President's Naughty Sweetheart

Chapter 38: Forced cohabitation



Chapter 38: Forced cohabitation

"Director, I ..." Ella looked at Daniel speechlessly.

"It's off-duty time. You can call me by my name. Ms.Ella, are you really married?" his eyes were full of disbelief.

Standing face to face, Ella thought about explaining just now but suddenly didn't know how to start.

Looking at the employees walking out of the gate from the company, she realized that at the rush hour it was quite inconvenient to have a talk standing here. Ella offered, "Shall we talk somewhere else? I'll explain everything clearly."

With a permissive nod by Daniel, the two walked across the sidewalk to a cafe.

After reaching the cafe, Ella found a corner to take a seat firstly and Daniel chose to sit opposite her.

The waiter came and they each ordered a cup of coffee, then both of them sank into silent for a moment.

After the coffee was served, Ella said to Daniel after a sip, "Indeed, I am married. But I am going through with the divorce these days. I didn't try to hide you but just didn't want to explain my current relationship with my husband when you asked me if I have a boyfriend. As colleagues in the company are complicated, I didn't want my personal life to be the topic of their gossip. The three female colleagues from my former company all met my husband before, but they don't know about my husband and I getting divorced."

He put the coffee cup gently on the table, his hand that held the coffee cup showing an obvious sign of relaxation, frowning for a few seconds and he looked up at Ella again, "Thank you for your willingness to tell me. I understand your situation now. Can I ask you a question?" he said calmly.

"Okay, you say."

"What's the reason of your getting divorced?" Daniel asked with confusion in his dark and cold eyes.

Ella looked dismal, "He has been cheating on me for more than half a year."

Ten minutes later, they left the coffee shop together. Daniel paid the money for coffee, refusing to let Ella pay it whatever she said.

She asked to invite him another meal as a reward. He smiled and said yes.

On the subway back home, Ella sat on a seat and thought of what Daniel had said in the cafe, that her design had been selected as the top three in the design competition whose rank was chosen by him and another famous designer.

As for the result, it will be announced at the company before next Wednesday.

Daniel also told her that he will wait for her to deal with her marital situation and hoped she can give priority to him as a boyfriend.

She answered him directly that she was not thinking about love matters for the moment but just wanted to work intently.

He did not force her but just said he would wait for her.

Half an hour later, Ella arrived home. She bought some ingredients in the small supermarket near the apartment to prepare a homemade hot pot for the evening with Alice before entering home.

Within twenty minutes, Alice opened the door with a catty of live shrimp.

Scarcely had she entered inside when she smelled the fragrance of hot pot. Joyfully, she took off her heels and ran into the kitchen.

Seeing that Ella was cutting potato chips, Alice asked with happiness, "What is the big day today? Tell me what happened. Is your design approved by your director?" Ella looked up at her, "Why did you said so?"

"Why? You would do such a tiring thing as making hot pot yourself! There must be something to announce!" Alice said for certain.

The confidant was really observant. Ella did not refute only saying to her, "Alice, wash the shrimp quickly so that we can eat later."

"Well, I'll wash the shrimp first."

Half an hour later, they ate a lot. Ella glanced at Alice and confessed, "I will move away after the meal."

Alice was shocked by the unexpected news of Ella and asked urgently, "You are moving away? Why? Don't tell me you are moving back to Benjamin's home?"

Ella shook her head without a word.

Her silence made Alice more anxious, "Then where are you moving to? God, we live in harmony. Why do you move? If you moved away, I would live alone, then how bored I would be! Ella, do you want to move away for my disadvantages?"

Although she had hesitance, facing her best friend she was afraid Alice would have random thoughts if not to tell the truth, and then their friendship would also be estranged.

She explained, "Dear, it has nothing to do with you. Don't think so anymore! To be honest, do you still remember that the male prostitute I met was actually my boss?" Alice nodded, "Yes, is it related to him? You two are going to live together?"

"Well, you can consider it as living together, whereas we're not a couple. He's threatening me with my sexy pictures to enforce me to be his lover for three months. He wanted me to move in with him, exactly tonight. A driver will be asked to pick me up at 10 p.m."

Ella showed helpless and desperate. She even received a call from Aiden to urge her when buying the ingredients in the small supermarket.

After listening to her words, Alice cannot speak for a long time, frowning on his eyebrows slightly and eating the Flammulina mushroom numbly."

Ella did not say anything as well, eating potato chips silently.

After about three minutes, Alice suddenly looked up, "Do you feel that your boss likes you? Or would a president of the Hill Group, such a large company, has no other lover? Why did he threat you, a small staff, with your sexy photos? Well, when did he take the photos? Did you volunteer or forced?"

Ella chewed food and looked at her, only feeling it was hard to distinguish the expression of the confidant at the moment.

The mood of Alice was so complicated at the moment. (A man suddenly came out to deprive Ella with her. If Ella moved away, she would live in such a big apartment alone. So Lonely! And if he really liked Ella, would Ella be out of single soon?)

She left behind again in the aspect of love. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

As for her question just now, Ella did not shy away of course, replying, "You must think too much. How could he fell in love with me? Just enjoying freshness... Maybe because it is more convenient to have sex with me as I am his employee."

Ella said with anger, "As for the photos, I had no idea that he took them at first. I thought of solving it through the law, but I was afraid it would become uncontrolled and all the relatives and friends around me would know it. My reputation would be ruined! He is too wealthy and power to be revolted."

She sighed, "I'll put up with it thinking he said he would let me go after three months. It's my fault for having been stupid enough to provoke such a man. Maybe the fate is punishing me for my careless of my life. I will never have relationship with a man casually anymore no matter how heartbroken and unwilling."
