There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Chapter 939

Chapter 939

From Ezra's facial expression, Maisie knew the flowers weren't sent by Ezra, but a name suddenly popped out in her mind —Steven.

Her head was spinning. What was wrong with them?

After knowing that the flowers weren't given by Ezra, the young lady fled to the secretariat at once, then there left only Maisie and Ezra outsides.

Ezra opened the greeting card. The signature turned out to be "Steven". Inside, it also contained words like "May the flowers bring you a good day."

He flicked a frosty glance at Maisie beside him, but she said tonelessly, "I don't know at all that he will give me flowers."

And Maisie simply told Ezra that she would have lunch with Steven since they mentioned him. Ezra looked as black as thunder.

As Ezra was about to say something, Maisie stopped him, "Let's talk about it in my office."

After all, it was not proper for them to talk about such a private topic in such a public area.

Ezra clenched his teeth, following Maisie into her office.

After putting away her handbag and overcoat, she began to explain, "David was supposed to have lunch with him, but you know that he has now left Riverside City. Thus, he could only request me to answer Steven's questions."

Maisie exactly knew that Ezra would be annoyed if he learned that she was going to have lunch only with Steven, so she chose to explain in advance.

"You can go with me if you think it improper," Maisie invited Ezra initially.

"Whew, quite good," Ezra smiled casually.

Maisie was bristle but speechless at his sarcasm.

She glared at him and said, "Ezra, no matter what our future will be, to outsiders, we are still husband and wife now. I'm not that sort of woman with no boundaries, and I won't let anyone find fault with our marriage because of other men."

After saying that, she added, "I have intended to tell you about the lunch. You don't have to be so mean."

Her words immediately made Ezra in good humor again.

He approached her with a smile and asked, "Why didn't you tell me in the car?"

"You were driving at that moment. I certainly could not tell you, could I?" said Maisie. In the morning, there were so many cars on the road. She did know Ezra would be annoyed at this. What if something happened to them if she told him?

Ezra treated it as her concern and had a bigger smile, "I will pick you up at noon. Let's go together."

Maisie turned on her computer and sat down. "Then you should leave now," she replied to him.

Ezra was in a good mood that he turned and planned to talk about business with Julian.

As for the bunch of flowers, Maisie sent a thank-you message to Steven after Ezra left, but at the same time, she told Steven not to give her flowers anymore.

Julian had just come into his office. While he passed by Maisie's office, he saw Ezra in there and showed a look of disgust forthwith.

At that moment, Ezra entered his office. Julian asked him at once, "Some time ago, you just came here every spare second. Come clean with it, was it because of Maisie?"

Julian never pondered the clue that Ezra might go steady with Maisie. However, as he saw they were in Maisie's office, he just felt that the scene was so familiar to him.

All of a sudden, he remembered that Ezra had visited him frequently in the Hughes Group at one time which almost drove him nuts.

At that period, he wondered if Ezra had taken leave of his sense. But now, it turned out that Ezra had fallen in love with Maisie, using their meeting as an excuse to approach her.

Another time, it was more outrageous. On that forenoon, Julian wasn't in the company due to an outside activity. Unexpectedly, he met Ezra, who was about to leave the loft, as he returned.

"What's up?" he stopped Ezra and asked.

"I came to you for some matters but failed to find you," Ezra replied.

"Come on. Let's talk in my office," he said.

"It's alright now." Ezra bolted away without looking back, leaving him feeling puzzled.

Now, he totally figured it out that Ezra hadn't come here for him but for Maisie. The only truth was that Ezra got caught and then found an excuse to escape.

"Yes," Ezra confessed calmly, sitting on the coach.

Julian threw a contemptuous look at him, and Ezra cheekily said, "Well, I can't help it. I found that I had a crush on her. Every day, I just felt uneasy if I couldn't see her."

"And you didn't allow me to approach her on the table, so I could only meet her secretly."

