Trapped with a Lawyer

Ella sent Sum a message on WeChat, "Mr. Sum, I'm not feeling very well today. May I file for a leave?"

The moment Sum saw her message, he called, "What happened? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"

At Sum's concern, Ella took a deep breath and replied, "Thanks, but that would be unnecessary. I've taken some painkillers. I might feel better after some rest." A full night's sleep would be the best medicine for her.

"Fine. Get some rest and don't worry about the company." Hearing such considerate words made Ella feel warm despite her discomfort.

"Okay, I know."

"If you are feeling better tonight, would you like to come to the Fang Group anniversary party with me? I need a companion." Locking the door of his apartment, Sum headed towards the parking lot.

Attend the Fang Group anniversary party? As his companion? "I probably shouldn't... Sum, nasty rumors have been spreading in the company since I became your personal assistant..." Although Ella had always kept an appropriate distance from Sum, she still heard a lot of rumors about the both of them.

Sum grinned, "Ella, a clean hand needs no washing. Why bother yourself about this nonsense?" In truth, he would be pleased if something happened between him and Ella.

At Sum's words, Ella stopped worrying. She thought it would be awkward if she refused him and said, "Okay then."

"Okay. I'll call you when I get off work tonight. Have a good rest, and remember to call me if anything happens." His phone would be on 24/7 for her.

"Thanks, Mr. Sum." Ella gratefully replied as she lay in bed.

"Don't be so polite. We're schoolmates. Well, I should go to work now."

Ella nodded as Sum's soft voice floated by, "Drive safely."

Before she could put away her phone, it rang again as soon as the call ended.

She didn't even have the strength to open her eyes. She just wanted to sleep. Thinking it was Sum again, she slid the green button without looking at the phone, "Sum, what's the matter? Do you have something else to tell me?"
