When she saw the caller ID, her expression changed slightly and she immediately answered the call.
''Ruby… Is everything alright?" It was unlike Ruby to call her out of nowhere.
"Are you going to attend your parent's anniversary this time?" Ruby asked suddenly.
''Yes…" Ella paused for a moment, "Have they asked you to go there with Max? Ruby, you don't need to worry about me…"
When Ruby remained silent, Ella continued speaking, ''When I said that there is nothing between me and Max, I mean it…"
Ella would eventually show Ruby Max's true colors to protect her from her horrible fate but till then, she would not let the girl misunderstand her.
In this life, a man would never be the reason for conflict between their friendship.
Ruby was silent for a few moments before she opened her mouth, "Actually, I am not—"
'Crash'
Following the sound, Ruby went silent.
Ella straightened on the couch, "Ruby… Ruby?!" Her heart thundered.
