Chapter 403 Stay or Go

“Got it. Easton grabbed his things and left.

Finished

Once she saw the elevator doors shut behind him, Maya finally took her time unlocking the door and stepping inside.

The apartment was quiet–no signs of her roommate anywhere–so Maya headed straight to her room:

She found Ellis lying on the bed, visibly annoyed.

From the doorway, Maya announced. “Your ex–husband just tried to get me to deliver something to you. I said no.”

“Good. Next time, just ignore him like he doesn’t exist.” Ellis had already guessed Maya ran into Easton the second she walked in, so that news didn’t surprise her.

“I’m heading back out after I change. Maya added. “I wasn’t planning to come home tonight”

Where you off to Spending the night with Cameron again?” Ellis asked, no judgment in her tone–just mildly curious.

“Bingo Maya didn’t even try to hide it.

Use protection Ellis had nothing more to add.

Whatever arrangement Maya and Cameron had going on, it was clearly mutual. Adults had needs, and as long as Maya was safe. Ellis saw no issue.

Maya gave a sly smile and slipped out, leaving Ellis alone once again.

Finally undisturbed, Ellis tried to settle back into sleep. But the more she tried, the less her body cooperated. She scrolled through her phone out of boredom. eventually rolling onto her side.

Big mistake

The second she shifted, a sharp, familiar ache hit just above her chest. Her brows furrowed.

Ther pain again?

Was her period about to start?

She mentally counted the days since her last cycle–yep, it was about that time.

She also remembered the weird dream she’d had while traveling for work and that fleeting thought earlier about needing physical intimacy.

Crap

Her hormones were out of whack

Life had been stabile lately–no stress, no drama. She hadn’t been with anyone in a while, so maybe her body was just reminding her of its basic needs.

She turned back onto her back and forced herself to think about literally anything else.

just hormones I’m not that desperate

Right

Unless she’d officially lost her mind.

Meanwhile, upstairs…

After firmly telling Easton she’d never get back together with him, Ellis enjoyed a blissful few days.

No more harassment. No more run–ins. It was like he’d vanished. Heaven.

She even had time to quietly line up a new job. Before Maxwell could beat her to it and let her go, she planned to quit on her

own terms.

Resignation letter printed and ready, Ellis headed to Maxwell’s office

He was reviewing documents and didn’t look up when she entered.

She placed the envelope next to him with a polite smile. “Mr. Fox, here’s my resignation letter. Please take a look.”

Maxwell’s head slowly rose, his expression a mixture of surprise and confusion.

“Resignation:

Ellis nodded. “Yes”

He closed the document he’d been reading, opened the envelope, and glanced at the letter. “You’re leaving?”

“I am,” she said, then added the obligatory pleasantries. “Thank you, Mr. Fox, for your guidance these past few months. It’s been an honor to work under you”

Maxwell was used to this kind of speech. He barely glanced at the letter again. No one ever wrote the real reason they were quitting anyway

He looked straight at her. “Mind telling me why?”

That caught Ellis off guard.

Wasn’t he the one who wasn’t satisfied with her? Now he was asking why she wanted to leave?

Was this just a formality

After a few seconds of thought, she answered, “I just don’t think this is the right fit for me.”

The universal excuse. Polite, vague, and safe.

Maxwell wasn’t convinced. “What exactly doesn’t fit?”

She hadn’t expected a follow–up. From what she could see, he had no real issue with her performance–and she wasn’t struggling

Why not?

She heutated, then remembered Easton’s file..

“Well the company’s focus is pretty different from my last one. I think I prefer my original field.”

But your responsibilities here are similar,” Maxwell pointed out. “And your growth track. Not to mention your compensation is better”

He handed the letter back to her “Tim not accepting this. Think about it soune more.

Ellis took the envelope, confused.

Back at her desk, she ran into Cleveland and flagged him down.

“Ms. Harper?” he asked, confused. “Do you need me? Or are you warning me Maxwell’s in a bad mood?

Neither. I just wanted to ask you something.”
