Chapter 9 Elly

John Elliott who was in his apron, went out of the kitchen and knocked on the left bedroom door.

"Elly, come out for breakfast."

Shoulder-length curly haired girl with slanted and round eyes wearing a turquoise dress appeared behind the door.

With a slightly anxious gaze, Elly held John Elliot's hand and pressed his hand to her face.

"This morning my face was jerking and stretching, it's uncomfortable. Mr. John, have you notice any extraordinary nuance on my face?"

Three years ago, Elly was in a severe traffic accident. Her abdomen and face were seriously injured. John Elliot had to take her abroad for treatment. Her lower abdomen still had an in incision about an arm's length She underwent much of major surgery, and now she is getting facial plastic surgery. 40% understood that for any women, the appearance is significant. They are always afraid of others seeing their blemishes.

He leaned down to kiss her lips lightly. "My sweetie, you are the prettiest."

Elly blushed in embarrassment. Although John Elliot was her fiancé, due to being lost memory after the accident three years ago, Elly did not remember anything about him and even the feeling of intimacy between the two lovers, she had to learn from the head.

At the time she woke up, the only person besides her that took care of was John Elliot. He told her they were engaged.

He led her hand and guided her to the dining room.

"Today I cooked salted egg porridge that Elly likes the most. Hope your job interview this morning gets good results."

"I feel insecure." Elly sadly pulled her chair down.

"A total of my nine job applications were rejected. I'm beggining to doubt my expertise."

"Two years of studying abroad, you gained many international certificates in a short span of time. You have to believe in yourself."

After a year of focusing on plastic surgery, John Elliot encouraged Elly to study for a degree so that it will be easier to apply for a job later on.

Comforted, Elly temporarily put the work problem aside and started to zealously enjoyed delicious porridge prepared by her fiancée.

"Elly. Don't forget what I told you." John Elliot's eyes were gentle and pampering, but his stubborn voice seemed to be forcing her.

"You can apply to any companies, except the Alex's group."

"Why? The Alex's Group is the second largest and most powerful in the city, for sure the compensation will be better than any other place."

"Elly, I have spare ability to lead you a prosperous life." His short but profound sentence warned her coldly.

Elly nodded her head. She will not let John Elliot know that her job application today, and the interview that will be held this morning is with the title 'Alex's Group'.

She was rejected many times. If even this corporation that was hated by John Elliot declined her, she would accept to stay home as a lazy worm and let John Elliot grow into old age.

Elly prevented John Elliot from driving and to take her away to her job interview.

"I just returned home, the memory of this city has disappeared. You ought to let me experience for myself to recall everything. Maybe someday, I will remember myself the way I was before, right?"

Her jokes stopped suddenly, he hugged her waist and pulled her to the hallway.

"In the past or present, only I am unfailingly unique in your heart. You can't throw me away even if you remember anything."

The two jokingly said goodbye to each other. Elly got on the bus and arrived at Alex's Group.

Standing in front of the tallest building in A city, Elly expressed her admiration for the bulky and grandeur structure.

"Hello! I have an interview appointment today. Can you please help me to which room I nee to be at?" Elly smiled at the handsome receptionist.

"Yes, please fill out the information here." The male receptionist said politely.

Elly bowed to fill in the information as requested. She faintly heard the chatter around.

"Mrs. Hargreaves came to inspect the company today."

"I wonder if our handsome CEO will come here to greet us like in the some scene of movie."

"You guys don't have work to do, do you? Do I need to switch you to the Cleaning Department? That'll give you a chance to operate limbs and diminish your mouth that you're using to gossip." The stern voice reprimanded.

Elly completed the information, politely brought it back to the male receptionist.

"Mrs. Hargreaves?"

Elly was taken aback as she recalled the chatter just now and she turned around.

Manager of the Reception Department realized her disrespect, then immediately showed herself a standard smile. She received the information paper, and glanced at the name "Elly". Enthusiastically, she guided her to floor to the room she needs to come.

Elly nodded in thanks. She felt a few eyes chased behind her. The manager's attitude when she saw her was very unusual. Even the only male receptionist stared at her from start to finish.

Elly embraced a glib smile. "Maybe, because I'm so pretty?"

Due to not paying attention to the road, Elly bumped into a person at the end of the corridor.

