Chapter 357 A Familiar Name, An Unexpected Interview

Maya tilted her head. “Wait, does that make me a thorn in his side now? I’m always standing between you two, stopping him: from bothering you about getting back together.”

“Don’t overthink it. He might not even care that much about getting back together, Ellis said. She still couldn’t figure out what exactly triggered Easton’s sudden regret over the divorce–or his renewed interest in her.

She remembered hearing from the police that Easton had helped in getting Victoria arrested.

Whether it was his wife or his first love, he never seemed to hold back.

It was like he did whatever he wanted–treated people better or worse–based entirely on his mood.

That piece of crap really only ever loved himself.

With Maya around, Ellis had been able to keep Easton at arm’s length. And now that she seemed relaxed and in a good mood, Maya didn’t want to make her worry about things that might not even happen.

They were out for a reason–to grab groceries.

So they dropped the topic of Easton and focused on shopping, carefully picking through items at the supermarket. Afterward, they stopped by a restaurant to grab a quick bite.

Midway through the meal, Maya asked, “Your birthday’s coming up. What kind of gift do you want?”

“I don’t have anything specific in mind. Just get whatever.” Ellis didn’t really care what Maya gave her. Even just having dinner together was enough. A gift wasn’t necessary.

After two weeks of job hunting, Ellis had five offers on the table.

Now she had a new problem–picking one. She couldn’t decide.”

Then another interview invitation came in. She figured, why not give it one more shot before making her final decision?

But as she neared the building, the car in front of her suddenly slammed on the brakes. She almost rear–ended it.

She thought it was just a quick scare, but after she parked a little farther down, she noticed the man who got out of that car looked really familiar.

Mr. Marwell?

Her brain ran through memories at lightning speed, landing on the time she saw him at a hotel in Kyrador.

What was he doing in Stonebridge?

What were the odds–three cities in a row, and somehow they kept crossing paths.

She watched him walk into a nearby office building. The security guards standing at the entrance gave him a formal nod of

But her interview was about to start, and she couldn’t be late. She checked her phone, matched the address with the buildings around her, and found the one she was headed to.

She walked in too and told the front desk she was there for an interview.

While she was writing, she overheard two voices whispering nearby.

“He’s been gone forever on this business trip. Finally back today!”
