She went back to work despite Alex’s discussion about her staying at home for a few days. She was so tired and bored at home that she could only think of going back to work.

Alex also had to go back to work because of the important meetings he had to hold and the files he had to work on because of his absence.

Ellie was working on her computer when her phone suddenly beeped. She checked it, and she saw that it was an unknown number. She only picked it up at the second ring. “Were you trying to ignore my calls?” She heard the voice asking.

She was surprised to hear how the person was using a commanding tone when she didn’t even know who it was. She checked the number again. “Please, who’s talking?”

“Such disrespect from a weak human.” She heard the voice reply. At that point, she knew who it was. It was only Mrs. Warren, Alex’s mother, who could address her as a weak human instead of her name.

“I’m sorry, ma’am. I didn’t know you were the one.” She quickly stood up from her seat and apologized as if the woman were in her presence.

The woman did not even bother accepting her apology. She went straight to the point. “Come meet me at the cafe two blocks away from the company by twelve in the afternoon. And if you like, you might decide to tell my son about our meeting. Then I’ll know how big of a fool you are.” She said this before hanging up.

Ellie could not even say a word when she heard the beeping sound. She knew the woman didn’t like her, but she could not understand why the woman liked insulting her a lot.

“By twelve. But that’s lunchtime. Maybe she knew; that’s why she asked me to come, so that Alex wouldn’t find out.” She thought.

Ellie kept working until she was almost twelve. She was happy she wouldn’t have to find an excuse to give Alex because he had gone for an important meeting with Jeff.

She left her office and went to the cafe. She entered and took a seat. She noticed that the cafe was silent, and there were no customers inside. A lady walked up to her and asked, “Are you, Miss Ellie?”

“Yes,” she answered. The lady told her that a woman had booked the whole cafe for two hours, and she should wait for her. “Do you want to have anything to drink?” The lady asked.

“No. I’m okay.”

She waited for some minutes until she finally ordered a cappuccino. She kept checking her watch. “Is she still coming?” She asked herself.

Just then, the door opened. Madeline entered the cafe and saw the girl already sitting. She walked up to her and sat in front of her.

“I didn’t expect you to come early,” Madeline said, but Ellie did not say anything. “Was she not the one that told me twelve, and now it’s past twelve?” She thought.

“What have you been doing? Are you trying to mess with me?” Madeline asked calmly; she sighed before continuing. “Why are you still in that house? Do you think you can keep living off my son?! She screamed, but Ellie was thankful that no one was there.

She wished she could do what she asked of her instantly, but she couldn’t. At least, not when she doesn’t know why her eyes keep changing. “I’m sorry, ma’am.” She apologized, not knowing what to say to the woman.

“Don’t you dare apologize to me. You’re just a weak, wretched human, and I will never allow my son to make a mistake he will regret for his lifetime. I only give you a week to do what is necessary.” Madeline said, gritting her teeth in anger. She stood up and left the cafe without waiting for the girl to say a word.

She was pained about what Madeline said to her, but she kept everything inside her. “I’ll have to find out what’s going on with me before next week.” She thought.

She was about to leave the cafe when someone suddenly sat down where Madeline was sitting before she left. Hey! He raised his hand to greet her with a smile.

“Sam! What are you doing here?!” She sat back down on the chair and asked. She was surprised to see him near Warren Corporation. She knew that Stewart Corporation was far away, and it was already working hours.

“Um… I took a day off from work. And I came here to see one of my friends.” He replied.

“When did you come into the cafe?” She asked, looking into his eyes. She hoped he hadn’t heard her discussion with Alex’s mother.

“I just came in,” Sam replied with a smile.

“Hmm. OK.” Ellie relaxed before looking away from him. It was quiet for some time before Sam finally asked, “How is Mr. Warren feeling now?”

Suddenly, Ellie looked up at him. “Mr Warren? How do you know he’s not feeling well?” She was surprised to hear him ask about Alex. She knew that she had not told him, nor could Callum tell the people in his company.

“Don’t you remember? You told me.” Sam said it with a smile. Ellie felt chills from the smile Sam gave her, but she did not think much about it.

“I told him? I don’t remember saying anything about Alex.” She whispered to herself, but she did not know that Sam had heard her.

“Maybe you’ve forgotten. You must have been stressed lately.” He said with that same smile, but Ellie did not reply.

She kept thinking until she finally remembered that lunch was over. “I’m sorry. I need to go now.” She said before taking her purse. She did not even bother waiting for him to talk before she left the cafe.

Sam did not move from his seat; he kept looking at her as she walked down the street. He stretched his hand and took her cup of coffee, which she had taken a sip of.
