After walking into the elevator, Xu Wennuan immediately pressed the button to Lu Bancheng's floor; she did it quickly before she had a chance to back out.
After the elevator door closed, she gripped her purse handle tighter as she stared at the numbers on the panel light up red one after the other. When the elevator reached his floor, a ding sounded, and the door opened. Xu Wennuan walked out of the elevator and walked steadily on her high heels down the hall to Lu Bancheng's apartment.
After staring at the familiar door, she took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell. A pleasant ringtone played before she heard footsteps inside approaching the door. Her heart and lungs seemed simultaneously to stop working, and her palms started to sweat.
As soon as the footsteps stopped, she heard the doorknob twist and took half a step back as the heavy red metal safety door was pushed open. A sliver of a girl's face appeared in the crack of the open door. "Who is it?"
