NovelEnglishEloise didn't ask him to stay, because she knew he wouldn't.
She stood at the table, reluctantly looking at him walking out of the restaurant. Through the French window, he walked further and further away, got into the car, and drove away.
Watching the car disappear from her sight, she slowly withdrew her eyes and sat down again in her chair.

Soon after, two reporters came over with their cameras.
"Ms. Calder, do you want to see the pictures?" They were excited, "We have caught a lot of moments to write about.” "I don't need to look at them." Eloise looked at them and smiled, "I believe in your professional ability. You have been in this business for years, just do your job.” "Yes, Ms. Calder! We'll go back and write the news now, and hopefully it would come out tonight!" "We will try and let out the news tonight, Ms. Calder!” Eloise did not speak, watching them leave with all smiles.
After the reporters left, Eloise took her bag and walked out. She got into the passenger's seat, "Holly, Finnley is serious about Mya. He bought a new house, partly to avoid us, but most of the reason is that he’s thinking about having kids with Mya!” The middle-aged woman who had been waiting in the car turned to look at her, "Ms. Calder, he is not yet married, things might still change.” Then she started the car.
"Since | was a child, | have never failed to get what | want!" Eloise had much confidence, "I will take this as a challenge, a game!” "Where are we going now?” Thinking of the news that was going to be let out and spread all over the Internet of her and Finnley, Eloise was in a good mood, "Let's go shopping. | need to buy a beautiful skirt!” “Okay.” "Who did you think it was that kidnapped Mya?" Eloise had thought about this, but she couldn't figure it out because she didn't know anything about the feuds among the prominent families in Arkpool.
"How can | know?" Holly casually said, "The mayor should have a lot of enemies, right? Maybe one of them took his daughter to get back at him.” Eloise nodded thoughtfully. It made sense.
The car soon stopped on the liveliest street in the city, where there were a lot of luxury stores. Eloise and Holly got off and walked toward a brightly-lit clothing store.
When she entered the store, Eloise saw a woman who had just paid the bill walking towards her with bags.

Linda greeted her, "Ms. Calder, what a coincidence! There are a lot of limited-edition new styles here in that area. You have a perfect figure, I'm sure they all suit you well. Do you need me to help you choose?” Holly looked at Linda and looked back at Eloise.
Eloise asked lightly, "Who are you? Do we know each other?” Linda opened her mouth with a face of surprise. Did she see it wrong? No! She and Eloise had had coffee in the coffeehouse near the company the other day.
"I'm Linda. Ms. Calder, have you forgotten about me?" Linda carefully asked. "I'm Finnley's assistant. We had coffee together the other day.” "Oh, | remember you now." Eloise smiled. "I just had dinner with Finnley, and he mentioned you.” They just had dinner? "What did he say about me?" Linda asked nervously, eager to know.
Eloise, with a smile, looked at her up and down, "he said... The clothes you are wearing are too nice for you.”
