Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1301

A striking, large hand with prominent knuckles appeared in her line of sight, blocking the elevator doors just as they were about to slide shut.

The doors slowly glided open. The woman exhaled a soft breath beneath her mask and instinctively raised her eyes.

The familiar, handsome face entered her vision. As their eyes met, her grip on the insulated food container tightened, and after a fleeting second, she quickly averted her gaze.

The man's voice rang out, crisp and resonant. "Are you getting in, or am I getting out?"

Kimberley's hand trembled slightly. Had he recognized her?

Her heart fluttered. However, in the next second, she saw him raise his hand.

With his movement, a tugging sensation came from the lock of her long hair that was tangled around him, reminding her exactly what situation she was in.

"I'm afraid this might take a moment to untangle," Jerome added.

So, he hadn't recognized her at all.

He had only called out to her and asked because of this minor accident.

Kimberley had originally hoped not to be recognized, but now that he truly hadn't, an endless wave of disappointment washed over her.

She kept her head down. In her peripheral vision, the man lifted his right foot. Seeing no reaction from her, he was likely going to step out.

She couldn't let him out.

In a panic, Kimberley instinctively rushed into the elevator.

The man clearly hadn't expected her to charge in so suddenly. The result of him stepping out and her rushing in was inevitable.

The woman slammed solidly into the man's chest with a surprising amount of force.

Jerome took a step back. At the same time, the woman let out a cry of pain and raised a hand to cover her forehead.
