She kept her eyes on the red numbers as they jumped upward . When it stopped at the 16th floor , the doors opened , and a man with short purple hair stood outside . He looked a little surprised when he saw the people inside , then walked in with a polite smile . He nodded slightly to everyone before standing near the back . Only then did Keith notice that a woman was already standing quietly in the corner .

He quickly looked away and stood beside Ethan . Standing behind four tall men made Ava nervous . She thought it was a good thing she had entered first . Hiding in the corner made her feel much safer . Please , hurry up . Hurry up . She prayed silently and kept her eyes on the numbers that continued to change . When it reached the 20th floor , then the 21st , the elevator stopped again . Three men in military uniforms were waiting outside . The one in the middle was the tallest . His black uniform gave off a strong sense of authority .

Ava watched as his gaze swept across the elevator before he stepped inside without saying anything . The moment he came in , she felt like she could barely breathe . She quietly took a small breath , hoping no one would notice . But all of them had sharp hearing . The man under the military cap glanced at her with cold eyes . Ava straightened up right away and grabbed the handrail behind her so tightly that her fingers turned white . She coughed lightly to cover up her awkwardness . The atmosphere was so tense that she could hardly stand it . The five men did not step too close to her .

They even kept a small distance , leaving the space around her empty like she was in a bubble . But that only meant when she got off later , she would have to walk through all of them . It was stressful . After the doors closed again , the man wearing a mask chuckled . " Well , everyone's here . How about we sit down together later ? " No one replied .

57 Finished When the doors opened , Ava lowered her head and walked out of the corner . Every step felt heavy , and the air was filled with a strong masculine scent that made her uneasy . Someone's hand lightly pressed against the elevator door to keep it open . Ava's dress looked beautiful , but it made it hard to walk . Her boots hit the floor with a dull thud . At that moment , she regretted not wearing something sporty instead of dressing up just to look good . She could feel several eyes on her . Her heart pounded fast as she walked through the narrow path between them .

Just as she was about to step out of the elevator , she twisted her ankle . She stumbled and grabbed someone's arm for balance . A low , pleasant voice asked near her ear , " Are you alright , miss ? " His voice was deep and smooth , like fine aged wine . Ava looked up and saw that it was the gentle - looking man who seemed like a gentleman . She quickly let go , her face burning red . It was beyond embarrassing . " I'm sorry , " Ava said quickly before running out . She looked like someone being chased by a monster . When the doors closed again , Ryan laughed . " You sure speak gently .

Don't forget , you're a married man now . " Keith looked down at the sleeve she had grabbed earlier . The fabric was wrinkled . He frowned , took off his jacket , and hung it over his arm . Then he looked at Ryan . " Right back at you . " Ryan snorted . " I never agreed to this . If you want to do it , go ahead . " Ethan knew he had been in a bad mood lately and was holding a grudge , but there was no need to act so prickly . " Ryan . " Mason glanced at them and said lazily , " Since everyone's here , why don't we sit down and talk ?

" Ava had no idea that she had just met several of her potential matches in the elevator . Because she had decided to withdraw , she never really paid attention to who they were . Aside from the brief introduction Jane had given her , she knew almost nothing about their looks or personalities . That was why she had not recognized them just now . She waited on the 22nd floor for a short while before Lianne arrived . " Sorry . Have you been waiting long , Ava ? " Lianne said cheerfully as she walked over and linked arms with her . 2/3 15:37 Tue , Jan 6 Chapter 16 The Awkward Ride " It's fine .

I just got here too. " 57 Finished Lianne proudly pulled out a freshly printed photo . In the picture , a young woman was smiling brightly beside a tall , handsome man . His smile was gentle , and a bold signature was written at the bottom . " He's so nice , just like everyone said . No attitude at all . No wonder he's been famous for so many years . He's my idol ! I grew up watching his movies and shows , " Lianne said excitedly . 154 с 3/3
