Zoe stared at that woman while concealing embarrassment and guilt. How could she make such a grievous mistake? She sighed. "Well! If you want to exchange then let's go to the counter. My dress is there."
That woman nodded while her daughter was standing right next to her. Looking at her daughter, she was scrutinizing at Zoe as if she was reading her every move.
Later, All of them reached at the counter and after shorting out things Zoe and her friends bidding goodbye to that mother and daughter pair.
In the lift.
Zoe's spirit was really high, she was happy she got that suit for Big Boss. However, Sasha and Bella, they didn't seem in a very fine state. There all energy got sucked. Eventually both of them were hoping for some food and water.
The lift went down good only for a second. Suddenly some problem happened and the lift stopped halfway.
Continuously, The lift started doddering after it provided a heavy push. Sasha and Bella fall down on the floor of the lift. Whereas Zoe managed to stay standing in her position. Since she placed her both hands backside and obtained help from the wall of the lift.
Sasha and Bella let out a loud scream at the time. However Zoe successfully remained her terror inside of her.
After a moment the lift stuck on the middle way. The worst was, light was turning on and off and soon after it turned off.
It was dark there now.
Bella and Sasha were sitting in opposite corners and Zoe was standing between them. The lift stopped moving after some time.
Taking some time Zoe calmed herself. It was already too dark to see any for a normal human being. But somehow Zoe was able to catch the sight of everything.
First she took her eyes on sasha, she was sitting there while biting her lower lips. Her eyes were shut and both hands on the wall of lift. Zoe moved closer as she asked. "Sasha!"
She was too afraid to reply.
Zoe touched her shoulder but she rushed her body quickly and hugged Zoe tightly. Her heartbeats were as fast as Zoe could hear it clearly Whereas her body was trembling. "It's alright! It's alright. We are fine." Zoe tried to console her.
Soon Zoe remembered about Bella. She quickly turned her head and looked at Bella. She was in the more pitiful state compared to Sasha. The drops of sweats were running down from her forehead like water. Her lips were trembling terribly while her eyes were wide open. In fact, her eyes were looking as if they had turned stable like the stones. They were full of fear, a deadly fear. Above all, Glaring ahead she was crying without any sound.
Zoe gulped up as she perceived Bella's dragging in her nails on her skin as harshly as her hand was bleeding. "Bella!" She immediately called her.
However she didn't respond.
"Sasha! Let go Bella doesn't seem okay." She softly informed sasha.
Though she was too scared to let Zoe go. But she freed her from her grasp as she heard her.
However, She grabbed Zoe's waist again as the lift went down with a flick then stopped. "Zoe!" Sasha screamed in terror.
Zoe placed her hands on the wall and forced her leg's claw against the sudden movement. In three of them, she was the only one who was in the right state of mind to find a way to get out from there.
She left all of her weight on the toe and the right hand. She took her right hand close. She was wearing the smart-watch on that hand. Hence she called Tom.
However He didn't attend her call.
Hopelessly Zoe gritted her teeth. Her both friends were frightened to death. Specially Bella whose face had turned dreadful and she wasn't able to exist in this situation.
"Sasha, that's okay we will be alright. Calm down.
Look! Bella is making weird expressions. Let me check her." Zoe slowly instructed her while placing her hand on her head and looking towards Bella.
Since Sasha was grabbing her so tightly and movement of the lift wasn't staying stable for long. So she was unable to move her body.
Above all, it was too dark which was making Sasha and Bella more scared.
Sasha didn't say anything but slowly loosened her grip.
"Hold my hand. We need to see what is wrong with her." Zoe said while offering her hand.
Sasha held her hand then released her.
As they moved close to Bella, then left again went down with a shock then stopped.
Hence, the result came out, both of them fell down on the floor.
"No.. please." All of sudden Bella started crying.
Zoe looked up from the floor and stared at Bella. She was crying mercilessly. Zoe blinked in surprise then called her. "Bella!"
As for Bella, she was in the deep shell. Zoe's voice didn't reach her. Instead she started weeping and begging. "I- I will not do it. P-Please forgive. I will not tell anyone." Bella mourned.
Zoe immediately rushed herself near to her. She tried to pick Bella's hand but slapped her hand then Stock her body backward.
"I will not talk to anyone. I will do as you say. Don't beat me. It hurts! Please Don't beat me."
Somehow Zoe found herself unable to move her body as Bella's weeping started echoing.
On the other hand, Sasha tried to calm herself as well. As she perceived Bella like that. Though she was scared to death at that place. She couldn't help but compress her fear as soon she saw Bella.
"Don't beat me please. Don't lock me here, it's too dark. Please I'll not make friends. Please I'll not talk to anyone. Please don't beat me." She was breathing heavily while her lips were non-stop trembling. Squeezing her body more and more in that corner she cried like a little child.
