Of course, many haters disagreed with the post claiming that it was out of character for Gareth to do
something like that.
Elisa felt exhausted just by looking at the online discussion, so she quit the application quietly.
“Say something!” Rachel demanded. “What’s going on between both of you? Something must have
happened! I bet you guys hooked up with each other!”
Elisa’s lips twitched in protest.
“Nothing will ever happen between us! The other day, I was putting pressure on my team, telling them
that I won’t hesitate to be ruthless if they disobey my instructions.”
“And?”
Elisa explained the entire situation to Rachel. When Rachel understood the actual situation, her jaw
dropped.
“What? You’re not lying, are you? Is that all?” she asked incredulously.

“Wha–? How did things end up like this? Those people are really–”
“What if Carle sees it?” Elisa asked worriedly.
“Oh!” Rachel gave a jolt. “W-What should we do? I bet he’ll be devastated when he sees it. Perhaps he
will give you a call.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Elisa received a call.
“Speaking of the devil, he’s calling me right now.”
Rachel paused for a moment before asking, “What are you going to do? Are you… going to pick it up?”
Elisa sighed. “Let’s hang up. I’ll take his call first.”
“… Alright.”
After a pause, Rachel added, “It’s good I briefed you about the situation beforehand. Since you already
have a heads up, just talk to him.”
“Sure.”
With that, she took Carle’s call.
“Hey, Carle.”
“Hey. Are you busy?”
Elisa’s eyes flickered. Though he sounded calm, she could tell that something was wrong.
“Kinda. I’m still working. What’s up?”
Elisa sounded nonchalant, making Carle unsure if she knew about the situation.
He didn’t know how to breach the topic. Should I ask her about it directly? But what should I say? If I
don’t say anything, I’ll be even more anxious!
Conflicting thoughts appeared in his mind.
He had no idea how to approach the situation.
Sensing his silence, Elisa asked, “Carle?”

He returned to his senses and held his phone hesitantly.
Finally, he succumbed to his hurt feelings, or perhaps he just wanted to know the truth. “I just saw the
discussion on Twitter,” he stated quietly.
“Twitter…” Elisa repeated crisply. “Rachel just called to tell me. Do you believe it?”
Carle took a deep breath before replying, “I believe in you.”
However, Elisa could hear the hesitance in his voice.
She heaved an exasperated sigh, but she said nothing.
If they were in a relationship, she would explain the entire situation to him and even show him the
recording.
She planned to keep a distance from him since they had to separate sooner or later. Because of those
reasons, she didn’t explain anything at all, making her seem harsh.
Deep down, she felt conflicted, and the sigh clearly showed that.
Carle immediately panicked upon hearing that. “Elisa, I don’t doubt you. I just feel slightly upset. You–”
“I know,” she interrupted.
