Chapter 18: Scold Our Exes
As the president of the Hill group, Aiden would naturally frown at the accusation of being a pervert directly.
But it was Ella who scolded him which made things different. Aiden responded slowly, "I don't think I've actually harassed you, have I?"
Ella looked at him. and had to confess that Aiden was incredibly fine-looking., But recalling the rumors that the company's president was also attractive, she couldn't help but think of the embarrassing scene, her appetite escaping away."
While for Aiden, noticing her emotion, he recalled what happened in the lounge. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Dark eyes flashing, he said with a hint of concession , "as for the last time in the lounge, I won't force you again."
Realizing what Aiden meant, Ella blushed like a tomato. The food suddenly seemed so nasty for her that she stood up and ran to the restroom immediately.
When Aiden heard Ella's vomiting in the restroom, he dropped the chopsticks doom irritatingly.
Ella noticed that Aiden had gone and only Miles stood in the office as she finished gargling and stepped out.She glanced at the food on the table, asking, "where's Assistant Hill?"Until now Aiden's name was still a blank to Ella, who could only remember that his family name was Hill. She thought that since Hill was also president's assistant, it would be no harm for her to call him as "Assistant Hill".
Expression changing slightly, Miles replied: "he's gone."
"Oh, then I'm going back, too." Ella picked up the bag and left."
Miles looked at her, noticing that the president had treated the girl differently. He decided to be more polite to her in the future, but just to the point.After Ella's leaving, Miles called on the intercom to get the cleaners tidying the office, especially the restroom.
Just now Aiden left in advance right because of the unbearable smell when Ella vomited.

After leaving the company, Ella went directly to the specialized station designed for taxi.
With her eight thousand yuan a month after tax, she was now able to afford some taxi-hailing occasionally.
Ella got to Alice's luxury apartment by taxi successfully.
She now lived with Alice now. The 180-square-meter duplex allowed the two girls a free and comfortable life.
After getting on the elevator, Ella scanned the month's sales records on her phone.
She had invested in an online shop which was run by her cousin Lily.
Lily became a junior this year with relatively fewer classes. She had also moved out to share a lease with her boyfriend, so she and her boyfriend managed this online store without much trouble. If they indeed failed to spare time for delivery, they would invited several classmates to do part-time for them and paid hourly wages.
Noticing that the income had seen a two-thousand increase from last month, Ella felt much better.
The total sum of her salary and income from the online store could reach twenty to thirty thousand yuan a month, which was relatively satisfactory for the common white collars in the first tier.
She could now save a lot of money every month in spite of the high living cost here.
In the first year since her marriage with Benjamin, she had seldom use her money but saved at least 200,000 yuan.
It was not divorce but poverty that was the most terrifying.
At the thought of the squandered five million yuan, Ella still felt no regret. After all it was much better than being sent to the third wheel, Scarlett Baker, by Benjamin.
At that moment, the elevator opened. As soon as she walked out, she heard someone quarreling.
Listening carefully, she found that it was Alice and her ex, David Collins.
Ella hesitated, not knowing whether to go in or not. The door was apparently ajar since the corridor echoed their arguing."Alice Walker! I warn you! You are not to tell Father about the divorce! Otherwise I won't let you get away easily!" David stepped out.
Alice, who was still in the house, threw out a glass vase and shouted, "Go away! Don't let me see you again!"
Fortunately, David dodged so quickly that the vase was smashed on the ground without hurting him. He cursed, "Mad woman!"
Ella turned away hurriedly when David was approaching, but was still noticed by him.
"Ella, is that you? David neatened his hair haphazardly, his red eyes smoothing a little.
Ella slowly turned around with an awkward expression, remaining in silence.
He walked up to her. David was 5.5-feet tall, a big deal taller than Ella. He apologized, "I apologize to you for the last time at the hotel, I had drunk too much.."
"Don't mention the last time! It's all over. Just leave here." Faced with the ex-husband of her good friend, and once an admirer when in university, Ella indeed had the least willingness to see him.
Before David had the chance to reply, Alice ran out spare-feet and shouted, "Will you piss off or not? I'll call the police if you stay here any longer!"David glanced at Alice impatiently, then turned to Ella, "Let me invite you to dinner next time, and I'll apologize to you formally."Ella ignored him and walked to Alice.After David's leaving finally, Ella noticed some blood seeping out of Alice's spare feet, exclaiming, "Alice! You've hurt!"Until now did Alice find that she had stepped on a piece of broken glass. She had been so concentrated on arguing with David that she was even unaware of the pain."Ouch! It's damn hurt! David Collins what a dick!" Alice stood on a single foot, the pain bending her waist. Ella immediately supported her into the house.
After entering the house, Ella made Alice sit on the sofa, then got the emergency medicine box instantly from the locker.
Alice had managed to place her hurt foot on the tea table so Ella could examine her carefully. Fortunately, the wound was slight, but Ella still wanted to take Alice to the hospital.Alice waved her hands, "Don't bother. It's already nighttime. No worries. I have experienced much more than this before but haven't been to the hospital either. Just pick out the fragments with tweezers for me and I'll do the rest."
"Don't move! Just sit here!"Ella didn't hesitate any more but got the fragments quickly. Alice gasped for the pain.
"Hold on, I'll take some alcohol to disinfect your wounds."
Alice frowned, "Come on! I can hold back!"
After ten minutes, Ella got done the disinfection and bandaging.
Ella took out some anti-inflammatory tablets, "I'll get some water for you. Take the medicine lest that the wound get inflamed."
"Okay."
After getting the water, Ella went outside immediately to clean the glass with a broom.She carefully packed the fragments so that the cleaners wouldn't get hurt.
Alice reclined on the sofa, watching Ella busying around. She held back pain and laughed, "How damn blind Benjamin is! Why! He leaves you alone but to play with other women… How silly!"Ella gave her a glance and sat on the sofa as well after tidying up. She signed, "Haven't you heard of it? Wife is worse than concubine, concubine is worse than moll, and moll is worse than never. It's the thing one can't reach that is always the best. Men are damn dicks!"
