When Ashley arrived at their meeting spot, Ellie was already there waiting for her.
She smiled happily and walked towards Ellie.
When Ashely was already behind Ellie, she tapped Ellie on the shoulder gently and called out, "Ellie!"
"Ashley! You are finally here."
Ellie was so happy to see Ashley too.
"Let's go?"
"Okay."
Ashley and Ellie walked side by side towards their old apartment.
When they met the last time, they had a lot to talk about. But they didn't have enough time, and the place wasn't appropriate, so they didn't get much chance to really catch up.
Finally, they are together again.
Ashley and Ellie were familiar with this place because they used to live here before.
"Do you want to go upstairs to have a look?" Ellie asked.
She was wearing a creamy white dress, and her shoulder-length hair was permed into small waves. She didn't look like she was thirty years old at all.
"Do you still live here?" Ashley asked in surprise.
Ellie said nothing and just led Ashley upstairs.
Ellie didn't tell Ashley that she had already bought the apartment that they rented together before.
When Ashley left for no reason, she saved enough money, so she could buy it.
Ellie would occasionally come back here and stay for a few days.
For her, this was her home.
After all, this place had always been convenient to live in.
The surroundings were clean, and the neighborhood was safe. Moreover, there were elevators inside the building that worked well.
That was the reason why even though the rent was expensive, they chose to live here in the past.
They didn't actually expect that they would live here for a long time until Ashley just left all of a sudden.
Ellie took out the keys and opened the door.
Ashley was so surprised that the furnishings inside were still the same.
As she looked around, she suddenly remembered her old days with Ellie in t
me bad people were after them.
They were scared to death at the moment.
As they were waiting for the person outside the door to speak, they were all holding their breaths.
"Who is that? Didn't we just pay some of our debt yesterday?" Jacob asked. His face looked horrified.
"Let me check again. If it's really that group of bad guys, let's pretend that we are not home. If no one answers them for a long time, they might just leave," Tomas said.
"Okay," Jacob agreed.
Tomas looked through the peephole again.
"Who are they? Are they the bad guys who came here yesterday?" Jacob asked again.
"I don't think so. It seems that only one man is standing outside. And he is dressed smartly. He doesn't look like a bad guy at all," Tomas replied.
"Let me have a look," Jacob said.
He pushed Tomas to the side and peered through the peephole.
But he couldn't recognize the man standing outside the door.
"Should I open the door?" he asked Tomas.
"Maybe you should. After all, we already paid our debt yesterday. I don't think those bad guys would come back and ask for money again today. And if it's really them, we can ask for more money from Angelina later."
"Yes, you're right."
After hesitating for a while, Jacob finally opened the door.
