I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Money Transfer

After judging him inwardly. Ellis took out her phone from her bag.

Finished

It was boring to just stare at the scenery endlessly, so she started to scroll on her Instagram feed. Suddenly, Maya’s photo popped up. Recalling when Morty instructed her to like her Instagram posts this morning, she gave Maya’s photo a like.

As the saying went, “Once is a habit in the making. Ever since Morty first messaged her about it, she had developed a pattern. Whenever he posted something about Maya, and she didn’t like it, he would message her as if she was his personal like

At times, Morty could be an incredibly childish man.

Their conversation had ended with her remark about discriminating against him. After that, they didn’t speak again until the car pulled up in front of Tate Group’s entrance. Just as Ellis was about to step out, Morty finally said, “Why did you discriminate against me?”

Upon hearing this question, Ellis was in complete disbelief.

His reaction time was slow indeed. Why would he ask her this atter so long?

“You always talk with that sarcastic tone, and you know exactly what you’ve done. Don’t act like you have no idea why I can’t stand you,” she snapped. ‘Oh, and you love playing the victim too.”

To be fair, it wasn’t exactly discrimination. It was just pure dislike.

Morty had always been a troublemaker, and even now, he wasn’t much better. If she didn’t dislike him, then who else was more deserving?

If she were to rank the people she hated the most. Easton would be at the top, followed by Victoria, and Morty would take third place. These three were equally insufferable.

The first two were entirely unforgivable because just looking at them felt like contamination. If it weren’t for her current. business ties with Morty, she would have treated him the same way, as bad luck she wanted nothing to do with. She wouldn’t even bother pretending to be nice.

“I was just “Morty started, but his brain seemed to stall, unable to piece together a defense.

Anything you say is just an excuse, and I don’t want to hear it, Ellis cut him off. She swung the door open, stepped out of the car, and walked away without looking back.

Looking at her receding back, a smile appeared on Morty’s face.

Hearing his boss being openly discriminated against, the driver instinctively glanced at the rearview mirror to gauge his

reaction.

Surprisingly, there wasn’t a hint of displeasure on Morty’s face. Instead, he seemed to be in a good mood, his faint smile carrying a trace of indulgence.

Moreover, before stepping out of the car, he was fully engrossed in his phone, fingers clearly typing away.

The first thing Ellis did upon returning to the office was head to HR to relay Lois‘ order, ensuring that Amelia was out by the end of the day. Well, better to handle it swiftly and avoid any complications.

Stretching lazily, Ellis ended yet another busy day.

Before she left the office, she picked up her phone and checked if there were any missed calls or texts.

She habitually clicked on her WhatsApp. Amidst the flooding messages, Morty’s texts were the most eye–catching ones. He had forwarded her a money transfer notification, stating that he had transferred her 26 thousand dollars.

Well, she was no exception to the temptation of money. With her curiosity and temptation for money, she clicked into their chat box.

Morty wrote, “I was wrong before. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I don’t know what kind of gifts you like, so here’s a small gift from me: please accept it and buy something for yourself with that money.”

Morty’s sudden apology, coupled with a sincere” money transfer?

Once again. Ellis found herself unable to fully understand Morty. He was acting completely out of character.

Lately, he had not only maintained a polite and mild demeanor around her, but he had also been surprisingly generous Compared to his usual annoying behavior, he seemed like a completely different person. But if she looked further back, there had been times when he acted normal before.

She was tempted to accept the money, but the moment she recalled how Morty had once “framed her for cheating, her irritation resurfaced. Ignoring his message, she decided to leave him hanging

Whatever the reason behind his recent politeness, she wasn’t about to let her guard down, let alone be swayed by a bit of money. Staying cautious would only benefit her; better safe than sorry.

After finishing up her replies to other important messages, Ellis suddenly remembered that Sophia had called her earlier. She pulled up her call log, found Sophia’s number, and pressed dial.

It was late at night when Ellis called Sophia. She asked. Finally free?”

Yep. Ellis tugged some of the hair on her face away and said. “Madam Sophia, you called me today. What’s the matter?”

Although Sophia had countered her before by saying, “Can’t I look for you just because?“, Ellis knew there must be a reason.

“It’s still about that matter. Send me your bank account details” Sensing that Ellis was about to refuse again, Sophia simply added. “Doesn’t matter if you don’t send it. I can find it myself Just keep an eye on your account in the next few days.”
