I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415 Not in the Mood for Men

“I didn’t even complain about him being bad luck,” Ellis muttered.

She knew full well she’d only walked away from the car incident unscathed because Easton had stepped in. But after everything he’d done, she wasn’t about to give him any credit.

“You’re not moving, and your ex sure isn’t either. You live right below him–it’s kind of inevitable you’ll catch some of his bad. energy. Maya said casually.

She was long past being surprised by the upstairs neighbor situation. She’d even developed the habit of disappearing on her own whenever she saw Ellis and Easton together. If things kept going the way they were, she figured eventually she’d just move back to her own place.

Then, a thought struck her. “You and your ex? You’re like Tom and Jerry. The whole cat–and–mouse thing.”

Ellis looked at her in disbelief. “So I’m the mouse!”

“Obviously. He’s chasing you around and you’re constantly trying to escape. If that’s not a mouse being hunted. I don’t know

what is.”

“It’s not that dramatic, Ellis replied, rolling her eyes. “It’s not like I’m hiding from him.”

She had tried to avoid Easton before, but it hadn’t exactly worked. She’d just ended up looking sketchy and twitchy. After a beat, she asked, “Is there any way to make him avoid me

“None.” Maya answered without hesitation.

“I swear, once I start dating someone, there’s no way he’ll keep coming around,” Ellis said, though she didn’t sound too convinced herself. She couldn’t even manage her ex, let alone start something new. The last thing she wanted was to drag someone else into this mess

“So go date someone,” Maya shrugged. She didn’t think dating was the solution to Ellis’s Easton problem, but hey, it was Ellis’s life. “Just make sure he’s not another lover. You’ll need someone strong enough to handle your ex

Ellis had already considered that. The bar was stupidly high.

“There’s no one,” she groaned. “Forget it. I give up.”

Too much trouble. Dating wasn’t worth the headache. Staying single was cas

Maya wasn’t surprised. “Three minutes of enthusiasm. That’s it.”

Ellis stared up at the ceiling as if she could see straight through it and into the apartment upstairs.

“I’ll admit, being alone at the hospital kind of sucked. I had this dumb moment where I thought it’d be nice to have someone there”

But then again, it didn’t have to be a boyfriend. Friends counted. Support didn’t have to come in a romantic package.

And honestly, dating right now would come with way too many complications.

“You’re such a mess,” Maya said, poking her lightly in the head.

Ellis grinned. “Aren’t we all? Humans are weird. Fin fine on my own. I don’t need a man. unless—”

She paused

“Unless what?”

“Unless hormones get involved,” Ellis said with a knowing look.

Maya scratched the back of her head, pretending she hadn’t heard that.

“I’m going to bed,” Ellis called over her shoulder as she disappeared into her room.

Maya watched her go, eyes thoughtful.

Finished

Aside from work. Ellis didn’t do much. Her social circle was small. Her days were basically home and office, rinse and repeat. Finding a guy who ticked all her boxes? It didn’t seem likely

The one night of black–out drunk chaos had wrecked her whole weekend. Now it was Monday, and Ellis wanted nothing more than to smash the alarm clock and stay in bed another day.

But Maxwell had just given her a raise. Calling in sick right after that would look terrible.
