Trapped with the CEO

Ella was startled. She thought of her discomfort and blushed instantly. "Get out, get out, what are you doing in here?"

"Didn't you just call me? Have you already forgotten?" Leaning against the bathroom door, Samuel looked at her longingly and responded in his natural voice.

She didn't say anything. After an awkward two minutes of silence, Ella finally spoke,"I need you to buy me something, will you?"

Samuel didn't say anything but looked at her doubtfully.

Ella spoke softly,"Tampons?"

They made eye contact, an awkward moment settling between them.

Ella witnessed Samuel's good looks becoming momentarily darker.

"Er..."

'Would he deliberately take the opportunity not to buy them and tease her?' she wondered, 'Is he unwilling to run errands for her?'

"Beg me to help you." Samuel looked at Ella triumphantly. Ella's facial expression changed and became darker.

Ella's beautiful eyes looked at Samuel in anger. If given the chance, she would burn him alive.

Grinding her teeth, she said,"Don't dream of taking advantage of me!"

Samuel did not say anything. He closed the bathroom door and pretended to leave. Ella was stunned by his action.

The bedroom was quiet for a few minutes. Ella shouted,"Well, you win then. I beg you to help me, please!"

Standing behind the bathroom door, Samuel smiled,"Okay. I'll be back!"

Ella was speechless. Samuel walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

'That damn bastard!' she thought. "Bastard!" she voiced out her thoughts.

In the mean time, Ella waited until she almost fell asleep where she sat. Then she heard someone outside the door.

The bathroom door opened and a black tote bag was handed to her.

She opened the bag. It contained several packets of tampons. They were her favorite tampon brands. She looked at Samuel as he closed the door, in surprise. 'Was it a coincidence? How did he know the brands she used?' she wondered.

There were also two pairs of underwear placed underneath the tampons. Ella was so touched by his kindness that her eyes became wet.

If this had happened four years ago, she would have rushed into his arms and told him she loved him.

But now times had changed and e

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

before the conversation turned to Samuel,"Melody, where's your grandson and great-grandson? Why haven't we seen them for so long? When will they show up?" The questions were from Melody's former colleague. They were on good terms.

Melody laughed even more at the mention of grandchildren and great-grandchildren,"Samuel took Jerry out early today. I reckon they'll be here soon."

The former colleague asked the old lady cautiously,"Will your Samuel bring his fiancee here today?" As a public figure, Samuel was engaged again, and many people knew that.

Melody was upset at the thought that Samuel would bring Catherine to the occasion but she did not show it. "Samuel is a grown up and we are getting old. I won't interfere in his own affairs, but my Jerry's mother will also be here today." Melody smiled when she said that.

"Is Jerry's mother, Ella? Is she the hot model?" A young girl standing by suddenly cut in rudely.

Melody smiled and looked over. She remembered the girl was her cousin's granddaughter,"Yeah, she's a star. It's her job. In private, she is still my grandson's wife!"

This made Viola's smile untenable.

When Ella left, Emma, the uninspiring girl, had said that she didn't like Samuel anymore.

Viola was particularly angry when she thought about it.

"Grandson's wife? Grandma, aren't they divorced?" Drake heard Melody speaking as soon as he entered the room.

Emma, who was holding his arm, greeted Viola with an awkward nod.
