Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 37

Today, as usual, Ella went to the conference room with Samuel. Samuel had already told her in advance that they would discuss cooperation with a magazine company from the United States.

However, Samuel didn't tell her that Emma would also be present.

Four people of the other party came, and four representatives of the law firm, Samuel, Catherine, Anna, and Ella were present.

Ella felt awkward when she saw Emma, but Samuel talked to the man next to Emma calmly with fluent English.

Ella heard vaguely that Samuel introduced her to the man, "... This is my wife and assistant. She usually helps me at the company. This is Catherine, a lawyer of our company…" It was not until Samuel finished introducing them that Ella figured out what Samuel said about her.

All the people sat down. Ella felt someone staring at her with hostility.

She looked around and met Emma's gaze. After taking a look at her, Emma turned to fix her eys on Samuel.

Ella felt uncomfortable. Then she moved toward Samuel and sat right next to him.

Samuel sensed her odd behavior. He didn't push her away, but kept talking about the contract.

After about three hours, the meeting ended at night in the hotel.

Emma's boss and the other two assistants left the conference room first. Watching Samuel walking out, Emma said, "Samuel, I want to talk about something with you."

Samuel slowed down, but he didn't stop, "Go ahead." Ella stopped and looked at Emma who fixed her eyes on Samuel.

Realizing that Ella didn't follow him, Samuel stopped.

Anna and Catherine walked outside, but Catherine said suddenly when walking to the door of the conference room, "Ella, could you come out? I want to seek advice from you."

Seek advice? Ella frowned. Why was Catherine so polite?

Ella looked around the conference room. If she left, Samuel and Emma would be alone here. She didn't want that happen…

"Catherine, let's talk about that later. I have to stay with my husband now." As Emma and Catherine shared the same surname, Ella seemed to know something. She was not stupid. She wouldn't give Catherine what she wanted.

Ella's refusal angered Catherine at the door. She stormed out of the conference room in high-heeled shoes.

Hearing that Ella addressed Samuel as "husband", Emma was surprised at their intimate relationship and squinted.

"Forget it. With someone else here, I don't want to ask about it. Samuel, let's meet some other day." Emma didn't give Samuel any chance to refuse. She took her handbag, walked out and trotted to keep up with Catherine.

Catherine Gu. Emma Gu. Ella wondered whether they were sisters. If they were sisters, she knew why Catherine deliberately made things difficult for her.

As Emma made an appointment with Samuel, Ella was pissed off. She secretly clenched her fists and decided she wouldn't give Emma any chance.

Samuel didn't speak. He turned around, held Ella's hand and went to the 68th floor.

Ella kept silent the entire way. After entering the office, Samuel spoke first, "I won't meet with her. Even if I have to meet with her for business, I will take you with me." He gently stroked her face. He didn't want Ella to feel worried.

Hearing what he said, Ella felt relieved, "Okay." With a folder in her hand, she held onto Samuel's waist, leaning against his chest and listening to his powerful heartbeat.

The office was quiet. The intimate couple had learned each other better than before.
