Married Couple Arrives at the Lawyer’s Office to Get Divorced but Gets Stuck in the Elevator — Story of the Day

“We were going up the elevator, and it stopped. I should be asking you what happened,” Kate said, her voice tense.

“There’s a notice on the building doors. Didn’t you see it?” the dispatcher asked.

“What notice?” Kate asked, frowning.

“That there will be a power outage,” the dispatcher replied.

“And how long will it last?” Kate asked, her frustration growing.

“From one to three hours,” the dispatcher said.

“We can’t wait that long! Get us out of here!” Kate shouted.

“There’s nothing I can do,” the dispatcher said, and the microphone went silent.

“Hello? Hello?!” Kate tried to get the dispatcher’s attention but realized he had hung up. “Damn it!” she shouted and kicked the elevator.

“I don’t think kicking the elevator is the best idea right now,” John said, already sitting on the floor.

“As if you ever think,” Kate said, sitting on the floor opposite John.

“Do you really hate me that much?” John asked.

“You betrayed me! How else should I feel about you?” Kate said, her voice breaking.

“Do you need reminding who set up this betrayal?” John asked, his voice rising.

“Set up the betrayal?! I just decided to test you and asked her to help me. I didn’t put you in bed with her!” Kate shouted.

“No, you just hired my ex to seduce me. And somehow believed her, not your husband,” John replied.

“Tell me, John, why did I believe her? Maybe because she’s pregnant with your child?!” Kate retorted.
