Sophia Sawyer walked hurriedly into the elevator. The doors closed, then opened again, and Julian Sinclair stepped inside.
Sophia quickly composed herself, lifting her chin and staring straight ahead, adopting the air of a senior.
The two stood in silence, not exchanging a word.
The elevator walls were like mirrors, and in their reflection, Sophia saw Julian's mocking expression.
Although they were of the same generation, Julian was only a year older than Aiden Sinclair. Sophia was infuriated by his disrespectful attitude.
Just then, Sophia's phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw she had received a video. She opened it to see footage of a race car speeding around a track.
She was still puzzled when, with a deafening ROAR, the car smashed through the guardrail, flipped a full 360 degrees, and crashed to the ground. In a final, fiery BOOM, it exploded.
