Trapped with the CEO

Elaine looked at her irritated daughter and giggled winningly: "Oh my dear daughter, you are so pretty, and I am sure you can use that to your advantage." Samuel with all his money was such a catch. It was so stupid of Emma to ever let go of him.

Emma was now more agitated. Of course she had been trying to get him, but Samuel always turned her down with a cold shoulder.

"Say no more. You should leave now." Elaine was in heavy debt and there were a lot of people chasing after her for money. Emma would hate to see those rude and brutal debt-collectors.

Elaine laid herself comfortably on the couch and behaved like an unreasonable child: "I have nowhere to go." She followed Emma to America and then from America to here. She would go wherever Emma went. Her daughter was her source of income. How could she live without her.

Emma stood up and took out a thick deck of money from her purse. She threw the money on the table and shouted at her mother: "I have no more savings. You are driving me crazy! Your unreasonable demands are killing me!"

Elaine was thrilled when she saw the money. She sat up and started counting.

She cast a glance at her daughter's irritated face and casually said: "What are you worried about? Didn't you just receive a lot of money from the boss of your firm, Mr. Fei?" mocked Elaine.

How dare she bring this up! Emma touched her forehead in agony. She stood up from the the couch and pulled Elaine towards the door with all her force. She shouted: "Go away right now!" Was she really her mother? How could she do this to her? She was a bloody nightmare! Were it not for her mother and her huge debts, she wouldn't have sold her body to old Mr. Felix Fei.

Elaine would not leave Emma alone. She glared at her and said: "I am your mother. How dare you talk back to me like this!" "Such a useless daughter!" "Can't even marry herself to a rich man!"

However, all she got was a huge slam of the door. The door was slammed close.

With Elaine gone, the room finally went quiet.

Emma sat down on the floor with her arms around her legs. She was in great agony.

She used to think that Samuel was the one. A man who she could rely on for the rest of her life. But somehow their relationship was cut

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”

Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"

ough.

"It's me, Ella. Mr. Shao is in an urgent meeting right now." Ella heard Anna's clear voice.

She was quite relieved to hear that Samuel was in a meeting. That explained why there is no one here. "Alright. I will wait for him then."

She hung up the phone and went back to the lounge to tidy up the bed.

She hung around in the office for a little bit longer and got bored eventually. Ella decided to take a walk outside. Ella clung on to her coat as the evening breeze was quite chilly.

When she walked to the front of the firm, she heard a voice: "Ms. Bo." Ella turned around and saw a man.

Everyone at the firm knew she was the wife of Mr. Shao. They seldom referred to her with her maiden name.

Ella was confused. She checked the man out and realized that she might know him. But she just could not remember where she saw him before.

Drake Shao was amused by her expression. He walked over to her and smiled warmly: "Ms. Bo, we met before in the library."

Oh! Now she remembered! He was the man who sat opposite her in the library.

"Hello!" She smiled back to him and the two walked out of the building.

"Are you on your way home?" Drake followed her as they walked towards the square of the law firm.

Ella shook her head and replied: "I am waiting for my husband." She mentioned the word "husband" on purpose.

Drake laughed and then he stared at her face with a smile: "Ms. Bo, you are so young and beautiful, it is such a pity that you are taken already."
