Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 29

Samuel nodded and turned to Ella with a serious face. "Are you implying that you do not wish to stay by my side?" He completely ignored Eason's presence. Samuel's gaze was intense and his voice soothing.

On hearing his change of tone, Ella was timid instantly. Her face went red and she murmured: "Of course not." She wanted nothing but to stay with Samuel all the time. But she was also concerned she would slow him down during work.

"Fair enough, you can stay here for now. No need to go downstairs anymore." Samuel stood up with the file in his hand. He walked over to his desk and pressed a button. "Anna, please come in." His voice was cool and steady, not like the way he addressed Ella just now. It sounded very formal - exactly how a boss should be while speaking to his subordinates.

Within 30 seconds, someone knocked on the office door and Anna walked in.

She saw the three of them sitting on the couch and raised a smile: "Mr. Shao."

Eason had met Anna many times before. He whistled at her casually, not much of a gentleman's move.

Ella looked at her bother in shock. 'What is wrong with him? Is he trying to flirt with the beautiful lady?'

Anna, however, completely ignored Eason. She stood there gracefully and looked at Samuel, waiting for his orders.

Samuel could not care less about Eason's behavior. Six years ago, when Eason saw Anna for the first time, he behaved like this. Nothing had changed ever since.

"Please return the file to Ms. Gu and inform her that my wife now works on Floor 68. Thank her for taking care of my wife before."

Anna cast a glance in Ella's direction and felt happy for her. She took over the file and replied: "Yes, Mr. Shao."

"Thank you. That's all for now." Samuel laid his hand on the back of Ella's couch. Hearing Samuel's remarks, Eason noticed that the two were very intimate.

Eason was very relieved to see that his sister was happy in the marriage. In a good mood, he turned to Anna and said: "Beautiful Anna, how about a candle-lit dinner with me tonight?"

Anna did not cast a look at him, completely ignoring him. She politely bid Samuel goodbye. "Mr. Shao, I will be on my way."

Anna walked out, but somehow Eason stood up immediately and followed her out.

Ella looked at the back of her brother and was utterly shocked. She knew it very well that her brother was kind of a playboy. But this was the first time she witnessed him chasing after a girl.

Anna completely ignored him and yet he had the guts to chase after her like that... Was Eason in love with Anna?'

"What's on your mind?" The office was now quiet as they were the only ones left. Samuel found Ella's shocked face quite amusing. He leaned over and asked her.

His handsome face was so close to her that Ella was startled. She replied honestly: "I am thinking about my brother and Anna."

Samuel was wondering since when Ella began to care about Anna. Were they already friends?

Anna was a workaholic. She wasn't very social. Work was everything to her. He had her working for him as an assistant for six years. He never saw her hanging out with any friends.

Anna was smiling at Ella just now and they seemed to be on very good terms. Samuel came to the conclusion that the two were very friendly to each other.

"Your brother should really behave now. He shouldn't be acting like a playboy all the time." Eason should follow Samuel's example. Marry a wife, have a child and start up a family. How nice it would be.

Ella could not agree with Samuel more. She nodded and said: "I would be very happy if Anna could end up being my sister-in-law." "If only my brother could behave himself."

Anna as their sister-in-law? His six-year-long assistant might end up being his sister-in-law. Samuel found this thought very weird.

"It depends on them." If Eason could somehow settle down, it would surely be nice.

Ella nodded in agreement. The office went quiet. Only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

Ella's heart beat was fast. She stood up from the couch and said: "Samuel, what can I do for you?" Her voice was soft.
