Chapter 35 Madam No More

“Huh?” Ellis didn’t get it and didn’t feel like thinking about it either.

Lois might end up being her boss. Working as a secretary for such a powerful woman sounded good, but why did every little thought somehow lead back to Easton?

He had invaded every corner of her world.

That needed to change.

From now on, she was going to wipe him out of her life completely.

Maya was helping her go through company research when she suddenly noticed Ellis grabbing a tissue, scrunching it up viciously, then tossing it into the trash like it had personally offended her.

Maya blinked. “What the hell was that?”

Ellis glared at the crumpled tissue in the trash, her teeth slightly clenched. “I thought of something so disgusting I couldn’t help myself.

At this point, Easton was filthier than non–recyclable trash to her.

That rotten cucumber had been sleeping with Victoria while touching her too.

Ever since returning from the estate, she had been showering twice a day–morning and night–desperately trying to scrub away every trace of him.

She could erase the scent and the marks on her skin.

But the psychological disgust? That wasn’t going anywhere.

Just thinking about that thing of his made her want to chop it off.

Maya looked confused, “What kind of trash are we talking about?”

Ellis ground her teeth. “Easton.”

Maya gave her a deadpan look. “We’re supposed to be talking about your job, and you’re over there thinking about that dog of a man? Are you bored or something?

“It’s not what you think.”

Ellis wasn’t about to tell Maya that she had been drugged by her own adoptive mother and forced into Easton’s bed just a few days ago.

She was still angry and disappointed about it, but saying it out loud felt like painting herself as a victim. She didn’t want pity. She wasn’t that fragile–she could handle it herself.

She had already started cutting ties with Easton. Now, she was doing the same with her adoptive mother.

She would still repay her for raising her, but beyond that, there was nothing left between them.

Maya didn’t press the issue. Instead, she focused on coaching Ellis for her interview–covering likely questions, helping her refine her answers, even taking her shopping for a few proper business outfits.

The next afternoon, Ellis arrived at Tate Group ten minutes early.

Unlike the first round, this time her interviewers were from the executive office. She wasn’t sure of their exact positions, but she handled every question smoothly.

Then, one of them said, “The final round will be conducted by Madam Lois herself. Please follow me to another conference

Before coming here, she hadn’t even considered the issue of her identity. She had just wanted to secure the job.

Her thoughts were a mess as Lois approached

Now, hearing it from someone else’s mouth, it carried the same humiliation that Easton had thrown at her.

Forcing herself to stay composed, she corrected, “Madam Lois, just call me Ellis.”
