Trapped with a Lawyer

If Samuel behaved himself, she wouldn't be angry, and she would certainly drink less.

If he did not, alcohol would be a necessity. She needed to use alcohol to numb herself at times.

The man opposite her didn't think that way. Her saying that "We will see" meant to him that it depended on the situation at that moment.

"If you don't behave, I will still do the things that I have told you i will do."

Huh? The woman looked at him at a loss and felt confused. He had threatened to do numerous things and Ella didn't know what he was referring to now.

"I will end your career in the entertainment industry." He warned, with no hint of joking in his eyes.

...

"I..."

"Ella!" Another voice interrupted and broke the tension between them.

Thanks to Samuel, she hadn't even worn a mask or glasses before leaving the apartment. It wasn't surprising that someone would recognise her. But the voice sounded so familiar.

When they looked up, Ella's eyes widened while Samuel's became darker.

"Sum!" What a coincidence! Ella stood up from the chair excitedly at the sight of her old friend. It's a small world indeed.

Ella and Sum happily hugged, and Samuel and Sum simply shook hands.

"I've been in America for two years." Sum smiled and explained to her.

From Sum's smile, Ella saw a different person. His smile was bright and his body radiated joy and calmness.

Samuel held Ella's hand which was on the table. She couldn't help looking at him, and found his eyes glistening with displeasure.

Ella took back her hand and smiled at Sum, "I've been here for two years also."
