Chapter 100
100 Jealous
“From the start, I already knew that you were a shameless cheap woman. But you turned out to be more than I expected. You’re braver than I thought.”
Ella felt that the man had lost his trust in her. However, she only flashed a charming smile. “Christian, haven’t you been talking a lot these past few days?”
Ella turned and hugged Christian by the neck. They really looked so intimate together.
Ella brought her lips closer to Christian’s, but she had no intention of kissing him. Her eyes were still shining charmingly and with her voice that whispered like a gust of wind, she said, “Let me guess. Are you jealous?”
Christian snorted and his eyes darkened. Only that grunt left his mouth before he pushed Ella’s body away from him. Because of that, Ella sat back down on the sofa.
She frowned briefly but didn’t forget to keep the smile on her face. “I can’t find any other reason to explain your current anger.”
Christian was completely different from other men. Even if Haikal was angry with her, the man would never touch her.
Haikal would only curse Ella and leave her alone.
But seeing Christian... It seemed that he was the true devil!
.....
Slowly, Ella’s hands clenched tightly. She knew she couldn’t delay any longer.
The longer she was with Christian, the more her safety would be threatened.
“I apologize.”
Christian would take no explanation from Ella’s lips. So Ella decided to apologize, even though she didn’t do anything wrong.
Ella’s long hair fell from her shoulders, covering most of her face. A white bandage wrapped around her head, making her look even more pathetic.
Christian’s gaze fell on the woman.
It seemed that Ella’s body, which had gained a little weight after being with him, now looked thin and weak again.
Suddenly, anger rose from the man’s heart.
Christian had been trying to make her healthier than before, but this woman found herself another man instead.
Plus, Ella apologized now. Did that mean that she was really back in touch with Haikal?
“You are very brave, huh.”
Christian walked over to Ella and looked at her angrily. Ella’s body looked tiny under his eyes. With her head down, she looked helpless.
Christian clenched his fists tightly, trying to contain his emotions so he wouldn’t do anything.
He felt like he wanted to hit something.
Ella nodded and slowly got up from the seat. Her body swayed a little because her head was still dizzy. She walked over to Christian’s desk and grabbed a cup of still warm coffee. “Christian, have you got any new coffee?”
Christian could see Ella’s empty eyes, making the anger in his heart flare even more.
He didn’t like seeing Ella pretending in front of him. Her smile was so fake it was hard for Christian to see any sincerity from it.
Finally, Christian returned to his seat and continued to work.
Ella sat back on the sofa, reading the magazine she had seen earlier.
Inwardly, she could only take a deep breath.
It didn’t take long, Ella felt sleepy because there was no work she could do. Subconsciously, the magazine in her hand slowly slumped and her head leaned against the side of the sofa.
Christian turned and saw Ella sleeping peacefully.
His hand stopped moving, causing the pen he was holding to leave a deep imprint on his document. He frowned and decided to leave the room.
Ella was awakened by the sound of her cell phone ringing loudly.
She rubbed her eyes and looked around her half-consciously. After that, she realized that her cell phone was ringing loudly.
The number displayed on the screen made her hands clenched into fists.
“Haikal...”
Ella’s lips curled into a sinister smile.
“Isabella...”
Haikal called her name softly, as if no argument had taken place between them at the café yesterday.
“I know you were angry yesterday because I let you down. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. If you come back to me, I will treat you well.”
“I think you’re too stupid.”
Outside the door, Laras was standing where she was holding a document. From the gap in the open door, she could see Ella’s smiling face as she answered the phone.
When Laras heard Haikal’s name, her eyes immediately lit up.
Finally, she could take down this cheap woman!
Laras took out her cellphone and took a photo.
Ella’s attention was still on her cell phone. The more Haikal showed his sincerity, the more ironic Ella felt.
“I am really, really sorry. I regret everything. As long as you want to come back to me, I promise your family will accept you back. You will still be the eldest daughter of the Maheswara family.”
Haikal felt that the offer he made was enough to tempt Ella. He knew that the position as the eldest daughter of the Maheswara Family was the most important thing, even more important than being Christian’s lover.
“Heh...” Ella sneered. Her eyes looked cold after hearing Haikal’s words. “To be honest, I don’t want to return to the Maheswara Family. What’s the point of me coming back now? My stepmother and stepsister will trample on me again. When that happens, do you intend to be the hero and save me to ensure that I won’t suffer in that house?”
On the other side of the line, Haikal’s face changed expression.
Indeed, that was his plan.
If Ella was by Christian’s side, he couldn’t do anything. But if Ella returned to the Maheswara Family’s house, he could do whatever he wanted.
“I just want you to have a better life. How long do you think a guy like Christian will want you?”
“He has no shortage of women around him. Many of them want to take your place,” Haikal sighed for a moment as if he was really worried about Ella. “I am a man. So I also understand Christian’s thoughts. You’re just a toy that catches his attention for a while.”
Ella looked at her phone with a bored look and said casually, “You’re not one to judge Christian’s feelings for me.”
Just as Haikal was about to answer, Ella was already ahead of him. “Do you know why I answered your call?”
Ella paused for a moment and then continued, “Because I don’t want to miss the chance to embarrass you.”
Ella smiled as she said that. “Do you think I am cruel? You made me like this.”
Beep... Beep...
The call suddenly ended. Haikal who was sitting in his office work chair looked at his cell phone angrily. He immediately slammed the phone, shattering it on the floor.
After Ella ended the call, she looked at the clock and found that it was almost 12 noon.
Ella guessed that Christian wouldn’t care about her today, so she finally grabbed her bag and left the place without any hesitation.
