Ellis chose not to give a definitive answer and continued evasively, “Thank you for the offer, Mr. Maxwell. I’ll let you know as soon as I make up my mind.”

“Alright.” Maxwell nodded.

Assuming the conversation was over, she was about to send a text message to her ex–husband telling him to stop calling while she was away on business. fort was stressful enough; I didn’t need his harassment on top of it

But then Maxwell spoke again, “If you don’t like the company housing, I have a few properties of my own. You can pick one you like.”

“!!!” Ellis‘ lowered eyes snapped back to Maxwell.

What had he just said?

His properties? For me to live in?

Real estate wasn’t just about living space; it had many uses. But a house was private by nature. I’m just his assistant, with no other ties to him. What would it mean for me to live in his house?

Ellis shook her head, dismissing the absurd thought.
