Chapter 452 Feelings For Ellis

When she opened her eyes, the sky outside was completely dark. Night had fallen. She picked up her phone and saw it was already past eight in the evening.

She hadn’t touched her phone all day. It showed a bunch of new messages and missed calls. Out of habit, she scanned through them to see who had tried to contact her. Most of them were from Maya and Maxwell. Both of them had hinted at concern in their messages, which suddenly reminded Ellis that she hadn’t even taken a day off

She’d skipped work for an entire day! She quickly dialed Maxwell. “Mr. Maxwell, I’m so sorry, I-

Before she could finish, the number she was calling suddenly called her back, and Maxwell cut her off. “Ms. Harper, I owe you a sincere apology for last night. As your boss, I failed to protect you and allowed you to get hurt unnecessarily.”

Her boss apologizing with such sincerity made Ellis feel a little awkward, especially since she had never blamed Maxwell in the first place.

She gave a dry laugh and instead comforted him. “Mr. Maxwell, no one wants to run into awful people or situations. Last night wasn’t your fault.”

“You didn’t show up today, and I’ve been thinking about it all day. Is your body. Maxwell had been restless since morning. the events of the previous night playing over and over in his head. He shuddered to think what could’ve happened if he hadn’t realized in time that Ellis had gone missing

After a pause, he said, “After Easton picked you up, I had someone look into what happened.”

Ellis had made this call mostly to explain why she hadn’t shown up to work. She didn’t want to talk about anything that happened last night.

She’d ended up in bed with Easton while barely conscious, and now he had the audacity to say she’d seduced him? The sheer humiliation! –

“Mr. Maxwell, the reason I’m calling is to ask for some time off. She shifted her legs slightly, still feeling the ache, and frowned. “I won’t be in tomorrow or the day after. I need a couple of days to rest.

Are you

in a hospital? Maxwell’s tone grew alarmed. “Which one? I’ll come see you.”

“I’m not at a hospital, 1 just” She instinctively wanted to explain why she needed time off, but halfway through, she suddenly felt too embarrassed to continue.

What was she supposed to say? That Easton had completely worn her out? Mortifying.

And it wasn’t exactly the kind of thing she could casually share, even with someone close. She thought for a moment. “I just simply want a couple of days to rest.”

She was clearly avoiding the real reason, but Maxwell understood. Take your time. No rush to come back to work.” He paused for a few seconds. “If you still don’t feel rested in a few days, take more time. Consider it paid leave.”

With two bosses in a row who didn’t treat exploit her, Ellis couldn’t help but feel a little happy. After all, no one enjoyed being exploited.

Thank you. Mr. Maxwell,” she said with a smile.

“By the way. Just as she was about to hang up, his tone suddenly shifted. She looked puzzled. “I hope you don’t mind me asking something.” He sounded slightly hesitant, which surprised her.

if hat does he want to ask? Why does he sound so cautious? Maintaining a polite tone, Ellis said, “What is it you want to ask, Mr.

“You and Easton Maxwell couldn’t help recalling how Easton had shoved him away from the bedside and carried Ellis off. “Are you planning to get back together?”

“No” Ellis voice rose slightly. There was absolutely no chance of that happening! She asked back, “Why would you think that, Mr. Maxwell”

Besides, while his feelings for Ellis were still in the early stages, it was better to rein them in now before he got in too deep. Otherwise, if he fell hard and then saw her reconcile with Easton, it would be devastating.
