Chapter 50


    Chapter 50


    The next day at 3 pm., Ellinor rolled up to the agreed–upon café.


    It was a humble yet ssy joint, eerily quiet on the inside.


    Just a couple seemingly on a date and a bespectacled guy bustling away were the only other patrons


    in sight.


    Ellinor picked a random spot, ordered herself a cup of coffee and a dessert, and started people


    watching as she enjoyed her treats


    The pair appeared to be having a date, asking each other about their preferences, nothing suspicious


    about them.


    The bespectacled guy was also constantly hammering away at hisptop,pletely engrossed in his


    work.


    She wondered, who could have sent her the text? Or, had the person not arrived yet?


    “Ellinor!”


    At the sound of a familiar voice, Ellinor looked up, “Mr. Morgan?”


    It was her boss from her internship, Morgan.


    Morgan seemed to have packed on a few extra pounds, he had a wide grin on his face, ‘Ellinor, it’s


    been ages.”

    Even though Ellinor hadn’t quit that long ago.


    Could Morgan be the one who texted her?


    Ellinor decided to test the waters, “Morgan, what brings you here?”


    Morgan plonked himself down, all gleeful, ‘Ellinor, it was me who wanted to see you”


    Ellinor took a sip from her coffee, “So it was you who texted me yesterday?”


    Morgan gave her a nod, “Yep, it was me! I know all about what happened between you and Mr.


    nchet.”


    Ellinor arched an eyebrow, “So what?”


    Morgan grinned, “Ellinor, I need to tell you, because Mr. nchet didn’t agree to cooperate with our


    company on the new projectst time, I got axed. I believe you had a


    hand in this too!”


    Ellinor remained nonchnt, “My fault? Morgan, you’ve got it all twisted. As far as I know, it was your


    cousin Debby who messed up by gaming on the job and got our system hacked, I was just the


    scapegoat. I haven’t even settled scores with you guys, and here you are ming me?”


    Morgan was taken aback. He didn’t expect Ellinor to know about what happened after he got fired in


    such detail. He coughed awkwardly, “It’s all water under the bridge, who’s to me doesn’t really


    matter now! Ellinor, do you know how hard it was for me to climb up from a nobody to a manager’s


    position? At my age, it’s hard tond another good job, and I have a family to feed…”


    Ellinor cut him off, not wanting to hear any more of his sob story, “Morgan, spit it out if you’ve got


    something to say!”


    Morgan, seeing she was all business, got straight to the point, “I saw you in Mr. nchet’s car the other


    day, and just yesterday I saw you dining with him. I know you’re tight with Mr. nchet! So, I was


    hoping you could do me a favor.”


    Ellinor was a tad curious, “What can I do for you?”


    Morgan gave her a sly smile, “Ellinor, considering your special rtionship with Mr. nchet, it should


    be easy for you to persuade him, right? As long as you can get Mr. nchet to agree to work with


    Nexus Industries again, they’ll let me have my old job back!”


    Ellinor got his drift, “And if I refuse?”


    Morgan was full of confidence, his eyes narrowing into slits, “I’ve done my homework, Mr. nchet got


    hitched not long ago. Ellinor, what do you think would happen if Mr. nchet’s legit wife finds out about


    his side chick?”


    His legit wife?
