章 75: I Like You

JASON POV:

I definitely don't like how things are going. First, Ella and I have that argument where she accuses me of kissing her just for show. Then, she turns down the chance to work with my company, which would've been a great stepping stone for her. And as if things weren't confusing enough, Max throws out this wild theory about her possibly having a sugar daddy. At first, I brushed it off. I mean, this is Ella—stubborn, independent Ella. But then we walk into the diner and see her laughing and chatting with some wealthy older guy, someone who's clearly not just some regular customer.

I tried convincing myself that there was some logical explanation, that things weren't as they seemed. But when we finally ask her about it, she just smirks and says, "I like mature guys." What the hell is that supposed to mean? Is she messing with us? Or… is this really happening?
