Chapter 132
Even though Ella said it carelessly, for some reason Christian could feel the sadness from the woman. The sadness made him feel like protecting her. He wanted to protect Ella from anything that hurt her.
Ella just said the sentence carelessly but unexpectedly, Christian answered it seriously. “Hmm...”
Does that mean... if someone is bullying her, Christian will help her?
Ella was slightly stunned to hear that. She doesn’t know if Christian is being serious or not.
There was a knock on the door, snapping Ella out of her thoughts. A secretary came into the room with a medicine box that Christian asked for earlier.
Ella tilted her head at the sight of this new figure. Ella had never seen this secretary’s face, it seemed this secretary was new.
When she saw Ella in the CEO’s room, the secretary looked a little surprised and immediately lowered her head.
This woman was not an employee, but she entered the CEO’s office. She must’ve been an important figure then.
.....
Since when did the CEO ever bring a woman into his office?
“Sir, here is the medicine box you asked for,” she said politely and respectfully.
Ella couldn’t help but stare at the new secretary. If there was an opportunity like this, Laras would want it. She would definitely be the first to offer herself to deliver the goods Christian asked for.
Ella felt strange when she saw Laras didn’t come. Why did the other secretary deliver it?
But the new secretary seemed much more polite and kind than Laras, making Ella feel much more comfortable.
Christian told the new secretary to put the medicine box on the table and carried Ella over to the sofa.
Ella felt a little touched when she was treated like a princess. Seeing Christian who was looking for medicine in the box, her heart filled with warmth.
The man’s fingers looked long and slender, but they definitely felt strong. The combination of the two made Ella unable to take her eyes off them.
Christian’s movements weren’t gentle at all. He wasn’t used to doing things like this. Plus, when he realized that the woman in front of him was injured, he felt furious.
Ella didn’t dare to complain in pain. She let the pain numb her. Finally, she asked something to disperse the silence between them.
“Did you just change secretaries?”
Ella gritted her teeth as she spoke, trying to endure the pain.
She didn’t know how the minor injury had turned tenfold more painful than before because of Christian’s hand.
When talking about the secretary, Christian’s face changed slightly. He didn’t want to tell Ella the truth, but when he thought about Nathan being closer to her than him, he changed his mind.
“Just for a woman who has no conscience.”
“Who is the woman who has no conscience?” Ella asked carefully.
The strength in Christian’s hands intensified as he said, “Who do you think?”
Is there any other woman besides Ella in his life? The women Christian had frequent contact with were nothing more than Ella and her company secretary.
“Is it for me?” Ella’s face paled slightly from enduring the pain. Inwardly, she cursed Christian over and over again, but her face still had a bright smile on it. “I didn’t expect my position to be so important in your heart.”
Ella really looked surprised.
Laras’ position in Christian’s company was quite important. She is the chief secretary who was close to him and helped him to take care of most of the company’s affairs, so that Christian’s work could be reduced.
What surprised her even more was that Christian admitted the reason he changed his secretary without hesitation.
“Now you know.” Christian took Ella’s hand and cleaned the wound while frowning. “Say you like me.”
Christian still couldn’t get over this problem. Wasn’t he much more likable than his son? Why did Ella choose his son over him?
He had never even heard Ella say that she liked him. At the thought of this, Christian felt Ella had treated him unfairly.
Ella didn’t expect Christian to ask that so she answered obediently, “I like you.”
“You’re not being sincere when you say it.”
“I like you.”
Despite hearing it from Ella’s mouth, Christian still felt dissatisfied. He lifted his head and looked at Ella. “Can’t you say it with your heart?”
Ella looked at Christian helplessly.
She was frustrated and wanted to scream. What could she do?
“What did you say to Nathan?”
Christian put a bandage on Ella’s wound and helped her to stand. “Tell me like you said it to Nathan.”
Ella looked deeply at Christian. Her hands went up to hug Christian as she rested his head on her chest, just like when she hugged Nathan.
Letting Christian hear the sound of her heartbeat, Ella said, “Christian, I really like you. Do you like me too?”
Not knowing if it was because of Ella’s soft voice or something else, Christian’s body stiffened. He couldn’t stop himself from hugging her back.
His lips curled into a satisfied smile, but he would never admit it in front of Ella.
But he knew that he couldn’t stop the thick wall in his heart from starting to crumble.
Ella knew Christian wouldn’t answer, but still she felt confused. She fixed the expression on her face and released Christian from her embrace.
After that, she smiled and said, “That’s what I told Nathan.”
Christian looks at Ella’s face. Seeing her sparkling eyes, Christian tugs on her body and takes off the necklace around her neck before tossing it away, completely ignoring the price.
He hugged Ella’s neck and kissed her lips.
He didn’t want Ella to be tainted by another man’s trace, even if it’s just a necklace.
No one knew how angry and upset Christian was when he saw Ella wearing something that was given by another man.
Ella saw the necklace that she was about to return to Liam had fallen to the floor roughly.
Has Christian gone mad? One diamond from the necklace costs 200 million!
Ella wanted to pick it up, but Christian hugged her so tightly she couldn’t move at all.
They stayed in that position for a long time until suddenly a knock was heard from the door. Ella immediately came to her senses and pushed Christian’s body with a flushed face.
Christian found the woman’s embarrassed blush so cute. He pecked her lips briefly before opening his mouth to tell the person outside to enter.
Jason looked a little surprised when he saw Ella and then handed Christian a document. “Sir, the information you requested.”
Ella glanced at Christian briefly with a pale face.
