Value Their Rtionship


    Rebekah gritted her teeth, seething with a desire to retaliate against Elyse.


    She always prided herself on her genteel demeanor in front of Freddy, but today, she felt her facade crumble, tarnishing her image irreparably.


    "Rebekah, promise this won''t happen again," Freddy interjected.


    "Sure, I promise," she muttered, refraining from further defense. Secretly, she harbored resentment towards Elyse for tarnishing her impression in Freddy''s eyes.


    Elyse caught the venomous re Rebekah shot her way, prompting her to stay vignt in the future.


    Just then, Freddy changed the subject. "By the way, did you receive Lizzie Robinson''s wedding invitation? She''s tying the knot with a wealthy businessman and wants to host a pre-wedding dinner for us, her old ssmates."


    Elyse was taken aback. She fished out her phone. "I changed my number and missed it." Suddenly, Rebekah burst intoughter, understanding why Elyse had changed her number. Though she remained unaware of how Elyse managed to erase the online chatter and prove her innocence overnight, the damage to her reputation was done. Everyone knew of her failed rtionship.


    "No worries. I''ll add you to the group chat. You can join me at the dinner tonight," Freddy offered. "Can I tag along too? I''d like to attend," Rebekah asked, leaning in.


    "What''s your n for our high school reunion?" Freddy inquired, puzzled by her intentions. "You


    hardly know anyone there. I''ll have to look out for you once we''re there."


    Rebekah, rebuffed so directly, couldn''t contain herposure any longer. "I have other matters to


    attend to," she retorted before hurrying away.


    Elyse arched an eyebrow. "That was quite the tant refusal, wasn''t it?"


    "If [hadn''t been so direct, she might have mistaken it for encouragement," Freddy sighed


    helplessly.


    He''d repeatedly told Rebekah he wasn''t interested, but she persistently pursued him, causing him no small amount of distress.


    "I''m off to Ms. Hopkins'' office now. I''ll give you my responseter," Elyse informed him.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Freddy was perplexed. "Why not give your answer now? Do you need to get permission from someone?"


    After a moment''s thought, Elyse removed the ne adorning her neck and showed him the wedding ring on it. "I''m married. I need to inform my husband about my dinner ns." If she didn''t inform Jayden, he might be upset once more.


    Freddy grew anxious. "Did you marry on a whim? If you have no feelings for him, there''s no need to treat him like a real husband."


    Elyse nodded. "Yes, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. But we have a good rtionship and might grow into a genuine couple."

    "Really? You''re quite fortunate," Freddy remarked, though a hint of sadness flickered in his eyes,


    carefully concealed from Elyse''s notice


    Even Elyse herself couldn''t believe the turn of events with Jayden.


    She tucked away the ne and stated, "I consider myself incredibly fortunate. Therefore, I want to value our rtionship."


    Freddy struggled to find the right words, feeling somewhat out of ce. He ended up holding back his thoughts.


    Unaware of Freddy''s inner turmoil, Elyse messaged Jayden, asking if she could skip dinner at home.


    Jayden''s response was unexpected. "Are you my servant? Do you need my approval?"


    Feeling a bit embarrassed, Elyse recalled how Theo used to control her social interactions and outings.


    She didn''t dare to delve into exnations and simply turned to Freddy, saying, "Give me a call after work tonight. I''ll join you."


    "Sure thing," Freddy responded with a nod.


    "Il be waiting for Ms. Hopkins in her office."


    ''An hourter, Wanda wrapped up her meeting.


    "Ms. Hopkins, is my punishment lifted? Can I return to practicing with everyone?" Elyse inquired

    Wanda took a sip from her mug, then replied, "I''ve put in the request. However, it may take a day


    or two for the higher-ups to officially lift your punishment. Keep an eye out for the notification at home over the next few days."


    Relieved, Elyse sighed. "That''s wonderful, Ms. Hopkins. I can''t wait to get back. Thank you." Wanda offered a bitter smile. "It''s odd. It seems every time you''repeting for the tour, there''s trouble. Why''s that?"


    "Apologies. That''s not my intention," Elyse replied, feeling a bit sheepish.


    Wanda sighed, gently patting her head in encouragement. "But you''re talented. Sometimes, great talent faces many hurdles before triumph."


    Her words lifted Elyse''s spirits. "I won''t give up!"


    With a supportive pat on her back, Wanda urged, "Well, don''t linger here. I''ve got work to do. You head home and await further notice."


    "Thank you. I''m off then." Exiting the office, she made her way to the staff lounge to await Freddy. After his shift, Freddy arrived promptly with his bag slung over his shoulder.


    Observing the pair walking together, Rebekah lingered at the lounge door, her toneced with curiosity. "Leaving now, are we?" Elyse shot back, "Why aren''t you heading out after your shift? nning to camp here overnight?"
