Trapped with a Lawyer

"Excuse me, what? This is crazy! You are the problem!" Ella's voice was almost a screech, staggered by Jason's shameless response.

If there was any doubt about his violent streak, they were quashed as Jason clenched his fist and aimed it towards Ella's face.

The on-lookers panicked. Seeing a spiked club prop near her, Ella bent over, picked it up and hit him by the arm.

Since she wasn't that strong, it didn't hurt Jason much.

Jason tossed the club to the ground and tried to hit her again. At a critical juncture, Eden pounced and grabbed Jason's arm. "Chill, Jason. You don't have to do this." Jason ignored him and pushed him aside violently.

When she saw Eden groaning on the ground, Ella was completely infuriated. "Jason, you have crossed the line!" She didn't have the skill to physically attack him, so she looked for weapons to use. She dashed to the equipment table and collected a basin of water, throwing it right to his face before Jason's fist landed on her.

The director cocked his eye at the security to separate them, but they were only driven away by Jason.

The Indian actress standing aside shouted, "Ella, apologize to Jason. Now!"

She thought that an apology might stop Jason, but Ella wasn't about to back down and surrender to jerks like Jason.

Readying herself for the punch, Ella looked at Jason in a contemptuous way. "You are a loser, Jason! You aren't qualified to be an actor. Your boss must have been blind to recruit you. You suck!" Fumed, he targeted Ella's face.

He missed her by an inch, as Ella bent over agilely.

Shit! It sucked that she didn't know any kongfu. She resolved to send Jane to a Taekwondo training class so that she could protect herself from all the jerks, just like Daisy.

"Oh my god! Who is that?" the audience exclaimed.

"See how fast he is running, even though he is wearing leather shoes."

"What is he doing here with the rose bouquet? He looks familiar."

Jason prepared to attack again, but his efforts were counteracted by the sprinting man.

When Ella looked up, a bouquet of flowers flew towards her.

Facing the man, who was wrestling with Jason, Ella was jaw-dropped.

Samuel must be her own superman, who seemed to save her from trouble at any time she needed it.

At this point, Samuel's macho display was forever imprinted on Ella's mind.

After zoning out for three minutes and ogling at Samuel and Jason rolling on the floor, she was yanked back to reality, by one of the other actresses exclaiming, "Come on, Chinese hero, kick his ass!" "We are going to get married." A French actress proclaimed excitedly.

The American actress standing next to her chimed in, "Come on! He's clearly defending Ella. You have no chance."

"Ella, Is he your boyfriend?" The French actress asked as she came close to Ella, pointing to Samuel who was entangled with Jason.

Admiring the irresistable Samuel, Ella was overwhelmed by surprise.

'Samuel must be possessed with the spirit of Spiderman.

When did he learn the Kongfu?' she thought to herself.

"He... He...uh..." She couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Samuel gradually gained an upper hand in the battle though faced with a strong rival.

Cheers soared through the crowd. The foreign women were truly more straightforward than Chinese women. They couldn't restrain themselves. "Chinese hero, I love you!"

"Oh my god! Please give me this man!"

"Come on! We love you!"

...

Ella had had enough of their excitement. There was an old Chinese saying, one shouldn't be judged from his appearance. Samuel was a jerk. Period!! The outcome of the fight was clear. Samuel's leather shoes were still immaculate.

He stamped on the defeated Jason, gasping, "You'd better apologize."

Face swollen, Jason protested, "No way. She challenged me first!"

Samuel straightened his cuff and sneered, "She can challenge whoever she wants. If you don't apologize, then we'll just have to settle this in the boxing ring." Boxing? He couldn't box. He didn't even have Kongfu skills. Jason shook in fear.

He shook his head. "No, no, no... I'll do it. I'll apologize."

Samuel withdrew his foot. Jason struggled to pick himself up, wiping blood from his mouth. He walked towards Ella, and through clenched teeth said, "I'm sorry, Ella."

All of sudden, Samuel was surrounded by a group of actresses, Ella not included of course.

With a smile on his face, he didn't utter a word.

To others, he was supposed to be delighted but in fact he was on the brink of exploding in anger.

He didn't want to surround himself with the annoying foreign women, with their screechy voices and irritating perfume scents.

Moreover, his beloved woman still stood far from him.

When he saw that she was leaving, he glanced at her with a stern expression, to stop her. But she continued to ignore him and turned towards the door.

He quickly pushed his way through the crowd of women who were offering him dates, and grabbed Ella's arm.

Ella threw the roses in the garbage bin while Samuel held and kissed her.

'What the hell is he doing? This is crazy! It is in the workplace.' Shocked, Ella tried to push him away, But he held her even tighter.
