CHAPTER 500 ELEVATOR ACCIDENT

Henry glanced at her, then stretched out his hand to shake her hand. "Miss Smith."

A senior executive who didn't know Yvonne couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Lancaster, who is this?"

Henry put his hand down. "This is the director of Smith Group’s Energy company, Miss Shannon Smith.”

When they heard that Yvonne was actually the director of the energy company, all of the senior executives were surprised to see her. It was hard to believe that such a young woman would be in charge o f such an important company.

Yvonne calmly greeted everyone even when faced with dozens of pairs of eyes. "Hello everyone, I'm Shannon Smith.”

Her demeanor, as well as her self-confidence that she exuded made everyone believe in her identity.

Someone flattered her. "Hello, Ms. Smith. You are really young and promising. Unlike us, we’re too old to climb to that position at such old age. It's indeed incomparable, incomparable.”

Yvonne said with a smile, "You’re being humble. If you're here, you're all excellent talents. You don't have to belittle yourself."

When she said this, the people who were present felt comfortable and complimented that she could speak very well.

Henry sat in the middle and didn’t speak. He observed the entire situation in silence, and his cognition of Yvonne improved a lot.

This woman was indeed not an ordinary person. She successfully won the hearts of the senior executives and was accepted by them with just a few words. 1

He had to say that this woman was really smart.

Yvonne called Henry all of a sudden, "Mr. Lancaster!"

Henry gathered his thoughts, raised his eyes, and looked at her. "What's the matter?"

Yvonne smiled at him, "Can we start the meeting now?"

Henry looked at his watch and saw that it was time. H e nodded slightly. "Yes."

After he spoke, the meeting room became quiet immediately and everyone stopped talking.

Seeing this scene, Yvonne’s eyes flashed a dark light, and she was amazed at Henry's dignity in the Lancaster Group.

He was more dignified compared to six years ago.

Of course. She had matured-how could she not make any progress?

Yvonne laughed at herself.

The meeting began.

It was a very important meeting. It could be regarded a s the beginning of a scientific and technological revolution. The production of new energy vehicles showed that the old motor vehicles had entered the beginning of elimination. Therefore, everyone in the meeting room looked very serious and they listened carefully.

And the meeting was very long too. It took almost three hours before it ended.

They hadn’t had such a long meeting for a long time, but no one looked tired. Some of them were filled with excitement and participation, looking forward to the birth of new energy vehicles.

Everyone knew that as long as the new energy vehicles were made for the public, the Lancaster Group's value would double and its ranking in the world’s top 500 would be increased by at least a hundred. They would make a lot of money by that time, so naturally, no one would feel tired from this meeting.

When everyone in the meeting room was almost dispersed, Henry suddenly walked up to Yvonne and said, "Miss Smith, did you receive the test results yesterday?"

Yvonne was sorting out the documents in front of her. When she heard his question, she nodded. "Yes, the test results went well."

"That’s right, so I specially assigned a production line t o work overtime to let them spend the whole night manufacturing the body of the new energy vehicle. Would you like to have a look, Miss Smith?" Henry looked at her.

Yvonne looked surprised. "Of course I want to see it since the body can be done so soon. This is about the interests of our companies. I must first see if the body conforms to my standards."

"It'll satisfy you, Miss Smith. Please." Henry made a gesture of invitation.

Yvonne wasn't modest. After smiling at him, she walked out of the meeting room.

Outside the meeting room, Henry caught up with her and walked side by side with her.

When they arrived at the elevator while waiting, Henry looked at the bag she carried, and a touch of disappointment which he didn't even know flashed in his eyes. "Did Miss Smith not use the bag I gave you?"

Yvonne was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why he suddenly paid attention to her bagel, but she didn’t think much about it. She replied with a smile, "That bag doesn't match the color of my clothes I'm wearing today, so I have to change to another bag. Otherwise, my clothes won't stand out and it'll look rather cheap.”

Henry nodded thoughtfully. "Miss Smith knows about fashion design?"

Yvonne lowered her eyes and said quietly, "I studied fashion design for some time, but then something happened. I keep thinking about revenge, so I gave up." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"I see," Henry responded and said nothing.

At this time, the elevator arrived. The elevator door opened with a ding.

Henry motioned Yvonne to get in first.

Yvonne had no objection and walked into the elevator.

Henry followed her in, and Joe was the last to enter.

After entering, Joe went to the corner and stood still, continuing to act as the invisible man, leaving the space for the two of them.

He thought they would carry on the conversation, but who knew it would be all quiet after entering the elevator? The atmosphere in the huge elevator was awkwardly quiet.

All of a sudden, the lights in the elevator flickered as if they were going to go out and there was the sound of electrical static.

Yvonne frowned. "Is the elevator broken?"

Henry looked up. When he was about to answer, the elevator suddenly shook violently.

Yvonne screamed in fright. She was wearing high heels, so she couldn't stand still when she was frightened and her body rushed forward.

Seeing that her forehead was about to hit the elevator door, an arm suddenly reached out to her, grabbed her waist, and pulled her back.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound.

Yvonne hit a steaming hot chest with her back.

It was Henry’s!

He saved her. He pulled her over when she was about t o be knocked down.

Realizing this, Yvonne's eyes widened for a long time and it took a while for her to regain her consciousness. She frowned tightly and she seemed t o be unable to accept that Henry had saved her. Her expression was a bit unsightly. "Mr. Lancaster, you...”

"Don't move!" Noticing that the woman in his arms wanted to break away, he warned in a low voice, "The elevator isn't fixed yet!”

As if in response to his words, the elevator shook again.

Yvonne lurched forward once again.

However, Henry's hand had been hanging around her waist, so it wasn’t as bad as earlier.

But they couldn’t go on like this. Henry supported the elevator wall with one hand and held her with the other. She couldn't stand still and was frightened by the elevator from time to time. Every time

she trembled, he would use more strength to hold her tightly. He couldn't hold on for too long with one arm.

And now his arm was aching.

Henry's handsome face sank slightly. After thinking about it, he simply put down the hand that supported the elevator wall and put his arm around Yvonne's waist with the other hand. With her astonished gaze, h e held her and spun her to the corner of the elevator.

This way, Yvonne's back faced the elevator wall and Henry was in front of her.

Henry put his hands on Yvonne's shoulders, confining her between the elevator and his body to protect her from being shaken out since she couldn’t stand still anymore.

"Mr. Lancaster...”

"Don't worry!" Henry looked down at the pale woman i n front of him. A scene flashed in his mind and he subconsciously said, “I'll protect you!"

Hearing this, Yvonne’s pupils trembled, then she lowered her head without responding.

Protect her?

Could he do it?
