"How about that? Are you scared?" Ella smiled and looked at Samuel who maintained a stolid expression. 'Wow, he is pretending to be calm', Ella thought.
Samuel looked at the super spicy hotpot and laughed. He asked the waiter, "Please bring the double-flavour hotpot for us, one flavour, the soup base to be mushroom plain broth, the other, super spicy broth."
Ella had ordered other side dishes to accompany their soup, so Samuel just requested for the soup dishes.
When the dishes was served, the plain soup was placed in front of Ella and the spicy soup, in front of Samuel. Ella 's expression turned grim with disappointment.
"Samuel, you are mistaken. I want the spicy soup too."
Spicy soup was necessary for the hotpot because it must have chilli.
Samuel handed Ella a bottle of juice and said, "You haven't recovered yet so you can't eat spicy food."
Ella couldn't argue because he was right. Ella looked at the spicy soup base and started to drool.
"Samuel, if you can't eat spicy food, you can just eat the mushroom soup with me. Don't push yourself, " Ella said. All the men Ella has met couldn't eat spicy food, so she thought it was the same case for Samuel.
Samuel took a sip of juice and smiled at her, "Don't worry about me."
"Samuel, don't eat the hotpot if you can't handle the heat." Ella was worried that he would be choking and in tears because of the chilli. Moreover he might upset his stomach.
"Call me Sam." Samuel didn't answer her question and his voice expressed resistance.
Ella glared at him, confused by how quickly the topic was changed. Finally, she nodded.
Soon after, they began eating.
Samuel took some cooked vegetables from the mushroom pot and put in Ella's bowl.
When Ella saw Samuel eating the spicy food calmly, Ella felt that the vegetables in her bowl were as tasteless as wax.
Was he trying to impress me?
After a while, it was clear that Samuel could handle the spiciness.
"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"
When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.
Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune…
Samuel was flirting with her and pinched his leg, "No. Not all."
"Not all? Where am I not skilful?" Samuel switched on the car lamp and pulled over.
In confusion, Ella watched as Samuel unfastened his seat belt and moved closer to her. "Come here, let me remind you how skilful I can be."
"What are you doing? Drive. Let's go home…" Ella was speechless and wondered why he was talking like that.
Samuel ignored her warnings. He opened the door and gestured her to the backseat.
……
Oh no! She had questioned his abilities. Did he want to remind her here and now?
"No, no, Sam. It's so cold, let's go home then you can remind me all you want."
Samuel bit her neck and said, "Okay".
Ella felt lucky then, but Samuel's words stopped her smile. "Here first, then at home."
……
"No, no, Sam, we are on the street…" Ella grasped his coat tightly. However, her resistance was futile because she had aroused him.
If Samuel was aroused enough, he could do it in a crowded shopping mall, not to mention on a quiet street.
It was one o' clock in the morning when an Audi A8 stopped in front of a villa. Ella emerged from the car, wearing a coat.
Her legs were so weak that she needed to hold the car door for support. Seconds later, she was enveloped by a warm hug.
