Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 147

"What happened? Why did the elevator stop?" Janet anxiously shouted.

The elevator had come to a jerky halt just as she thought she could escape soon.

Janet was not in the mood to care about Brandon anymore. She reached out to touch the buttons of the elevator. Just then, she accidentally touched a slender hand.

"Sorry." She heard Brandon's resonant voice.

It looked like their hands had collided as the two had reached out to press the buttons.

"It doesn't matter. I... I just wanted to press the emergency button." Frightened, Janet withdrew her hand.

She could feel Brandon's breath blowing against her. She guessed Brandon was standing right behind her.

After a moment's pause, Brandon said, "I guess something has been wrong with the circuit ever since the power went off yesterday."

Then, he pressed all the buttons, including the emergency button. But there was no response.

"What should we do now? Should we call someone?"

Janet looked at her phone and was about to call for help but stopped on second thought. She thought maybe Brandon could be the one to make the call. After all, he was the CEO of the Larson Group. Since he was trapped in the elevator, the staff would take it more seriously and come to their rescue immediately.

"Hmm." Ethan turned around, took out his phone, and called someone for help. He briefed the situation and hung up the phone.

"Don't worry. The maintenance personnel said they would arrive soon."
