Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 110

Ella relaxed, as the warm water engulfed her. After the night she had had, she welcomed the effects of the water. Samuel was tormenting her and Ella didn't know why. Additionally, she didn't understand why her body betrayed her on two occasions. It's like she was under his spell, unknowingly doing whatever he wanted to her detriment.

"You see. You look relaxed now."

"Go away Samuel.

You've done nothing but frustrate me and hurt me for the past 12 hours..." Her words drifted off, as the sandman called to her. Just when her voice trailed off, Samuel turned back and saw Ella closing her eyes.

"Come on, you'll end up drowning."

Samuel dragged her out of the bath and wrapped her in a towel.

He dried off the water from her body and put a robe on her.

Her wet long hair splayed on his arms. Samuel lay her on the bed and put her hair on the edge of bed.

Drying her hair with a blow-dryer.

Ella didn't object to the pampering

As she couldn't keep her eyes open anyway.

Samuel wrapped her hair in a towel afterwards, And got in with her and slept.

Law Office of Mr. Shao.

With his briefcase in hand, Samuel walked in the office.

"Good morning, Mr. Shao." the main receptionist, as well as others he met on his way, greeted him. His response was a nod towards them.

Samuel walked into the elevator. Soon after the elevator door closed, his colleagues began to gossip.

"Did you see the mark on Mr. Shao's neck?" One co-worker asked another.

"Haha, yes I did. Kinky huh?"

The other co-worker responded.

"Very much saw. Remember last time when he came with two bite marks on his... " Another co-worker stepped in.

A cough interrupted their gossip session, And they immediately scattered in all directions.

"Good morning, Miss. Gu." they all greeted in unison as they resumed their work.

Catherine went to the elevator without greeting any of her colleagues. If what she had overhead was true, then her plan hadn't worked. She needed to consolidate her thoughts.

The Office Room

Walking into the office room, Catherine stopped when she saw a familiar figure inside.

"What are you doing here, Drake?" She glanced outside the room to see if there was anyone around, then when she was satisfied that there was no-one, she closed the door.

Drake stood up calmly. "Catherine, I'm trying my best to disrupt Samuel and Ella's relationship. There is some progress. But, now you need to keep you end of the bargain."

Catherine put her bag inside the cabinet, sat down and looked at Drake disdainfully. "What progress are you talking about? If anything Samuel is more in love than before. How do you expect me to keep my end of the deal, when Samuel is not with me?"
