The elevator stopped on the second floor and a man came in. Ella immediately came up with an idea,"Excuse me, can you tell me where Ms. Gu's office is?" She grinned while staring at the man.
Ella was an attractive woman and she totally knew how to use it to her advantage. The man was thrilled to be accosted by such a pretty girl and soon told her what she wanted to know.
"Thanks, handsome!" He was even more excited to be called "handsome" by Ella. That was enough to show off in front of his colleagues when he went back to his desk and tell them the kind of romance that he had come across.
Ella pushed the button to the 13th floor as the man told her. And when the elevator door opened again, Ella walked out and followed the sign pointing towards Emma's office.
There were two people talking to each other outside the office, and neither of them noticed Ella sneaking through the corridor.
Ella then saw a sign reading Office of Inspector General. She was about to knock when she suddenly realised that Emma didn't deserve the courtesy at all.
Therefore, Ella turned the knob and pushed the door open.
Maybe Emma and Felix were too focused on what they were doing that neither of them noticed the door opening.
Ella heard a weird noise and she didn't realise what it was at first. Not until she saw what was happening in Emma's office. Her jaw dropped open in shock.
They both had their backs facing the door and so they had no clue that there was an intruder.
Feeling rather sick, Ella retrieved her phone and quickly took a picture of them.
Then she sneaked out of the room as silently as how she got in. And she tried to go back to the elevator without attracting any attention.
"Who are you?" Unfortunately, Ella was spotted by Emma's assistant before she could make it to the elevator.
Ella could almost hear her heart beating crazily all of a sudden. She took a deep breath in her mind and told herself to stay very calm.
Then she turned around with a polite smile and ran toward the assistant,"I'm here for... Jerry. But it seems I got off on the wrong floor." Ella answered with her eyes drifting around nervously. She was too scared to make eye contact with Emma's assistant.
The assistant, however, hadn't seen Ella opening Emma's office door earlier. And it was natural that she should fully buy Ella's story except for one question.
"Jerry? I've never heard of anyone with that name here."
"Well, he's new here. I'll take another look. Never mind me. Sorry for the interruption thoug
"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
door and headed to Samuel's personal break room inside his office.
Ella pushed open the door and saw something that made her furious.
Hearing the noise coming from the door behind, Samuel looked over his shoulder to see what was going on.
Did he just see Ella standing by the door? Then who was the one he was on top of?
Confused, Samuel turned back and looked down at the person in his arms. To his huge surprise, it was Catherine.
Clenched by Samuel, Catherine was staring right back at him. And then she called out with her vulnerable voice,"Mr. Shao..."
Samuel jumped out of the bed, pulling Catherine to the ground as well. Then he shouted at her,"Get the hell out of here!"
He then tried to shake off the dizziness in his head. Luckily, both of them still had their clothes on, or he wouldn't know how to explain the situation to Ella.
Sitting on the ground, Catherine was in pain and tried hard to catch her breath.
Damn this man! Did he know anything about the proper way to treat a woman?
Losing his balance, Samuel staggered to Ella and tried to grab her hands. But Ella threw his hand off.
Then she walked to Catherine, who was reclining on the ground helplessly with tears in her eyes. Ella looked at her for a while and then slapped her hard right on her cheek.
"Ah!" Letting out a terrified scream, Catherine turned her face sideways as Ella's palm landed on that side of her cheek.
Her right hand on the ground, clutched at the rug tightly.
"Ella! Ella! Who do you think you are! How dare you slap me like this! You are dead meat!"
To hide the outrage burning in her eyes, Catherine lowered her head and let the tears ran down her cheeks.
