When Erick left her, Elle just stayed rooted in her spot for only God knew how long. Her gaze was fixed to the direction where he disappeared from her sight. Her eyes were also red because of her tears.
People who were passing by were looking at her strangely. They were talking about her as if she was a girl who was dumped or cheated on by her boyfriend based on her expression.
Fortunately, Elle's focus came back the moment she heard the ringtone of her cellphone. She realized that she was still in the public place and people around her were giving her a weird and curious look.
Elle immediately fixed herself, wiping the tears in her face as she answered the phone.
"Hey, Ali? Where are you? It's already been half an hour. Why are you not here yet? Our foods are already served here. Come here now. Same location, Table # 3."
The caller was Sandy. They were supposed to have their lunch when Elle saw Erick outside their office building.
