She follows him into the special elevator, and every time she faces Charlie, she feels very panic, especially when they are in this closed space. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Have you found any money on the floor?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” She looks up dumbly, unable to understand him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You are so scared of me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No… no.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why do you keep your head down?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I am used to it…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Really?” Charlie clearly does not believe her. He suddenly leans forward, traps her in the corner of the elevator, and says hotly, “Just look at me like this for a minute.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She puts her arms around her chest, as if to guard against him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t you say you’re not afraid of me? Then do what I say.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This is a blatant provocation. She raises her chin, thinking, “I’m here to help him. I need to be confident!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After insisting on it for a few seconds, Charlie’s body leans a little forward again. His perfume mixes with the smell of tobacco, making her face instantly brushes… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His breath is getting closer. Feeling dizzy for a while, Karin is almost going to faint. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She keeps to maintain her persistence, not willing to admit defeat, but Charlie’s face gradually becomes clear. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What is he doing… What is he doing… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her heart beats so fast, and she doesn’t dare to look at him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He says near her ear, “You look so cute when you are blushed.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
For a moment, her legs soften and fall straight down. Charlie reaches out to catch her on time. As a result, she gets trapped in his arm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With a beep, the elevator door opens, and she jumps out hurriedly, panting heavily. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What happened just now?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Charlie stares at her with a smirk. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m a little hypoglycemic.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He couldn’t help laughing, “I think you would say you have fear of heights.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fear of heights? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She just remembered why the elevator doesn’t stop for a long time. She hurriedly goes to the window and looks out, and she is shocked by the heights. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why did you set the office building so high. Do you work at the sky?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He walks to her, looks forward, and confidently says, “The higher you stand, the farther you can see.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But don’t you worry about the earthquake?” She teases. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“If there is an earthquake, what is the difference between the tenth floor and the ninety-nine floor?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Karin is silent at his words… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Into Charlie’s office, her first expression is luxury. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The brightly colored Persian carpet is oft. There is no sound when stepping on it. On the snow-white walls hangs a precious oil painting. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Please take you seat.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Charlie points to the wide sofa. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Karin sits down and glances over the coffee table on a magazine with the cover of Charlie’s photo, but the date is not new, in August of two years ago. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She looks for a few seconds and says casually, “You are handsome when you are young.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Charlie was a bit surprised by her words. He sits next to her and frowns, “When I was young? Am I that old?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, no, you look very young now.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I am young.” He pauses, “Do you know how old I am?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then do you know how your words hurt me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sorry. Don’t take it seriously…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Karin blinks her innocent eyes, her expression is pitiful, but in fact, she is clever. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You are taking revenge on me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” She quickly denies, “Why should I avenge you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You really didn’t?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Charlie’s face sinks, “Close your eyes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Usually when a person lies, if he closes his eyes for a minute and then opens them again, and the lie will be self-defeating.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s unbelievable.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You are fear?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No. Well. I just close my eyes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She closes her eyes and reminds him to watch the time, “Remember to watch the time, I opens it in a minute.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It is good.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One minute is actually quite short, but if you stay with Charlie, it will look longer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why do you want to take revenge of me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“In the elevator, you…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She blushes, “I had low blood sugar. It has nothing to do with you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Really? Why do I think that you will feel nervous as soon as I get close to you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sure. I’m a girl, you are so close to me. How can I not be nervous?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then what do you mean. Are you nervous when any man approaches you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Include Robert?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Karin is embarrassed. How can she tell him that she is not… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She can’t tell the truth, otherwise she traps herself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Do you think that with your eyes closed, I can’t see your nervousness?” Charlie’s voice suddenly approaches, “You are not, right?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She just wants to deny it. Suddenly, her forehead is kissed softly, and so quickly that she thinks she makes a mistaken… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Opening her eyes, she looks at the man in shock that she can’t ask him any question. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Charlie is very calm, without a trace of offensive guilt, as if the girl in front is his. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
