Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 146

A soothing breeze was blowing at the rooftop, causing Ella's face to become redder than before.

Suddenly, her attention was attracted by some whispers near-by.

A couple were in an embrace, not too far away from where she was. Seeing this, Ella thought they were an amorous couple and diverted her path to avoid disturbing them.

"Sam, why didn't you come to my rescue when Mr. Fang said those terrible things to me? Have I annoyed you?"

Sam? Ella stopped in her tracks and looked back. The man who was staring at her was none other than Samuel.

Catherine didn't notice her because she was being held tightly in Samuel's arms.

Ella sneered. How disappointing! Ella didn't care so she decided to leave.

Ella turned back and left quietly, as if she had never been there.

Samuel thought that there was no-one on the rooftop, and would have continued to believe so if he didn't notice Ella himself.

Although Catherine still felt sad in his arms, Samuel was in no mood to cheer her up.

"Then I won't bring you to this kinds of events any more." He pushed Catherine aside subtly, lit a cigarette and walked to the edge of the rooftop.

Thinking that Samuel was angry, Catherine followed him hurriedly. "Sam, it's okay. I'm willing to be disrespected for you."

"Okay." The man gave an indifferent reply and stopped talking, which caused Catherine to feel embarrassed slightly.

She had to come up with various topics to maintain the conversation.

However, Samuel replied with one-word answers, "Well." "Okay."

After Samuel finished his cigarette, they went back to their private room, when they saw Ella across the corridor.

Catherine put her hand on Samuel's arm possessively, staring at Ella complacently.

Ella cursed inside and diverted her path, walking into the private room on Samuel's right hand side.

Samuel and Catherine went into the private room on their left side. When they walked in, Mr. Fang from the Fang's Group stared at them ambiguously. "Where have you been, happy lovers?"

Hearing that, Catherine immediately ignored Mr. Fang's humiliating words and lowered her head feigning shyness.

Pulling his chair out, Samuel sat down regardless of Catherine.

Catherine didn't know if others noticed Samuel's indifference. Having no courage to look up, she sat beside Samuel awkwardly.

Samuel replied. "To get some fresh air on the rooftop."

Mr. Fang snickered with others and then changed the subject.

In the opposite private room, Ella was in no mood for anything at all after she came back and her words were less than before.

Amber was singing a popular love song with a supporting actress whilst other members of the film crew laughed and talked.

Finally, the party was over. Amber proposed for a karaoke session and many people agreed immediately to flatter her.

Ella found Eric and excused herself. She had to go home.

People left the room one after another. Ella said goodbye to the director and some good friends who were part of the filming crew and walked to the roadside to call a cab home.

However, there was no cab available and Ella had to walk along the road.

A brand new black Cadillac started in front of the hotel and drove out of the parking lot.

Ella continued walking, whilst looking for available cabs. She just wanted to get home as soon as possible and sleep with her dear Jane in arms.

A black car stopped in front of her, at a crossroad.

Ella didn't know who's car it was, so she ignored it and crossed the road.

However, when she got to the other-side, the car followed her, and stopped in front of her again.
