I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 435

Chapter 435 She Loved Money

Ellis definitely loved money.

Easton had taught her a painful lesson. She could accept money from anyone, except him.

So no matter how much he tried to tempt her with lavish offers, her heart remained unmoved.

The moment the elevator doors slid open/she left Easton behind without a glance and drove straight to work.

As soon as she stepped into the office, Ellis seemed to come alive.

Her demeanor at work was nothing like at home. After all, generous compensation came with high expectations. Her boss believed that a substantial salary demanded exceptional results. There was no space for idleness–only discipline, precision, and unwavering focus.

“Ms. Harper.”

The sudden sound of her name made her pause. She stopped typing, stood up to meet her boss’s eyes, and offered a composed smile. “Mr. Maxwell”

“There’s a business banquet tonight. You’ll be accompanying me,” Maxwell said, giving her outfit a quick once–over. “Don’t wear business attire. Buy a proper gown–on the company’s dime

Every boss had their own way of doing things. Some wanted their assistants to appear competent and composed. Others preferred a more decorative presence–like a trophy, someone who simply looked good beside them.

She didn’t know which kind Maxwell was, but his request was reasonable. Ellis nodded. “Understood.”

“One more thing

Maxwell paused. Ellis tilted her head slightly, waiting

A moment later, he added, “You’ll need jewelry to go with the dress. Choose something appropriate, keep the total under 14.000 dollars. The company will reimburse it.”

Ellis‘ eyes lit up. “Under 14,000?” she asked, seeking confirmation.

She had known Maxwell was generous, but she hadn’t expected this level of extravagance for a single evening event. It far exceeded her expectations.

Catching her excitement, Maxwell seemed to reconsider. “If it goes a little over, that’s fine.”,

With that reassurance, Ellis smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Maxwell,”

In her mind, she was already planning her next steps–wear the gown and jewelry once, file for reimbursement, and then resell the items to give her savings a comfortable boost.

Easton’s money was off–limits. But for the income she earned through honest work, she accepted it without hesitation.

This was legitimate, And unlike Easton, her boss wasn’t going to ask for it back.

With that, Maxwell walked away.

Once he was gone, Ellis opened WhatsApp and messaged the brand rep who used to serve her exclusively.

I turned out the dress had the same 14,000 dollar limit. Maxwell even asked if she wanted professional hair and makeup. If she did, those costs would be reimbursed as well.

What kind of dream boss is this?

Ellis couldn’t help but laugh. “Mr. Maxwell, you’re incredible!”

Before he could respond, she turned and left with a spring in her step. Maxwell watched her go, eyes lingering longer than they should have,

Is Ellis really that easy to please! Just 28,000 dollars, and she looks completely over the moon.

Still, when she smiled like that, with such uninhibited joy, there was something irresistibly charming about her. It made him want to give her his full attention, and never take it away.

Now that she had permission, Ellis spent freely, guilt–free.

Of course, this was a formal business event, so she chose elegance over extravagance. She skipped the professional glam team

-no need to overdo it and risk looking like she wasn’t Maxwell’s assistant, but instead…
