He chose not to linger around the duo any longer. However, before departing, Leonel casually said, “By the way, are you shopping for a Valentine's Day gift, Luis? I'm curious how many gifts you're planning to buy though."

Caught off guard, Luis forced a smile and responded, “Actually, I'm here to buy a break-up gift!"

With a knowing look, Leonel glanced at Elva and mentioned, "Well, my dear sister has quite the discerning taste in gifts! Don't think you can appease her with something cheap!"

Having dealt with Leonel in business, Luis knew his influence, but he hadn't expected Leonel to be so sharp in personal exchanges as well.

After Leonel walked away, Luis turned to Elva and asked softly, "What do you like? I'll buy it for you, whatever it is."

Elva positioned herself in front of the counter.

Her knee-high boots made her appear especially tall and sexy.

After hearing what Luis said, Elva flipped over her hair and said indifferently, "No, thanks. We're not together anymore!"

With that, she was ready to Leave.

However, Luis held her back, exclaiming, "Don't be so stubborn!"

Elva gave a slight smile and retorted, “I'm being stubborn? What? Just because I won't take your gift? Luis, I was compliant when we were together because I liked you. But now that we've broken up, why should I still listen to you? It simply doesn't make sense!"

After a brief pause, she scoffed and continued, "Don't push your Luck, Luis. I'm not sure how you feel since our breakup, but I hope to never see you again! You know I'm not one to forgive easily, Luis."

Luis then blurted out, “Did you cry last night?"

Elva pulled away from him, visibly disgusted.

After a silence, she said softly, "Luis, do you even realize what you're doing? It's a basic rule to leave each other alone after breaking up! The way you're treating me, even trying to give me a gift... It could easily lead to misunderstandings! I won't pry into your new relationship, and you should stay out of my affairs! Since you chose to end things... we are nothing more than strangers now."

With those words, Elva turned and walked away, not once looking back.

She didn't hesitate. It wasn't that she no longer had feelings for Luis, but she had been the one left behind in their relationship.

She owed it to herself to maintain her dignity!

She preferred to cry alone rather than seek comfort from Luis.

She would not interfere with the happy couple, nor would she vie for Luis' attention against the girl named Holley! When she discovered Luis' affair with another woman, he was as good as dead to her!
