These messed–up flashes of memory needed to quit popping into her head,

As soon as the hangover soup was ready, Maya hrought it out and placed it in front of her. “Here, try it. I’m not promising it tastes good. I followed some random tutorial online. If it sucks, blame the recipe, not the chef.”

“What are you talking about? I trust your cooking” Ellis smiled and picked up the bowl without hesitation.

But after a few sips, her expression started to shift. Her face didn’t look disgusted, but there was a quiet kind of suffering behind her eyes.

Maya raised an eyebrow, “That bad?”

“Uh… yeah, kind of Ellis debated whether to crush her friend’s ego or just suffer in silence

The truth was, Ellis had no talent in the kitchen–and Maya’s skills were even worse. There were no words to describe how tragically bad this soup tasted.

She swallowed the honest feedback and forced a smile. “It’s alright”

“If it sucks, just toss it. I’ll order some hangover soup from a real place. Maya was totally unfazed. She didn’t care if Ellis finished it or not.

“In that case, let’s go

Right as the words left Ellis’s mouth, the doorbell rang.

They both paused.

No need to guess–it had to be Easton.

No one else had such an unhealthy obsession with their doorbell.

“Wanna answer it?” Maya asked casually “Or just ignore i

“With that guy? If we don’t open up, he’ll keep ringing and drive us crazy.” Ellis pressed her palms together like she was praying “Please tell him I’m not home. I don’t want to see him.”

“You got it.”

Maya headed to the door like a soldier on a mission. The moment she opened it, she said, “Mr. Shen, Ellis isn’t here. She stepped out.”

Easton frowned “She was pretty out of it last night. She already has the strength to go out?”

“Excuse me?” Maya’s alarms went off instantly. “How would you know she was drunk last night?”

“You two didn’t close the door. I came by and walked in. Saw her with my own eyes.” Easton was completely straightforward. “Where were you? She was drunk and you weren’t even here to take care of her?”

It wasn’t meant to be an accusation, just confusion. Normally, Maya would’ve been there.

Maya’s eyes widened. Wait–what?

She could’ve sworn she’d shut the door. But Easton didn’t seem like he was lying, and Ellis really had been wasted last night.

Could she have been in such a rush to get back to the office that she forgot to shut the door properly!

Suddenly, her mind flashed back to Ellis’s question earlier that morning–asking if Easton had been there last night.

Easton didn’t bother arguing. Instead, he lifted the thermal container in his hand.

“I brought her hangover soup. Could you please give it to her? It works really well”

He’d seen how badly she was doing the night before, so he’d asked someone to prepare the soup and brought it himself. A gesture, really—to help her feel better, and maybe, just maybe, earn back a little goodwill.

He was sure Ellis was home. Maya, unlike Ellis, wouldn’t throw the soup back in his face. She took it silently and closed the door, marching back toward the dining table.

“Ellis, your ex just dropped off some hangover soup.”

She plopped the container down in front of her.

Ellis’s face darkened instantly. “How the hell did he know I was drunk?”

Maya’s shoulders hunched a little, voice small. “He said he came by last night.”

“What?” Ellis’s voice shot up. “He was here?”

“Yeah,” Maya said awkwardly. “After I dropped you off, I had to run back to the office. I guess I was in too much of a rush and didn’t close the door. So your ex
