Eloise let out a small laugh.
She knew exactly what was going on between her and Harvey. He had never done her wrong, and their relationship was not something hidden in the shadows.
Eloise kept her mouth shut.
Max felt pretty awkward.
He always thought Eloise was a soft-spoken girl, but boy, was he wrong! She turned out to be cold as ice when it came to making decisions.
How could he have missed that?
Back then, when he was busy chasing Orlena, he broke up with Eloise over a simple phone call. He thought she would beg him to stay, crying her eyes out, but all she did was keep quiet for a minute, then let out a soft 'okay'.
Since that day, Eloise hadn't contacted him once.
It's like their past never existed like she never loved him for the past four years. She didn't even take her stuff from the apartment and even went as far as to block all his info.
Their relationship was utterly obliterated!
Sometimes Max wondered, did Eloise ever really love him? How could she forget their relationship so easily?
Max just turned around and left.
Downstairs, he took the apartment key out of his pocket and tossed it into a trash can.
Eloise stood there for a while.
Michelle's voice came from inside the house, "Eloise, why are you still outside?"
Eloise responded and once she collected herself, she walked inside.
Angus Laurent was already asleep. Eloise tidied up a bit and prepared to leave, Michelle saw her out.
She opened the door and saw a cigarette butt on the ground.
Michelle made the connection and said very excitedly, "Was that jerk here again? Eloise, you have to understand, Max is heartless."
Eloise gave Michelle's hand a gentle pat, "Don't worry, I get it."
