âTen meals?â Ellen blinked in confusion. âDonât worry. You can take me to a cheap restaurant. I wonât make you go bankrupt,â replied Jared.
âItâs fine if you want that, but⦠wonât your girlfriend be upset about it?â asked Ellen as she bit her lip.
He must be dating that girl whom he hugged at his office! Ellen thought.
âGirlfriend?â Jared squinted his eyes and thought, When did I ever have a girlfriend? Hearing his question, Ellen nodded her head seriously. âWhich one?â Jared raised his eyebrow and asked.
Ellenâs eyes widened when she heard his words. âHow many girlfriends do you have?â âNot much. I only have one.â As Jared spoke, he pointed at her and said, âThatâs you.â
At that moment, Ellenâs mind went blank. Wait for a second. Does that mean that the woman he hugged isnât his girlfriend? No, I canât let him know about this. Otherwise, he will give me a scolding! I would rather treat him to ten meals! Thinking about it, she said, âTen meals, right? No problem!â She was quick to respond.
âThis room is too cramped. Iâm going to tell them to give you a better room,â Jared suggested, wishing she would stay in a comfier place. âItâs fine. I think this is just perfect. Plus, itâs getting late. Why donât you go home and take a rest?â Ellen said. Jared pointed to her ceiling and replied, âIâm staying on the top floor. Just call me if anything happens.â
âOkay.â Ellen nodded and didnât think there was anything wrong with it. They had not seen each other for more than a year! Thus, they were not as close as they used. to be.
However, Jared didnât want to leave. At that moment, he took out his phone and took a picture of Ellenâs trophy. After that, he took another selfie while smiling as he held the trophy. His handsome face matched the golden trophy well!
Looking at his actions, Ellen was shocked. After all, even she was way past the age of taking cute selfies. After taking the selfie, Jared uploaded it to his social media. âGuess who the owner of the trophy is? Bingo. It is my girlfriendâs, he wrote.
Just like that, he announced his relationship with Ellen. Plus, the trophy was titled the champion of this yearâs chess tournament. Hence, anyone would be able to know who the winner of the tournament was as long as they searched for it.
âWhat did you post? Ellen asked in curiosity. When Jared heard her words, he immediately. closed his phone and put it in his pocket. âNothing. Iâll be going now. Get some rest!â
When he arrived at the door, he turned around and reminded her. âDonât open the door for any men tonight.â Ellen was speechless and thought that he was such a dominant man.
After Jared had left Ellenâs room, he breathed at sigh of relief and looked at the door. His eyes were like a predator had its eyes on its prey. I wonât let her escape again, he thought. In the meantime, Ellen was also relieved as she had a smile on her lips. For unknown reasons, she felt that it was easier for her to face him, and it felt great.
At 8.00AM, the Aguirres couple were waiting by the prison gate. After some time, Selena carried her luggage under the escort of a prison guard. She seemed to have lost her youthfulness and looked glum.
âNow that you are out here, get a new life, Selena. I hope you wonât be back again. Good luck! After the guard finished his words, he. closed the door.
When Olivia saw Selena, tears rolled down her eyes, and she rushed over to hug her. âOh, Selena, my sweetheart. My baby girl. You are finally out of there.â
Selena threw her luggage to the ground and cried miserably. âIâm so tired of it, Mom. I was struggling!â
She complained about her prison life. âIâm hungry and cold every day. The other inmates even hit me and toyed with me. Iâm so done with it.â
âWhere did they hit you? Let me take a look at it,â Olivia said hastily.
