Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 20 Mr. Bo, Sorry for Keeping You Waiting

Nevertheless, Samuel married another woman. If only she could get a chance, she would definitely not

let go of Samuel or just watch him be happy!

The dinner held for the one-month-old Jerry was rounded off. They went back to the old house.

Due to granny's request that night, Jerry would stay in the villa for a couple of days.

On one hand, Melody really liked her great-grandson. On the other hand, she hoped that Samuel and

Ella could spend time alone together.

Ella handed over her son in hesitation to Melody. It was true that the nanny was here to help and her

parents-in-law were not quite occupied these days. All of them could offer help if needed.

Ella sat in the empty room, waiting for Samuel to come back. He was on the errand of sending some

baby necessities to the villa.

After Jerry left, she felt quite relieved from all the burdens. But somehow, she also seemed to have lost

something.

When Samuel came back, Ella was dozing off. When she heard his footsteps, Ella sprang up from the

bed.

She quickly ran over, held up his wrist and asked impatiently: "Was Jerry crying? Was he naughty? Did

he drink the powdered milk? Did he miss me or not?"

Samuel laughed and took the impatient Ella into his arms, "Our son was behaving well. He was not

naughty and I would assume that he was not missing you that much." He was teasing her on purpose.

Ella fell for the trick and curled up her lips. She uttered: "This little monkey, I don't like him anymore." Of

course she did not mean any of that!

Samuel looked at the discouraged Ella and whispered in her ears, "You don't need to love him. I love

him. So all you need to do is to love me."

... Her face went red. Ella lowered her head and buried it into Samuel's chest.

Sam was just so annoying sometimes!

Samuel felt amused when he caught her being embarrassed. He said: "Wait for me, I am just gonna

have a quick shower."

He was definitely hinting at something in his words. Ella quickly ran back to the bed and pulled the

sheet over her head. She was all embarrassed now.

She could feel that Sam's heart was gradually warming to her these days.

He was more caring when with her. This kind of happiness made her intoxicated.

With that happy thought, she fell asleep soon.

When Samuel stepped out of the bathroom, he found a snoring little woman on the bed.

He dried his hair and embraced her in his arms. He tried every means to wake her up.

"Jerry, stop it. I need to sleep a little bit more." Ella softly murmured and fell back to sound sleep while

holding Samuel's hand.

Samuel was amused as he realized that she had mistaken him for their son.

He turned off the light and was ready to fix her.

Soon Ella woke up from her deep sleep. In the dark night, she saw Samuel's eager eyes and smiled in

silence.

Just as Ella thought she could be happy with Samuel forever, Emma turned up and turned her happy

days into a nightmare.

When Jerry was about four months old, Ella decided to go out to work.

Samuel respected her decision and advised her to work in his own law firm.

He originally planned for her to be his personal assistant, but Ella turned the offer down. She wanted to

learn from the beginning.

In Samuel's law firm.

Today was Ella's first day at work. Her role in Samuel's firm was the secretary to a female lawyer.

Samuel wanted Ella to work for him but Ella instantly got intimidated at the thought of his four capable

and professional assistants.

Samuel agreed that Ella could come and work in the firm so that she could kill some time. He never

expected her to actually earn any money here. Samuel assigned Ella to be the secretary of Catherine,

who was responsible for commercial cases. Catherine was also the only female lawyer in the firm at

the moment.

He also had another distinguished female lawyer, Rebecca, who was currently studying for further

education abroad and would only come back in half or one year.

Samuel had one simple plan. He wanted Ella to follow Catherine and learn from her for some time, and

when Rebecca returned to the firm, he would assign Ella to Rebecca then.

It had been four months now since Ella gave birth. It was her first time dressing in a one piece dress in

the past few months.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Ella showed up in an elegant ivory dress at the 23rd floor where Catherine's office was located,

attracting everyone's attention.

Rumor said that this lady was Mr. Shao's wife. A junior secretary immediately walked up to Ella and led

her to Catherine's office.

Ella stood in front of the office and knocked on the open door. There was one lady in a red suit and

trousers.

The lady heard her knocking and replied without looking up. "Come in." Her voice sounded crisp and

decisive.

Ella walked up to the desk and opened her mouth. Her voice was soft and sweet: "Hello, Ms. Gu." The

woman with medium length blonde hair just sat there writing something. Catherine continued her work

in silence.

After two minutes, Ella cleared her throat and said: "Ms. Gu, nice to meet you." How busy she is. I am

standing right in front of her and she just doesn't have time for me?'

Naturally, Catherine left a very bad impression on Ella.

She still did not get any response. This time, Ella ignored her as well. Instead, she turned around and

started examining the luxury office.

On one of the shelves, there were several lawyer awards and trophies. She had it all: gold, silver and

bronze medals. Even though she had less trophies than Samuel, Ella still admired her work.

Ella thought that all these awards and trophies had shown how remarkable Catherine was.

Ella waited for at least half an hour. Bored, she was about to take out her cellphone to browse news.

Just then, Catherine spoke to her calmly: "Excuse me, I was occupied with something important. Ms.

Bo, Sorry for keeping you waiting." She said sorry but her tone did not imply she was sorry at all.

What's more off-putting, she knew it very well that I am Samuel's wife, and instead of addressing me as

Mrs. Shao, she called me Ms. Bo.' Ella knew what was going on and simply smiled: "No worries. Ms.

Gu, please assign some work for me."

Catherine sat in her chair, lifted up some folders from aside and put them all in front of Ella. She

said:"Print all these documents out today. Turn left at the door, the last cubicle on the fifth row is your

seat. Go ahead!" With these words, she lowered her head and continued her work.

Facing such a tepid response, Ella responded indifferently, "Thank you." She picked up all the folders

and walked out of Catherine's office. She went to the place as she was told.

One, two, three... The fifth row was the last row. Her seat was at the corner.

There were some green indoor plants in front of the window and some printers.

She was delighted as she would sit by the window. She could now enjoy a good view of outside.

The girl who sat in the next cubicle had freckles on her face. She greeted Ella with a friendly smile

when she sat down.

She seemed to be timid, but her smile was very soothing. Ella smiled back and turned on her computer.

She opened a folder and saw some hand-written documents. Ella created a new word document on her

computer and started typing.

Time went by so fast when one was focusing on work. Soon it was lunch time.
