'Hold the elevator,' he shouted.

One of the staff pressed a button. The elevator door chimed and reopened. The people inside the lift smiled when I stepped inside the elevator. They shook my hand as the elevator door was closing. Somehow my presence uplifted their spirit. I forced a smile until I shook all their hands. My eyes glanced at his frame and limbs for anything peculiar. I couldn't spot anything unusual. Then I looked at his head. The last time I saw Gabriel, he had long dirty, curly blond hair. Charles had well-trimmed short blond hair.

'He could have also cut his hair short and made it look like Charles's hairstyle,' I thought. I shook my head hesitantly. My breathing grew shallow, my hands curled into fists. I wanted to confront him about what I saw last night, but he was busy chatting. By the time the elevator passed the 25th floor, we were the only one left. Our eyes crossed.

'Please hold me,' I requested.

He nodded.

'Are you alright?' he asked as he put the briefcase on the floor. Then wrapped his arms around me. We hugged. My face leaned against his chest. I sniffed his chest and neck. I sensed irregularities in his scent. Charles never had a body odor like the man in front of me. I had a flashback. I remember the first time I met and spoke with Gabriel 3 years ago. He had the same odor as the man next to me. My skin crawled at his proximity. Even though my heart pounded icily. I remained calm and tried not to give anything away.

He kissed me on the forehead.

'Easy, we'll do all that home,' I said.

They shook my hired hand as the elevator door was closing. Somehow my presence uplift their spirit. I forced a smile until I shook all their work force. My eyes glanced at his frame and limbs for anything peculiar. I couldn't descry anything unusual. Then I looked at his head. The last time I saw Gabriel, he had long dirty, curly blond hair. Charles had well - trimmed short blond hair. 

' He could have also cut his hair inadequate and made it look like Charles's hairdo,' I think. I shake my head hesitantly. My breathing grew shallow, my hand curled into fists.
