President's Naughty Sweetheart

Chapter 19: Cooperate to Perform

"Yeah, men are dicks. Most women are destined to encounter with several love rats…" Alice got a pillow and lied down on the sofa.

Ella looked up, "You have told me that you divorced with David, then why did he come to you?"

Alice turned to her, answered helplessly, "He came to tell me that next month on his grandfather's 80th birthday, I had to pretend with him, because grandpa is a very traditional sort of person that he won't allow us to divorce."

"His grandpa was that wide in control?" Ella was a little surprised.

"We haven't mentioned our divorce to our parents, not to mention the grandpa." Alice answered with a bitter smile.

Ella felt down in heart. It was the same for her. The divorce was still a secret to their parents.

But at least Alice managed to divorce and was free now.

whereas Ella hadn't moved to that stage. Benjamin's threatening for the five million yuan bothered her deeply."Ella, where did you sleep last night?"

Ella brought her attention back at the sudden question. She replied vaguely, "Oh, yesterday I came across with a college classmate. We had a pleasant chat late to the night, so I stayed at her house. "

Alice suddenly sat up and squinted at her. "You know how to lie now! You thought I would believe it? You didn't go home to get your luggage last night? Did you have a relapse with Benjamin?"

Ella said helplessly, "Sure enough I can never hide anything from you. I did spend the night at someone else's house last night, but it wasn't Benjamin. I didn't get my luggage back and I don't want to explain

specifically. I'll buy new ones anyway instead of returning there for my luggage. I took out all the important things like my passport and ID card. There's nothing else mattering for me."

Noticing the deep sorrow in Ella's eyes, Alice surely understood that Ella had experienced something unpleasant with Benjamin, so she stopped her enquiring.

"You told me that you felt sick last night and indeed you still look pale. I'm alright now so you can just go to rest."

Ella stood up, "Shall I help you to go upstairs?"

"Alright, you help me there"

After supporting Alice to the upstairs, Ella returned to the bathroom downstairs for a shower.

Before going to bed, she took some cold medicine again and turned off the lights. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

She finally fell asleep after scanning through the messages and finding no more harassing text from the hateful man.

A good night's sleep.

The next day after getting up early, Ella felt t much better. It was good to be young for the ability to recover form illness.

She ran upstairs to see Alice, wondering if she needed help.

"No, just go to work. I've asked a female secretary from my dad's company to take care of me" Alice said.

Ella nodded in relief. When she was just about to go, she returned again to ask, "How is your mother? Did she hurt badly?"

"It's OK, she sprained her waist and needed a month's rest, and this afternoon she will be discharged from the hospital and return home."

"Good… I'm really leaving?" Ella was still a little worried about her.

Alice raised her hands to worship her, "I beg you my dear sister. Just go. I am not disabled!"

"Well, then I'll leave you alone, really. I'll come back tonight and bring you something yummy!"

After leaving the community, Ella walked five minutes to the subway station. Just as she took the subway, Benjamin's call reached her.

"Ella Williams, have dinner with me tonight. My mother is here." Benjamin was driving with Bluetooth on.

Ella replied indifferently, "So what? It's enough that you accompany her. I won't go anyway."

"How can that be? She doesn't know about our divorce. My mother must be staying at home tonight. What will she think if you're not at home?" He said with anger.

Her mother-in-low was not so kind to her, but wasn't terrible either. But now Ella really did not want to cooperate with him to pretend any under such relationship with Benjamin.

"Just tell your mother that I'm working late at night to catch up on the design."

Chill climbed up to Benjamin's heart. He meant to take the opportunity to make Ella come back to live, but she wouldn't cooperate at all!

"You are so reluctant to go home? Which lover are you out with?" His tone was full of irony.

Anyone could satirize her, but Benjamin had no such qualification!

Ella got outraged, "Benjamin Johnson, how dare you speak like that? Who is not willing to go back home on earth? When you and Scarlett Baker were messing around, have you thought of me?"

It again came to the old topic. Despite that Benjamin was so arrogant and shameless, he couldn't get away from it.

He sighed, "Ella, can you stop talking about this? I've said that this is also your fault. Do you find it interesting to mention it over again?"

"No! Surely not! If you had decided to divorce with me earlier, we wouldn't have to talk about it!"

At this moment, Benjamin guessed that she would not want to take out the five million, he said coldly, "I have told you, divorce is OK.As long as you hand out the five million, I promise to divorce."

At the mention of the money and his resolution of not letting go, Ella was so angry that she hung up.

Benjamin looked ahead, smiling, "Ella Williams, can it be so difficult to sleep with you?"

After putting up the phone, Ella got off the subway directly, ignoring others' curious eyes.

It was still several stations away from the company, so Ella decided to take a taxi.

Luckily, she found a taxi instantly after getting out. When she got into the taxi she wondered if it was time to buy a car to make it easier to get around.

She used to drive the BMW before when she was working, but now all the cars were owned by Benjamin, even if they had not yet divorced now she won't retrieve what she said .

Benjamin had already been unrelenting with her for the five million which was owed to her, and he would be worse if she had anything else.

After arriving at the company, Aiden's message reached her just ten minutes after she turned on the computer. "Come up."

She exhaled a sigh of breath, feeling really unfortunate for herself. Why were they in the same company!

Ella pretended not to see the text message and continued to work. She had much to do today. As soon as she turned on the computer, the designer assigned her some projects. She had to finish 20 repairs.

Twenty minutes later, Aiden's text came again: "Would you Like to see those photos of you on the company's intranet?"

Ella clenched her fist but dared not to hit the table, for fear that the director hurried out again to nag on compensation.

She put her phone in the pocket of her suit shorts, pretended to pour water, slipped into the tea room and sneaked out for the elevator."

She knew that, the one waiting on the other end was still Miles Watson.

She started to admire Miles. ‘Is it really good to watch for his colleague?'

Ella stood at the office door in a black professional suit, looking quite hot with her long white legs wrapped in the suit shorts.

Although she was only 4.8 feet tall, she was in perfect shape with a pair of straight and long legs."

When she walked into the president's office, she saw Aiden sitting leisurely on the sofa in a dark suit, with a cup of coffee in hand, reading newspaper.

Ella glanced around the office. ‘The president's secretary is really idle. Without the president's attendance, he has taken this place as his own private domain.'

Her tone was unkind, "What do you want this time?"

Aiden looked up at her with his dark eyes, asking unceremoniously, "Do you feel better now?"
