Chapter 189
189 A Blessing
“I don’t blame you,” Christian said softly, wiping Ella’s tears. His gaze was no longer cold as usual.
It seems that only Ella can melt his frozen heart.
“Am I forgiven?” Ella is still leaning on Christian’s shoulder with a pitiful look. Tears were still streaming down her face, but a smile appeared on her lips.
Christian hugs her and caresses her gently, making Ella even more sure that she has been forgiven.
Inside, she felt like she wanted to cheer. Ella immediately kissed Christian’s cheek and said softly, “I am very happy.”
Actually, she was a little surprised. She thought that asking the man for forgiveness this time would be much more difficult than before. But luckily, she didn’t have to think too hard about how to please Christian.
“Hurry and get me some tea,” Christian said, stroking Ella’s head. He felt much happier because the tears on Ella’s face had been replaced by a sweet smile.
Ella obeyed obediently. After a few steps, she turned around and asked, “Can I have a present?” Ella paused for a moment and continued, “Just a small gift.”‘
“Hmm...” Christian replied briefly.
.....
Seeing Ella’s bright face, Christian felt like his world was being flooded with bright sunlight. He saw Ella’s back disappear from his sight. The smile on his face did not disappear even though Ella was not in the room.
Because of this one woman, Christian had changed many of his habits.
Sometimes, Christian can’t stop his mind wondering, what exactly does Ella mean to him? Why did Ella make him change?
Did he... fall in love with her?
Christian shook his head. He didn’t know and didn’t understand what this feeling was. One thing he knew was he wanted Ella to stay by his side.
...
After leaving the CEO room, Ella felt much calmer both physically and mentally. Being in the same room as Christian made her very depressed.
Inwardly, she felt a little anxious. She was worried when she realized that everything was going too smoothly. Usually, after good days, there would be trouble.
Shaking her head, she walked towards the pantry. She shouldn’t think too much like this.
Step by step...
In the secretarial room, Laras was seen sitting in her chair with joy on her face as if she had achieved her biggest dream.
Surrounded by several other secretaries, she was like a star. “Sis, you are so beautiful today!”
Compared to the usual secretary style with a black skirt and hair pulled back, Laras was more suited to this new style. Her long hair made her look very charming, making her the center of attention among the other female employees.
It was at that moment that Laras finally understood why Christian liked Ella.
Usually, women who approached Christian liked to pretend to be innocent. She looked like a woman from the upper class, wearing a soft-colored dress and having a gentle appearance.
Christian must be used to dealing with those kinds of women.
Suddenly, Ella appeared with her charming style. She looked very comfortable in her own skin and confident.
Ella was different from other women so she caught Christian’s attention.
Why didn’t she notice this earlier? If only she had noticed it earlier, she wouldn’t need to copy Ella’s appearance. Maybe she could win Christian’s heart faster before Ella did.
Laras felt very sure about this. Since she dressed like this, Christian even looked at her a few times today. Those few glances were enough for her.
An intelligent woman knew how to take things slowly.
She wasn’t in a hurry. Sooner or later, she would surely win Christian’s heart.
“Sis, was the boss also stunned when he saw you today?” Several other secretaries immediately teased her.
Laras being transferred back to the secretariat department was proof that Christian still needed her. This made the other secretaries try to win Laras’ heart.
If they were close to Laras, wouldn’t that mean they would also get the benefit? According to them, a woman like Laras would get a man like Christian one day.
As usual, Laras seemed friendly when interacting with several other secretaries. They joked with each other. Laras covered her face and smiled. “You guys... stop teasing me please!”
“Ah! Sis Laras is shy!” The secretary’s room immediately became noisy.
One of the secretaries who joined in the chat was thirsty. She decided to go to the pantry to get some water. When she saw the figure in the room, she felt strange.
Although she was thirsty and had not had time to get the water she wanted, she immediately ran back to the secretary’s room.
“I saw the woman who was with Mr. Christian in the pantry,” she said hastily.
Almost no one knew that Ella was in the company at the moment. They hadn’t seen Ella in a long time, thinking that maybe Christian wasn’t in touch with Ella anymore.
Her arrival had taken everyone by surprise. They all did not expect that someone like Christian, who never cared about any woman, now kept a woman beside him.
Who would have thought that the woman would still last long enough beside Christian.
Laras was surprised when she heard what the secretary said. She stood up and asked, “Are you sure?”
The woman was still at Christian’s house this afternoon! Why was she suddenly here?
Panic immediately rose in her heart when she knew that Ella had come there.
Did that mean she was deceived again?
This makes Laras crazy!
She finally managed to get Ella commit such a big mistake that Christian threw her away and made her leave. How did she get back to Christian’s side so quickly?
All kinds of thoughts appeared in her mind. She quickly caught her breath and regained her composure.
“Is she in the pantry? I’ll see her myself.”
“Why see her? Sis...” Several secretaries were about to stop her, but Laras had already stepped out.
Laras rushed towards the pantry.
Currently, Ella was leaning on the table, waiting for the hot water to boil with a lazy posture. Christian said he wanted tea, so she would make tea.
She knew that Christian was very picky. It would have been better if she followed Christian’s order carefully rather than making a mess like before...
“Ella...” a familiar female voice sounded from behind, causing Ella to turn her head.
“Secretary Laras, hello.” Ella raised her eyebrows and greeted her briefly.
Seeing Ella’s current appearance, Laras really wanted to go up to her and tear her face. How bad was she compared to Ella?
Ella’s face was only slightly prettier than hers. That’s it!
Laras did not answer the call and only looked at Ella with a cold gaze.
Ella saw how Laras was dressed from head to toe. The woman had completely changed the way she dressed to look like her.
Laras’ arrival to Christian’s house was a blessing for Ella. Because of that woman, she was able to get Christian’s attention again. Thanks to Laras, Christian finally called her!
Ella then commented on her outfit. “You look good.”
