Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 41

Feeling dizzy, Emma rubbed her head, until what happened last night came back to her. She felt as if she saw Samuel last night. But she was not so sure.

Who was it? Emma's face turned pale when she saw what was on the desk. A check for 500, 000 USD, on which the signature read: Felix Fei.

What the hell? What did Felix take her for?

Emma clenched the check in her fist. She must get away from him, or there would be more trouble.

On six o'clock in the morning.

Ella quietly got up, washed up, and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast.

Two bowls of millet congee, two sandwiches and two heart shaped fried eggs.

She heard a slight sound coming from the bedroom. The the door opened. Samuel came out.

"Honey!" Ella trotted cheerfully towards him, and called him with delight.

Samuel felt his morning was lightened. "Morning, dear." He held Ella's head in his hands, pulled her towards him, and kissed her softly.

Ella felt really satisfied at that moment. She hoped they could be together in the rest of their life.

"Honey, breakfast is ready. Go wash up and I'll wait for you at the table."

They ate breakfast in happiness, talking and laughing, and went to the law office together.

In the meeting room.

Today was the last time to discuss with Emma's periodical office about the issues that should be noticed on court. Emma would be the plaintiff on behalf of her office.

Emma didn't make any trouble this time, so the meeting moved on smoothly.

Ella went to the tea room to refill Samuel's cup.

Outside of the meeting room, Anna was making a dinner reservation on the phone. "No red pepper please, one of the guests is allergic to red peppers. Yes. No coriander and green onion, either. That is all."

Allergic to red peppers? Who? Samuel? Though Ella never saw Samuel eat any red pepper, she never heard him talk about it.

"Anna, is Samuel allergic to red peppers?" When Anna hung up the phone, Ella asked out of curiosity.

A slight sign of awkwardness flashed in Anna's eyes when she saw Ella. "Miss Gu is allergic to red peppers." Anna had worked for Samuel for six years, so she had seen Emma a lot before.

As long as Emma was with him, Samuel would explicitly ask his assistant to book some food without red pepper, coriander and green onion.

Therefore almost all his senior assistants knew Miss Gu didn't eat red pepper, coriander, or green onion.

Miss Gu? Emma Gu? Ella was a little relieved to know it was Emma. So she also knew her weaknesses!

"Ah, thank you. I have to rush to the tea room." Ella held Samuel's cup in her hands, and walked to the tea room thoughtfully.

When she left, Catherine suddenly came out from nowhere. After Anna and she nodded to each other, Catherine watched Ella walk away.

It was a good chance, and she wouldn't let it go.

Ella suddenly thought of another important thing when she came out from the tea room.

Samuel could book a meal with no red peppers for Emma. Did he know that Ella liked spicy food?

At that thought, Ella stopped her pace. Did she make a fuss now?

But she was really upset.

Samuel was really busy at noon, so he asked Ella to have lunch with Felix on his behalf.
