Since Zara had already arrived, Ethan's short mission was over.
But just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Elise stopped him again.
"Hm?" Ethan was a bit puzzled, but he still asked gently, "Is there something else?"
"Thank you," Elise said, looking at him seriously.
"No need to be so formal," Ethan chuckled, waving his hand. "Alright, see you around."
However, Elise still didn't let go of his hand.
Ethan had no choice but to turn back again. "Elise?"
"Thank you," Elise repeated, a bit stubbornly.
Ethan's expression grew more confused. Was Elise switching into her quirky girl mode?
Finally, Zara, standing nearby, stepped in to clear things up, accurately conveying what Elise meant.
"Elise is trying to say she hasn't properly thanked you yet. Um… do you have time? I'd like to buy you a drink."
Zara also wanted to express her gratitude and apologize for the earlier misunderstanding.
