Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 65

The laptop had not been turned off yet, and when Samuel hovered the mouse cursor over a photo, he saw himself in it, And Emma blowing cake candles beside him.

He felt guilty when he saw the sad woman sleeping on the sofa with her hand leaned to one shoulder.

Turning off the computer, he picked her up.

Ella briefly moved her small mouth. She had fallen asleep in a comfortable position.

It was only until Samuel put her on the bed when she finally opened her eyes.

She looked at the man beside the bed. Ah? Why was Samuel here? She thought she must've been in a dream. She then closed her eyes and fell sound asleep again.

Samuel sat by the bed, gently touching her bags.

"Ella, I am sorry.

If only you hadn't lied to me.

Ella..."

The next day, Ella woke up from her sleep because her phone was ringing.

She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and checked her phone. It was Sum.

"Hello, Sum." Her voice was husky, and this tone made Sum laugh.

"Ella, I am sorry to bother you." Sum thought she must have been awake since it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Ella shook her head and looked at the time: "It's time to get up. What happened this morning?" She yawned and sat up from her bed.

The quilt was all in a mess. Did Samuel really come back? She remembered that she had fallen asleep in the study. How did she end up from the study in the bedroom?

Sum said, "Ella, Ella, did you fall asleep again?"

The bewildered Ella awoke again from her day-dream: "No, no, what did you say?" She got out of bed and opened the window curtains.

Sum imagined her sleepy face and smiled: "I saw your resume on the internet. Are you looking for a job?" He repeated what he said again, with patience.

"Ah, yeah! I'm too bored at home and I want to find a job, yes." Ella was a little embarrassed. Since they went back to old house, Samuel didn't let her come anywhere near their child. She was always bored when she was alone, so why wouldn't she go out and get a job?

Familiar with her current condition, Sum didn't ask for more information and just spoke out a sentence which simply shocked Ella: "You have graduated the Film and Television College. If you want to come back and work in that field again, I can invest in you."

Back to that field again? She did, once, think about it. But at the present, she was not suitable for that job anymore. "Well, I'd better find another job!"

She was willing to come back but now wasn't the time!

"Well then, how about coming to my company and being my assistant? I'll provide you a monthly salary of 50, 000." Sum had planned everything in his mind: since Samuel didn't cherish him whatsoever, he wasn't to be blamed for his bold invitation.

His assistant? A monthly salary of 50, 000? "Isn't it too high? I can't do anything!" Ella was more than surprised. She hardly knew anything about being an assistant.

"It doesn't matter. You are diligent and a good learner. As long as you work hard you will be competent at your job post." Sum mentioned a few of his requirements.

Diligent? A good learner? Work hard? It sounded easy enough! It didn't look like a very demanding job.

"If so, let me have a try. Is that okay?" she asked.
