Belle never thought that pretending to have nothing to do with Eli anymore was a lot more difficult than pretending to be his girlfriend.
The whole day she was working with him, Eli had to pretend grumpy and she had to look indifferent. Eli gave her a lot of things to do, to make it look like she was bullied by him. Although, out of ten things she asked her to complete, only three of those were really something she needed to make. The rest were just for show.
At noon, they didn't eat lunch together anymore. Belle went to the cafeteria all alone and ate her meal quickly as if she didn't have so much time to spend on a meal. In truth, she only ate half of her meal at the cafeteria and had her dessert in Eli's office.
And when it was time to go home, Eli went ahead of her.
Everyone saw how Eli left in a hurry without bothering to talk to Belle.
