Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 48

As she stood up, Emma overheard Ella Bo asking Samuel :''Did you hear what I spoke to Lola last evening?" She did not know what she had said yesterday until she asked Lola again.

Recalling what she "backbit" on him yesterday, Samuel nodded with smile.

Ella Bo flushed and felt a little more at ease. However, she felt glad that she didn't have to hide some of her feelings anymore.

She stood up from the couch, walked straight to Emma, pointed at Emma's nose tip and said to her: "Stop playing innocent. Haven't you recognized your position yet?"

What she said did not make Emma feel any more pain. But the big diamond ring put on Ella Bo's finger was, indeed, a pain in her eyes.

At the first sight of the ring, which was a gift from Samuel to Ella, Emma could not restrain her tears any longer.

She did not mean to cry this time.

"Why are you crying? Did I bully you?" Ella Bo looked domineering right then. It seemed that, indeed, she was bullying Emma.

On seeing this, Anna discreetly left the office.

And Samuel eyed Ella Bo, half angry and half laughing. He sighed and stood up. "Enough, it's only lunch and, after all, why bother so much with this?"

Both ladies did not know to whom he talked to. But, in their eyes, he was talking to himself.

"Samuel, it's true, I am your ex. But how can you allow her to humiliate me like this?" Emma took a tissue out of her bag and wiped out her tears. Her eyes were red.

Humiliate her? Ella Bo sneered. Who the hell was Emma? The director in the head office of the Changyue International Magazine Company!

Ella Bo had made her inquires on Emma. Emma was an iron woman at work and was also particularly strong in her character.

How could Ella Bo manage to humiliate an iron woman like her?

Emma was now just playing weak and innocent in front of Samuel. And by now, Ella wanted to scratch out her crying face.

"Are you saying that I am making a fuss out of nothing?" Ella Bo was now so angry that she even glowered at Samuel.

Emma looked at Ella, and suddenly a thought came flying into her mind. She brewed and stirred her emotion for a while, and sobbed while speaking: "We were lovers way before he ever meet you. If it were not for the fact that grandma objected to us being together, you would never get the ghost of a chance to be with him in your lifetime." Besides, Samuel always keeps his nose clean. How on Earth did you manage to get pregnant with him?"

This question was well-thought, and it was to be asked only when Samuel was around to hear it. She did not know how Ella Bo had explained it to Samuel. But she had already made investigations on this matter and the truth was starting to take shape and surface.

Ella Bo's confidence was destroyed by Emma's last question in an instant, and she even began starting to tremble a bit.

Samuel looked down, thinking, pondering on what he just heard. On the night of Harry's wedding, he was taken to the hotel by his driver.

How did Ella Bo appear in his room that night? He had asked her about it in later times and she had replied that it was all a mere coincidence. They met in the hotel corridor that night and she was dragged by him into his room.

He was really drunk at that time. And he bought her story altogether.

He had never thought about it again since then. But thus happened already, and it was no use thinking about it anymore.

"We don't need to explain this aspect to you." Ella Bo tried to stop her trembling. She looked away and could barely make eye contact with Emma.

Samuel massaged the sport between his eyebrows and shouted: "Enough! Emma, stop looking for trouble. The past is past. Let it go."

He was too busy working his legal matters to have the time to think of affairs like this.

Looking for trouble? Emma was bitterly disappointed. The man she had once known changed so fast.

Emma now gave a fierce stare to Ella Bo, who was now relieved. She had handled her emotions with grace. She resumed her former elegant stance, and walked out of the office.

The office door was slammed behind her. Ella looked at Samuel who was obviously sad, and said: "Honey, I won't come to your office anymore before this case is closed. Is that alright? "

Samuel seemed to hear some of her unspoken words, and said: "No, I will keep my distance with her." He did not want his present life to be influenced by his former lover anymore.

Everything was now fine. He was completely satisfied with Ella and how things were turning out.

Ella slightly bit her lip, resisted the urge to cry, and nodded. How about telling him the truth right now?

"Big brother Simon..." Hardly had she called out his name when someone knocked at the door.

... -

The lawyer Mulei, who had been trained by Samuel, came in for him. Ella went to get two cups of water.

A cup of water served by Mrs. Shao! Mulei felt flattered: "Thank you so much, Mrs. Shao."

"You are most welcomed" -

Her mind was clogged with the events that had just happened and could barely hear Anna calling out her name.

Anna had to get closer to her to be heard: "Ella, Ella..."

"Oh, oh?" Ella finally reacted:" What? What happened, Anna? "

Anna could not stop laughing when she saw the confusing look on Ella's face. But when she remembered of Ella's big brother, her smile vanished almost instantly. "Can you get in touch with Eason?"

"My big brother?" Ella was puzzled. She looked at Anna who seemed now to be angry. What had happened? "I haven't contacted my brother in almost a week."

When he was composing, Eason was unreachable. It wasn't strange at all to be out of touch with him even for a whole month.

Anna's face darkened, and replied: "Nothing" Such a jerk. He must be avoiding her.

"Anna, what happened really?" Ella was concerned. What was going on between her brother and Anna?

Anna looked at Ella, thinking about whether to tell her about it or not.

Eason was such a jerk wanting to play her. If he wanted to avoid seeing her, she would never concede to that!

Anna gnashed her teeth, took Ella to the front of french window nearby, and began: "Your big brother has deflowered and discarded me."

- - She knew that her big brother was a playboy, but she never expected to hear it coming from Anna's mouth.

Anna repeated when she saw the confusing look on Ella's face: " Your big brother has deflowered and discarded me." Damn Eason. She felt angry with herself when she recalled that night.

On the night of Chuck's wedding, something that should not have happened did happen in one of the hotel's rooms.

And on the next morning, Eason vanished to thin air and abandoned her.

She talked with Ella about it, hoping that her parents would find Eason. She had to be given an explanation.

Ella kept a hold of the handrail, stunningly looking at Anna, who was now more casual and calm. Eason and Anna... Slept together.

After a while, Ella started: "Anna, don't worry. He'll be sorry if he abandons you. I'm calling my father to get him back from France. " Then she took her mobile phone out of her bag and started calling.
