Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 45

"I miss my wife" said Harry. This kind of conversation always confused Samuel. Why would he call him when he missed his own wife?

Before Samuel could even have a chance to speak, Harry complained to him disapprovingly: "When I just found my wife, yours had already asked her out." She had left him alone again.

Oh. Now Samuel was feeling more relieved.

"Where did they go? I'll go right now and pick up my wife. I need to speak with her!" He now got up from his chair where he was sitting and left the apartment.

Harry told him about the place where the two had planned on going. Samuel frowned for a bit, got in the car and firmly pressed his foot on the accelerator and drove to where he said.

On his way there, when he passed by a shopping mall, Samuel pondered for a moment at the sight of it, parked his car on the side of the road and entered one of its shops.

Ten Minutes Later

He put a small black leather box into one of his pockets and started to drive again to where his wife was.

At the Twilight Bar.

The two women sat in a quiet corner of the bar.

They ordered two cocktails and started chatting with one another.

"So, what's up?" asked one of them. Lola took a sip of her cocktail and curiously looked at the woman gulping her drink on the other side of the table.

Ella drank half a glass of cocktail breathlessly and only after put the glass down on the table and started speaking: "Lola, do you know how suffocating it can be to be with a man who doesn't love you?" Ella started to unburden herself of her secrets.

"But I saw that the two of you were just fine the other day" replied Lola. Samuel had just bought her a mansion, and this was only just two days ago. What had happened between them in the meanwhile?

Ella drank the other half of the cocktail and ordered the waiter to bring her another one.

She admired Lola so much and the vitality she evoked with her red, blushing cheeks. "It was because of his ex-girlfriend, and something also happened, too..." Ella told her friend the whole story.

Lola was confused. "Didn't Samuel show that he loved you and trusted you by buying you that house? What are you now so angry about?" Samuel sounded to be better than her Harry. He absolutely trusted his ex-girlfriend at that time.

But she wouldn't believe that. She would go back and "torture" him a little more tonight.

By now, Ella had finished two cocktails, but was still sober. She waved her hand and then shrugged it off in the air: "If he did trust me, he wouldn't force me to apologize."

She was too fixated on her cocktail that she didn't notice someone was standing just behind her. But Lola saw him and quickly winked at her to stop. But Ella didn't understand her warning, and kept on talking.

"Samuel doesn't believe me. Do you know how much I want to punch him in the face? If he was not the one I love, I would not only beat up that Catherine and Emma Gu, but also punch him straight too!"

"Do you know how much I can't stand him anymore? Just because I like him, and I do like him, every day, in front of him, I behave like I'm his timid sheep."

"Do you know how bitter that feels? So many times I was this close to flipping the table and walking straight out the door. But I let it all pass and go just for him."

"Holy shit, it feels like I'm going to explode some of these days! And I'm afraid that I'll start beating all of them up if everything keeps going more worse."

"Why, Lola? Why are you also kicking me and blaming me? You know what? That Emma Gu just wanted to make up with Sam. She even tried to seduce Sam at the hotel we were. When I first saw them kissing, I really wanted to stab them... an adulterous husband and a filthy whore. But I had to leave just with my wounded heart..."

Samuel raised his thick eyebrows when he heard what Ella had just said. Was this little woman finally showing her true character?

"I am so miserable! Do you see now what I had to sacrifice for love?"

"I see." A sudden male voice was heard around them, but Ella didn't take notice of it.

"Of course! It's too damn hard for me! Lola, you do understand me a lot." Ella cheerfully took hold of Lola's hands on the bar table, looking at her with affectionate eyes filled with care.
