Hour Chase

The school building is not too big, and the administrative area is on the third floor.

Ellie, who had never been here before, looked at the oil paintings on the wall and couldn't help admiring the school secretly.

The above are all students' works. Although I don't understand them, compared to ordinary people, these works are also very outstanding.

I checked the location of this school on my mobile phone before, and of course I also learned a little about the situation of this school.

St. Mirco's predecessor was a private school, which was founded by the former mayor of London.

And because the former mayor himself loved the arts, he soon turned San Mirco into a public school specializing in the arts.

Many of these students come from affluent families, and fees are more expensive than other public schools.

Only the children of rich people come here. With a background like mine, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in for the rest of my life.

Not allowing Ellie to think about it, the two had already arrived at the door of the principal's office.

"Then I'm going in, and I'll be out soon."

Ellie nodded and watched as Karen knocked on the door and entered.

Waiting time is always boring, of course, if you can find something that interests you, that would be great.

Perhaps out of curiosity, the conversation between Karen and the principal in the office came from the door.

Although the sound is very small, you can hear three points if you listen carefully.

Although standing not far away, Ellie approached the door after taking a few steps.

The principal seemed to express great regret for the teacher's resignation, but he also expressed his helplessness.

At this time, Ellie couldn't help but think of what Karen said just now, that teacher...is her boss' fiancee.

Maybe it was because I was going to get married that I had to give up this job.

Sure enough, if you marry a rich man, you have to give up something. This kind of life doesn't seem to be completely happy.

Everyone has a different destiny, such as yourself.

However, I am definitely different from that person. Even if I am married, I will not give up my career because of this.

Ellie, who was lamenting the life of everyone, suddenly heard Karen's farewell words, so she immediately retreated to a distant place and waited.

After all, eavesdropping is still wrong.

Seeing Karen coming out, Ellie stepped forward.

"done?"

Karen smiled wryly and nodded.

"As a lawyer, I have to be responsible for even the boss's private affairs. It's really terrible."

Saying this, Ellie felt that Karen didn't seem as disgusted as she said.

Perhaps it was because his boss trusted her so much that even his personal affairs were handed over to a new lawyer.

If so, it's not a chore.

"Okay, okay, in return, next time you can talk to your boss about a salary increase."

"That's all you can say."

"Then let's eat! I've been waiting for this meal!"

Listening to Ellie's urging, Karen had no choice but to let go of being dragged forward by her.

Although they didn't discuss in advance what to eat in the evening, it's just that there seems to be no conflict between the tastes of the two.

Karen knows Ellie doesn't like sweets, and there are no other taboos.

And Ellie didn't have any opinion on tonight's meal, everything was decided by Karen.

The temperature at night makes people feel very comfortable, perhaps this is unique to summer.

The two went to the famous local food street, where there are everything from coffee shops to snack bars.

It is not difficult to find a quiet small shop here.

While hesitating which restaurant to eat, Karen took Ellie into a restaurant that specializes in steak without hesitation.

Although I don't understand why Karen is so sure that she likes to eat, but since it's her treat, it's up to the guests.

The two chose a table by the window to sit down, when the waiter on the side came over with two glasses of water.

"Miss, what would you like to order?"

Ellie glanced at the menu. Although it was mainly steak, she still had to worry about her friend's wallet.After all, the food here is not cheap either.

As if seeing what Ellie was thinking, Karen glanced at the menu and closed it.

"You order, I will do the same as you."

"Hey, if my taste is different from yours, you won't eat it?"

"Tomorrow is the weekend, even if you order garlic, I will eat it for you without mercy."

Now that Karen said so, Ellie had no choice but to order according to her appetite.

While waiting for the food to be served, the two drank water and chatted.

I didn't have a chance to say it before, but Ellie at this time asked the question in her heart.

"By the way, do you know your boss' fiancee?"

Strangely, Karen didn't answer directly, but asked Allie instead.

"Speaking of which, you know me better than me, don't you?"

"yes...?"

About this, Allie knew nothing about the fiancée.

Who is the name, what is the background, how could I know.

However, compared to Ellie's ignorant appearance, Karen had strange emotions in her heart.

"You must know, if I say her name."

