At this moment, it happened to be the morning rush hour, and many people took the elevator. The elevator almost stopped on every floor, so Joe and Chad waited for several minutes before the elevator returned to the first floor, and then it took them another two minutes to reach the eighth floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, both of them quickly turned around instinctively.
Because they ran into Nicole again.
She was making a call two meters away from the elevator.
"Are you two getting off or not? Don't waste our time, okay? I'm almost late."
After being urged by someone, the two of them walked backward out of the elevator, and then slipped sideways into the corridor.
"Did she see us, Chad?"
"No, she didn't turn around."
