Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 24 You Don’t Have the Right



Samuel was happy as Ella was in a good mood," The car is at the 4S shop on Donghua Road. We can get it today or tomorrow." The elevator came. Samuel blocked the door and went in after Ella.

Ella nodded," Okay." They reached the 23rd floor. Ella looked at him and waved.

At the moment before the elevator stopped, Ella was ready to go out, but Samuel stopped her and kissed her on the lips.

The elevator door was open. She ran out of the elevator, blushing.

Looking at her back, Samuel wore a big smile.

When Ella gave the translated documents to Catherine, she obviously saw a touch of surprise on Catherine's face.

Thinking of how excellent Samuel was, Catherine wasn't surprised.

"Read this case and write a plan for me." Ella was pleased as a new job was assigned to her, But it was difficult for her to do that. She had never appeared in court or engaged in any lawsuit... Thinking of that, Ella, a layman, felt worried.

Catherine was disgruntled by her reluctance to take the portfolio and squinted," What are you doing? Do you want to quit?"

Every word that Catherine said irritated Ella.

Ella sneered," Catherine, this is my husband's company. You don't have the right to fire me!" She had never said something like that before, but in the face of Catherine, she had to rely on nepotism. The two words," my husband", cut Catherine to the quick.

Her cousin Emma had been in love with Samuel for many years, but eventually Ella became his wife.

"Ella, you said Samuel was your husband. But are you sure he loves you?" What she said depressed Ella instantly.

She wasn't sure about that...

Looking at Catherine, Ella felt something was wrong," You like my husband?" She made a daring guess and carefully watched the reaction of Catherine.

Catherine's heart beat quickly. She was infuriated, obviously trying to hide something. "I am simply feeling sorry for my cousin. What are you talking about?" She liked Samuel? With the presence of Emma, she never dared to think that...

"Your cousin?" These two words successfully diverted the attention of Ella. Who was her cousin?

Catherine calmed herself down," Why should I tell you that? Go back to work!" She regained her usual breath and sat back in her chair. She didn't want to talk to Ella any more.

Forget it. "Do you really want me, a green hand, to write the plan?" She didn't know whether Catherine was placing her trust in her or was simply giving her an impossible task to embarrass her.

"I don't want to repeat what I said. Get out!" Catherine was being rude, which made Ella angry.

Ella didn't want to talk to Catherine either, so she took the portfolio and got out of the office.

Sitting back in her chair, Ella opened the portfolio and took out the case inside. She was a bit dumbfounded.

She knew the storyline roughly, but what was she supposed to plan?

Finally, she helplessly sent a WeChat message to Samuel to ask him for advice.

"The library and the archives room are located on the 28th floor. Go and have a look." After a few minutes, Samuel replied.

Ella stood up and walked to the 28th floor.

The 28th floor was very quiet. She thought for a moment and decided to go to the library first.

The door of the library was opened. Ella was shocked at the scene inside the room.

What she saw was several dozen rows of long shelves filled with books.

All of them were law-related, But they were classified very clearly. Ella went to the row of introductory books. She found a few textbooks and started reading them by the window. "Hello, could I sit here?" She heard an attractive male voice suddenly.

Ella looked up at the man in a black shirt who pointed at the seat on the opposite.

She checked confusingly the seats in the front and at the back. All of them were indeed occupied.

"Oh, okay!" She quickly moved her books to her side.

"Thanks! The man gently sat down and then put a book on the table.

The library was very quiet. Ella lazily leaned back on the couch, holding her face with her right hand and finally fell asleep.

When Drake, who sat on the opposite, closed the book in his hand and went to get another one, he couldn't help laughing as he caught sight of her napping.

At that moment, someone walked in.

Drake's smile faded instantly.

He then opened another book and continued to read it.

Samuel looked at Drake indifferently and and then turned his eyes to Ella who was napping. Why did they sit together?

Samuel gently took the books out of Ella's hands and put them back on the shelves one by one. Then he picked her up and left the library.

Before leaving, he gave a warning look to Drake.

Drake seemed to not notice his gaze and lowered his head to continue reading.

Other colleagues who were reading were surprised to see Samuel hold Ella.

However, Ella was Samuel's wife, so it was not surprising.

Ella woke up at noon.

She was lying in a comfortable bed. She turned over and decided to go back to sleep.

Something's wrong. Why did she sleep in a bed? Shouldn't she be working right now? Was she in the library?

Thinking of it, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed.

She confusedly looked at the furnishings around her. There was simple furniture in the large lounge and a vertical-type freezer and mahogany wine rack on the other wall. The bed she was lying on was three meters wide and covered with grayish bedding.

So where was it? Wasn't she in the library? She got out of bed quickly, put on her shoes and gently opened the lounge door.

There was a huge office outside. A few people sat on the sofa, obviously discussing something with each other..

As the lounge door was opened, they all?turn around and looked at her.

She saw Samuel. Was this his office?

Although she worked here for a few days, she had never been to his office.

After saying something to others, Samuel stood up and walked over to her.

"Are you hungry?" Samuel pulled Ella back into the lounge again and closed the door.

Ella smiled and nodded timidly," Yes." The lunch time had already passed.

Samuel lifted his chin to one direction and said," Go wash your hands." The direction he was pointing to was the washroom. Ella walked over and washed her hands.

When she returned, Samuel had already opened some take-out. The sight of the sumptuous meal made Ella swallow her saliva.
