President's Naughty Sweetheart novel Chapter 23

When Ella returned to the office, she saw a takeaway on her desk.

It was then she remembered that she had not even had dinner.

She looked at the takeaway and then glanced around. She found that the colleagues who had worked overtime had already been off duty.

Who had paid for the takeaway for her?

She thought of the takeaway ordered for Daniel, then hurried to his office.

Seeing the light was still burning in the office, Ella took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in." The voice was cool.

Ella came in and saw Daniel was working in front of the computer, so she said quietly, "Excuse me, Daniel, did you pay for my takeaway?"

Daniel did not look up. "Yes."

"Thank you, then I gave you the money." Ella said. She took out the money prepared from the pocket.

Hearing this, he looked up and casually said, "Just put the money on the table."

"Well, okay."

After that, Ella started to leave, but Daniel suddenly said, "Where have you been? I looked for you twice, but you were not in the office."

Looking for her?

She froze for a moment, then thought of an excuse. "Oh, I just went downstairs. One of my friends wanted to talk to me for something."

Daniel stared at her for a few seconds, then said in a cold voice, "Leave before finishing your work. I need to use your pictures in an hour."

"Okay, no problem." She hadn't put the finished pictures in the shared folder before, but now there was only one left.

Ella returned to her seat, just took a few bites of food, then began to work.

Forty minutes later, the picture was finished, then she put the ten pictures together into the shared folder. She went to Daniel's office to say goodbye, and then left the company.

Outside the company building, Ella saw a black BMW. Normally it won't catch her attention, unfortunately, she saw the familiar license plate number. The car belonged to Benjamin.

She froze for a while. She hadn't answered his phone, but she knew Benjamin came for her, so she went over.

At this time, Benjamin opened the window. Seeing her, his handsome face had a smile. "Mom let me pick you off work. She saw your car at home, and said it is not safe for a woman to go back home alone at night."

Ella didn't change her expression. "She had never been so worried before, and it is common for me to work overtime."

Her words made Benjamin's smile disappear. He just got off.

He walked to her side, opened the passenger car door for Ella, and calmly said, "Get in. My mother has made soup at home. She's still waiting for us to go back home."

Ella was certainly unwilling to go back home to cheat Ruby with Benjamin.

"Benjamin, though she hasn't known about our divorce, she will still know it sooner or later. You can't hide it forever. I'll go back to Alice's. You just tell her I'm still working and don't wait for me. Then go to bed early." She calmly said.

Ella was still waiting for Benjamin to answer, but her phone rang.

Ella took it out and found the call was from Benjamin's mother Ruby James. She hesitated for a moment, but still answered it.

"Hello, Ella. Has Benjamin met you?"

Ella looked at Benjamin and replied, "Yeah."
