"No! No! Didn’t you leave? Why are you still using this phone number? This isn’t right!" Maya’s tears abruptly stopped as she suddenly realized sothing was wrong: why was Ella still using this phone number?
"Uh... I didn’t manage to leave, I’m still in S City." Maya explained hesitantly, feeling a bit awkward.
"Why? That’s impossible! When I received the principal’s call that day, you were already on the plane. Why didn’t you manage to leave?" Ella was shocked.
"Ella, let’s talk when we et, it’s too complicated to explain over the phone."
"Mm-hmm!" So, the two girls agreed to et at noon to discuss the tornt each had been through recently.
...
In a certain coffee shop in the departnt store, Maya arrived early and waited for Ella at a window seat.
She thought, during this ti Ella must have been terrified, which led her to quit her job and hide at ho, not daring to see anyone. Clearly, Liam caused not only Maya’s phobia but also Ella’s.
In the coffee shop, she supported her chin with her left hand on the table, watching the custors coming and going outside the window, her mind pondering how to explain her relationship with Liam to Ella.
Now that she and Liam had reconciled, Ella would surely feel awkward.
She raised her right hand, glanced at her watch; it was already 12 o’clock. After eting, they would change venues to a restaurant for lunch.
But after waiting for 50 minutes, why hadn’t Ella arrived? Maya worried that sothing had happened to her and called her again.
On the other end, Ella cheerfully, hastily said, "I haven’t been out for a while, just did a bit of grooming, I’m already in the elevator, will be there soon, will be there soon!"
As she hung up the phone, the elevator happened to stop at the intended floor. She scratched her short hair, took big strides, and hurriedly walked towards the coffee shop.
"Oh my..." In her haste, she didn’t look carefully at the road ahead and clumsily bumped into a strong chest, hurting her nose.
Therefore, she held her nose, raised her head, glared angrily at the person, and reproached, "Are you blind when walking? It hurt when you bumped into ."
Just as she finished speaking, she regretted it imdiately, quickly bowed her head, pretended nothing happened, and moved two steps to the right, bypassed the man she bumped into, and quickly left the scene.
However, she had barely taken two steps when the man grabbed her collar and forcibly pulled her back.
Seeing her still holding her nose, the man took a deep breath, threw her aside, raised his right hand, took away the hand she was covering her nose with, and angrily said, "Ella, don’t think just because you’ve cut your hair short, I won’t recognize you."
The man’s tone was unpleasant, as if he had deep-seated hatred towards her.
Ella looked at the man’s angry expression, imdiately raised her lips and greeted him with a fake smile, "Assistant Reed, long ti no see!"
"Ha-ha! Long ti no see? Indeed, a long ti! How dare you show up in S City? Shouldn’t you have disappeared with Lillian?" Elijah fud over her helping Lillian to abduct Maya, his anger boiling.
Today, having caught her, he was determined to teach her a lesson to prevent future similar offenses.
"Disappear? What did you do to President Morris? You couldn’t have silenced her, right!" Hearing the word ’disappear,’ Ella quickly took a few steps back, trying to seize the chance to flee.
Elijah, seeing her little moves, swiftly grabbed her wrist and pulled her in the opposite direction, saying, "Daring to abduct the boss’s wife, you must give a reasonable explanation to the BOSS."
Though Elijah wasn’t Liam, rembering Ella pushing Maya into Lillian’s arms made him not any less angry, even more furious than Liam.
Ella, panicked after being grabbed, quickly squatted on the ground, rummaged through her bag with her left hand, looking for a phone to call Maya for help.
Seeing her actions, Elijah imdiately snatched her phone, angrily saying, "Even if you call the boss’s wife, it’s of no use, you must see the BOSS."
"I won’t go! I won’t go! Let go of !" Ella squatted on the ground, struggling while shouting not to see Liam.
Liam, that big pervert, since he could abuse Maya so severely, would definitely not let her off easily, so she absolutely couldn’t go.
"Now you’re scared, why didn’t you consider the consequences when abducting the boss’s wife?" Elijah heard her cries, showing no sympathy, still pulling her to et Liam.
At this mont, Ella also panicked. She fiercely pinched Elijah’s arm, reasoning, "Maya and President Morris are in love, you forced and threatened her, I’m only fulfilling my humanitarian and friendship duties by saving her from distress, why should I disappear?"
Ella thought she was about to be silenced too.
Her defense made Elijah displeased; he abruptly hauled Ella up from the ground, lowered his head to stare into her eyes, and solemnly asked, "Do you have a problem with your vision? When did Miss Maya fall in love with President Morris? Can’t you see she’s happy with the BOSS?"
"I can’t see!" Ella said pitifully, biting her lip and shaking her head.
Elijah, hearing her retort, took a deep breath, angrily pulling her, and said, "Too lazy to explain to you, co with to et the BOSS."
"Won’t go! Won’t go! Elijah, let go of . Are you Liam’s lapdog? You ddle in his love life too? What does it have to do with you? Seriously, a dog ddling in others’ business." Seeing that reasoning with him was useless, Ella resorted to provocation, hoping he’d spare her.
"What did you just call ?" Elijah was very averse to being called a dog; last ti he got into a fight with Henry for calling him a ’dog.’
Moreover, he and Liam’s feelings were beyond their understanding, so he hated others’ careless comnts, especially using the word ’dog.’
Ella observed Elijah’s furrowed brows, struggled twice, and stuttered, "I... I an... exactly, you’re just an assistant, why ddle in the boss’s love life? Isn’t it a dog’s business?"
At this ti, a crowd of passersby gathered around them, watching the scene.
"Then I’m definitely ddling in this business." Elijah gritted his teeth in anger.
"Help! Help! I don’t know him, soone please save ." Seeing Elijah had no plans to let her go, Ella pleaded to the surrounding pedestrians.
However, nobody paid her any mind, only pointing and comnting.
"Elijah, let go of , there’s no need for you to ddle as a dog, let go of , you’re Liam’s lapdog, even if I abducted Maya, that’s soone else’s wife, not yours." Being dragged made Ella frustrated, so she lashed out without restraint.
But as Ella shouted this, everyone started pointing at her, thinking she had done sothing wrong.
Hearing her continually insult with ’dog,’ Elijah’s mind went blank with rage; he imdiately flung her in front of him and angrily warned, "Try insulting again?"
