Not knowing why, Louisa felt something convincing when she looked at Bruce's eyes.
A few days passed. During this time, Ella didn't call Louisa again, which made her not only confused, but also worried.
Now that Ella was in such a situation, Ella must often call her to tell Louisa about her sadness. But Louisa hadn't received any call from Ella for so many days. Louisa was worried about if something was wrong with Ella.
Louisa took out her phone and dialed Ella's number, but a female voice reached her ear. The number he dialed was power off, please redial later.
The more Louisa thought about it, the more worried she became. She couldn't focus on her work any more. She quickly straightened her desk and took a taxi to the home of Ella without asking for leave.
But when Louisa arrived at Ella's home, the door was closed. It seemed that no one was at home. Louisa rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered. She slapped the door, but there was still no sound.
Meanwhile, Louisa thought of Frank in her panic. She doubted if Ella was with Frank. After all, Ella was trying to restore their relationship.
Louisa dialed Frank's number and heard his deep voice. She could tell that he was in a bad mood.
"Frank, is Ella with you now?" Louisa pounded on the door again and then she asked anxiously.
Listening to the anxious voice of Louisa, Frank frowned in confusion, wondering what made her so anxious.
"No, she's not here. We haven't contacted each other for several days." Hearing the name of Ella, a trace of sadness flashed through Frank's heart. He sorted out his emotions and said coldly at the other end of the phone.
Some time ago, Ella had called him and asked him to reconcile with her, but recently, she didn't call him again. He thought she had given up, because of that he was still sad.
After hearing Frank's negative answer, Louisa's heart sank. Louisa had a bad feeling, and she doubted that there was something wrong with Ella.
"Frank, I called Ella and found that she was missing. Her door was closed when I came to her house. I thought she was with you, but now it seems that she is missing." After figuring out what was going on, Louisa asked anxiously to Frank on the other end of the line.
Originally, she thought that Frank would be very worried about Ella after hearing her words, but his reaction was unexpectedly. The other end of the phone fell into silence.
Thinking that there might be something wrong with the call, Louisa anxiously asked again, "Frank, can you hear me?"
Hearing that, Frank frowned somewhat angrily. He said coldly.
"Do you think I will believe in the same trick again? No matter what Ella does this time, I won't forgive her!" He said coldly and hung up the phone before Louisa got a chance to explain.
Last time, Ella lied to him by leaving, and this time he wouldn't believe her any more. He had been a little softened by Ella's entanglement, but his heart had become firm again because of the call from Louisa.
Looking at the phone that was hung up irritably, Louisa was very anxious. This time, it seemed that Ella really left.
In the bar, Bruce found Frank who was drinking alone. Bruce shook his head helplessly and walked up to Frank to sit down.
"Drinking lonely?" Bruce said lightly. He snapped his fingers, and the bartender handed him a glass of cocktail.
With a quick glance, Frank saw Bruce. There was a flash of surprise in Frank's eyes, but he quickly lowered his head again and drank.
"Why are you here?" Said Frank in a cold tone, looking into the distance.
Frank heard that Bruce and Louisa who didn't get along well with each other recently. He knew that Bruce was supposed to be busy dealing with his relationship with Louisa at this time. So Frank was surprised.
After gulping down the cocktail in his glass, Bruce looked at Frank and said calmly, "I'm here for you. How's everything going? Is you lonely in your heart after Ella left?"
Bruce's tone of speaking was still calm and he talked about Ella, but it aroused Frank's interest.
Frank frowned and looked at Bruce with some doubts. Then Frank said with uncertainty.
