Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 601

The elevator stopped on the second floor and a man came in. Ella immediately came up with an idea, "Excuse me, can you tell me where Ms. Gu's office is?" She grinned while staring at the man.

Ella was an attractive woman and she totally knew how to use it to her advantage. The man was thrilled to be accosted by such a pretty girl and soon told her what she wanted to know.

"Thanks, handsome!" He was even more excited to be called "handsome" by Ella. That was enough to show off in front of his colleagues when he went back to his desk and tell them the kind of romance that he had come across.

Ella pushed the button to the 13th floor as the man told her. And when the elevator door opened again, Ella walked out and followed the sign pointing towards Emma's office.

There were two people talking to each other outside the office, and neither of them noticed Ella sneaking through the corridor.

Ella then saw a sign reading Office of Inspector General. She was about to knock when she suddenly realised that Emma didn't deserve the courtesy at all.

Therefore, Ella turned the knob and pushed the door open.

Maybe Emma and Felix were too focused on what they were doing that neither of them noticed the door opening.

Ella heard a weird noise and she didn't realise what it was at first. Not until she saw what was happening in Emma's office. Her jaw dropped open in shock.

They both had their backs facing the door and so they had no clue that there was an intruder.

Feeling rather sick, Ella retrieved her phone and quickly took a picture of them.

Then she sneaked out of the room as silently as how she got in. And she tried to go back to the elevator without attracting any attention.

"Who are you?" Unfortunately, Ella was spotted by Emma's assistant before she could make it to the elevator.

Ella could almost hear her heart beating crazily all of a sudden. She took a deep breath in her mind and told herself to stay very calm.

Then she turned around with a polite smile and ran toward the assistant, "I'm here for... Jerry. But it seems I got off on the wrong floor." Ella answered with her eyes drifting around nervously. She was too scared to make eye contact with Emma's assistant.

The assistant, however, hadn't seen Ella opening Emma's office door earlier. And it was natural that she should fully buy Ella's story except for one question.

"Jerry? I've never heard of anyone with that name here."

"Well, he's new here. I'll take another look. Never mind me. Sorry for the interruption though." Ella was playing nice and polite as if she simply had been looking for someone named Jerry in the building. The assistant didn't ask further and let her go.

Dashing into the elevator, Ella finally let out a deep sigh of relief. Damn! That was close! Emma would have killed her if she found out what Ella had done.

Now that she had something on Emma, Ella was thrilled as she stepped out of the elevator.

She was too excited about what she just saw that she totally forgot the fact that she had been stopped by the receptionist earlier and she was not supposed to show up in the elevator.

"Hey! I thought you had left. Why are you coming out of that elevator?" The receptionist hurried to grab Ella.

She was caught. But Ella came up with an idea almost instantly. Feigning pain, she clutched her belly with her hands and moaned, "I'm so sorry. My stomach was aching, so I went to use the toilet. I'll leave at once!"

Ella was a good actress. Though the receptionist looked at her doubtfully, she said nothing and simply let Ella leave.

In Emma's office.

The smell still hung in the air even though they had done their business. The man had already fully dressed. He cast a casual look at the woman who was still reclining on the sofa limply. He said nothing but simply left a cheque on her desk before leaving.

"Mr. Fei. My mother has gone back to America. I don't need your money anymore. Can we stop doing this?" Emma struggled weakly to stop Felix as he walked toward the door.

Felix's lips curled into a sneer. He didn't look back at Emma or say anything. He just walked directly out of her office.

Emma managed to walk to the restroom and sit on the toilet. Tears began to fall down her cheeks.

Twenty minutes later.

Emma put her clothes back on and reapplied her makeup neatly, cleaned her office and opened the window before sending for her assistant.

"Are you done with the report?" asked Emma calmly.

Nothing seemed unusual. So the assistant simply placed the report on Emma's desk.

Right after she was about to leave the office, the assistant suddenly remembered the call from the receptionist. Then she turned back to Emma and said, "Ms. Gu, there was a woman named Ella looking for you."

Ella? Emma frowned and wondered what had brought Ella here.
