“You guys chat. I'm off to get swork done, Ellie said, picking up the thermos from the coffee table and
leaving the hospital room. Once Ellie was gone, Alex slowly straightened up.
Ellie left Orion's hospital room and returned to her office, where she ran into Lacey, who was there to see Mark.
They paused to chat for a bit by the elevator.
“Con, let’s go. It's tough to get tickets for superstar Sebastian's concert. I'm all set. You, me, and Diana-we
haven't hung out in ages,” Lacey urged Ellie to join her at the concert.
“Alright, I'll try,” Ellie agreed cheerfully. It had been a while since the three of them had gone out together.
“Mr. Warren,” Lacey greeted Alex as she saw him approaching.
Alex paused, his gaze briefly landing on Ellie. Nodding halfheartedly, he stuck his hands into his suit pants
pockets and waited for the elevator.
Lacey looked back and forth between Ellie and Alex. She was dumbfounded and thought, ‘Alex isn’t acting
arrogant around Ellie as usual? That is unheard of. Lacey stared at them in disbelief.
“Lacey, Dr. Grant is in his office, you should go,” Ellie reminded her, and Lacey took the hint and left.

Yesterday, it was rude of Ellie to leave the dinner with Alex. Plus, since Alex didn’t remember anything, it was

They stood face to face by the elevator. Ellie sincerely apologized while Alex looked down at her.
After a while, Alex suddenly said, “No need to apologize, Ellie. | wasn’t interested in dinner last night anyway.”
Ellie was momentarily stunned.
“The bracelet | gave you yesterday, Ellie, was just a freebie from a store promotion. | didn’t need it, so | gave it
to you,” Alex said.
“A freebie?” Ellie couldn't help
but
frown.
“Yes, a freebie, so there's no need to overthink it,” Alex said as he stepped into the elevator.
Ellie stood outside the elevator, her mind filled with overlapping voices, both current and past.
“It was a promotional freebie. | didn’t need it, so | gave it to you. It was free. Ellie, there’s no need to overthink
ie.”
“Even if the bracelet was a freebie, with your salary, you couldn't afford it anyway.”
“Haley decided she didn’t want it, and you think | would just give it to you?”

Holding back the tears in her eyes with all her might, Ellie’s hands, hanging at her sides, clenched on their own.
She thought, ‘Stupid jerk. Thanks for the reminder!”
As the elevator doors slowly closed, she watched Alex inside and gradually calmed down.
