Talking About Yourself

"Very good. Bosses are never that kind to women."

Jason was surprised when he saw Ella who was annoyed with her answer. Why is Ella upset?

He just answered all the questions honestly.

It is true that Ella is beautiful although not gentle. Jason didn't know if Ella could cook or not because he had only met her a few times.

And the boss also treats Ella very well.

Shouldn't Ella be happy about all that?

Ella let go of Jason's hand and thought hard. Apparently, that woman was in the same situation as him.

He didn't know if she was a good woman or not.

He only knew that she wasn't gentle. Jason didn't know if she could cook or not, but if it was to satisfy Christian, she could do anything.

And most importantly, Christian treats her very well.

Ella took a deep breath while holding her hands. He thought very hard.

Turns out she wasn't the only woman Christian had.

Jason put the breakfast he had brought on the table. After looking at Ella in confusion, he immediately left.

...

On the other hand, Christian rushes back to the company after dropping off his son to the house he owns in the city.

It's not that he wants to get to work right away or that there's a lot of work he hasn't done yet. He rushed back to the office because he wanted to immediately meet with Ella.

Christian, who is driving, subconsciously steps on the gas deeper so he can get to his office faster. He frowned as he thought about how to tie this woman by his side for a long time.

He knew that his attraction to this woman was too strong and would not go away easily.

He wanted this woman to be by his side for a long time.

It didn't take long, he arrived at the company. And when he opened the door to his room, he saw Ella sitting quietly, looking at the breakfast that was served in front of her with a dreamy gaze.

There are various kinds of food in front of him, from western, Chinese, Indonesian and Japanese food. But Ella didn't touch him one bit.

"No appetite?" asked Christian.

Realizing that Christian is back, Ella immediately flashes a faint smile. "I'm waiting for you." Those two words made Christian's body stiffen.

He stopped walking and looked at Ella intently.

Even his son never said anything like waiting for him to eat together. This woman in front of him was the first.

Christian nods and then walks over to the table and sits down next to Ella. "Next time, you won't have to wait for me."

"Not. I'll still be waiting for you next time," Ella said spoiled. Ella took some food and took it to microwave provided in the room to warm it up. After that, he gave it to Christian like an offering.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Ella asked. It's just small talk. Christian must not have eaten. How could he possibly eat when he came back so soon?

Ella wishes Christian would have breakfast with her. He wanted to take this opportunity to find out about his rival.

Christian did not refuse. Even though he wasn't used to eating food that was warmed up like this, he still accepted it and ate it. As long as he can eat with Ella.

Ella just stared at Christian without moving. When Christian looks at her, Ella looks down and uses her fork to stab a pancake.

He popped the pancake in his mouth carelessly, filling his mouth as if to refrain from asking too many questions.

"Hungry?" Christian asks softly.

Ella just kept quiet and continued to eat her food. He thought for a moment and finally asked. "Do you have any very beautiful female acquaintances?"

After asking that, Ella felt stupid.

How could there be ugly women around Christian.

Christian is surrounded by important people, high class people and famous people. Of course all the women around him were very beautiful.

Ella bit her lip and continued asking. "Not a gentle woman, but you are very good to her."

After asking this, Ella watches Christian's face carefully.

With contracts and agreements that state that Christian will protect her, Ella doesn't have to be afraid that Christian will do something to her. If Christian gets angry, he can talk him back after that happens.

No matter what happened, Ella had to find out.

Christian looks confused and then pouts when he hears the question.

After that, he threw the question back. "Are you talking about yourself?"

Christian doesn't have much to do with women. In a way, Ella is the only woman who fits that description.

The only woman who is beautiful, but not gentle.

The only woman he treats well.

The only woman beside him.

"I?"

Ella pointed at herself with an innocent look. After that, his expression showed as if he had realized something.

Was Jason fooling him just now?

At the sight of this innocent and stupid Ella, Christian smiles. He was in love with this woman. He picked her up and carried her into his lap.

"Why are you asking all this?"

He used his hand to hold Ella's chin. The touch was so gentle. Christian doesn't want to stop there and wants to kiss her, but he also wants to hear Ella's answer.

Ella hugs Christian's neck and puts on a frown. "I feel worried. I'm afraid one day you won't want me anymore. After all, around you there are so many beautiful women. I think I have to work harder. I'm self-conscious..."

Christian nods in agreement. "How do you work hard?"

The question gave Ella a hard time. Finally, he takes the fork from Christian's hand, takes the waffle and brings it to Christian's mouth. "Try this one."

Ella uses this method to distract Christian. Christian knows it, but he doesn't mind. In fact, Ella's innocent behavior made him chuckle.

"So cute..." Maybe Christian said it subconsciously. Maybe those words should only be expressed in the heart.

But the words left Christian's lips in a very low voice, lower than a whisper.

Ella lowers her head in shame, unfamiliar with Christian's compliments.

Christian lowered his head too and from between his clothes he could see the softness of Ella's body. In addition, he also saw red marks all over his body…

When he thought back on the five people who hurt Ella yesterday, he felt that the punishment they received was too light.

Those men dared to touch the woman!

Ella was confused by Christian's rapid change in emotions. He watches Christian take the ointment and undress Ella, carefully applying the medicine to the wounds on Ella's body.

Ella could only watch all of this with her heart beating even faster.
