The next afternoon, on her way to the cafeteria with scolleagues for lunch, Ellie was chatting about how her computer had been remotely controlled the night before. As they entered the cafeteria, enthusiastic screams from sfemale coworkers filled the air.

The sudden physical contact, mixed with his familiar scent of sandalwood and a hint of tobacco, made Ellie's mind go blank for a moment! Once Alex let go, Ellie hurriedly reached for her phone. "Give it back!" she whispered, glancing nervously at the giggling coworkers around her.

"You're getting bold, huh? Changed your password again?" Alex teased, turning to grab Ellie's wrist in an attempt to unlock her phone. She quickly pulled away and dodged him.

Ellie wanted to snatch her phone back but was scared he would unlock it before she could get it. With her coworkers cheering them on, she decided to sprint towards the entrance.

Everyone around thought Alex was her boyfriend since he kept coming by for Haley's sake. To make things worse, after that kiss in the hallway, no one believed her frantic explanations. The more she tried to explain, the more outrageous Alex became.

"Do you dare to run away?!" Alex called after her.

At the window of the hospital cafeteria, Ellie found herself pinned against the glass by Alex. He held her hands above her head with one arm, trapping her with his body. The awkward position made her ears burn with embarrassment. "Everyone's watching! Letgo!" "Not a chance!" Alex grinned.

He awkwardly maintained that position while forcefully unlocking Ellie's phone with her fingerprint, completely unfazed by how inappropriate this was.

With her pinned in front of him, he glanced over her phone while playfully interrogating her, "So, who's the guy you were with last night, huh?" Ellie could clearly hear her coworkers laughing nearby, wishing she could just sink into the ground! "No one! It was Aaron!" Ellie blurted, desperate to escape the situation.

Hearing this, Alex's expression softened a bit. He leaned closer, locking eyes with her flushed face. "What's the password to your album?" Ellie's heart raced, and she started squirming. The only locked album on her phone was filled with her private photos of Alex! 12:20 Sun, Jan 26 GT Chapter 32 "Give it back!" she cried, her frustration bubbling over.

Seeing Ellie getting emotional, Alex finally released her but didnt return her phone.
