“Bryant Group is a sizable company. How could it possibly have such a problem? Is there anywhere that is truly

“I am not afraid!”
Suddenly, Loraine staggered again and was firmly supported by Marco’s hand.
She was embarrassed, so she kept quiet and followed him.
Marco soon led her to a corner and said, “Wait here for me. I'll go check to see if the emergency switch works.”
His tone was soft, and Loraine could feel it. She was going to ask him if he needed her to help check the switch,

Marco walked away. At first, Loraine could hear his footsteps, but as tpassed, she could not.

“Marco? Are you there?”
Silence filled the room.
