164 Waiting
She felt ridiculous. So ridiculous that it made Ella laugh.
Nathan, who had just entered and sat beside her, was surprised to see Ella suddenly laughing for no reason. It didn’t sound like a joyful laugh, but a sinister one that made the hairs on his neck stand on end.
“Old woman, what made you laugh?” Nathan asked in surprise.
“It’s nothing,” Ella looked at the fat boy and changed the subject. “What does your father like?”
Ella was plotting a way to please Christian. If she didn’t do anything about it, one day, Christian would completely throw her away and just leave her.
Nathan smiled and pointed at himself proudly. “Father likes me!”
Ella rolled her eyes. Could this fat boy stop being so narcissistic for a while? She also knew that Christian loved his son very much.
But that’s not what Ella wanted to know...
If Ella wrapped Nathan and sent him to Christian, wouldn’t Christian kill her?
.....
“What else?”
“There is not any.” Nathan looked at Ella confidently. “Therefore, if you want to see my father, you must take me!”
Ella looked at Nathan doubtfully. It seemed like this fat kid’s words were unreliable.
There’s no way she’d go to Christian’s company empty-handed and just take Nathan with her, right?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFinally, Ella decided to go to the kitchen and asked the chef to make lunch. Usually, the way to get a man’s heart was through food.
Since Ella couldn’t cook, she would bring lunch from home for Christian.
At least Christian would see her efforts.
Nathan pursed his lips in annoyance when he saw Ella get up and leave him. “You don’t believe me?” He said as he followed Ella’s footsteps with his little feet.
Once in the kitchen, Nathan immediately forgot the previous conversation. Seeing the various kinds of delicious food in the kitchen, his attention was immediately diverted.
In the end, he decided not to follow Ella to Christian’s company and was busy tasting delicious food.
Ella left the place carrying a box of lunch from home.
Just as she arrived at Christian’s company, it was already 3 pm. It was too late for lunch, but she would rather come with something than empty-handed.
The receptionist in the lobby immediately recognized Ella and greeted her respectfully.
For some reason, that gaze made Ella feel guilty. She was not the woman Christian loved, she didn’t deserve to be treated like this.
She didn’t bear the title ‘Mrs Adipamungkas’, she was just a woman who tried to seduce Christian to take advantage of him and use him as a tool for revenge.
One day, their relationship would end. Ella knew that everyone’s views would change once they found out that Christian didn’t want her anymore.
Ella tried not to think about it and walked straight to the elevator leading to the CEO’s room.
Now she was worried about one thing- how should she talk to Christian later? What should she tell him?
The elevator door then closed. Ella could only be silent while waiting for the elevator to take her to the top floor.
Jason had already contacted Christian and told him that Ella had come to the company.
Sitting in his study, Christian felt the anticipation in his heart growing. He didn’t know why he’s in such a dilemma right now.
He felt happy when Ella came to see him, but also felt angry whenever he thought of the men trying to get close to her.
He felt a dilemma, a feeling he had never experienced before.
After waiting for a full 15 minutes, he still didn’t see Ella.
Was the woman lost?
It shouldn’t take that long from the elevator to his office.
Christian frowned. He took a deep breath and forced himself to remain in his chair.
By this time, Ella was already standing at the door.
Carrying the lunch box, she stood still, not daring to knock on the door in front of her.
What should she tell Christian? She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to please Christian. And again, the food she brought was not made by her, but the chef at home.
Christian, who was in the room, waited impatiently. He immediately called Jason. “I haven’t seen her.”
After saying that one sentence, Christian immediately hung up without waiting for Jason’s answer.
Based on his years of experience working with Christian, Jason immediately understood.
The CEO was nervous.
Jason immediately left his current job and rushed to Christian’s room.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Ella standing at the door hesitantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he was about to call out to her, Ella had already seen him. Ella immediately raised her index finger and placed it to her lips, signaling Jason not to say anything.
After that, she approached Jason.
“Jason, do you know what Christian likes?”
Jason followed Christian every day. He must have known Christian, just as Nathan knew his father!
And Jason was much more reliable than a 5 year old.
After getting the question, Jason pondered for a while.
Being a good assistant, she shouldn’t tell anything private about Christian. But he himself did not know what the answer to Ella’s question was.
As he thought about it, Jason felt himself utterly incompetent.
Facing Ella’s hopeful eyes, he could only say, “You’d better ask him yourself.”
He had a feeling that Christian would be happy to know that Ella cared about him.
Ella shook her head quickly. “Of course you would hide this from me.”
If she had asked Christian directly, he would have immediately insulted her as usual or might have said something like, “I don’t want a woman who doesn’t know how to please me.”
Maybe after that, Ella would be kicked out straight away.
Jason didn’t know what Ella was thinking right now. “He is waiting for you inside.”
“Waiting for me?” Ella looked at him with a surprised look. She didn’t tell Christian she was coming to the company. How could Christian know she was already there?
After that, Ella looked at Jason and narrowed her eyes. It must have been Christian’s assistant who had announced her arrival.
Jason nodded. “Once you set your foot in the company, he already knew about it.”
Ella noticed it right away. Of course she couldn’t hide anything from him.
What’s the point of standing in front of Christian’s door anxiously when the man was already aware of her arrival?
Ella quickly straightened her clothes and hair, walked to Christian’s door and raised her hand to knock on the door.
