Present
Coffee Shop - Where Emma and Laras meet and talk to each other.
"Are you serious? Alan Smith, that man … is Ella's father?" Emma even closed her mouth, and couldn't believe what her friend was saying.
"Sorry Laras, I don't know about that man was Ella's father. it was surprised me because you also never want to tell me." Said Emma.
"I thought, I will not see him again. But in fact, he is like a ghost who continues to haunt my life." Said Laras.
"I will go."
"What? Go? What goes? What do you mean Laras?" Emma asked confused.
"Ella has graduated in twelfth grade, this year she will go to university. We are planning to resign, Ella and I have planned this for a long time."
"And we've discussed it before, Ella agreed. I think Ella and I save more than enough." Laras explained.
"What? You want to quit your job?" Emma asked confused.
Even though today she invited Laras to meet secretly at a coffee shop. Even though she should have said that Laras and Ella had to get out of the Huxley residence.
Even though Emma is still confused about how to tell Laras. Regarding the bad news that she will tell.
But suddenly Laras had said everything she wanted to say.
Emma breathed a sigh of relief because she couldn't bear to fire her best friend.
"And Emma ... one more thing," said Laras with a straight face.
"Yes ...? Is it about your and Ella's severance pay? Take it easy, I'll ask Thomas to spend a decent amount of money for both of you." Emma replied.
"No, it's about Ella and Mr. Edward. They look like ..."
"A pair of lovers, you mean," Emma answered quickly without waiting for Laras' answer.
"Ahh ... you already know it turns out." Laras stared in surprise at Emma.
"It's not that I don't like Edward Huxley, but you see how the history of the woman who's been around him all this time." Laras looked annoyed, she even played their fingers anxiously.
Emma still looks silent, should she tell Laras that Thomas knows Edward and Ella's feelings?
"No need, this will add to the burden on Laras' mind. Better, if she doesn't know it. Emma thought was sure.
"I just suspected Laras, lately I saw something strange between the two of them," Emma replied lying, she covered it by immediately drinking her coffee.

Daytime - At the Huxley Family's Stable
"What?!" Edward shouted in disbelief, his eyes staring with annoyance.
"Edward, you don't have to scream like that," Ella said more annoyed, she began to move some straw utensils into place.
Edward still followed Ella, who was in charge of cleaning the stables.
"Do you know where Bristol is? It's so far from London, you can take a three-hour drive from here." Edward said, still following Ella's steps. Heard Hercules neighing in his cage,
"See... Even Hercules agrees with my opinion."
"Since when you good at speaking animals, Edward Huxley? Get aside ..! Or this brush could hit your hard head." Ella accidentally bumped Edward's shoulder which was blocking her path.
"Why do you and your mother have to go out and stop working?" Edward still protested.
"First the city of Bristol is small and beautiful, not too noisy like in London. The cost of living there is also not expensive, not like here. And I will decide to study there." Said Ella while brushing the floor.
"What?! You're acting silly, Ella! When a lot of British people, want to study in London, you just choose a very far place."
"Is it about money? You shouldn't have to worry. Because I can give you ..."
Ella was already annoyed and quickly pointed her long floor brush at Edward.
"If you think I need your money, Mr. Edward? I'll brush your MOUTH NOW!" Said Ella annoyed.
"What?! Do you dare to do it with me? Just try it if you dare!" challenge Edward.
Ella took her steps forward with the floor brush still pointing forward, at the same time Edward also stepped back. Ella took another step in annoyance, and Edward stepped back again.
"You're serious. Want to brush my mouth with that?!" Edward pointed a disgusted glance at Ella's floor brush.
"Huh ... Come on, Edward, you shouldn't act like a child. Think of it as a good thing, there's no longer a description of me being a servant from your family. And I plan this with my mother for a long time."
"What do you think my mother and I worked so hard for? Just to work with your family, until I became an old maid?" Said Ella, who had lowered her floor brush.
"At least there, I can work and study. Not bad right? You can visit us, don't you? And you don't need to dramatize these things too much, I'm still in Britain, and this not the end of our life."
Edward immediately hugged Ella, "But you have to promise, you will not glance at the men there. Because you've become my lover."
"I'm not your lover, Mr. Edward, and remember I haven't answered anything about our relationship." Said Ella, releasing Edward's embrace.
"What? YOU REJECT ME ELLA AMBER?" Edward said incredulously.
"Edward Huxley, if you were a Ron, it might be easier for me to accept you as a lover." Ella reasoned earnestly.
"Have you been seduced by that nerdy guy?" Edward asked back.
"Huh? really? I think you are the one who is more tempted by many girls? Let me mention one by one the row of your ex-lovers! Umm... Victoria, Maggie, Lisa, Martha, Rose ..."
"Ella enough! I didn't know you could memorize all the rows of my ex's names. Don't you have any other work?" Edward looked at Ella, but his hand continued to grip her shoulders.
"Of course I memorize it very much, you always show me how friendly you are. Especially after you sleep with these women." Ella looked jealous.
"Mmm ... Eehh ... regarding that... There isn't a woman I've slept with yet." Edward said doubtfully, Ella stared in disbelief and sure that the man was lying.
"I can't believe it! An Edward Huxley never sleeps with his lovers?" Ella asks definitely.
"You have to believe, I just want to look like I slept with them. Why do you think I can quickly change partners. Because I also do not give them what they want."
"What about Rose, she even came out of your room naked," Ella said in disgust.
"The woman was too drunk, she tore her clothes herself. Indeed we were almost ... but nothing .. I'm not lying... You have to believe me." Edward hugged Ella back.
"I just want to get back at my father, you know I hate him so much." Said Edward again.
"Is it because of Mrs. Huxley? If so, your mind is too shallow Mr. Edward. She's a good mother .." said Ella.
"You don't know anything Ella, and I don't like that woman to be my mother and I won't think of her as my mother either." Edward tightened his embrace even more.
"That's what makes me keep thinking Edward, you're a man with a million uniqueness in you. And you have too many mysteries ..." Ella said softly.
"ELLAA ...." Jason who suddenly appeared, made them both surprised. Edward immediately let go of his hug and he began to stretch his arms strangely.
As for Ella, immediately turned her body and immediately brushed the floor near her.
"Ella, make sure the floor is clean!" said Edward pretending to look fierce, trying to cover his embarrassment at Jason who caught the two of them.
"Hah...?" Ella gave a strange glare at the man, who commanded her.
"Hi Jason .. you look younger, huh ..." said Edward then passed Jason who was still staring strangely and confused.
"Ella, Laras has warned me. Not to let you be here again," said Jason as he approached Ella who was still busy brushing the floor.
"Jason, you know I still need money. Just let my mom say what." Ella replied without stopping from brushing the floor.
"Was that a punishment from Mr. Edward?" Jason asked but he grinned with amusement.
"What? Punishment?" Ella immediately stopped brushing and straightened up,
"I mean that hug .. hehehe ..."
Ella stared annoyed at Jason, who seemed to be teasing her and Edward's actions. Just now she wanted to reply to Jason's words. But her cell phone rings.
Ella's cell phone rang quite loudly, she saw an unknown number was on her incoming call. Ella thought for a few seconds, whether she should lift the number?
"Hello, who is this?"
