Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 65

The laptop had not been turned off yet, and when Samuel hovered the mouse cursor over a photo, he saw himself in it, And Emma blowing cake candles beside him.

He felt guilty when he saw the sad woman sleeping on the sofa with her hand leaned to one shoulder.

Turning off the computer, he picked her up.

Ella briefly moved her small mouth. She had fallen asleep in a comfortable position.

It was only until Samuel put her on the bed when she finally opened her eyes.

She looked at the man beside the bed. Ah? Why was Samuel here? She thought she must've been in a dream. She then closed her eyes and fell sound asleep again.

Samuel sat by the bed, gently touching her bags.

"Ella, I am sorry.

If only you hadn't lied to me.

Ella..."

The next day, Ella woke up from her sleep because her phone was ringing.

She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and checked her phone. It was Sum.

"Hello, Sum." Her voice was husky, and this tone made Sum laugh.

"Ella, I am sorry to bother you." Sum thought she must have been awake since it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Ella shook her head and looked at the time: "It's time to get up. What happened this morning?" She yawned and sat up from her bed.

The quilt was all in a mess. Did Samuel really come back? She remembered that she had fallen asleep in the study. How did she end up from the study in the bedroom?

Sum said, "Ella, Ella, did you fall asleep again?"

The bewildered Ella awoke again from her day-dream: "No, no, what did you say?" She got out of bed and opened the window curtains.

Sum imagined her sleepy face and smiled: "I saw your resume on the internet. Are you looking for a job?" He repeated what he said again, with patience.

"Ah, yeah! I'm too bored at home and I want to find a job, yes." Ella was a little embarrassed. Since they went back to old house, Samuel didn't let her come anywhere near their child. She was always bored when she was alone, so why wouldn't she go out and get a job?

Familiar with her current condition, Sum didn't ask for more information and just spoke out a sentence which simply shocked Ella: "You have graduated the Film and Television College. If you want to come back and work in that field again, I can invest in you."

Back to that field again? She did, once, think about it. But at the present, she was not suitable for that job anymore. "Well, I'd better find another job!"

She was willing to come back but now wasn't the time!

"Well then, how about coming to my company and being my assistant? I'll provide you a monthly salary of 50, 000." Sum had planned everything in his mind: since Samuel didn't cherish him whatsoever, he wasn't to be blamed for his bold invitation.

His assistant? A monthly salary of 50, 000? "Isn't it too high? I can't do anything!" Ella was more than surprised. She hardly knew anything about being an assistant.

"It doesn't matter. You are diligent and a good learner. As long as you work hard you will be competent at your job post." Sum mentioned a few of his requirements.

Diligent? A good learner? Work hard? It sounded easy enough! It didn't look like a very demanding job.

"If so, let me have a try. Is that okay?" she asked.

Sum laughed heartily: "You're welcome to try! If you are available now, you can start right away." He hoped she could be with him all the time...

Today? The bodyguards were still standing outside the house. She didn't know whether she could get out of the house or not.

"Let me have a look at the door, and if I can get out I will call you back!" She would spare no effort in getting out as soon as possible!

"Okay, I am waiting for you!"

Hanging up, Ella rushed into the bathroom to clean herself up. Then she got downstairs and opened the door of the villa. She was very surprised at what she found out on the outside.

Walking around the villa, she didn't find any trace of the bodyguards around.

It turned out Samuel only intended to keep her grounded for one day! She had thought that she would never be able to leave the villa.

She took out her phone and called Sum back for his company's address. Afterwards, Ella changed her clothes and left for her new job. She also took other clothes with her and decided that she won't be coming back to the house in the following days.

The Moon Company

Ella parked her car in the company's parking lot. Sum was waiting for her at the gates.

She felt embarrassed when she saw that Sum had come out to receive her by himself. "Sum, why do you come out all by yourself?" They then walked towards the company.

Sum smiled at her in a good mood: "Well, if Miss Bo has promised to come to my company, I must come out and meet her by myself."

All the staffs turned their eyes towards them. They guessed who this woman was and how she could easily make their boss so happy.

"Don't call me like that. I came here to work for you. You don't have to take care of me!!"

"Nonsense, of course I have to." She was the only one on earth he had to take really good care of.

Sum took her to his office on the 12th floor. The style of his office was almost the same with Samuel's -- black and white ruled in both of their offices.

But his office was only half the size of Samuel's.

Sum poured her a glass of water and put it in front of her: "Here, you can drink some water first."

Ella took a sip of water and uncomfortably said: "I came here to work for you, but instead you treat me like an honored guest." No boss would ever receive their employee by himself downstairs and offer them water or tea.

Sum laughed with shallow dimples in his cheeks: "You are, indeed, my honored guest, and I am preparing to set a table here for you so you can work here in the future." He pointed at an empty place, indicating that that is where her table would be.

"Don't do that. I just need to find a place outside of this office." She was just an assistant, not a boss.

Sum didn't force her and then he took her to see the assistant area outside the office they were in. Sum already had two assistants. Ella was almost useless here.

After finding a suitable place for her, Sum came back with a thick pile of documents: "Today your duty is to have these classified and bring them back to me after you've finished."

Ella saw the documents surprised: "Would it be easy?" Classify... It sounded easy.

Sum stood beside her with his hands in his pockets: "Yeah, it seems easy but actually it isn't. If there is any problem, you can freely ask me." The he called a woman over.

She was young and about twenty years old. Ella said hello to her. Sum said something to Zhen. He was asking Zhen to take good care of Ella.

Sum went into the office and Ella started working on what she was assigned.

It was like he said, this job sounded easy, but in reality it was difficult.

Ella kept bustling around in his office on her first day. Only after, when she saw Ms. Zhen's eyes, did she realize she was over-enthusiastic about it.
