Madelyn felt her back go numb and could barely hold on. When they reached the 85th floor, the door suddenly opened. "Sir, Miss, you can take the elevator." Madelyn's face turned bright red, not expecting someone to appear. Zach, seeing her flushed face, said with a playful tone, "She prefers it this way." The person who had opened the door was oblivious to the situation beneath Madelyn's dress.
"So, still resisting?" Zach said, giving her a playful shake.

Suddenly, Madelyn had an idea and decided to change her approach. She leaned fully against his shoulder, a move that seemed to please him. It was uncommon for her to initiate such closeness. She let go with her legs that were tightly wrapped around his waist. What began as an embrace transitioned to him hoisting her over his shoulder.
"You're smarter now." Zach patted her hip.
Seizing her chance, Madelyn quickly got away from him and dashed off. Zach took a moment to tidy himself with a handkerchief, adjusted his attire, and discarded it in a trash can nearby. He then made his way upstairs, one hand casually in his pocket.
Madelyn frantically searched for the keycard, then it hit her - she didn't have it. As Zach approached her, she looked away in annoyance and busied herself with straightening her clothes.
The door beside her opened unexpectedly, revealing Kevin and Cecilia. They seemed engrossed in a private conversation.

Zach replied nonchalantly, "Hmm." Cecilia shot a cold glare at Madelyn, who acted as if she hadn't seen. The hostile stare unsettled Madelyn, but deep down, she felt a hint of satisfaction. In her past life, when she was still Zach's wife, Cecilia would openly flirt with him in her presence, making her feel invisible. Now the tables had turned. Even if she no longer cared for Zach, she wanted Cecilia to feel the sting of losing someone dear.
Kevin quietly made his way to his room, wanting no part in the impending . After he left, Cecilia's attention shifted back to Zach. "Zach, can we talk? In private.” Zach took out the keycard from his pocket, and Madelyn snatched it. She unlocked the door, trying to shut it behind her. But Zach blocked it with his foot. "Why so hasty? Go freshen up. I'll join you later.” Madelyn retorted, "Don't bother.” "Oh?" Zach looked at her sharply.
She feigned surrender. "Fine, whatever." Only then did Zach retract his foot and turn to Cecilia's room. As the door closed, Madelyn had never hoped so strongly that Cecilia would keep Zach in her room tonight. She turned around and propped everything movable against the door. She wouldn't let him in even if he tried to use a saw.
Thinking about what had just happened in the emergency stairwell, Madelyn felt the need to cleanse herself. She removed her dress and headed to the bathroom to wash up multiple times.
