was scared silly when they saw that she did not speak. They quickly reached out to help her out.
“Miss Diya, what’s wrong?”
Diya wanted to chase after him, but there were too many people blocking her way. She could not move an inch.
This man was really…
Was it necessary?!
It was rare for her to want to repay someone. She was just doing a good deed, but she was actually despised!
Diya recalled Ming Ye’s pair of bewitching emerald eyes that could suck people in at any time. It was as if she was suddenly enlightened. She suddenly remembered where the source of this familiar feeling came from!
The Persian cat that the high priest held in her arms all year round had eyes of this color.
It was really too similar!
