Ella asked for fare as if she deserved it, disregarding the fact that Samuel had spent two million to buy the car.
Soon, they left the Emerald Community.
It was too cold and late at night, so there were only a few vehicles on the road. Therefore, Ella accelerated the car.
Samuel answered with a smile, "Ella, I'm short of money. Can I pay you by any other means? Perhaps we can come up with a special arrangement?"
'Special arrangement?' Ella wondered what Samuel meant by that. She was still pure and naive, not a sophisticated flirt like Samuel. So she didn't understand the insinuation of those two words.
While considering what she could ask Samuel to do, Ella changed the topic, "Where is your money? Did you spend it on your mistress?"
Samuel had given Ella many of his bank cards, but Ella didn't believe that he had given her all of them.
'A mistress?' Samuel smiled. Then he answered, "If you could sponsor me, then I'll get one."
Samuel's lewd reply and ogling eyes infuriated Ella. She slapped the steering wheel angrily and unconsciously hit the horn. The piercing sound shocked them both.
"Samuel, I'm still mad at you. Stop smirking, " Ella chided. Deep down, she knew that she was taking advantage of Samuel's love for her.
'So what? Samuel is willing to dote on me and I also want him to do so.'
If Samuel doesn't change, I won't either, ' thought Ella.
Samuel's reply was obedient, "Yes, your highness. I'll follow your command. Now, please tell me why you are mad." He put his hand on her thigh, which distracted Ella. She rotated the steering wheel in shock.
The car swerved towards the roadside at high speed. Ella, whose mind went blank, froze and forgot to press her foot on the brake.
Luckily, before the car would hit the kerbstones, Samuel grasped the steering wheel and regained control.
"Ella, apply the brakes." Samuel couldn't trust Ella's driving anymore. He had done nothing but put his hand on her body, and she had almost caused an accident.
Ella, however, didn't recover from the previous shock and pressed the brakes in the middle of the road, after she heard Samuel's warning.
…
Samuel activated the emergency stop signal. Then he got out of the car quickly and exchanged seats with Ella.
Fortunately, it was a late winter night, so there weren't many cars on the road. Otherwise, Ella might have hit someone already.
"Ella, I'll assign a driver to you. You'd better never drive a car again." Samuel was worried about Ella's driving skills.
Dissatisfied with Samuel's words, Ella took a deep breath and retorted, "No. I was distracted by you. Nothing would have happened if you hadn't touched me." Angrily, Ella stared at Samuel, who was acting all decent and respectable.
"Ella, it would be much better to have a driver." Samuel tried to talk things over with Ella.
But Ella wasn't convinced and bit her lower lip, 'I'm a good driver and have never caused an accident before. It's Samuel's fault. I should let him know this.'
She thought hard and came up with a far much greater countermeasure.
"Sam... You know what? I was asleep when you arrived at Eason's home. When I heard that you were coming, I rushed downstairs to you, so I didn't have time to wear my underwear."
…
Samuel squinted, as his breath hitched.
Ella continued, "Isn't my coat pretty? Can you imagine what's under it? Maybe it's something more alluring."
Samuel couldn't help but glance at her white coat and then her pink cashmere sweater. He started to wonder what was beneath the sweater.
"If you don't believe me, you can check it out by yourself." After finishing her sentence, Ella took out a pair of black pants from her handbag.
