Ignoring Maria's taunts, she turned to Jenny. “The year-end project, what is it?”Jenny stopped what she was doing, and answered her. “At the end of the year, the company will hold an event to celebrate its tenth anniversary with an outdoor wine party, which will take place two days after Christmas.”Jenny continued after pausing for a few seconds. “The general manager assigned this project to Maria, so the next few days she is very busy, that day she will be the host of the program.”Ella leaned back in her chair, thinking. 'A person as talented as Maria is naturally given great responsibilities.'She is not jealous of Maria. She still doesn't believe Maria is behind the shooting. Anyway, Maria is a good employee in the company.At the ceremony that day, there will certainly be many partners to sign the contract and of course, there is no shortage of food and drink. Not sure what the company's chef will serve. Ella's monthly income is just enough for her to live on, with some leftove
Feeling that she was returning his kiss, the arms around her waist tightened even more. The kiss moved slowly over her forehead, lips, and ears. Ella's breath panted at this action David. The arms around David's waist kept tightening.The arms that had been around his waist at first, had already wrapped around David's neck. Her whole body knelt between his legs, in that position she was half a head taller than him.Ella looked down, he looked up, and their eyes met. The blush on her cheeks made her face take on a seductive look.Ella lowered her head slightly, and she kissed David's lips again. She carefully ran her tongue over his lips.David didn't move, let her do what she wanted. But he waited so long that Ella's lips just stayed on his, not taking a single step forward.The kiss continues.By the time David let go of Ella, they were both gasping for breath. His forehead was covered in sweat. She felt the heat on him, she knew what this man was going through, she clung to his lap,
David and Ella ordered a total of five dishes. Breakfast is salmon, bread with avocado and tomato sauce, grilled shrimp salad, the main course is steak served with French soup, and finally, the dessert is cake.David asked her. “Do you like the food at this restaurant?”She smiles happily. "Very delicious."David meticulously cut the meat into small pieces and put it on her plate, said softly. “You have to eat a little more. I see you're a little thin."That dinner, he didn't eat much, most of the time he just watched her eat and smiled.After eating, David paid the bill. And they walked out of the restaurant. Snowflakes fell from the sky. Ella enjoyed watching. This is the first time that X City has snowed and it is also the first time she spends Christmas in the white snow. Although it snowed not much, it was more than enough for a Christmas night.The air was cold, tinged with snow, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of pure white salt. There are a lot of couples goin
Ella thought for a moment. 'Right. I don't want Maria to insult me. But, this dress is equal to a month's salary." While she was thinking about whether to buy this dress, suddenly… “I even thought I was wrong. Did you also come here to buy dresses?” Maria's voice was clearly mocking Ella. She looked at the dress in Ella's hand and continued. “This dress only has one, the price is very expensive. Can you afford it?” Ella looked up, surprised to see Maria there. But what shocked her more was Maria's mocking words. “Miss Maria, do you know her? She just chose this dress.” The saleswoman said. Maria was a regular customer of the store, so the sales staff were all familiar with her. “You want to buy this dress? Yes, you also need to look good for tonight's event. If you don't have enough money or you find it very expensive, I will pay for you, okay?" Maria doesn't care about money, her face smiles with satisfaction. Ella is embarrassed. She was insulted by Maria again. Rika shook Ell
Maria's condescending tone angered Ella. She tried to be patient. “Are you determined to confront me? Can't the two of us live in peace?"“Peaceful coexistence? This sentence is so moving that it brings tears to my eyes.” Maria scoffed, she sneered. “You want to live in peace, okay…” She poured the wine into a glass and handed it to Ella. "Drink it."Ella doubted. “Why should I drink?”"How? You don't know how to drink? When you go on a picnic, you drink alcohol, don't you?"Being provoked by Maria, Ella scowled slightly, she snatched the wine glass from Maria's hand. After accepting the invitation to drink two full glasses, she realized she had fallen into Maria's trap. But right now, surrounded by so many witnesses, she couldn't help but drink.Ella brought the wine glass to her mouth, and took a small sip, she found it very difficult to drink, she did not know what kind of wine this was. She closed her eyes to drink, only to take a sip, she had to stop, wincing. "What kind of wine
The next day, when Ella came to her desk, she saw a beautiful pink box on the table. 'This is definitely David's box. But why did he give me a present?' Ella laughed heartily while trying to guess what was inside the box.Ella opened the outer box, which contained a smaller box. For some reason, she had a bad premonition, she suspected that there wasn't a pretty thing in this box.Ella continued to open. When she saw what was inside the box, she was quite shocked, blood rushing from her legs to the top of her head, causing a dark cloud to appear before her eyes."Aaah!" She screamed in panic, her whole body fell backward, fell from the chair, and fell to the ground.It was early in the morning so there weren't many of her colleagues in the office. Jenny heard her scream and ran to her to see what was wrong with her.Ella didn't say anything, she quivered and pointed at the pink box on her desk. Jenny and her other colleagues peered inside the box. They were amazed at what they saw. I
At their home.Ella took a shower while David brought the ingredients they bought at the supermarket and started cooking.Time passed slowly, and Ella finished her bath. She went into the bedroom to dry her hair, the faint scent wafting through her nose making her empty stomach rumble. After her hair was dry, she turned off the blow dryer and returned to the kitchen.David stood in front of the kitchen, tasted the broth with a spoon, then added a little more seasoning. He turned his back to her, his back busy squirming around in the kitchen making the lonely cold space cozy.Just like last time, Ella silently watched David prepare the ingredients for the dinner menu.A few minutes later, she got bored, so she approached David who was cutting the lotus root."What is this?" she asked, directing her gaze to the pot on the stove."Lotus root." He answered softly, his fingers skillfully sprinkling a little more sugar into the hot pot."Do you need my help?" Ella asked.“Okay, you can help
“At that time, the situation was quite complicated, customers reacted violently, I used this method to temporarily delay.” David pinched between his eyebrows, looking tired.“General Manager, what kind of wine is that?”"Brandy."“Brandy? This is the most popular wine today.” "Yes, I have tested, indeed there is methanol in the alcohol that is above the legal limit." "Is the reporter there?"David sighed. “I said I would investigate this later, hopefully, they won't write anything bad. The important thing now is to regain the trust of our customers, to do that we have to produce a new wine, better than Brandy.”Listening to their conversation, Ella understood the problem David's company was facing. After ten years of genuine business being deliberately sabotaged by others, David will surely be very sad. He is the general manager of a large corporation, the pressure is not small, he has to sign dozens of contracts every day and test hundreds of new wines. She thought she should give
