Ella always drunk in social gatherings or dinner parties. She called out a man's name in Eden's ear when she got drunk.
This night was no exception.
Turning down the request of Mr. Mattson, CEO of a real-estate developer to have sex with him, Eden helped the wobbling woman and got her in the car.
They were near the apartment provided by the company. Eden wavered when he thought of Jane, who was alone at home. But Eden still asked the driver to go to that apartment.
When they arrived, it was 1 am.
Eden helped Ella out of the car. Immediately, Ella saw a man leaning against the door of an Aston Martin and standing under the street lamp not far away.
He smoked elegantly under the dim light, which made Ella think of Samuel, whose name she had kept mentioning all night.
She shook her head hard and grabbed Eden's ear, "Eden, as young as I am, why do I feel the need to wear reading glasses?"
Walking ten steps forward, Eden and the man looked into each other's eyes.
Eden reminded Ella nervously, "No, you don't need them. Ella, that is indeed your ex-husband."
His words instantly sobered her a bit.
Although she couldn't see the man's face, she was sure that it was Samuel, who was staring at her while smoking.
"Samuel!"
She trembled for only ten seconds. "Eden, let's go! I need to sleep now!"
Ordered the drunk woman, rubbing her head on Eden's shoulder.
Eden's heart thumped, wondering what was going on between them.
However, he didn't stop and turned towards her apartment.
Eden heard the sound of Samuel's footsteps behind him, and no more than five seconds, the woman slipped into Samuel's arms.
They proceeded to walk towards the apartment, making Eden stare in puzzlement. At last, he turned back and left because he felt he shouldn't intervene.
They went to the 13th floor.
Samuel propped Ella against himself, and took her right hand, close to the door lock.
The fingerprint lock matched her little finger and unlocked with a "ting" sound.
The simply furnished apartment might be her temporary shelter.
He knew it was not her usual residence. 'I'll find out where it is!' he thought.
The apartment consisted of three rooms, only one of which had bedding's laid.
He lifted her to his chest and put her down on the bed.
Then Ella mumbled, "Samuel? It seems like Samuel is in front of me? Ah, I must be dizzy. Is possible that bastard would come to me?" Hardly had Samuel taken off her red high-heels when she rolled on the bed and couldn't keep her eyes open.
Though she kept him waiting until 1 am, his efforts were not in vain.
Samuel took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and then noticed that Ella wore a black slip dress which made her very sexy.
Since she rolled over, Samuel's eyes twinkled when he saw her messy dress.
He missed her so much but took no interest in a drunkard.
Ella rolled again and stared at that dangling man with her eyes half-opened, which were still with eyeliner.
"Hey, could you not wander round here? It makes me feel dizzy." She groaned, pouting her red lips and had no idea what she was saying.
In fact, he just stood still beside the bed, untying the buttons of his shirt.
