99 Plenty of Time
“Please get out of here. I’m fine,” Ella growled softly, taking the doctor by surprise.
The extreme anger and fear escaping Ella’s gaze made the doctor wonder, what made the woman feel this way?
He knew he couldn’t make his patient even more uncomfortable so he tried to calm Ella down. “I will go. Get plenty of rest, Miss.”
Ella felt relieved after hearing this.
However, before she could let out a calm breath, a low voice sounded in her ear. “Another sneaky trick.”
Ella’s body was shaking as she looked at the man who entered the room. A truly cruel man.
With a black suit that wrapped his looming body, he looked very handsome. However, this time, he was not wearing a tie and the top buttons of his shirt looked a little messy.
It’s rare for Ella to see a Christian like this.
Christian stepped up and walked over to Ella slowly. Meanwhile, Ella tried to stay calm as she looked at Christian.
.....
She wanted to explain her reaction to the doctor, but in the end, she said nothing. The butler and the doctor then left the room, leaving the two alone.
“Do you think everything is over?”
Christian raised his hand to caress Ella’s cheek. With a smile on his face, he said each word slowly.
This made Ella’s hair stand on end.
She dared not speak, only allowing Christian to say whatever he wanted to say.
Suddenly, pain shot up her chin as the man in front of her grabbed her and said in a deep voice, “Come with me to the office tomorrow.”
Christian tried to convince himself that he didn’t care about this woman.
He didn’t care...
...
The scenery in the city didn’t change much, even though the seasons were changing.
Ella’s eyes were fixed on the car window, seeing her reflection as well as the bandage covering her head.
Isn’t this an exaggeration?
Plus, if she walked into the office looking like this, everyone would turn their eyes at her, right?
Ella glanced sideways at the man beside her.
Everything that happened yesterday still echoed in her mind, as did all the words Christian said to her.
Ella closed her eyes. And when she opened it again, her face looked flat.
Ella couldn’t leave this man. She had to accept everything this man said and did to her.
They were both silent the whole way, making the driver who drove them tense. She could only breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the Christian’s company in front of her.
Ella looked hesitant to get out of the car. But before she could think any longer, Christian had dragged her out of the car.
“You are just a toy. Watch your manners.” Christian held Ella’s chin and his gaze was ambiguous. But what came out of his lips was cold and piercing.
Ella didn’t look away despite being treated so badly. She looked straight at Christian. “Hmm...”
Christian couldn’t see Ella’s heart breaking into pieces. The woman tried to hold back his feelings even though she was treated unfairly and only bit her lip.
Christian seemed satisfied with Ella’s submissive attitude. He turned and walked straight into his company, followed by Ella.
It was now past work hours so many employees were seen hanging around the office. Christian became the center of attention as he walked into his company, so the same thing happened to Ella, even though she tried not to attract attention.
Ella could only look at the man walking in front of her while following reluctantly.
Previously, Ella had come to the company and attracted many people’s attention. Seeing her appearance now, of course everyone would gossip about her.
Carrying documents, Laras stood in the lobby of the company gracefully. She looked at Ella’s back, with a haughty smile on her face.
It seemed that this woman, who was full of confidence a few days ago, had no meaning in her CEO’s heart anymore.
Laras had worked for Christian for many years. Of course she understood the expression on her CEO’s face.
Christian didn’t care about this woman!
If this woman were even a little special to him, Christian wouldn’t let her be noticed and gossiped about by the crowd, like an animal in a zoo.
When they arrived at the CEO’s room, Ella sat on the edge of the sofa in silence. She felt that she was better off in the lobby and being watched by a lot of people than being alone with Christian.
The man’s piercing gaze was too cold!
There’s so much work for Christian to do, shown by the paperwork strewn across his desk. But not a single word could enter Christian’s mind at this moment.
He lifted his head and looked at the woman who was so calm in his room.
Christian felt much calmer when he knew that Ella was nearby.
Ella’s gaze remained fixed on the scene outside the window.
She had read the news about the company owned by her family which moved right across from Haikal’s. She heard that they did this for their future merger.
Soon they would become one.
Ella sneered at the thought. These people were completely heartless. Ella had fallen to the point where her father no longer considered her a daughter.
“What do you see?”
Her body was suddenly hugged by the man behind her. A low and alluring voice sounded in Ella’s ears, but she also noticed the warning in it.
“I was looking at my father’s company,” Ella answered honestly.
“So impatient, huh?” Christian whispered in her ear, making Ella’s neck feel his warm breath. “Why are you rushing? There’s still plenty of time.”
Ella just smiled sadly without answering Christian’s question.
She understood the meaning behind Christian’s words. Right now, the man still couldn’t believe her and wasn’t going to help her. It felt like she was working some kind of an unpaid job just so she could gain Christian’s trust and support later.
But Ella was in a dilemma. Christian didn’t want to hear her explanation. Even if Ella had a chance to explain, Christian wouldn’t believe her.
How long should she wait?
When could she get help from Christian?
When would she get her revenge?
When would she be able to live a normal life again?
“Isn’t it enough to be by my side?” Christian hugged Ella tightly. “You can still think of someone else when you’re with me.”
Ella was about to open her mouth, but Christian interrupted her immediately. “From the start, I already knew that you were a shameless cheap woman. But you turned out to be more than I expected. You’re braver than I thought.”
Christian said it with anger burning in his eyes.
