Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 156

Ella was startled. She thought of her discomfort and blushed instantly. "Get out, get out, what are you doing in here?"

"Didn't you just call me? Have you already forgotten?" Leaning against the bathroom door, Samuel looked at her longingly and responded in his natural voice.

She didn't say anything. After an awkward two minutes of silence, Ella finally spoke,"I need you to buy me something, will you?"

Samuel didn't say anything but looked at her doubtfully.

Ella spoke softly,"Tampons?"

They made eye contact, an awkward moment settling between them.

Ella witnessed Samuel's good looks becoming momentarily darker.

"Er..."

'Would he deliberately take the opportunity not to buy them and tease her?' she wondered, 'Is he unwilling to run errands for her?'

"Beg me to help you." Samuel looked at Ella triumphantly. Ella's facial expression changed and became darker.

Ella's beautiful eyes looked at Samuel in anger. If given the chance, she would burn him alive.

Grinding her teeth, she said,"Don't dream of taking advantage of me!"

Samuel did not say anything. He closed the bathroom door and pretended to leave. Ella was stunned by his action.

The bedroom was quiet for a few minutes. Ella shouted,"Well, you win then. I beg you to help me, please!"

Standing behind the bathroom door, Samuel smiled,"Okay. I'll be back!"

Ella was speechless. Samuel walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

'That damn bastard!' she thought. "Bastard!" she voiced out her thoughts.

In the mean time, Ella waited until she almost fell asleep where she sat. Then she heard someone outside the door.

The bathroom door opened and a black tote bag was handed to her.

She opened the bag. It contained several packets of tampons. They were her favorite tampon brands. She looked at Samuel as he closed the door, in surprise. 'Was it a coincidence? How did he know the brands she used?' she wondered.

There were also two pairs of underwear placed underneath the tampons. Ella was so touched by his kindness that her eyes became wet.

If this had happened four years ago, she would have rushed into his arms and told him she loved him.

But now times had changed and everything had changed.

She was not the same person anymore. So was Samuel. Such was life.

By the time Ella came out of the bathroom, Samuel was already in bed, looking at his phone.

When Samuel saw her coming out, he switched off his phone.

He picked up a glass of hot water and handed it to her,"You should drink it while it's hot."

It was a glass of brown sugar water. 'Why did he do this for me?' she wondered as she took the glass.

Samuel got into bed and switched on his phone. He started reading the latest legal news.

Ella drunk the brown sugar water in silence. She was looking at Samuel and forgot to put the glass back down.

Samuel put down his phone and pointed to the empty space on the bed for Ella to sit down.

Ella looked confused at first. Then she regained her senses and put the empty glass on the table next to the bed. She got into the bed and lay down quietly next to Samuel. After sometime, she moved closer and fell into his arms.

For a while, she struggled to free herself but Samuel held her tightly. He didn't let her go no matter how much she struggled.

"Samuel, I don't want you to hold me."