Karen insisted that she knew the man, but Ellie's behavior made her feel unbelievable.

"I think, even if you don't want to have anything to do with that person again, she won't cut off contact with you."

"What are you talking about? Why... I can't understand at all..."

Seeing that Ellie still didn't want to admit it, Karen could only sigh.

"Forget it, I think you need to rest more during this time. Don't worry about that person anymore."

After talking for a long time, Karen still did not say the name of that person.

However, the steak they ordered was also served at this time, which just relieved the embarrassment between the two of them.

Although Ellie wanted to know the woman's name very much, unfortunately, when the steak was delivered, all doubts disappeared.

In the present of delicious food, thinking about something that has nothing to do with eating would be a waste of time.

It was just a short meal time, and the two of them also tried to avoid the topic just now, and talked about some small things around them.

It turns out that the company Karen is working for is a very famous company in London, and it is precisely because she has won a difficult lawsuit for the company that the upper management of the company admire her.

I never mentioned Karen about this company, but Karen has been working in this company for three months.

After working for three months, she just got paid for the first time. Ellie couldn't understand this.

But when she asked, Karen didn't seem to care.

"Companies also have their own practices. Compared with white-collar workers who receive a salary every month, the three-month wait is worth it. I am still very satisfied with the first salary."

Maybe, as Karen said, the salary of a lawyer is really high.

But everything is her choice, and she has no right to interfere.

It wasn't until nine o'clock that the two returned to their respective residences.

Although the night was quiet, there were waves in Ellie's heart.

Ellie and Karen walked to the subway station together. Although there are still many passengers waiting at the subway station at night, compared with the daytime, there are actually a lot fewer passengers.

"Ellie, to be honest, although I don't agree with that woman as a friend, but..."

Karen was very helpless, but she was not speechless.

In Ellie's eyes, she doesn't have many friends, but Karen is a good friend who can talk to her.

She has said a lot of strange things today, and now she is doing it again.

Hearing Karen's words now, Ellie couldn't help but wonder in her heart, and asked.

"I really want to know, who is that woman you are talking about? Does she have any deep hatred with me?"

Although he cared about it very much, such a question in Karen's ears was like a child asking his mother how much one plus one equals.

Does such an obvious answer need to be answered by an outsider himself?

Karen shook her head again and said nothing.

At this time, the sound of the subway approaching came from a distance.

Karen is about to take this subway back to her rented house, and after sending Karen off, Ellie has to go home by herself.

The subway came to a steady stop, and the doors opened at this moment.

"Then, I'm leaving."

"Wait a moment!"

As the passengers entered the subway, Ellie grabbed Karen's arm.

"Karen, are you hiding something from me?"

"It's not that I don't want to say it, I think...you should be aware of it yourself. That..."

Not finished yet, the subway is about to start.

Ellie retreated to the platform, and when the subway doors slowly closed, Karen shook her phone.

Maybe let me call him, Ellie naturally thought of it.

At this time, the subway had already left, and Ellie had to go home by herself.

But everything Karen said today made him care too much.

On the way to the station, the phone rang.

Seeing that it was Karen calling, Ellie immediately picked it up.

"Karen you..."

"Sorry, I didn't make it clear just now because the time was too short. What I want to say is that that woman named Caroline has been lying to your feelings, why are you refusing to face the reality?"

"Caroline? Me and her..."

"I know there may have been something between you, but she is about to become someone else's wife. How do you change this?"

"She told me that she was going to get married, but... what does it have to do with me? Becoming a bride should be a blessing, right?"

"...If you can think that way, that's fine. All in all, if you are cheated by that woman, I won't let her go."

Hearing this, Ellie didn't know how to answer, so she chatted a little more and hung up the phone.

Karen could roughly understand what she meant, but it was difficult for her to describe Caroline in this way.

Both of them are my friends, why I never knew that Karen had such a big prejudice against Caroline.

Ellie didn't think about it when she got home.

It seems that the answer to this question may indeed have something to do with myself.

Ellie was lying on the bed, looking through the past text messages in boredom.

As expected, except for Karen, the communication and correspondence between myself and Caroline have never been interrupted.

Judging from the latest one, even I can't believe the content in it.
