My Waste Husband

Chapter 96

On the top floor of the Lins Building.

Sylvia looked at the darkness in front of her. The vase that broke moments ago was enough to make her panic.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the sky had completely darkened, and the whole building was empty.

Sylvia didn't remember how long she had not worked overtime until this late. Although she was very enthusiastic in her work, she was not very interested in working overtime. The reason was simple. She was afraid of the dark!

She didn't know when she got this problem. The darkness would make her scared, and even when she slept, she would turn on the bedside lamp.

Today was an exception. The project of the four hospitals was of utmost importance to the Lins Group. When she was busy, she forgot the time. It was not until the office lights went out that she realized that it was already dark.

The sudden darkness made Sylvia panic. She pressed the switch a few times, and the originally bright chandelier did not respond at all. She then remembered that today secretary Lee told her that at nine o'clock in the evening, the whole CBD should be checked on the equipment, and all the power would be cut off.

The entire building was empty. Sylvia walked out, and her high heels clicked on the ground. The sound spread out and came back from the end of the corridor, which made her heart beat faster.

The black corridor in front of her seemed to have no end, and it led to the abyss.

Sylvia's heart beat fast. Her cell phone was completely out of power and was completely turned off, so it couldn't give her any light.

Sylvia held the wall with her little hands and walked slowly forward. The elevator was completely powered off, so she couldn't use it. She could only use the stairs.

When she opened the fire door of the stairs, a wet smell came to her face. The huge echo came to her ear, which scared her so much that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Even if she was a big man, she would be afraid when walking alone in the dark building, let alone mentioning a person, especially a woman who was afraid of the dark.

She looked at the dark stairs in front of her. Her legs seemed to be filled with lead and she did not dare to go down. In the darkness, it seemed that something terrible would appear at any time.

Sylvia took several deep breaths, plucked up her courage and walked toward the stairs.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind her.

She screamed and suddenly looked back. It turned out that the fire door she just opened was closed. Sylvia felt that her heart was going to jump out of her throat.

It was dark all around. Her body was trembling unconsciously. The humid environment and the high heels under her feet made her feel insecure.

Sylvia held the stairs with her little hands and walked down step by step. A cool breeze came from behind her, which made her shiver. If she could see clearly, she would find that her face was pale. She was really scared and dared not look back. She could only let the cold wind blow on her back. She felt that she was going to break down in the darkness. Every time the high-heeled shoes under her feet touched the ground, they would make a "squeaky" sound, echoing in the corridor.

The broom at the foot of the wall, like a strange villain, waved his hands at Sylvia.

Her eyes were wet unconsciously, and her heart was in her throat all the time. She never felt helpless like she was now.

All of a sudden, a beam of light appeared in front of her eyes, and the black shadow extended from the light and disappeared into the darkness again.

Sylvia screamed again, turned her head, and ran upstairs.

"President Lin?" Henry's magnetic voice rang out.

His voice, like the light shining with a yellow halo in the Lonely Sea, surrounded Sylvia like a warm ball.

"Hen... Henry?" Sylvia stopped, and her voice was full of surprise.

"It's me." Henry turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and walked up the stairs. His figure gradually became clear in Sylvia's sight.

The moment she saw Henry, she had an impulse to throw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Sylvia reached her hand, wiped her tears, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Henry smiled and said, "You haven't come home so late, so I came to see you. Is there a blackout in this building?"

"Well, power outages." Sylvia nodded, and the corners of her mouth naturally relaxed. At the moment when Henry appeared, all the fear in her heart disappeared.

"All right, now I know why the building is dark. I'll go to the front and light it up for you." Henry used the phone in his hand, and the light shone on the corridor. He walked downstairs with his back to Sylvia.

Looking at the light in front of her, Sylvia suddenly felt a trace of sweetness in her heart.

The door of the Lins Building could be opened from the inside, and Sylvia naturally ignored the question of how Henry came in.

Anna's car was parked in the parking lot. When she saw Sylvia and Henry coming out together, she was not surprised and greeted them as usual.

Sylvia sat in the car with her little red face. What happened just now was her secret.

When a person had a good impression of a man, it was always inadvertently, inadvertently, touched over and over again. It was condensed into emotions.

The night passed quietly.

Early the next morning, Sylvia got up an hour early. This was what she had decided to do yesterday morning. She had experienced so much with Henry. Now she would feel uncomfortable if she let him do those chores again.

Sylvia, dressed in a sky-blue loose nightgown, walked around the room, but did not see Henry. A trace of doubt appeared on her pretty face.

The sound of people yawning came from outside the room.

Sylvia slightly frowned and walked out. She found that Henry was waving his fists at a tree in the courtyard. Now he was wearing shorts, shirtless, and his skin had a bronze luster. Every time Henry punched, his back muscles would bulge.

This was the first time that Sylvia had seen Henry like this. When she got up every day, she only saw him crawling on the ground and wiping the floor. She didn't know that he had the habit of punching.

The ferocious scars on Henry's back attracted Sylvia's attention. She stood at the door and looked at the man standing in the yard quietly.

After a set of boxing, Henry took a deep breath, turned around, and saw Sylvia standing at the door. He was surprised and asked, "President Lin, you are awake?"

"Mmm." Sylvia nodded, pointed at Henry's back with her slender finger, and asked, "What are those?"

"Those." Henry smiled and put on his tank top. "It's all because of my ignorance before. I liked to fight with others. Haha, I'm going to prepare some toiletries for you."

With this, Henry walked toward the house.

"No, I'll prepare it myself in the future." Sylvia subconsciously reached out and pulled Henry's arm. She could feel the warmth of the man's arm. "And... We'll do the housework together in the future."

"Hmm?" Henry looked at Sylvia's reddish cheeks and was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded and said, "Okay."
