In the dormitory, Ella Turner opened the door, grabbed the handle, and stood straight at the entrance, waiting for Elijah Reed to finish visiting the patient.
However, Elijah said to her, "Classmate, you go take your exam! I'll leave later and will close the door."
Hearing that Elijah was going to stay, Ella looked very troubled and stammered, "Assistant Reed, this isn't right! Maya is a girl, and besides, last time there was a scandal involving you two."
"You know it was a scandal, would I really misbehave with my BOSS's sister?"
Elijah stayed to apologize for the scandal last time. After the incident, he hid far away and didn't come out to clear up the misunderstanding between them.
He didn't want to clarify because he was afraid he'd have to explain that he took Maya to the hotel because she was drugged, and to the hospital to check for AIDS; such an explanation would only make things worse, so he resigned himself to bearing this black pot.
