Heartbeat

Bella's POV: A few minutes later, the door of the conference room opened. I saw people in suits coming out. Herbert was the last one to come out. His expression was very serious, and his lips were tightly shut. This made me very nervous. I thought, "It seems that the bid is not recruited. I better behave myself more silent at this time. Don't provoke the boss, or I'll be in trouble." "Mr. Wharton?" I walked up to him and greeted him in a gentle voice. "Let's go." Herbert glanced at me, then turned and left. I followed him in my high heels, not daring to breathe too hard. There were many people waiting for the elevator. Herbert stood in front, and I stood behind him, because I really didn't know what to say. Probably because the elevator was too boring, he suddenly turned to me and asked, "Why don't you ask about the result of the bidding? Don't you care about the company?" In the face of Herbert's question, I didn't know how to answer. The reason why I didn't ask anything was that I was afraid of making him angry. So I chose not to ask, but now I was questioned and did not care about the company, which was really troublesome. I adjusted my mood and forced a smile. "I... I'm thinking about how to ask! What's the result?" Although I asked, in fact, I didn't expect anything. After all, when he came out of the meeting room, he looked terrible. But i didn't expect that Herbert would say, "Our company won the bid." "What?" I was confused. "Why is he so serious about such a happy thing?" "You don't want the company to won the bid?" Herbert asked again. I think his problems are always somewhat inexplicable. But no matter what, he is my boss. I have to respond to him. "No! I'm at home every day, praying that our company will become stronger and stronger, and we can achieve the strongest in the universe." After I said this, I suddenly felt that my reply was too perfunctory. I was going to say something else to make up for it, but when I looked up and saw the serious look in Herbert's eyes, I couldn't say a word, so I lowered my head. Ding... At this time, the elevator arrived. The elevator came at the right time, which could help me ease the current embarrassment. "Sir, the elevator is here." I raised my head and forced a smile. Herbert glanced at me, turned around, and got into the elevator. I followed closely behind and got into the elevator. There were too many people taking the elevator, so that after the elevator doors were closed, everyone held their breath, because their bodies were almost glued to each other. I stood in a corner of the elevator, and the two men next to me had physical contact with me. It's warm now, and I'm wearing thin clothes. On such an occasion, I still felt a little embarrassed. In order to avoid more embarrassment, I could only turn my back and put my chest on the wall of the elevator. I tried very hard to get close to the elevator wall, but the person behind me was still squeezing toward me. I felt that my ass had touched someone else's body. Just when I felt embarrassed, I suddenly felt a body approaching me. I looked back and saw a handsome face. It turned out that he had separated the two men with his own body, and his hands were on the wall of the elevator, giving me a separate space. Herbert's behavior was too gentlemanly, which touched me a little. But this posture was a little ambiguous. I was almost in his arms, and I could probably hear his heartbeat. "Emma it! It's like I'm being hit by a deer. My hand is on my chest and I'm telling myself in my heart: Bella, why are you so useless? It's just that I'm a little close to you. Do you have to speed up your heart?"
