Yoyo curled up in the quilt and felt as if she had been crushed by a wheel. After that, she understood how difficult it was to escape by her own from Nick’s control.

But what could she do? She could do nothing but staying with this beast-like person for six months? The very thought brought Yoyo out in a cold sweat.

After the exhaustion of escape, coupled with the toss of Nick, Yoyo had completely worn out; nothing could resist the sleepiness. Nick went out somehow, and Yoyo drifted off.

Nick was in the next room, telling Hollinda the security around the house. Although Yoyo had been caught, he remained confused.

The given condition is good enough, isn’t it?

Being his girlfriend for six months and eating and living with him. How many women badly wanted that? Although this woman tried to land on his bed, she did not seem very willing to be his girlfriend. This contradiction made Nick even more confused. What’s her purpose? Or… no purpose in fact?

It was late at night, and Nick went back to his room. He thought Yoyo was back to her own room. When seeing the weak figure curling up on the bed, his heart still shook.

Yoyo’s soft and white legs were wrapped in half by silky sheets. He could see the white skin, those dazzling blue bruises, on the shoulders with his handprint, which looked incompatible with the woman’s beautiful skin.

Nick took off his coat and sat beside the bed. The faint light shone on the tears of Yoyo’s face. It seemed that the woman cried herself to sleep last night. Nick didn’t want to think too much of it and fell asleep beside Yoyo.

When he was tucking, his hand accidentally touched Yoyo’s neck, an electric current ran through his body, and he was kindled again. On ripping off Yoyo’s quilt, his mind flashed through her painful look. And saw those bruised, his heart suddenly softened. Although he tried to take the tenderness from his mind, it still failed.

He took a deep breath and lay down to sleep, with his hands still around Yoyo’s waist.

The woman next to him suddenly curled up in his arms, just like a kitten. This action stiffened Nick. Yoyo was like seeking protection and let Nick’s arms wrapped herself. She slept soundly, breathed evenly, patted Nick’s neck and emitted a light fragrance.

Nick stopped looking at her and tried to calm himself down to sleep.

Yoyo didn’t know how long she slept. When she opened her eyes, she found herself was in Nick’s bed. Nothing happened yesterday, and the pain on her body eased up after a night’s deep sleep. She sat up and looked at the empty room.

"The beast did not come last night." Yoyo felt a little lucky.

She had just got out of bed and was going to find a dress to wear; there came a sound of the door. When she jumped back into the bed, her legs knocked fiercely on the edge of the bed.

"Oops…" It did hurt.

"You are dying to death, in six months?" Nick came in and sneered.

Yoyo pulled the sheet to cover her body in a flurry. She was frightened to pale, but still forced to be calm.

"It’s better to die than to be tortured by you!"

"How bored. Die in my hands will be much more interesting." Then he walked a few steps forward to the bed, with a playful expression on his face, "Do everything possible to get into my bed, how can I let you go easily?"

"You! Stop!" She tried to retreat, but went back to the bedside.

Seeing Yoyo’s fear, Nick snorted, "Wash yourself!"

Then he left.

Yoyo looked at the things on the bed. They were some medicines for diminishing swelling and bathrobes. She clenched her lips and took them into the bathroom.

When Yoyo tidied herself up, Nick was ready for work. She chose a dress to hide the traces on her neck and wore trousers to cover the bruises on her legs.

There was nothing to do in the company for her, and because of her identity, no one wanted to get close to her. Whether Yoyo went to the printing room or the tea room, she could see others talking about her in private on the way, which made her very depressed.

In just a few days, Yoyo felt like herself crushed. Few people spoke to her in the company during the day, and Nick tortured her when she returned at night…

These days, Yoyo was extremely exhausted. All hell broke loose for a little thing. She suddenly felt that everything around her was pressing toward her, whether the walls, the sound of her colleagues’ high heels, or the whispers of others.

"Escape!"

