65 Buying Snacks at the Supermarket
“I forgot to tell you. I had a feeling the one you sent wasn’t great, so Christian threw it away. You don’t seem to have good taste.” Ella knew what Laras was thinking when she saw the dress she was wearing now.
The woman must be wondering why the dress on her body wasn’t the dress she sent earlier.
Ella still smiled sweetly even though her mouth was very sharp.
Meanwhile, Nathan who was usually mischievous, was now standing beside Ella obediently. Maybe he didn’t like Ella nor trust her, but he hated Laras more than Ella.
Laras was his father’s secretary, but Nathan had heard the woman speak ill of him behind his back. The woman pretends to be nice in front of him, especially when in front of his father, she will turn into a very considerate person.
Nathan hated this kind of person the most. A hypocrite...
Laras’ professional face showed anger and irritation. But it only lasted for a moment. She is very good at controlling her own emotions. So a second later, she regained her composure.
“Unfortunately, your goal is different from mine.” Laras gave a warning to Ella. She didn’t even call her politely anymore, because Laras thought that a woman like Ella was below her.
She thought that Ella would take advantage of the opportunity to end the conversation, just like her. After all, they wanted Christian to love them and they would do just anything to get rid of anyone standing in their way.
.....
Alas, doing stupid things like showing jealousy should be avoided.
However, Ella raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, “Why is it different? Don’t you want to be loved by Christian too?”
The question immediately changed the expression on Laras face.
She was afraid that the walls in this place had ears. She was also afraid that Christian would hear what she was thinking and send her away from where she is now.
From Christian’s side...
She has tried to hide her feelings while struggling hard to be by Christian’s side. She does all this in order to gain his truth, to be the only woman Christian is close to.
She is not like other women, who can only stare at Christian from afar.
Or like the woman before her, who would be Christian’s one night woman for a short time.
What she will have with Christian is forever!
To achieve that, she must not take the slightest risk.
“There are so many people who come and go in this company. You should pay attention to what you say. I’ve been working as Mr. Christian’s secretary for many years and I know what kind of person he hates the most.”
Laras kept her distance from Ella. Her face should always show a strong smile. She couldn’t lose to this woman.
This woman appeared so suddenly, while she had been by Christian’s side for years. What’s the point of fighting her?
Around Christian, there are so many beautiful women. Did she think she would remain by Christian’s side for a long time?
It was just her imagination!
“Oh?” Ella felt like she was being taught by a teacher. “Then do you also know what kind of person Christian likes?”
Lara immediately nodded. “Of course.” She felt very confident when she answered.
“Too bad,” Ella sighed. “You’ve been trying so hard for a long time, but you still can’t be the woman Christian likes.”
“You...”
Laras’ eyes immediately widened, wanting to reply to Ella’s words. But she felt her throat constrict, unable to say anything.
Ella seemed to stab her right on her heart.
“What the hell do you know about it!” She said at last.
“I don’t know much,” Ella tilted her head. She didn’t stand up straight like a professional looking woman before her. She stood in a casual style, even looking relaxed and a little lazy.
However, with the pink dress Nathan chose, she looked very graceful as she walked a few steps forward. She stopped in front of Laras and realized that she was a few centimeters taller than the woman.
This advantage allows Ella to look down, while Laras has to look up when she looks at her.
“In Christian’s eyes, I am a woman. And you...” Ella smiled sweetly. “Just a mere secretary. Employee. Subordinate.”
Usually, Laras is very easy to cover her feelings and control her emotions. But somehow, in front of Ella, she couldn’t help herself at all.
Every word that came out of Ella’s mouth seemed to stab her heart viciously.
“What a pity.”
Ella shook her head with a sad look and walked past her. After that, she remembered that Nathan was still there.
It rarely happens. The fat boy didn’t say anything at all. He didn’t spoil her plans and didn’t make things difficult for Ella. This made her feel happy. “Little master, would you like some snacks?”
Snacks?
Nathan’s eyes immediately lit up.
“What’s that?”
Ella held her phone with a sigh. Life of the rich.... Is simply different. This kid doesn’t even know what a snack is.
“Something delicious. Something that kids and adults will love too.”
“Is that true?” When it comes to food, Nathan is the king. His eyes immediately showed hope.
“Hmm...” Ella nodded, taking the initiative to take Nathan’s hand and lead him into the elevator.
After getting into the elevator, Nathan looked sullen. “I hated that woman, so I came with you.”
If he didn’t go, the secretary would definitely pretend to be nice to him and want to win over his heart to get his father’s attention.
“I know,” Ella nodded happily. Incidentally, she didn’t like the secretary either.
This has nothing to do with Christian. But Ella didn’t like it when other people looked at her with hatred.
Nathan didn’t expect Ella’s reaction to be so light. He thought that Ella would be like any other woman who nagged and badmouthed others behind their back.
After a moment of silence, he said, “You said you would buy me a snack. Don’t forget, okay!”
Ella lowered her head and smiled at Nathan. “Fat boy, it seems that you have a good memory.”
“Of course!” Nathan patted his chest happily.
The slightest compliment was enough to make him happy.
Ella smiled sincerely and couldn’t help but stroke the boy’s head.
Since he had promised Nathan, he finally put Christian’s food aside and went to the supermarket first.
Nathan had never been inside a supermarket before. During this time, it was the waiter or the driver who would go shopping at this place. She could only see from a distance and had never entered a place as crowded as this.
Seeing Ella take a stroller, Nathan immediately followed. He pushed Ella away and pushed the carriage with all his might. He wanted to push it himself!
Ella could only laugh as she watched it from behind.
However, her expression immediately froze when she heard the voice of a person beside her.