"Sorry, are you okay?" She apologized nervously.

The person she bumped into is a stylishly dressed girl with curly brown hair that looks very trendy. The girl did not answer, then arrogantly glared at Elly.

The beautiful girl said nothing but the middle-aged bald man standing beside her was troubled.

"Our company is the place you run and jumps like that, huh? Which department do you belong to? Are you blind? You have just touched our Miss Emily, apologize quickly!"

Elly was kind, so she apologized again then bent down to collect her job application. Some papers flew messily on the floor.

The last piece of paper fell close to the red high heels. Elly reached out to pick it up, but suddenly it was trampled on by the shoes of the woman.

"Madeline Russel! Wow you sham as reality."

Elly felt that that girl didn't said it to her, then she thought she should ignore those words and politely asked.

"Sorry, you stepped on my paper. Can you take your foot off?"

As soon as she finished speaking, that girl deliberately pressed the pointed heel of her shoe against the floor, that left a big hole in the paper. Elly was angry, she stood upright.

"What are you doing? I accidentally bumped into you and already apologized. Do you need to make it difficult?"

"Make it difficult?" That girl's red lipstick screeches.

"Fifty million cannot satisfy you right, Madeline Russel? How much money do you still want to withdraw to let go of him? "

Elly blinked, pointed her finger to her chest and asked again.

"Are you talking to me? My name is Elly, not some Madeline Russel. You got the wrong person."

Emily Russel was angry at her innocent face. She grabbed the collar of Elly's shirt by her hand and raised her voice.

"Madeline Russel! Even if you turned to ash, I will always realize who you are. Don't think that the plastic surgery trick can afford to fool through my eyes. You want to be beautiful to return to seduce Alex, right?"

Elly didn't understoodthe girl's words, but the name Alex made specific nerves in her head jerk. Pain from her temples began to spread quickly all over her head. Elly hugged her head and slumped.

"My head hurts... it hurts..."

Emily Russel strongly kicked Elly's body and scolded her.

"End of change of identity, playing tricks again, you're disgusting."

Elly was kicked so suddenly that made her head hit the floor lightly. Getting a bit dizzy, Elly stood up unconsciously.

"Emily Russel! Please stop vilifying innocent person."

"You bastard! Can you stop pretending?" Emily Russel slapped Elly's face. She wanted to grab Elly's hair, whereas the middle-aged bald man was still gaping at Elly's face, then he stopped Emily Russel.

"Ms. Emily, you can't hit or can't beat nayone here. That is the company's protocol. It wouldn't be good if it were spread to Mr. Alex's ear."

Elly, thanks to the painful slap, her mind became clear. As she noticed herself being beaten groundlessly, although she's meek, she still knew how to protect herself.

"Why did you hit me? I already apologized when I bumped into you. I never chipped any piece of your dress or shoes, why hit people without reason? "

"Madeline Russel. I have to beat two-faced people like you... Chief Toni, let go of me... "

When she heard the girl called her wrong name, Elly clarified.

"You got the wrong person..."

"Sorry, what's going on here? Lady, how can we help you?" The Receptionist Department Manager and a few more people arrived at the right time. When they witnessed and saw some fights, they immediately approached to dissuade the two.

"Security guard, kick this woman out of the company." Emily Russel saw the newly appeared group of people, then gave a command like a boss.

"This girl is the one from the company that is scheduled to interview, there must be a misunderstanding."

Management of the Reception Department tried to reconcile, but Emily Russel was like crazy. She forced the security guard to get Elly way out of here.

The Manager approached her, and politely said.

"Ms. Elly, I'm from the Human Resources Department. It was just announced that the interview is moved to another date. The company will contact you again when it is arranged."

Elly looked down at her shirt which was crumpled by the wreckage of the crazy girl. Entering the interview now will make a wrong impression. She nodded a thanks to the Management of the Reception Department and decided to go home and wait for the news.

As she passed across the hall, a part of the chest of her shirt lost a button which made the undergarments inside to appear obvious. Elly was embarrassed because everyone made fun of her.

Elly was unlucky today. She walked out of the company gate but her arm was suddenly pulled back. Her body staggered and nearly fell. She felt the unfortunate still clinged to her when John Elliott's angry dark face terrorized her right before her eyes.

"Elly, what did you do at Alex's group?"
