Trapped with a Lawyer

As she stood up, Emma overheard Ella Bo asking Samuel :''Did you hear what I spoke to Lola last evening?" She did not know what she had said yesterday until she asked Lola again.

Recalling what she "backbit" on him yesterday, Samuel nodded with smile.

Ella Bo flushed and felt a little more at ease. However, she felt glad that she didn't have to hide some of her feelings anymore.

She stood up from the couch, walked straight to Emma, pointed at Emma's nose tip and said to her: "Stop playing innocent. Haven't you recognized your position yet?"

What she said did not make Emma feel any more pain. But the big diamond ring put on Ella Bo's finger was, indeed, a pain in her eyes.

At the first sight of the ring, which was a gift from Samuel to Ella, Emma could not restrain her tears any longer.

She did not mean to cry this time.

"Why are you crying? Did I bully you?" Ella Bo looked domineering right then. It seemed that, indeed, she was bullying Emma.

On seeing this, Anna discreetly left the office.

And Samuel eyed Ella Bo, half angry and half laughing. He sighed and stood up. "Enough, it's only lunch and, after all, why bother so much with this?"

Both ladies did not know to whom he talked to. But, in their eyes, he was talking to himself.

"Samuel, it's true, I am your ex. But how can you allow her to humiliate me like this?" Emma took a tissue out of her bag and wiped out her tears. Her eyes were red.

Humiliate her? Ella Bo sneered. Who the hell was Emma? The director in the head office of the Changyue International Magazine Company!

Ella Bo had made her inquires on Emma. Emma was an iron woman at work and was also particularly strong in her character.

How could Ella Bo manage to humiliate an iron woman like her?