The idea occurred to her like lightning. Although it was not easy to escape from Nick’s house, Yoyo could still walk around in the company, and the company was in the city. It was not so easy to find after she hides.

Yoyo looked at the watch. 10:50. Ten minutes before the time to meet Nick. That is, there were still ten minutes left for her to leave the building.

Yoyo looked around; no one was staring at her. She could pretend to come for Nick and take the elevator to leave. She got up and went toward the elevator with her heart beating violently.

In the elevator, Yoyo watched the number of descending floors.

I made it!

But suddenly, a loud noise sounded and the elevator fell into darkness.

Yoyo was shocked by the sudden change. Now, all in darkness. She calmed herself down, took out her cell phone from her bag and turned on the flashlight. The dazzling light made her feel better.

It seemed that there was no electricity and the emergency telephone on the elevator had been cut off!

Yoyo quickly took out her cell phone to make a phone call, but there was no signal at all! The phone couldn’t be dialed! What’s worse, the mobile phone didn’t charge last night, so it showed that the phone was about to shut down by itself!

"How could it be?!" Yoyo was completely hopeless, but in a company like Deaho, when an elevator breaks down, it will surely be noticed. Therefore, Yoyo calmed down and waited for save.

In Nick’s Office.

"Sir, the power supply has been cut off. Should I take Miss Ye out?" Hollinda asked.

"No. Just wait. It’s time to tame this wild cat."

Nick stared at Yoyo on the computer screen, helpless. He pinched his fist.

Yoyo hardly eaten since yesterday, and her cell phone had been turned off due to the lack of electricity. She stayed in the dark elevator, cold and hungry. It was many hours before her consciousness blurred…

Nick ordered that nobody could use this elevator at that time, so no one else found Yoyo was trapped.

Nick saw Yoyo curled up in the corner of the elevator and thought of the bruises on her body last night. He felt something was wrong. She can’t survive!

Nick rushed out of the office and ordered to restart the elevator. He ran to Yoyo as fast as he could. He arrived, out of breath, opened the elevator, rushed in and lifted Yoyo toward his office. The cold body stung him slightly.

Yoyo felt warmth wrapped around. She opened her eyes in a blur of consciousness. "Nick..." Nick’s heart missed a beat when hearing her voice, which was almost invisible.

Those people in the company saw their cold and abstinent president holding his girlfriend and shuttling around the company, they could not help but discuss about it.

"Good for her. When did we see Mr.Qin like this?"

"Yeah, just look, poor and sour. I can’t imagine what kind of medicine she had used..."

Nick didn’t have time to take care of those words. He took Yoyo to the office as fast as he could, put her on the sofa gently. His forehead was dripping with sweat.

"Call a doctor!" Nick snapped at Hollinda, who was so frightened that almost dropped his cell phone.

It was not until the doctor arrived that Nick stopped pacing back and forth in the office, looking steadily at the doctor during the treatment.

"Nothing serious, she was just too tired recently. What’s more, she has a weak constitution and some colds. And there is..."

The doctor’s expression was somewhat awkward.

"Is what?" Now, Nick was too irritable to hear hesitation.

"Um... Just take control. Miss Ye’s is a little weak and her nutrition is not up to date in the near future. I understand that you’re good enough, but Miss Ye may not be able to stand the…"

"I see. It’s enough!"

It was the first time that someone said that to Nick. The doctor might have seen those bruises.

Everyone confused that Nick wasn’t interested in women before, but now the doctor persuaded him to take control?!

"I’ve prescribed some medicine and I’ll have it delivered. After a few days, Miss Ye will be better!" The doctor finished and left.

Nick stared at the woman lying on the sofa. What the hell are you doing for?

Nick was getting more and more confused about her.

These days he had almost turned Yoyo’s information upside down, even her growing experience. But nothing was suspicious, and she had already been fired from her original company.

What’s her purpose exactly?

Or… leaving from the original company was a cover-up. She just wanted to get Nick’s confidence?
