This was actually a subtle revenge for being rejected during the meeting with the narrative designer team. She was very pleased to see the CEO's disappointment, just as she had been when she was rejected. She almost let out a laugh when she saw the CEO's face turn cold upon hearing her rejection. This way, there would be no more misunderstandings about their friendship. She wanted to emphasize that she no longer hoped to be his girlfriend.
"What do you mean you were rejected? I can't have lunch with you today."
Flint laughed in annoyance, folding his arms. "Who are you going to have lunch with that you dare turn me down so quickly?"
"Friend."
"Is he a man?"
Ellen laughed awkwardly as the CEO's tone became increasingly harsh. "Do I have the right to tell you that?"
"I mean, everyone hates you lately. Is it safe for you to have lunch with your friend? Will she pick you up later?"
"No. I'll go there myself. You don't need to worry about me too much."
