Ellen was curious about what Bastian really wanted to talk about this time. Especially since she noticed Bastian carrying a white paper bag. Was Bastian planning to give her another gift? Was it filled with chocolate or some other sweet treat? Ever since her team members had started gossiping about her relationship with Bastian, she had actually been getting increasingly uncomfortable every time she met him. This was precisely what made her want to straighten things out so that Bastian wouldn't keep pursuing her. It was clear that Bastian had been deliberately trying to meet her all this time, making it always seem like a coincidence.
Ellen felt increasingly awkward when Bastian deliberately invited her to lunch at a fancy restaurant. She even gripped her spoon and fork stiffly, disgusted with the current situation. Even though Flint had clearly flaunted their relationship, Bastian still insisted on pursuing her. Was he still unwilling to let her date another man?
