Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 37

Today, as usual, Ella went to the conference room with Samuel. Samuel had already told her in advance that they would discuss cooperation with a magazine company from the United States.

However, Samuel didn't tell her that Emma would also be present.

Four people of the other party came, and four representatives of the law firm, Samuel, Catherine, Anna, and Ella were present.

Ella felt awkward when she saw Emma, but Samuel talked to the man next to Emma calmly with fluent English.

Ella heard vaguely that Samuel introduced her to the man, "... This is my wife and assistant. She usually helps me at the company. This is Catherine, a lawyer of our company…" It was not until Samuel finished introducing them that Ella figured out what Samuel said about her.

All the people sat down. Ella felt someone staring at her with hostility.

She looked around and met Emma's gaze. After taking a look at her, Emma turned to fix her eys on Samuel.

Ella felt uncomfortable. Then she moved toward Samuel and sat right next to him.

Samuel sensed her odd behavior. He didn't push her away, but kept talking about the contract.

After about three hours, the meeting ended at night in the hotel.

Emma's boss and the other two assistants left the conference room first. Watching Samuel walking out, Emma said, "Samuel, I want to talk about something with you."

Samuel slowed down, but he didn't stop, "Go ahead." Ella stopped and looked at Emma who fixed her eyes on Samuel.

Realizing that Ella didn't follow him, Samuel stopped.

Anna and Catherine walked outside, but Catherine said suddenly when walking to the door of the conference room, "Ella, could you come out? I want to seek advice from you."

Seek advice? Ella frowned. Why was Catherine so polite?

Ella looked around the conference room. If she left, Samuel and Emma would be alone here. She didn't want that happen…

"Catherine, let's talk about that later. I have to stay with my husband now." As Emma and Catherine shared the same surname, Ella seemed to know something. She was not stupid. She wouldn't give Catherine what she wanted.

Ella's refusal angered Catherine at the door. She stormed out of the conference room in high-heeled shoes.

Hearing that Ella addressed Samuel as "husband", Emma was surprised at their intimate relationship and squinted.

"Forget it. With someone else here, I don't want to ask about it. Samuel, let's meet some other day." Emma didn't give Samuel any chance to refuse. She took her handbag, walked out and trotted to keep up with Catherine.

Catherine Gu. Emma Gu. Ella wondered whether they were sisters. If they were sisters, she knew why Catherine deliberately made things difficult for her.

As Emma made an appointment with Samuel, Ella was pissed off. She secretly clenched her fists and decided she wouldn't give Emma any chance.

Samuel didn't speak. He turned around, held Ella's hand and went to the 68th floor.

Ella kept silent the entire way. After entering the office, Samuel spoke first, "I won't meet with her. Even if I have to meet with her for business, I will take you with me." He gently stroked her face. He didn't want Ella to feel worried.

Hearing what he said, Ella felt relieved, "Okay." With a folder in her hand, she held onto Samuel's waist, leaning against his chest and listening to his powerful heartbeat.

The office was quiet. The intimate couple had learned each other better than before.

At seven in the evening.

Knowing who she would meet Emma tonight, Ella put on light makeup deliberately.

She wore an orange short jacket with black and white as base and a pair of seven-centimeter high-heeled shoes that she rarely wore.

At the sight of Ella, Samuel was surprised. It was the first time that Ella wore makeup while she was not filming. To be honest, she looked mature and charming, different from what she used to be. Samuel could hardly take his eyes off her.

His gaze made Ella blush, "Samuel, doesn't I look good?" She asked nervously.

If he said yes, she would never put on makeup anymore.

Samuel looked away and said, "No more makeup in the future." She was so beautiful that he had no sense of security.

"Oh, okay!" She replied in low spirits. When she was in the entertainment industry, others said she was beautiful when wearing makeup. Now that Samuel said so, others must have deceived her.

While waiting for the red light, Samuel looked at her sad face and knew that she had misunderstood, so he held her hands, "You are so beautiful that I don't want to go to the hotel."

He wanted to go home or stop now.

Samuel actually said that she was too beautiful, which made her blush again. He said he didn't want to go to the hotel. "Why don't you want to go to the hotel?" Were these two things related?

Hearing her naIve question, Samuel couldn't help but tease her. He whispered something to her. She blushed and said shyly, "Samuel..."

Samuel actually said he wanted to... She felt shy. So, was he trying to seduce her?

A BMW sports car stopped on the lane next to them. The window on the side of Ella was half open, and so was the window of the BMW sports car.

Emma witnessed the blushed Ella and felt pain in her heart.

Before the light turned green, Samuel stared at Ella beside him and even didn't notice Emma there.

Samuel... Emma closed her eyes. When the green light was on, she stepped on the gas and roared away.

In the Sapphire Hotel.

When Samuel and Ella arrived, all the others were present in the private room.

Emma could took a closer look at Ella now. At the intersection, she just cast a glance at Ella, who was lowering her head.

Now she knew why Samuel fell in love with her. Only with light makeup, Ella was so beautiful that no one would turn his gaze from her.

Her curved eyebrows were drawn brown, and the black eyeliner made her eyes bigger and brighter. Her tall nose and lips with orange lip gloss were seductive.

The bright coat made her cheeks ruddy...

Emma was jealous and wanted to kick her out even more eagerly.

After some greetings, everyone sat down.

Felix Fei, Emma's boss, was mixed Chinese and American.. He always lived in the United States, so he could just speak a little bit Chinese. At the sight of Ella beside Samuel, he praised, "Your wife is very beautiful. How lucky you are."
