“I wasn’t trying to bring it up on purpose. I just meant… The traffic ahead was clear, so Easton took a second to glance: sideways at Ellis, his eyes briefly landing on her irritated expression. T’m not some sketchy guy who can’t be trusted”

“Shut up!” she snapped, her patience already hanging by a thread.

So what, now she was the untrustworthy one?

Easton hummed in response, like he was agreeing to shut up. That only made her angrier.

Back then, she’d been so blind, convinced she couldn’t live without him. And now? Every dumb thing she’d done was ammó for him to throw back in her face whenever he felt like it. It was infuriating.

As they neared her office. Easton slowed down..

“How are you getting home later? Want me to come pick you up??

He knew there was a ninety–nine percent chance she’d say no, and sure enough-

“Pick me up my ass! I don’t need you. I’ll call a car like a normal person.”

She didn’t bother hiding her annoyance. The look on her face screamed that she was sick of him, and Easton gripped the steering wheel a little tighter.

“Constant anger and stress aren’t good for your health,” he said mildly, as if she hadn’t just insulted him.

“You think I want to be angry all the time?” Ellis leaned her head on her hand and stared out the window. “It’s because you never leave me alone! You won’t stop, and I don’t get it. What are you even doing this for It’s pointless”

Easton had always been selfish. The only person he ever really loved was himself.

Victoria had tried to kidnap her and ended up in prison, but Ellis still couldn’t believe Easton had chosen her in that so–called ultimatum. The way he handled it had chilled her to the bone.

Then again, she wasn’t surprised.

She’d been his wife for years, and he’d still managed to push her to the edge. If he could do that to someone he’d supposedly loved, why would he hold back with anyone else?

He only

“Ellis

y ever did what felt good in the moment,

Hearing him call her by her full name startled her enough to turn back toward him.

“What?”

She was used to it now. At least when he called her Ellis, he wasn’t pretending they were still something they weren’t. That whole honey” and “baby” routine he’d tried after the divorce had just made her want to punch him in the face.

“Yeah, I’ve been chasing you like crazy,” Easton said, like he’d been thinking this over for a while. “But have you ever considered you might be a little hypocritical?”

“Everyone’s a hypocrite,” she shot back before he could finish. “I know what you’re trying to say. I used to chase after you, so now you think it’s fair game. But just because I used to be blind doesn’t mean your behavior now suddenly makes sense. It still doesn’t mean anything”

“Some things don’t need to make sense to both people, Easton said quietly. “They’re still worth doing.

Ellis didn’t answer. She was too annoyed to keep arguing

Finished

Trying to express his feelings the right way was like walking a tightrope. One wrong word, and she’d shut down completely

He kept quiet the rest of the ride.

When they pulled up in front of the Bohua Group building. Easton looked it over.

“Do you like working here?”

Ellis had been about to get out, but the question made her pause. Since he had given her a ride, she figured she could throw

him a bone

“Why do you care if I like it! As long as my boss pays me well. I’m good.”

“Two million a year. Is that really enough for you?”

Ellis froze. She’d only just gotten that raise last Friday
