The woman in the car was only his client. She asked Samuel to drive her home because she lived very far away from his office.
She was a long-term partner, so Samuel could not say no.
However, Ella could be very jealous if she knew that he was going to drive another woman home.
He tried to stop her, but Ella ignored him and walked towards the passenger side.
Samuel caught up with her again and tried to pull her to the other side. "Yang, take my car." Samuel shouted to Yang, who had lingered behind.
It was Yang that said Ella's name out loud earlier. Yang was very surprised when he saw Ella and raised his voice unconsciously.
Thanks to Yang, Samuel noticed Ella.
Ella calmed down a little bit, thinking that the woman in the car may be Samuel's client. It was ridiculous to be jealous.
She breathed in and out. 'Okay...' she repeated this word like a mantra in her mind, trying to will herself to calm down. After taking a deep breath, Ella smiled and was about to give Samuel a big hug when the woman in the car spoke.
"Samuel, where are you? I'm waiting for you."
Her voice was so sexy. 'How do I calm down after hearing her voice?' Ella shook her head to focus.
Ella gave him a brittle laugh, grasped his palm that was on her shoulder, and bit it as hard as she could.
Samuel was in so much pain that he let go of Ella. She seized the chance to side-step him and walked to the Maserati.
The woman wore an Army Green coat and a black tight skirt. The boots were from Dr. Martens, one of the most famous brands in the world. She looked like she was only 20 years old, with simple makeup that enhanced her facial features.
She was looking at Ella, displaying a satisfied smile. Ella instinctively knew that this woman had a crush on Samuel.
Ella was amused by the look on the woman's face and said frankly. "What makes you think that you can look at me that way?"
She truly was Samuel's wife. Why did this woman look so contented?
Willa ran her fingers through her hair and said, "It is none of your business. Let's go, Attorney Shao." She got out of the car, walked by Ella and stood in front of Samuel, tugging at his sleeve.
Th situation became very tense and awkward. Samuel glanced at her hand with red polished nails, and pulled back his sleeve gently.
Ella understood what was happening clearly. She showed no anger even though Willa ignored her.
Under their gaze, Ella opened the door of the Maserati and said, "What's that smell? It's so disgusting." At the same time, she retrieved her perfume from her bag, and sprayed it on the passenger seat. "It smells like desperation. My perfume, worth several thousand dollars per milliliter, can't even mask it."
Smells like desperation?
Samuel almost laughed out loud. When he looked over at Willa, she looked pale and and was trembling with anger.
Ella continued to spray, the smell getting stronger by the second.
After she threw the empty box of her perfume in the bin, Ella walked back to Samuel, removing his coat and purring, "Baby, how do you manage to get yourself in such situations? I'm always exhausted as your wife. How can you make it up to me? Baby?"
