A Strange Man In The Lift (Passage Writing)

Neela was going to the basement cafe in her hotel to have breakfast. She didn't have a proper dinner the night before. She couldn't sleep well and got up early. She got into the lift and pressed the button that read B1. On the 14th floor a stranger got in. He was about 300 lbs and more than six feet tall. He looked like a giant. Neela felt that there was not enough room for her. She Was Scared. She hoped that he would get out soon. Her heart sank when the man pressed B1 too. Neela eyed the giant nervously.
Perspiration trickled down her forehead though the air-conditioner was working in the elevator. she felt weak at the knees. She looked at the man helplessly and though to herself, My goodness! Will I Be having breakfast at the same time as this man? The giant suddenly spoke, 'Hello! Going for breakfast?' 'Yes',Neela answered meekly. 'You are pretty early, ' the giant said. 'I thought I was the only early bird'. Neela was surprised to hear such a soft voice. She looked at him ...well he had soft eyes and she was no more afraid. Maybe he wasn't so frightening after all.
