President's Naughty Sweetheart

Chapter 10: Helped by A Handsome Guy

After dinner, Alice drove Ella home.

Wearing work suit in the Eastern Palace, such a high-class night club was not suitable.

Alice walked into her own walking-closet to pick out clothes from a row of nightclub clothes for Ella.

"Ella, I suggest that if you have time one day, let's buy some new clothes. I haven't bought new clothes for a week!" Alice said.

Ella, wearing a bath towel on her head, came out of the bathroom just after taking a bath. She walked to the closet, took down the towel and wiped her hair, said, "I'm afraid I don't have time recently. I need to work harder since I'm a new recruit. I have heard from other designers that they often work overtime…. By the way, I am now in the state of being divorced, so I don't need to dress up anymore. I will go home tomorrow and bring all the clothes I want here."

Alice understood Ella's situation and replied, "OK, we can go shopping when you're done your work. When you go home tomorrow? I can help you with your luggage."

"I'll tell you tomorrow." Ella said.

"Sure. I'm free all day tomorrow." Alice said.

As they chatted, Alice began to help Ella dress up. Alice chose a special dress for Ella, a fish-tail dress with gradual green sequins and with two slender straps on her shoulders, which seemed to break at the slightest pull.

Ella stared at her face. Alice had the top-notch makeup skills. After makeup, Ella's hair was in a languid curl, tucked behind one ear, with a starfish pearl pinned in it, and she were like a stunning mermaid.

Alice, holding a solid eye shadow box in her hand, stared at Ella and said in worry, "How crazy the man was that he had made so many kiss marks on you. There are too conspicuous…."

"Never mind. I want to change a dress. This one is too revealing!" Ella complained.

"No way! If I wear this dress, it is truly revealing. But it is very suitable for you. Ella, just wear this dress to find your Mr. Right tonight…" Alice persuaded.

Finally, Alice helped Ella cover those kiss marks with the foundation.

By 8 p.m., Alice and Ella appeared in their reserved box of the Eastern Palace on time.

Hunter and three other colleagues were already present with their beautiful dress-up.

After chatting for a while, they started drinking and singing.

Bella and Hunter were playing dice games that the one lost should take a drink, while Sofia and Anne, sitting in front of the song-order machine, selected the songs they wanted to sing.

There was a bunch of foods on the table and a bottle of champagnes and two bottles of red wine. Alice leaned close to Ella's ear and said, "Your former boss is very generous. It takes more than ten hundred thousand dollars tonight."

"Ding". Ella received a text message. When she saw the name of the message, she stood up and said to Alice, "Alice, I am going to the bathroom."

Ella walked quickly out of the box when Alice was saying "There is a bathroom in the box…."

Standing in the hallway, Ella checked the message sent by "Psycho", which read "The same place within an hour. Otherwise, your photos…"

'Shit! He became addicted to threatening her!'

Ella went back to the box and apologized to all that she must leave early. Although Alice let her go, she needed to give a reasonable explanation to Alice when she was back Alice's home.

When she was walking through the hallway, a fat old man, who came out of a box, said hello to Ella at the sight of her, "Beauty, come on. Come to our box, we give you more tips…."

When speaking, he reached out his hand to Ella. Ella avoided his hand immediately and scolded, "Damn it! I'm not barmaid."

She wanted to pass him and go on, but she was pulled by the man. Suddenly her dress strap broke. Ella hurried to clutch her cloth to avoid breast-baring.

"You bitch! You work for here then you should listen to the order…." The old man scolded her. when he wanted to slap Ella, another man showed up to hold the old man's hand.

The old man staggered a little. Arthur Jones, in a casual dress, said coldly, "Mr. James, are you getting drunk that you cannot figure out the dress of different beauties? Look at the one who standing next to me carefully."

Mr. James immediately became sober when he found that Arthur stood in front of him, and apologized, "Mr. Jones. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you just now. What a small world."

It was easy to find that the two barmaids standing next to Arthur dressed totally different compared with what Ella dressed although there were a little similarities. But Ella's dressing was much expensive than the barmaids'.

Mr. James became nervous instantly. The guests that can spending money in the Eastern Palace were all bigwigs. If he offended one of them, he could not continue to run a business.

"Mr. James. I think you should apologize for treating this woman in that way." Arthur said coldly even he said with smile.

Mr. James was trembling. He could not confirm the relation between Arthur and Ella and he was afraid that Ella was Arthur's girlfriend, he would be in big trouble….

He immediately bent down to apologize to Ella, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I have offended you. Please forgive me…."

Arthur let those two barmaids to leave first and squinted at Mr. James, then he said, "You can leave now."

Mr. James left in a hurry. He had no nerve to offend Arthur who had a great power in this city.

Let alone Aiden.

"Thank you for your help. But I need to leave now. I'm in a hurry." Ella thanked Arthur. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Arthur insisted to company Ella to the outdoor parking lot when Ella was going outside. Ella was waiting for a taxi when they arrived the parking lot.

Arthur chuckled, "Miss, your dress strap…."

Ella realized that she had been in an awkward position, holding her clothes with both hands. But she had no idea how to deal with the strap.

"If you don't mind, I can help you." Arthur said.

She looked up at him, saw his look like a gentleman, hesitated for a while and then agreed, "Sorry to trouble you."

"Well, not at all. It's my honor to help you." He answered Ella, looking at her thinking about their romantic encounter.

Ella blushed, bowed her head, and became nervous to look direct at him.

Arthur tied the strap in a bow. For symmetry, he tied the other side to bow as well.

After his help, the dress became a one-size-shoulder style.

Ella took out a small mirror to check her dress, and then thanked Arthur, "It's nice. Thank you."

"Since you're so grateful to me, why not give me your phone number?" Arthur said without hiding his purpose.

It made Ella disgust right away. It seemed like he had already seen that she was naked.

"It's not necessary." Ella answered coldly, glanced at him, and then got into a taxi.

Watching the taxi leaving away, Arthur felt a little frustrated for the first time.

"Arthur, it is rare to see you looking forward to a beauty." A friend, who came out to find him, said.

Arthur turned and smiled, "Stop joking on me. I did a good thing just now but failed to get the girl's phone number. It made me frustrated."

"Let it go. I find a beauty for you later. I promise you will be satisfied tonight!" his friend said.

Arthur was picked up by his friend and returned to the East Palace again. In the dim and gorgeous light, he looked at his fingers and thought about the touch of Ella's skin. A charming smile appeared on his face….

He was surprised that there was no woman except Ella who interested him so easily.
