Ellie remained seated in the classroom after the break, experiencing a sense of frustration that led her to gaze at the ceiling, lost in contemplation. Once the bell signifying the end of the day rang, her classmates hurriedly exited the classroom with enthusiasm. Ellie lingered in the space for a few moments before ultimately deciding to leave. By this time, most of her peers had already departed. She positioned herself to await the arrival of her driver. Upon spotting the vehicle, she swiftly approached, and her driver promptly opened the door of her golden-colored car for her to enter. Once inside, as the driver began the journey home, he inquired, "How was your day, Miss?" Reflecting on the events of the day, Ellie responded calmly, "It was fine; I even interacted with some of the other students." The driver offered a gentle smile and replied positively.
Upon their arrival at her residence, the driver exited the car and opened the door for Ellie. After she alighted, she expressed her gratitude towards the driver before proceeding towards the grand, gilded door, which opened to grant her entry. As she stepped inside, the household staff and butler greeted her with bows, demonstrating their respect. Ellie's family was extraordinarily affluent due to their generational involvement in the international chocolate industry. She possessed all the luxuries one could desire, including opulent vehicles, high-priced toys, and exclusive designer clothing; she even had a mansion abroad that her parents had purchased for her.
Ellie entered the living room but quickly made her way to her bedroom, where she changed into casual attire and collapsed onto her large bed. She instructed her maid that she was not hungry and sat in solitude, absorbed in her thoughts. Ellie had consistently pondered why she did not resemble her mother's beauty or her father's features. Feeling a profound sense of loneliness, she decided to venture to the living room to seek conversation. However, upon noticing her mother engaged with a guest on the couch, she instantly regretted her choice, recalling her mother's instructions never to emerge from her room during a visitor's presence.
