Chapter 633

Ellie left Orion’s hospital room and returned to her office, where she ran into Lacey, who was there to see Mark. They paused to chat for a bit by the elevator.

“Come on, let’s go. It’s tough to get tickets for superstar Sebastian’s concert. I’m all set. You, me, and Diana–we haven’t hung out in ages,” Lacey urged Ellie to join her at the concert.

“Alright, I’ll try,” Ellie agreed cheerfully. It had been a while since the three of them had gone out together.

“Mr. Warren,” Lacey greeted Alex as she saw him approaching.

Alex paused, his gaze briefly landing on Ellie. Nodding halfheartedly, he stuck his hands into his suit pants pockets and waited for the elevator.

Lacey looked back and forth between Ellie and Alex. She was dumbfounded and thought, ‘Alex isn’t acting arrogant around Ellie as usual? That is unheard of. Lacey stared at them in disbelief.

“Lacey, Dr. Grant is in his office, you should go,” Ellie reminded her, and Lacey took the hint and left.

“Mr. Warren.” Ellie approached him. Seeing that Alex hadn’t moved, Ellie decided to apologize. “It was my fault for leaving during your dinner last night, I’m sorry,” she said, feeling it was necessary to apologize to Alex.
