Chapter 153 Neighborly Nuisances

Finished

Ellis removed Amelia’s hands from her own and picked up the coffee and cake, casually setting them on a nearby colleague’s desk. Under her colleague’s puzzled gaze, she smiled and said. “It’s Amelia’s thoughtfulness; let’s not waste it

She had actually wanted to throw it straight into the trash, but considering she worked on the same floor as Amelia and they saw each other often, she reluctantly resisted the urge to snub Amelia outright.

As the boss’s personal secretary, Ellis was a notch above Amelia, who was one of many secretaries in the CEO’s office. If Ellis didn’t want the snack, pushing it onto her colleague was hardly a faux pas; no one would blame Ellis for it.

Weighing her options, the colleague returned the snack, saying. Tm not used to fancy desserts; better let Amelia enjoy her

own treat.

The snack made a full circle and ended up back with Amelia, who couldn’t help but mutter under her breath about Ellis being hard to please: nothing seemed to work.

“Alright then,” Amelia, embarrassed yet polite, smoothed her hair and took the snack back to her desk.

She appeared focused on her work, but in reality, she was busy gathering gossip and discussing the company’s recent meeting with Nexus Group.

Ellis, just an ordinary employee, had dismissed Morty outright, refusing to add him on WhatsApp and not giving him an easy way out, even making side remarks about him being idle and petry. Amelia was itching to understand the dynamics. between Ellis and Morty.

Morty was a potential ladder for her social climbing, a juicy opportunity she was eager to seize. If Ellis couldn’t be a bridge to Morty, she definitely shouldn’t become a barrier.

Facing off against Ellis, a striking beauty. Amelia felt she couldn’t compete, especially since the rich and handsome typically preferred women with strong personalities who didn’t just conform to men’s wishes, unlike her own tendency to pander to

them.

After all, the rich and handsome were never short of women who catered to their every whim.

On Sunday, Ellis woke up at noon and got out of bed in a second.

She had two plans for the day: first, to look after Casey and second, to have dinner and shop with Maya in the evening. She needed to get to Petal Estates early or she risked standing Maya up which would definitely upset her.

After a quick wash and breakfast, she headed straight for Petal Estates. Whether it was bad luck or just a small world, she ran into Morty just a few feet from Casey’s place, walking his dog.

The dog, an adorable Samoyed, wagged its tail as Morty strolled leisurely. He clearly saw her too and changed his path to head her way.

Could Casey consider moving to another neighborhood? Ellis really wanted to suggest he relocate. Being neighbors with Morty: meant running into hum every time she visited, which was always unpleasant..

With Easton out of the picture, it seemed Morty had taken up the mantle of making her life miserable. She didn’t bother pretending she hadn’t heard him, instead showing her annoyance at acknowledging but wanting to ignore him.

She kept walking, but Morty deliberately blocked her path, making her concede, “Aren’t you childish! Got too much free time! Aren’t you embarrassed? Just by saying hello, you get me upset?” Monty picked up the dog that was pawing at him, stroking its fluffy head. “Do you have a reaction every time you see me?”

Morty stopped short of saying more, his expression clearly articulating the insults he held back. Easton was bad enough, and

his childhand friends were no bettart
