President's Naughty Sweetheart novel Chapter 38

"Director, I ..." Ella looked at Daniel speechlessly.

"It's off-duty time. You can call me by my name. Ms.Ella, are you really married?" his eyes were full of disbelief.

Standing face to face, Ella thought about explaining just now but suddenly didn't know how to start.

Looking at the employees walking out of the gate from the company, she realized that at the rush hour it was quite inconvenient to have a talk standing here. Ella offered, "Shall we talk somewhere else? I'll explain everything clearly."

With a permissive nod by Daniel, the two walked across the sidewalk to a cafe.

After reaching the cafe, Ella found a corner to take a seat firstly and Daniel chose to sit opposite her.

The waiter came and they each ordered a cup of coffee, then both of them sank into silent for a moment.

After the coffee was served, Ella said to Daniel after a sip, "Indeed, I am married. But I am going through with the divorce these days. I didn't try to hide you but just didn't want to explain my current relationship with my husband when you asked me if I have a boyfriend. As colleagues in the company are complicated, I didn't want my personal life to be the topic of their gossip. The three female colleagues from my former company all met my husband before, but they don't know about my husband and I getting divorced."

He put the coffee cup gently on the table, his hand that held the coffee cup showing an obvious sign of relaxation, frowning for a few seconds and he looked up at Ella again, "Thank you for your willingness to tell me. I understand your situation now. Can I ask you a question?" he said calmly.

"Okay, you say."

"What's the reason of your getting divorced?" Daniel asked with confusion in his dark and cold eyes.

Ella looked dismal, "He has been cheating on me for more than half a year."

Ten minutes later, they left the coffee shop together. Daniel paid the money for coffee, refusing to let Ella pay it whatever she said.

She asked to invite him another meal as a reward. He smiled and said yes.

On the subway back home, Ella sat on a seat and thought of what Daniel had said in the cafe, that her design had been selected as the top three in the design competition whose rank was chosen by him and another famous designer.

As for the result, it will be announced at the company before next Wednesday.

Daniel also told her that he will wait for her to deal with her marital situation and hoped she can give priority to him as a boyfriend.

She answered him directly that she was not thinking about love matters for the moment but just wanted to work intently.

He did not force her but just said he would wait for her.

Half an hour later, Ella arrived home. She bought some ingredients in the small supermarket near the apartment to prepare a homemade hot pot for the evening with Alice before entering home.

Within twenty minutes, Alice opened the door with a catty of live shrimp.
