Feeling dizzy, Emma rubbed her head, until what happened last night came back to her. She felt as if she saw Samuel last night. But she was not so sure.
Who was it? Emma's face turned pale when she saw what was on the desk. A check for 500, 000 USD, on which the signature read: Felix Fei.
What the hell? What did Felix take her for?
Emma clenched the check in her fist. She must get away from him, or there would be more trouble.
On six o'clock in the morning.
Ella quietly got up, washed up, and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast.
Two bowls of millet congee, two sandwiches and two heart shaped fried eggs.
She heard a slight sound coming from the bedroom. The the door opened. Samuel came out.
"Honey!" Ella trotted cheerfully towards him, and called him with delight.
Samuel felt his morning was lightened. "Morning, dear." He held Ella's head in his hands, pulled her towards him, and kissed her softly.
Ella felt really satisfied at that moment. She hoped they could be together in the rest of their life.
"Honey, breakfast is ready. Go wash up and I'll wait for you at the table."
They ate breakfast in happiness, talking and laughing, and went to the law office together.
In the meeting room.
Today was the last time to discuss with Emma's periodical office about the issues that should be noticed on court. Emma would be the plaintiff on behalf of her office.
Emma didn't make any trouble this time, so the meeting moved on smoothly.
Ella went to the tea room to refill Samuel's cup.
Outside of the meeting room, Anna was making a dinner reservation on the phone. "No red pepper please, one of the guests is allergic to red peppers. Yes. No coriander and green onion, either. That is all."
Allergic to red peppers? Who? Samuel? Though Ella never saw Samuel eat any red pepper, she never heard him talk about it.
"Anna, is Samuel allergic to red peppers?" When Anna hung up the phone, Ella asked out of curiosity.
A slight sign of awkwardness flas
“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!"
unded, and the room quieted down.
Anna walked to him immediately and briefed him what happened at noon.
At lunch, Emma started to feel bad after eating the pot shrimp. Not long after, her face broke out into a rash, and she began to notice in shock that there was red pepper in the dish.
But it was too late. Anna and Catherine quickly sent her to the hospital.
Anna ate the shrimp. It did taste spicy.
The manager walked to Samuel, stood in front of him and spoke to him mannerly, "Mr Shao, we have cooperated with your law firm for a long time and never made mistakes before. I can also assure you this time that there is not the slightest amount of red pepper in the pot shrimp."
The monitoring record was brought up too. No sign of red pepper was seen in the video.
That was very strange. Catherine suddenly asked, "Was that done by someone on purpose? Where is Ella Bo? Why is she not here?"
Samuel frowned at her words. Why was Catherine always against Ella? Ella was with her a few days ago. She must have been greatly wronged.
"Miss Gu, watch your mouth. You have no evidence. Ella doesn't even know Emma was allergic to red peppers." How could she possibly do anything to the food?
Right then, Anna spoke up with hesitation, "Mr Shao, Mrs. Shao knew that…"
Her words made the whole ward quiet down.
