Chapter 228
It was this woman who had beaten the war drums in the morning over the phone with her.
“Hello,” Ella only greeted Nadia briefly. There was absolutely no mention of their conversation this morning.
She ignored Nadia’s presence there and walked straight to Christian. “Do you want to eat now?” She asked as she stood next to Christian.
Without a word, Christian already grabbed Ella’s hand and carried her into his lap. Regardless of the fact that Nadia was in the room, Christian seemed to want to show his affection for Ella.
He didn’t try to hide that he wanted to spoil this woman. This woman in his lap was what he wanted.
Ella immediately blushed, embarrassed because they looked so intimate in front of someone else.
“Christian?” Ella whispers Christian’s name, still blushing with embarrassment.
“Hmm?” Christian’s mutter made Ella even more embarrassed. However, Ella had to admit that she was actually happy and that she intended to show it off to the woman beside them.
.....
She moved closer to Christian’s ear and said in a low voice, “I did this on purpose.”
A smile returned to Christian’s face until it reached his eyes. His big hand squeezed Ella’s buttocks briefly. “Naughty.”
Ella gasped and then laughed softly.
Isn’t this enough?
What if the woman in front of her was perfect? She was still the woman Christian chose.
Nadia kept a calm smile on her face.
She is jealous. Very jealous. But she must not act like a jealous woman. She had to maintain her perfect image.
Her gaze fell on Ella’s face. She could guess why Christian was so attracted to Ella.
This woman was truly beautiful and seductive.
Nadia had seen so many women from all over the world, but she had not found a woman like Ella.
A woman who was not only so beautiful and innocent but also seductive. Really the type who could catch everyone’s attention and win a man’s heart easily.
Because of this, Nadia became more and more confident that she could get Christian.
In this world, there were so many men who wanted a woman like Ella. And a woman like Ella wouldn’t have sex with just one man.
Maybe Christian didn’t know about it now. But if he did, Christian would kick Ella from his side in no time.
“You must have a lot of friends, huh?” Nadia stepped back quickly, as if keeping her distance from them.
Ella just shook her head. “I don’t have many friends. I only have Christian.” What she said was not only to please Christian, but also to speak the truth.
After getting out of the mental hospital, who would want to be friends with her? Coupled with her current status. If it weren’t for Christian, she probably would be living on the streets by now.
That sentence of course made Christian’s heart feel very happy. He couldn’t contain his happiness when the woman in his lap said that he was the only one for her.
“Good,” Christian raised his hand to stroke Ella’s head. Then he asked, “Why did you come all of a sudden today?”
“Why do you think, hmm?” Ella looked at Christian with a worried look.
Christian liked Ella and didn’t try to hide it. But Ella could clearly see that there was another woman more attractive than her standing beside Christian.
What if Christian changed his heart?
“Miss Nadia, it seems that our discussion on cooperation issues has been completed. You may go,” Christian said coldly.
Ella immediately felt relieved to hear that.
In the morning, this woman still boasted of her status as Christian’s best friend to her. This woman had been worrying her all day.
But now this woman was getting a hard slap, though not literally, from Christian himself.
Didn’t she say she’s best friends with Christian?
But if they were really good friends, would Christian call her with such a title?
Ella thought Nadia would be furious. But apparently, the woman still showed a calm expression.
“In that case, fine then. I’ll go first,” Nadia smiled at Christian. “We can discuss this cooperation in more detail next time.”
Of course Nadia wasn’t so stupid as to make trouble with Christian. She must ensure that her goals would be achieved.
After all, she didn’t need to step in to destroy Christian’s relationship with Ella. Even today, Christian’s grandfather was still against their relationship.
After leaving the CEO’s room, Nadia immediately contacted Hartono and asked to meet as soon as possible.
She wanted to get Christian. And to get Christian, she would do everything she could.
She didn’t mind even if she had to fight it. Because she knew that to get the best, she must also try her best.
Inside the CEO’s room, Christian held Ella’s hand and smelled her scent. He felt very calm. He’s in a much better mood now.
“You came today,” it was rare for Ella to take the initiative to come without being asked. Normally, Ella would come only when Christian called her.
“I missed you,” Ella raised her hand to touch Christian’s chest. “I want to see if anyone dares to approach and tease you. Turns out it’s true. I am very sad now.”
Ella pursed her lips, making her face look sweet.
Christian feels like his heart has been stabbed by an invisible arrow. He raised his hand to stroke Ella’s head and said, “What are you thinking? She is just a coworker.”
“But she likes you,” Ella blinked innocently as she considered her choice of words. She was afraid to make Christian even more upset.
Seeing Ella’s adorable and sad face in front of him, Christian seems to have fallen for the umpteenth time. He took Ella’s hand and kissed the back of her hand gently. “Of course there are so many women who like me.” After saying that, he kissed Ella’s lips.
Seeing Ella not refusing him drove Christian to deepen their kiss.
Ella felt uneasy with Christian’s answer. What must she do to keep that woman from taking Christian away from her?
...
The office pantry was not only a resting place that provided various drinks for employees, but also a place for employees to gossip. Ella had just come downstairs to get Christian tea. But just as she was about to enter, she overheard some of the employees talking about their boss’ love affair.
“Miss Nadia came to see Mr. Christian today, she looks very beautiful. I think she is very suitable for him.”
“I feel the same way too. She is very graceful and humble as well, much better than the woman Mr. Christian keeps by his side now.”
