It was the last day of the guy’s business trip. He packed his suitcase and went out into the corridor. The guy went to the elevator, pressed the button. He waited for the doors to open in front of him, but instead another passenger joined him. It was a gorgeous blonde girl. She was wearing a blue dress, elegant shoes and sunglasses. She was tapping her fingers on her suitcase, apparently nervous about something. They stood and were silent. But he certainly noticed her momentary glance in his direction. The elevator arrived and the guy, like a real gentleman, let the lady go ahead. She looked at him and said “thank you” in her gentle voice.
Why haven’t we met before, because we lived on the same floor?” – at that moment the guy could not think of a better question. Probably because I’m only here for the weekend. The size of your suitcase suggests that you are here much more than me, – the girl said, emphasizing her intelligence with her answer․ – Subtly noted, – the guy said and noticed that indeed, the girl’s suitcase was half as big as his. – You probably travel for work, it’s tiring, – the girl turned out to be quite smart, – Well, yes, you always have to look good, because anyone can… – he could not finish his sentence, because the elevator suddenly stopped, the light began to blink and went out.
There was anxious darkness and silence. The guy asked: “Are you all right? She was silent. She was having an anxiety attack. – Listen, try to calm down, – I’m nearby, they must have turned off the light, after a while the emergency power will turn on. – Are you crazy? – It’s not safe here. At any moment we can fly down with the elevator and crash. The girl’s breath caught in her throat and she began to cough. – This can’t be, this is a five-star hotel. Just try to calm down, – the guy said and began to think how to distract her from the attack or help her. He found a bag in his pocket and, like a real doctor, used it as a life-saving item for breathing problems.
The girl began to breathe more evenly, the attack was weakened. Then the light came on. He helped the girl to get on her feet. She wanted to hug him, but remembered that they were almost strangers, said “thank you” and quickly left the elevator. She took a few steps, stumbled, and almost fell. The guy caught her right in the air. You saved my life for the second time today – she joked and smiled, – are you a superhero? – Yes, but don’t tell anyone. I have a superman costume under my jacket. I think you owe me a date. It will be the safest decision for you.
