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
Ella was walking toward the women's restroom when someone blocked her way. "Hey, beauty." The man standing in her way said mockingly.Ella stopped and looked up at the man. That's Jack. He is also an employee of the Anthony corporation this man is known to be a maniac and pervert who opened fire on David but neither David nor Ella knew, because at the time, Jack was wearing a mask. mask. He stared at her like she was wearing nothing."What are you doing in the bathroom? I'll help you." Jack grinned and asked. He looks like a drooling dog because the food in front of him is so tempting.Ella was extremely scared. "Get away from me." She shouted.But Jack kept walking closer to her.It's working hours right now, so there's no one else at the restroom except her and this crazy man."Why? You are so attractive. I would regret not enjoying your taste." Jack touched his chin.Ella was very shaken but she remained calm while speaking. "You'd better stay away from me.""You make my boss suffe
Christmas is over, and spring is coming.In a few days until the Lunar New Year, the company's employees get a week off. Lunar New Year is the most anticipated time of the year. After a tiring and stressful day at work, it's finally time to take a break.“What are your plans for this vacation?” David asked."I'm going back to my hometown to visit my father, I haven't visited him in a long time since he left the apartment." Ella pursed her lips to answer him."I'll be back with you."David's suggestion stunned Ella. “You don't celebrate the New Year with your family?”“In previous years, I spent the New Year with my family, this year is special because of you. So, I want to celebrate the new year with you.” David quickly decided. "Okay, let's decide."Ella was speechless. But she has one condition, she will pay for her own car fare and money to buy gifts to give to her father.David smiled in agreement. He has another plan in mind, David thinks he should also buy a present for his fath
At this time, Mr. Stephen took a close look at David. He realized he had seen David in business magazines.“Why are you marrying my daughter?” Mr. Stephen asked. "David knows that Mr. Stephen will ask this question. He answered honestly. "Because I love her.""Incorrect. The main reason is that you paid for my treatment when I was in an accident?” Mr. Stephen opened the cabinet and pulled out the crumpled bills. “This money I have saved over the years, I pay you. If it's not enough, I'll pay later."David froze, he felt he was offended.Ella stands inside the house, also feeling displeased by her father's actions. She was about to step out and say a few words for David when he spoke. “Sir, I admit I married Ella on purpose at first. But after a period of contact with her, with her going through difficulties, I realized that I truly love her. My love comes from the heart, not for any other reason. I hope you will marry your daughter to me, I will make her happy.”Ella was moved by Dav
