Chapter 380 - A Dog Catching a Rat
Chapter 380 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" opens revealing the plot: "No! No! Didnāt you leave? Why are you still using this phone number? This isnāt... Discover what happens!
"No! No! Didnāt you leave? Why are you still using this phone number? This isnāt right!" Mayaās tears abruptly stopped as she suddenly realized something was wrong: why was Ella still using this phone number?"Uh... I didnāt manage to leave, Iām still in S City." Maya explained hesitantly, feeling a bit awkward.
"Why? Thatās impossible! When I received the principalās call that day, you were already on the plane. Why didnāt you manage to leave?" Ella was shocked.
"Ella, letās talk when we meet, itās too complicated to explain over the phone."
"Mm-hmm!" So, the two girls agreed to meet at noon to discuss the torment each had been through recently.
In a certain coffee shop in the department store, Maya arrived early and waited for Ella at a window seat.
She thought, during this time Ella must have been terrified, which led her to quit her job and hide at home, not daring to see anyone. Clearly, Liam caused not only Mayaās phobia but also Ellaās.
In the coffee shop, she supported her chin with her left hand on the table, watching the customers coming and going outside the window, her mind pondering how to explain her relationship with Liam to Ella.
Now that she and Liam had reconciled, Ella would surely feel awkward.
She raised her right hand, glanced at her watch; it was already 12 oāclock. After meeting, they would change venues to a restaurant for lunch.
But after waiting for 50 minutes, why hadnāt Ella arrived? Maya worried that something had happened to her and called her again.
On the other end, Ella cheerfully, hastily said, "I havenāt been out for a while, just did a bit of grooming, Iām already in the elevator, will be there soon, will be there soon!"
As she hung up the phone, the elevator happened to stop at the intended floor. She scratched her short hair, took big strides, and hurriedly walked towards the coffee shop.
"Oh my..." In her haste, she didnāt look carefully at the road ahead and clumsily bumped into a strong chest, hurting her nose.
Therefore, she held her nose, raised her head, glared angrily at the person, and reproached, "Are you blind when walking? It hurt when you bumped into me."
Just as she finished speaking, she regretted it immediately, quickly bowed her head, pretended nothing happened, and moved two steps to the right, bypassed the man she bumped into, and quickly left the scene.
However, she had barely taken two steps when the man grabbed her collar and forcibly pulled her back.
Seeing her still holding her nose, the man took a deep breath, threw her aside, raised his right hand, took away the hand she was covering her nose with, and angrily said, "Ella, donāt think just because youāve cut your hair short, I wonāt recognize you."
The manās tone was unpleasant, as if he had deep-seated hatred towards her.
Ella looked at the manās angry expression, immediately raised her lips and greeted him with a fake smile, "Assistant Reed, long time no see!"
"Ha-ha! Long time no see? Indeed, a long time! How dare you show up in S City? Shouldnāt you have disappeared with Lillian?" Elijah fumed over her helping Lillian to abduct Maya, his anger boiling.
Today, having caught her, he was determined to teach her a lesson to prevent future similar offenses.
"Disappear? What did you do to President Morris? You couldnāt have silenced her, right!" Hearing the word ādisappear,ā Ella quickly took a few steps back, trying to seize the chance to flee.
Elijah, seeing her little moves, swiftly grabbed her wrist and pulled her in the opposite direction, saying, "Daring to abduct the bossās wife, you must give a reasonable explanation to the BOSS."
Though Elijah wasnāt Liam, remembering Ella pushing Maya into Lillianās arms made him not any less angry, even more furious than Liam.
Ella, panicked after being grabbed, quickly squatted on the ground, rummaged through her bag with her left hand, looking for a phone to call Maya for help.
Seeing her actions, Elijah immediately snatched her phone, angrily saying, "Even if you call the bossās wife, itās of no use, you must see the BOSS."
"I wonāt go! I wonāt go! Let go of me!" Ella squatted on the ground, struggling while shouting not to see Liam.
Liam, that big pervert, since he could abuse Maya so severely, would definitely not let her off easily, so she absolutely couldnāt go.
"Now youāre scared, why didnāt you consider the consequences when abducting the bossās wife?" Elijah heard her cries, showing no sympathy, still pulling her to meet Liam.
At this moment, Ella also panicked. She fiercely pinched Elijahās arm, reasoning, "Maya and President Morris are in love, you forced and threatened her, Iām only fulfilling my humanitarian and friendship duties by saving her from distress, why should I disappear?"
Ella thought she was about to be silenced too.
Her defense made Elijah displeased; he abruptly hauled Ella up from the ground, lowered his head to stare into her eyes, and solemnly asked, "Do you have a problem with your vision? When did Miss Maya fall in love with President Morris? Canāt you see sheās happy with the BOSS?"
"I canāt see!" Ella said pitifully, biting her lip and shaking her head.
Elijah, hearing her retort, took a deep breath, angrily pulling her, and said, "Too lazy to explain to you, come with me to meet the BOSS."
"Wonāt go! Wonāt go! Elijah, let go of me. Are you Liamās lapdog? You meddle in his love life too? What does it have to do with you? Seriously, a dog meddling in othersā business." Seeing that reasoning with him was useless, Ella resorted to provocation, hoping heād spare her.
"What did you just call me?" Elijah was very averse to being called a dog; last time he got into a fight with Henry for calling him a ādog.ā
Moreover, he and Liamās feelings were beyond their understanding, so he hated othersā careless comments, especially using the word ādog.ā
Ella observed Elijahās furrowed brows, struggled twice, and stuttered, "I... I mean... exactly, youāre just an assistant, why meddle in the bossās love life? Isnāt it a dogās business?"
At this time, a crowd of passersby gathered around them, watching the scene.
"Then Iām definitely meddling in this business." Elijah gritted his teeth in anger.
"Help! Help! I donāt know him, someone please save me." Seeing Elijah had no plans to let her go, Ella pleaded to the surrounding pedestrians.
However, nobody paid her any mind, only pointing and commenting.
"Elijah, let go of me, thereās no need for you to meddle as a dog, let go of me, youāre Liamās lapdog, even if I abducted Maya, thatās someone elseās wife, not yours." Being dragged made Ella frustrated, so she lashed out without restraint.
But as Ella shouted this, everyone started pointing at her, thinking she had done something wrong.
Hearing her continually insult with ādog,ā Elijahās mind went blank with rage; he immediately flung her in front of him and angrily warned, "Try insulting me again?"
