In love with you
She got to the park and saw Christina, who was already sitting on a bench, tossing bread crumbs to the pigeons. She went closer to where she was sitting. “Hi!” she said before sitting next to her.
“Hi.” Christina also replied without looking at her.
None of them said anything to each other for a long time before Ellie finally said, “Um, I’m sorry for not telling you. I took you as my friend, but things just happened so fast.” She explained. She did not want to go back home without talking to her.
Christina sighed. “I know I might be overreacting, but I just felt really sad that you left the company without even telling me. I thought we were friends.” She said. She was also not happy with them not talking to each other, but she was still pained about the fact that she hid it from her despite seeing each other every day.
“I’ve explained this before, Christina. I had to leave because I didn’t have a choice.” Ellie said with a sad expression, rubbing her sweaty palms together.
“What do you mean by that?” Christina asked, finally looking at her face.
“Um… I signed a contract with Mr. Alex to be his assistant.” She stuttered with a low voice.
“A contract? Do you mean Alex Warren? The owner of Warren Cooperation But why?!” She asked in shock.
“Well… I was in need of money, so I had to sign a contract to be his assistant… and also live in his house.” Ellie said. She did not bother to tell her anything about the pregnancy.
She had decided to just give birth to the baby and go back to her previous life. “Pregnancy can’t be hidden.” Something in her mind told her, but she decided to think about that later.
“Oh, my goodness. I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you were going through such a thing. And I was getting angry for no reason. I’m such a bad friend.” Christina said, holding her hands.
She pleaded, almost in tears, before she suddenly remembered something. “Wait. You’re living in his house?” She asked with a shocked expression, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.
“Yeah, he… doesn’t want any lateness.” Ellie stuttered. Sweat was starting to form on her forehead.
“Is that why that man over there has been staring at us?” Christina asked, looking at the man who was standing under a tree. Ellie also looked at where she was looking and said, “Oh! He’s my chauffeur.”
“Your chauffeur?! Ellie?! He got you a chauffeur?! I think Mr. Warren likes you, girl!” Christina said, screaming in happiness; she did not know that her voice attracted the attention of some people in the park. Seeing this, Ellie quickly covered her mouth and smiled at the people.
“You’re shouting, Christina. You got it all wrong.” Ellie said. “He’s just a nice person.” She continued with a mutter; she knew exactly what kind of person he was, so she could never accept the fact that he likes her. “He just wants the baby, and I hope this will be over soon,” she thought.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Wrong? How is that wrong? A guy who does this for just an assistant. I’m telling you he is falling for you.” Christina said, touching her cheeks in excitement.
“OK, I’ve heard you.” Ellie said this before smiling at her. “I’m sorry, I wish I could tell you everything.” She thought. “If Jasmine ever knows about this, just know you’re dead, Ellie.”
They talked for some time before they finally bid each other goodbye.

In Alex’s mansion.
“Haven’t I told you to always contact me before coming?” He asked the girl, who was already sitting on the chair in the living room.
“Brother, I still don’t understand why you’re like this.” Do I really need to tell you before coming to your house? She said, pouting her lips in sadness.
“Yes, you must tell me before coming. Now leave.” He stood up to drag her out.
“Wait. I just got here.” Can I at least have a cup of water before leaving? She asked; she knew that something was going on, because her brother had never had any maids living in his house. He loved his privacy a lot, so she was surprised to see the maids in the house, and her brother was acting too uneasy, which made her guess that he was hiding something.
“Fine. You leave after your water.” He said sternly, before asking a maid to get her the water.
But outside the house.
When Ellie got home, she was told by a guard to pass the kitchen door and not the main entrance. “Why would he ask me not to pass the main entrance?” She asked herself and just followed the guard; she went towards the back of the house to pass the kitchen’s back door.
She entered through the door and saw the maids doing their work. “Well done.” She greeted them, and they also answered her with a bow.
She opened the door that leads to the living room and was about to move when a maid suddenly stopped and led her through another door, but that didn’t stop her from seeing the lady in the living room, even though it was just her back.
She passed through the door and climbed the stairs, which led to the second floor. “Why tell me to live in his house if he doesn’t want anyone to know about me?” She said to herself,
“Or could that be his girlfriend? Oh my goodness! Am I about to destroy another person’s relationship?” She asked, still talking to herself, without looking at where she was going.
She walked through the hallway and saw the door of a room, which was slightly opened. She looked at the door from outside, and looked around her before walking towards it.
Back in the living room. The maids brought the cup of water to Maya; she drank the water slowly, looking at her brother, who was also staring at her in silence.
Suddenly, she felt a strange smell in the air. “This is the smell of humans. What is a human doing here?” She thought, before dropping the cup on the table in front of her to inhale the smell more.
Noticing this, Alex quickly stood up and said, “You’re done with your water. Now leave.” He said, pulling her from the couch. He dragged her outside and pushed her into the car before asking the driver to move. Despite her screaming and begging, he did not listen to her.
“Brother please.” Maya begged, but he did not listen to her; he pulled her into the car and went back in after the car left.
