I hurried into the hotel, after so much waiting I finally got an appointment with Mr Bronson, the major shareholder of the hotel, he just cannot say no to my presentation. Looking in my bag I entered the elevator and pressed the button leading to the top floor. After awhile I sensed someone's presence I turned to my right and saw a woman standing beside me,I felt awkward for not noticing her before. "hello are you going to the top floor too?",I asked her. "yes", she smiled . She had straight black hair and wore a black office dress with matching boots. She had round eyes , I found her to be quite beautiful. I gazed down on her arms and to my surprise they were covered in ugly burnt marks. She saw me starring at her arms , embarrassed I looked away. "It was an accident, I got electrocuted really badly recently and it resulted in this", she said shyly. "I am really sorry I didn't mean to pry", I said apologetically. She was so pretty and naive I instantly felt really bad to hear about her pain. "So do you work here?", I asked her. "Actually I am a law student, I just came to drop some papers to my dad", she answered. I thought that the top floor only had the conference room where Mr Bronson and other board members are , one of them must be her father. "What is your dad's name", I asked her politely". "Mr Bronson ", she answered. Wow I was talking to her daughter, I hoped to make a good impression on her. Suddenly the lights went out and after a few seconds it came back again. " Its okay , it does that sometimes", she assured me. As the elevator stopped I walked out."So I hope to see you around sometime", I said. "You will ", she answered with a smile. As I entered the conference room I found a picture of her on the wall, Mr Bronson must be really fond of her I thought. After showing my presentation Mr Bronson congratulated me as he accepted my business deal. " Mr Bronson I must admit you have a fine daughter and she was really nice to me when I met her in the elevator", I said to him. Suddenly the room silenced and everyone including him looked gravely at me. "Emily died ten years ago, she was trapped in the elevator during a power failure , when it came back the electricity surged through the elevator steel walls and she got electrocuted, she was burnt badly and instantly died", He explained seriously. I opened my mouth to say something but Mr Bronson held my hand. "It's okay, many people have come across her , all of them have claimed of meeting her, don't think about it too much I will meet you tomorrow Mr Smith", he said. As I got into the elevator I couldn't believe that she was dead she seemed so real and .....alive. All of a sudden the lights went out again for a few seconds when it came back, I felt someone's presence beside me. She stood there smiling sweetly.
