I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 A Windfall of Wonders

“I wasn’t clear just now; it was from someone I dislike.”

*Consider it unsaid.” Watching Zoey zip her lips, Ellis pointed at her desk, hinting for her to get back to work and stop gossiping.

Zoey, weary from her workload, sought a break by slacking off

Pretending not to understand the hint, she nudged Ellis’s shoulder lightly. “Ms. Harper, the Tate Group has asked our company to send a representative to their office tomorrow. Can I apply to go?

“I’m not handling that project anymore; ask someone else.” As of two days ago, Ellis had decided to distance herself from Easton and that whole crowd, including not dealing with any of their interests. She had already handed off her responsibilities to other colleagues.

“Why aren’t you handling it? You and Mr. Morty seemed so close.” Zoey suddenly remembered the gossip that had circulated. within the company, “Mr. Morty, he’s tall, handsome, and as gentle as a breeze, a real gentleman…..

“Ellis didn’t know how Zoey determined the quality of relationships, but hearing praise for someone she disliked made her want to claw at the floor.

Maybe I should save up and do something better instead of torturing my toes.

Interrupting Zoey, she said. “It’s work hours. Don’t get lovesick!”

Sensing Ellis’s disdain and contempt, Zocy tried to make her see the appeal, “Ms. Harper, handsome men are a rare resource in life. Describing Mr. Morty as one–in–a–million isn’t an exaggeration, it’s…”

“Go

get some work done! Ellis covered her ears, physically showing her reluctance to hear any more praises of Morty. She truly didn’t find him attractive; hearing it over and over was like noise pollution.

Taking the hint that she was being dismissed, Zoey quietly walked away

Unable to focus completely, Ellis didn’t immediately resume work but casually scrolled through her phone.

Out of habit, she checked her WhatsApp messages. When she opened the app, Morty’s chat was right at the top.

Morty’s message left her speechless. This guy was too weird! Just the other day, when she asked what he was up to, he wouldn’t say, leaving her feeling uneasy.

Soon, her focus returned, and she put down her phone and got back to work. Tomorrow was the weekend, and she needed to finish all of this week’s tasks by tonight, so she ended up working until nearly midnight. By the time she got home, it was the carly hours of the morning, and she slept until noon.
