The lobby of the Watson Building was grand and splendid. The black marble plate reflected the exquisite crystal chandelier hanging from the doom. Soft creamy light shed down evenly and lit up every corner of the hall. Walking in the lobby gave people a sense of superiority as if they had reached the top of the social ladder or been in heaven.
Across the lobby, there were six lifts in the corridor. Some people were waiting at the door of the lifts silently. There was no exchange of words or expressions. Everyone was staring at the changing floor number of the lifts without expression.
Marlow wasn’t used to this kind of relations between people. When he was in the army, either at home or abroad, he and his brothers bantered with each other and kept no secret from each other. This stony relationship between people sent a chill down his spine.
Finally, the lift to an even number of floors arrived at the first floor. The door of the lift opened and over twenty people poured out and dispersed within seconds as if they were hurrying to a war.
After they left, Marlow and another three young men went into the lift. When they saw Marlow pressed the 36th floor, their eyes lit up and looked at him with a mixed expression of surprise and envy. The 36th floor was exclusive to their president.
But the excitement just flashed across their faces quickly and their cultivation soon made them look apathetic.
The lift came to the eighth floor and stopped. After the door slid open, they saw many people standing outside. Among them, there was one lady who was almost as pretty as Scarlett. She wore a well-cut violet suit. Her chestnut color long hair was in a style both fashionable and unostentatious. But the most remarkable thing about her was her long legs. They were not only slender and straight but also with impeccable skin. She was not wearing stockings, but on the pale and smooth skin, one couldn’t find any dark spot or mark. Marlow’s glance swept across them and then fixed on them.
That lady seemed to be a leader in the company. When she saw the door of the lift open, she said smilingly to the others, “You go first.”
“No, Ms. Edison, you first.” The others declined out of modesty.
After some declining, the beauty who was called Ms. Edison walked into the lift first and the other people followed her in.
Because so many people got into the lift, Ms. Edison had to step back little by little. Finally, she almost bumped into Marlow’s arms when everyone got into the lift.
Marlow was a normal healthy man. With a beauty in his arms and her pale neck and perfectly-shaped collar bones exposed for his view if he looked down, he couldn’t resist the attraction. His body could almost feel her silky skin and his nose detected the pleasant scent from her. Under this stimulation, his body had a reaction.
As the lift rose steadily, Yolanda Edison could feel that something was wrong behind her back.
In the nature of things, as an extremely beautiful lady, not to mention that she was pressing tightly to a man, even the men who walked on the street would have some physical reaction to her when they saw her.
Nevertheless, she couldn’t help but get angry when she knew what was happening.
She could not openly accuse him. Her colleagues were there, if they knew what happened, how could she face them in the future?
She blushed, bit her lip and tried her best to move away to avoid physical contact with him. But the lift was full and there wasn’t space remained at all. So she was both angry and helpless.
Marlow was feeling miserable too. He did have desire for such a beauty, but of course he wasn’t a person who would harass a woman in such a dirty way. He could do nothing to his body’s normal reaction either.
At this moment, when Yolanda found the two girls on both sides of her were concentrating on their cell phones, she said in a very low voice, “Shameless bastard!”
Marlow originally was feeling guilty. Hearing what she said, he was annoyed too.
He was a head higher than she was. So he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Lady, you are mistaken. Didn’t you run into my arms voluntarily?”
Yolanda was both annoyed and humiliated. She could do nothing but just lifted her foot silently and stamped with strength on Marlow’s foot.
She didn’t want to let others know what happened, neither did Marlow. So Marlow just groaned in a low voice and clenched his teeth. But he was furious now, so he started to whisper some dirty language to Yolanda’s ear.
Yolanda couldn’t avoid him and was pissed off. Luckily it took a short while for the lift to get to her desired floor. With a ding, the lift stopped on the 20th floor.
Before walking out of the lift, she turned back to take a glance at Marlow with resentment. She wanted to remember that face and asked around which department he belonged to. She swore that she wouldn’t let him get away with it.
Marlow wasn’t afraid of her at all. When her eyes swept across him, he lifted his hand and waved at her.
The people left the lift gradually and Marlow was finally left alone in it.
When the lift came to the 36th floor, after the door slid open, he saw Lina standing outside.
Lina didn’t know that Marlow was Scarlett’s fiancé, but as Scarlett’s secretary, she had seen Marlow yesterday.
She knew Scarlett hated this man. So when she saw Marlow, she didn’t bother to put on a smile, but just asked in a businesslike tone, “Are you Mr. Marlow Williams?”
“What do you think? I remember we met each other yesterday. You look still young. You don’t have such a poor memory, do you?”
Lina ignored his ridicule and just said stiffly, “Come with me.” Then she walked ahead.
Lina was wearing a black office suit. She was about five feet and five-inch high. Her body that wrapped in the suit was full and elastic. A pair of long legs under the short tight skirt was seductive.
Of course what was most seductive was her full breasts under the tight white blouse.
Marlow didn’t observe her closely yesterday because he came in a hurry. Now that his sharp eyes rested on her, he could see that the girl not only looked great generally, but her breasts were also mountainous, perhaps just one size smaller than the policewoman yesterday.
“What are you looking at?” Turning back and finding Marlow’s burning eyes on her bosom, Lina’s face turned ugly. She furrowed her shapely brows and said, “Hurry up.”
“I was appreciating the two big mountains. Excellent views from different angles.” Marlow said with a sexy tone, keeping his eyes on the two full globes.
