President's Naughty Sweetheart novel Chapter 40

Unexpectedly, she was the top one!

Ella asked with self-doubt, "Was my design really the top one? Haven't you gave me extra favors?"

Her query driving Daniel displeased, his voice became a little colder, "Are you so unconfident in yourself? I am not so unprincipled! Even though I wanted you to think about let me be your boyfriend, I can separate public from private life. At work, I only judge somebody by their abilities!"

Thinking that the though may be a little mean, Ella apologized immediately, "Sorry... I thought too much."

He sighed, "Never mind. But if you doubt me again in the future, maybe you should be careful that I'll trap you up."

Ella became stunned at first and then after realizing that Daniel was playing a joke, she giggled and said, "Somehow, director, you do have some sense of humor."

He smirked with a slight curve in his mouth, "Why? I'm a human as well, why cannot I be humorous?"

The smile on their face stung Sofia in a dark place, who was terribly dissatisfied with her rank as the third place in the design competition!

She spent 20, 000 yuan to invite someone else online to finish the design but did not expect to just get a third place.

But as long as the top one was not Ella, she can temporarily swallow the jealousy.

Sofia looked at the eyes of Daniel staring at Ella. She didn't want to admit it but cannot change it that Daniel liked Ella!

(She has been married but so shameless she was to seduce single men…)

"Ella, since you are so slutty, I will be a good Samaritan to help you find a man in the scene..." Sofia drank a glass of red wine alone. Tonight she wore a red evening dress, bright and remarkable.

In the last ten minutes, even if she was standing in the shadows, she had turned down several male colleagues who wanted to strike up a conversation with her.

There were a lot of singles in the banquet hall. Although their positions were not so high, they were the representative of various departments at least, whose looks and abilities were not bad.

The legendary old chairman and his wife did not show up for the banquet, including the current president, Aiden Hill.

Daniel told Ella in private that it was normal that they didn't show up, after all, there were no media and other companies' bosses. It was enough for them to send a representative of the board to give a speech.

When Daniel came out of the hall to answer a private phone call, Sofia took the red wine and walked over to Ella's side. She said sincerely, "Ella, congratulations to you for getting the second place in the design competition!"

"Thank you, Sofia. It's nice of you to get third place!" The unintentional words of Ella became a kind of irony in the ears of Sofia as if she did not know she had won third place.

"Yeah, it was lucky." said Sofia with a fake smile.

Suddenly, Sofia covered her eyes a hand and said uncomfortably, "Could you help me find the small mirror in my handbag? It seems that my eyes have something inside!"

Becoming worried suddenly as well, Ella immediately put the unfinished juice on one side of the table, quickly picked up Sofia's handbag and said to her, "OK, wait a moment, I'll help you to find it now."

When Ella rummaged again and again through the handbag on the high table, Sofia put a white pill in her finger into Ella's cup of juice secretly…

After about two minutes' rummaging, Ella felt awkward, "Sofia, might you remember wrong? There isn't a small mirror in your bag. I'm so sorry that I forget to bring a powder box with a mirror today or I could lend it to you…"

Sofia peeked at the glass of juice on the table. At the moment any faint little bubbles disappeared. She put down her hand and smiled to Ella, "It's OK. My eyes are fine now, there's nothing inside now."

Ella said with carefulness, "Really? Shall we go to the bathroom to have a clear look?"
