The next day, Ella went to work. The buzz from yesterday's news was still there. When people saw her, they froze and looked at her with conflicting emotions.
Ella was already used to it. She pretended not to see them and returned to her seat.
Caylee approached her and scolded her. "So you know how to come back, Ella. I thought you couldn't take it anymore and jumped."
Ella could not help laughing. "Do I look like someone who doesn't cherish my own life?"
"You don't, but you still shouldn't have disappeared. Do you know how much I worried about you?"
Yesterday, Ella's phone had been turned off. Caylee had been looking for her for the entire morning. It wasn't until that recording appeared that Caylee was relieved.
"I'm sorry. I'll tell you in advance before I disappear next time."
El