"What's more, she just brushed me aside at the very start and never hung out with me. I had no choice but to meet her here."

Julian jeered at him, "I have never seen a man as cheeky as you."

Thinking that Ezra had "cajoled" Maisie into being his girlfriend without his knowledge, Julian then trash-talked him, "Look at your situation. You deserve it."

Before Ezra was about to protest, there was a knock on the door. Basically speaking, merely David and Maisie were allowed to enter Julian's office. Since David was absent today, it must be Maisie.

Instantly, Ezra stopped debating with Julian, even standing up to open the door for Maisie.

Ignoring Ezra's flattery, Julian just said "Come in" and then sat down.

Outside the door, Maisie got several documents at hand that needed signing by Julian.

However, it startled her that Maisie ran into Ezra as soon as she came in.

"What are you doing?" Maisie whispered, darting a glance at Ezra. She knew that Ezra was in the office but never expected that he would open the door for her. And in front of Julian, Ezra's affection for her made her feel embarrassed.

Hence, she paid no attention to Ezra and walked directly toward Julian with the documents, "Mr. Hughes, these documents need your signature."

Being ignored, Ezra could only sit on the couch again with a sorrowful look, but he kept watching Maisie all along.

After Julian signed the documents, Maisie reported on work stuff to him. She was so engaged in work that forgot Ezra on the couch totally. After finishing reporting,

she just went out.

Ezra became speechless.

Was he just so invisible?

While he was still immersed in sorrow, Julian before the desk proclaimed his decision, "You are banned from the Hughes Group."

Ezra felt a sense of grievance, "Why?"

Julian snorted, "You kept watching my assistant. It seriously affected her work mood, also her work efficiency."

His words made Ezra sneer.

And Julian shot a contemptuous look at him and said, "What? Not convinced?"

"I should have taken your picture and shown you how ridiculous you were."

Julian became an eye-opener. In just a few minutes, Ezra only had eyes for Maisie. The man sitting on the couch lazily seemed to be casual, but actually couldn't help to smile because of Maisie.

Ezra laughed, "Did you reckon that you are better than me? You only care about your wife and children."

From Ezra's perspective, Julian was worse. How did he have the audacity to teach him?

Julian didn't want to continue this topic with him and asked instead, "Okay, let's get back on track. What do you want from me?"

Then they began to talk about the business and spent actually half the morning on the perpetual cooperation between the Canuli and the Hughes Group.

Before Ezra left, he paid a visit to Maisie's office. Originally, he planned to have a small talk with her, but Maisie was making a phone call for work which seemingly wouldn't end in a short while. Thus, he had to leave first.

Ezra could merely comfort himself that they would meet at lunch anyhow.

At noon, no sooner had it been time to get off work than Ezra messaged Maisie that he was already outside the Hughes Group. Then Maisie tidied up herself for a while and hurried downstairs. After that, she, with Ezra, left for the Chinese restaurant where David had arranged to meet Steven.

Steven saw Ezra as soon as he entered the private room, with a look of speechlessness.

Maisie stood up and explained to Steven, "Mr. Cantillo knows more about business and finance than me and David. I'm afraid that I cannot answer your questions properly, so I come with him."

Ezra snorted behind her, "Mr. Cantillo?"

She'd better call him "Mr. Cantillo" all the time!

Maisie pretended to ignore his protest and asked Steven to have a seat in a polite manner.

As Maisie went out to answer the phone, Steven sneered at Ezra, "Mr. Cantillo, are you so unconfident that you need to follow Maisie when she just has lunch with me?"

Ezra shook his head elegantly, "You're wrong. It was she who invited me on her own."

Steven questioned his words, but Ezra added, "Do you why she did it?"

"Because she told me that she is Mrs. Cantillo now and she would not be involved with the other man."

These words made Steven stunned. But then he thought it was indeed Maisie's style.

She had very positive values. Now that she was still Mrs. Cantillo, she would not let anyone find fault with the relationship between her and Ezra.
