NovelAppShe pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Carle also knew that it was tto end the conversation. He simpered, “Alright, | better not hold you up. | hope after this, you will stop avoiding me. | hope we can still talk and meet every once in a while. | promise | will try my best to reign in my feelings.” Carle's request put Elisa on the spot. “Okay, but | may get tied up with work. We can meet up after my work has eased off.” “Okay, I'll wait for you.” Carle was delighted, “You should get back to work now. We'll talk again soon.” “Okay.” Elisa hung up the phone without hesitation.

Carle...
What should | do with him after this? Elisa contemplated her options before consulting Sheena and Rachel on WhatsApp.
Elisa: ‘Carle calledjust now. He knows | never loved him, and | only agreed to start a relationship with him to keep him alive.’ Sheena: ‘What did he say?’ Sheena’s response was prompt. Elisa knew Sheena was worried about Carle.
Rachel: ‘Have you told him? How did he take it?’ Elisa: ‘He took it well. He said Sheen was right. Love should be self-sacrificial and not possessive.’ Sheena: ‘It's a good thing that he finally understands it.” Rachel: ‘Then what else did he say?’ Elisa: ‘He asked to be friends like how we used to. He askednot to estrange him, and he will control his feelings and emotions, but... | don’t know if..." Elisa didn’t speak any further. She was confused.
Sheena understood her concerns; she was worried about the sthing too. After a brief pause, she wrote again.

Can you go and check on him when you're free?’ Rachel: ‘Okay, I'll see him tonight.’ Sheena: ‘Go and have a talk with him. Remember not to trigger his anxiety. Sigh. | don’t know if | have done the right thing telling him all these things...’ Rachel: ‘Of course, you did the right thing! It's good for the three of you to talk things out and nib the problem in the bud! No, it should be four of us! Although I'm a bystander, all of you are my friends. | do feel awkward as well. It is good to clear the air!! I'll go and see him tonight.” Rachel: ‘Forget it. I'd better take leave. I'll go over now to see how he is doing. All of you are my good friends. | don’t want to lose any of you. No one should be left behind!! Alright, | have to stop here. I'm signing off now.’ Elisa: ‘Go, Sheen. Don't overthink. You've made the right move.’ Elisa wasn't in a suitable position to open up with Carle because she was directly involved in this love triangle. She didn’t want to trigger Carle. But if it cfrom Sheen, it would be easier for Carle to take in the notion, and the impact would also be significantly alleviated.
Sheena: ‘Well... Then I'll go to work now. We'll talk later.” Elisa: ‘Okay.’ After Elisa finished speaking, she hung up her phone. She tidied her cascading hair strands and sorted her thoughts and emotions before returning to work.
It wasn't a productive day at work for Elisa.
And it was almost tto go home.
Elisa saved sdocuments on the USB flash drive and left the office.
