Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 46

Alcohol had now dulled Ella's senses. She giggled like stupid: "I like it...But I like my Samuel more." She was so happy and reassured now! Her Samuel had bought her a diamond ring!

She was so excited! What should she do now?

"Are you still mad at me?" She was holding his neck tight in her arms. Ella promptly shook her head.

Her Samuel was so handsome. She couldn't help but kissing his thin, gentle lips.

This little woman. Didn't she have the patience at least to let him ask her a couple of questions? Samuel didn't notice that a gleam of love that came into her eyes.

Needless to say, they spent the whole romantic night together.

At the crack of dawn, Samuel carried Ella from the living room to the bathroom and into the hot tub, and simply washed her body. After that they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Later on, in the morning, Ella turned over comfortably in the bed and prepared to go back to sleep.

The room was too quiet. When she opened her eyes she found out that she was alone in the bedroom. Samuel had already got up. She found the alarm clock near the bedside table, and it was now half past nine.

Ella quickly got up from bed at once. Today was the day that Samuel would represent Emma's company in court. The trial must have already started, but at that time she was still at home, sleeping.

Ella smacked her forehead in frustration. Why didn't Samuel wake her up?

Nevertheless, that Emma Gu woman would certainly be there. She thought that she would better go directly to the company.

She noticed the diamond ring on her finger and remembered what had happened last night.

With a smile on her face, she stroked the ring back and forth. . So last night wasn't a dream after all.

After she washed herself quickly, Ella stood in front of the dresser, looking at the hickeys Samuel left on her neck. Ella flushed as she saw them. She opened a closet to take out a silk scarf to cover the traces of last night's love.

When Ella arrived at the company, Anna followed Samuel to the courtroom. Today, Samuel didn't assign any work to Ella, so she went to the library straight after she videochatted with Melody and her son.

When she arrived, there were very few people in the library. Ella found a few books about case studies, picked a quiet corner in the library, sat down and started reading.

Ella hadn't slept that well last night. Soon she began to feel drowsy.

She didn't even notice when someone sat down opposite of her.

Ella suddenly woke up as the book fell from her hand to the ground. When she picked up the book, she then saw the man that was seated in front of her.

"Hello, Miss Bo" spoke the man.

Ella looked puzzled at the man that spoke to her. She remembered that his name was Rake. But, wasn't he a lawyer? Why did he always come to read here?

"Hello." Ella replied formally, stood up and prepared to leave.

Drake smiled when he noticed that she was trying to avoid him; "So, Miss Bo hasn't been a bit worried that Mr. Shao represented his ex-girlfriend at court?" As he expected, Ella stopped.

Her tone became more severe: "Whatever is to worry about? There are so many people out there. Perchance they will do something out of line in public?" Who the hell was this man? She could feel that he was trying to approach her on purpose and with an interest in mind.

Ella searched her memory, but couldn't remember his full name. She was certain that she only had met him here, in the law office, and was certain she hadn't seen him anywhere before.

"Indeed, but it's so unfair for Miss Bo that Mr. Shao should fight with fervor for his ex-girlfriend's case."

Ella was not stupid to misunderstand that this guy was trying to alienate Samuel from her.

"Who are you?" She looked back at him, eyes fixed on his. He certainly didn't look like a nice person at all, keeping a sinister grin on his face.
