Kattie’s actions were very slow. She picked it up slowly. Esther squatted down and helped her to pick up the scattered boxes of condoms. While picking it up, she said, “Kattie, this thing is still in good condition, it’s such a waste to throw it. Don't you want to keep them?”
Kattie was stunned for a while and then she explained, “Uh! This, this is not Elijah’s, don't misunderstand!”
Esther smiled in deep meaning, “I know this is not Elijah’s. I never get him wrong, I believe my husband. Hey, Kattie, I'm going in!”
Esther was frowning just as she turned around. Kattie said that it was Elijah’s thing and then she said that it was not Elijah’s condom. Esther’s bright eyes turned wisely. The tone and the way of her speech clearly showed that she wanted to make Esther misunderstand something. Kattie was a vicious woman but Esther won't be so stupid for this time. When Esther was thinking about the matter, she opened the door and entered the house.
Kattie packed up her things and entered the lift with a slight turn of her pupils.
By then, Esther followed Kattie from another lift when she went downstairs.
Humph!
Esther wanted to check the things in those two bags of garbage bags. She needed to make sure so that she would not get Elijah wrong. Esther was hiding in a secret place sneakily like a spy, watching Kattie who went to clean the rubbish.
There were garbage collectors who worked in that kind of high-end community but she came to the garbage room to throw the rubbish by herself. She was hardworking.
Esther flattened her mouth. When Kattie left, Esther entered the garbage room and began to check the pile of garbage after ensuring Kattie hadn't seen her. Esther pinched her little nose, enduring the suffocating smell of the garbage room. Esther kicked away the two piles of rubbish and she was surprised to find that there was nothing in the two bags except for condoms!
“Damn it! She said it was Elijah’s thing and then she said it was not, but these are all condom, how is it possible?” Esther’s heart sank and she didn't dare to think more about it.
Esther picked up a box of condoms as evidence. She must ask Elijah to explain it when he came back!
No way! She was going to be crazy!
Esther decided to ask him now. She called Elijah and asked in a bad tone, “Cheap man, where are you?"
Elijah heard Esther’s unceremonious curses inexplicably just as he picked up his phone. He was taken aback. Then, he shook his head and put the phone aside. He then spoke in a deep voice. “I'm in H City and I will be back in the afternoon!”
“What time?” She asked.
“What happened?”
“Yes! There is a very important matter! I'm waiting for you at the company and you’d better give me an explanation of it. Otherwise, I will cuckold you!” Esther provoked and threatened him before she hung up the phone.
Elijah was a little confused. He looked at the hung-up call and talked to the staff by his side, “Go back to G City now!”
“CEO, the contract has not been signed yet!”
“Just leave it to Gabriel!” Elijah ordered solemnly.
Esther rushed to the company to wait for Elijah. She did not go upstairs but dangled outside the building. Many people who came in and out were surprised. They had no idea what she was doing!
Unexpectedly, she met Ethel first who had returned to the company to get documents.
“Esther! What are you doing sneakily here?”
“Ah! Ethel!” Esther looked at him in surprise and rushed forward to give him a big hug flatteringly and attentively out of the blue. “My brother, you have to help me, Elijah might have derailed!”
“Ah—” Ethel was startled. “What do you mean?”
“Look at this! This is left by Kattie and she said it belonged to Elijah. This is the evidence!” Esther took out the box of condoms.
Ethel was in a daze. “Uh! Isn't this condom? Huh? Isn't this the new product that XX Company just listed? Oh, please give it to me. There is a shortage of supplies on this product recently. I went to buy it last night but it was immediately sold out. A lot of people stated that it worked well. I am going to use it tonight. How about selling it to me?!”
“Ah—” Esther was stunned. “Newly listed?”
“Let's take a look, it was produced less than three days ago. It is just listed!” Ethel said.
When Esther looked at the date, ‘It was proved that the condom was produced from the factory three days ago. It was true that the condom did not belong to Elijah! Humph! I almost get Elijah wrong. Damn it! If the date is a few months ahead, maybe I will get Elijah wrong.’
She didn't realize anything wrong but Elijah who had just stepped out of the car changed his face in an instant.
Ethel was overjoyed with a smile while Elijah’s facial expression was so bad it looked like he just stepped on a stool.
“Give it to me. Let’s go up!” Ethel took the box and put it in his pocket. Then, he put his arm around her waist and the two of them just looked like brothers, going upstairs.
“Ah—” It was the same scene again. There was a dice flew over. Ethel’s hand was red and swollen instantly. He was moaning in pain. He turned his head suddenly and saw Elijah.
Esther turned her head and saw Elijah. She mentioned that Elijah was not in a good mood. Thinking of her doubts about him, she immediately ran over flatly and guilty. She ran to him in a trot and spoke flatteringly, “Hubby, darling, you are back so early? I love you so much!”

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
