Elijah Smith's gaze froze on the TV screen.
As Ella Adams elegantly sat down, the host holding the microphone eagerly began, "It's such a rare occasion to have Miss Adams as a guest today."
Ella Adams gave a light smile and said, "Hello."
What followed was a ten something minutes long business interview, detailing her journey as a businesswoman. Elijah Smith didn't care about the content; he just fixed his gaze on Ella Adams on the screen, comparing her silently to the Ella Adams who once cuddled up to him, asking for his attention.
She was much more beautiful now and made his heart race even faster. However, her eyes had lost some of their purity and cleanliness and gained a sense of detachment and indifference.
When she spoke, it was still her habit to smile first, but those smiles didn't reach her eyes anymore, leaving people with the impression that she was no longer smiling wholeheartedly.
