The next scene Ella found herself happened barely three weeks after the last one. She found herself standing in another memory, where she can just watch, but unable to interfere.
Her past self looked different. Her eyes were dimmer, and she looked broken. After what had happened the last time, Clara had forbidden her from returning to work. To her, it might have been a punishment, but for her past self, it was a relief.
The statement they had forced her to sign had spread like wildfire. The online backlash had been brutal, the comments were so merciless, she found herself crying.
She doubted she could withstand the looks, the whispers, and possibly the insults that thrown at her if she went back to the office. So been fired might just be for the best, the internet had already done enough damage. People who didn't know her personally had called her every name imaginable, especially Emily's fans.
