Trapped with a Lawyer

She then saw a tall, thin man. That was Zach Hou, also known as "Monkey". Like the other guy, he was also Ella's high school classmate.

"Monkey! Where have you been all this time?! You never replied to my messages!" Ella hugged him and spoke to him in discontent.

Zach Hou cheerfully gave her a big hug: "I went to D City after our graduation. My phone was stolen when I got there, so I lost all my contacts"he explained to her.

"Well, no wonder you never replied." That explained everything.

Sum then pulled out her chair for her: "Let's sit down!" They sat in a circle around the table.

When Ella sat down, Sum sat beside her.

As the atmosphere started warming up in the room, Sum called over the waiter: "Two bottles of your best liqueur and two bottles of your best red wine, please."

It took Sum a lot of effort to reach out to their former high school and college classmates who had a good relationship with Ella for the dinner they had planned out for tonight.

Sum poured wine for the ladies and liquor for the men. "Mr. Su, we are so flattered to have at our table a CEO filling our glasses." Molly Yuan took her wine glass, and quipped.

"Don't be. Tomorrow is Ella's birthday. How about we celebrate Ella's birthday in advance, eh?" Ella didn't expect that at all. She had no idea that Sum still remembered when her birthday was.

At this time, the other four people each took out a gift and gave it to Ella: "Ella, happy birthday to you in advance!" Ella's arms were filled with gifts from her former classmates in an instant.

She was touched and almost speechless at the sight of them giving her their best wishes: "I am so happy, thank you... Thank you..." She wept as she thanked them.

Sum hurried up to help her put aside the gifts and handed over a couple of tissues to her: "You're a grown girl now. You can't just cry out like that in front of us!" It really hurt when he saw her tears.

"Yeah, Ella, you're a mother now. You can't be acting like a little girl no more."

"Don't cry moon, aren't you glad to see us?"
