Although Ellie's constant talk of love annoyed him, the reason he kept her by his side for the long three years was purely because she was quite useful.

With a face showing evident fatigue, Simon checked his phone screen while pressing his temples firmly.
As he scrolled through the messenger list, he stared quietly at the screen of a contact that appeared as "Unknown."
Simon Sa, who had audaciously changed his number on his own.
Simon scrolled through the past messenger conversations with Ellie Yeo, his expression impassive. Most of the messages were sent unilaterally by Ellie.

-Should I bring you some snacks? A new egg tart shop just opened nearby.
-You didn't eat lunch at all, are you not feeling well...?
-Vice President, get home safely.
