Chapter 80
80 One Pot of Tea
“Then when can I pay it all off if you give me that price!”
“Depends on my mood later,” Christian left with that one sentence. He let go of her hand that was holding Ella and got out of the pantry.
Meanwhile, Ella just stood still inside. She turned and saw the hot water was already boiling. Suddenly, her lips curved into a smile.
She made tea for Christian in a happy mood.
With this coffee bean debt, she and Christian could be together more often. Maybe with this, she could get closer to Christian.
All this thanks to Laras. If that woman wasn’t mean towards her, Ella wouldn’t get a chance!
If later it turns out that Ella has accomplished her goal and wants to leave Christian, she will reconsider and find another way to pay off her debt.
It was a matter of time...
What was important now was that she could live in peace.
.....
She transferred the hot water into the teapot and her body was much calmer when she smelled the tea.
Maybe Laras is smiling happily in her room now. Ella felt that she would not be satisfied if she did not seek trouble with the woman...
...
In the secretarial room, Laras felt much happier when she thought about the bottle of coffee beans.
She’s been in this company for years. Of course she understood how much the coffee beans cost. That stupid woman must be scared to death because of the price of the coffee beans now!
While thinking about it, Laras laughed like a fool.
All the secretaries around her looked at her in surprise and teased her, “Sis Laras, what made you so happy today? Did something happen? Did Mr. CEO invite you to eat together?”
Several people looked at her and blinked, making Laras blush. She waved her hand. “What are you talking about!”
Even though she was disappointed that what those people said didn’t happen, she still felt good about it.
Who doesn’t want to hook up with Christian? The man was so extraordinary, literally standing on top of the world. Everyone not only admires him, but also wants to be with him.
As the group of secretaries were laughing and making a fuss, they were startled by the sound of the door opening. Some thought that the person who had entered was Christian so they immediately returned to their seats in fright. As they quietly raised their heads to take a peek at who was coming, they frowned upon realizing that the person who had entered was a woman they didn’t know.
Ella was holding a teapot, with a smile on her face.
“Did I scare you guys?”
Several people’s eyes were fixed on her.
They had all seen the people around Christian, but they had never seen a woman this beautiful. They had a hard time taking their attention away from Ella.
That woman not only had a beautiful face and body, but also emitted an aura that made it hard for everyone to ignore her.
She was really beautiful. Her attitude wasn’t too much. The combination of the two created a perfection in the woman they did not know.
Laras was the first to react. Her eyes seemed to be mixed with anger.
She always thought that she could control herself very well. But this time, she couldn’t calm down.
According to her understanding of Christian, Laras knew that the man was very interested in this woman.
Ella could notice every expression in the room, as well as their reactions.
She knew very well that Laras thought of her as a thorn in her flesh.
The expression on Laras’ face looked like a dragon about to spit fire.
“Miss, this is the secretary’s room. Are you lost?”
One of the secretaries in the room spoke up. Apart from them, only Christian can enter the secretarial room.
Ella shook her head. “I’m not in the wrong place. I came looking for Laras.”
She looked very friendly now, making everyone feel comfortable around her.
“Looking for Sis Laras?” The secretary who had just spoken turned her gaze towards Laras.
Laras tried to suppress the discomfort in her heart and looked at Ella. “Do you need help from me?”
As a chief secretary, Ella knew that everyone in this room thought of Laras as someone of great ability and very good nature. But Ella had never felt it since the first time she met Laras.
She knew that Laras hid something under her sweet smile and that all these people had been deceived.
Ella raised the teapot in her hand and walked to Laras side. She looked at Laras who was still sitting in her chair. “I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Isabella Maheswara.”‘
Her words made Laras face look unsightly, but she hid it quickly. “Miss, nice to meet you.”
Laras stretched out her hand while saying it, as if trying to show her politeness.
But Ella just looked at the outstretched hand, then averted her gaze. She wasn’t an employee here and she didn’t have to pretend to be nice in front of all these people.
“I came to send special tea for you,” Ella said as she put the teapot she was carrying beside Laras’ place. A sweet smile appeared on her face. “You’ve helped me a lot. So I came to thank you in person.”
Laras looked at the teapot in front of her with a frown. She would never drink this tea. Who knows what’s inside. Could it be that this woman put poison in it?
“No need.”
She pushed the teapot in front of Ella and raised her head, seeing the very beautiful woman in front of her. “Thank you for your kindness.”
“Secretary Laras, are you underestimating me?”
Ella’s lips revealed a smile. “Christian went to the pantry and asked me what happened to the coffee beans. I told the truth and Christian told me to make this tea for you.”
She took a deep breath. “I didn’t do anything, but I still take responsibility for someone else’s mistake.”
Laras did not expect this woman to have the courage to tell Christian about their encounter. But what made Laras happy was that the man mustn’t have cared about Ella.
After her heart felt much more relieved, a confident smile appeared on her lips. “If you want to apologize, of course you have to do it sincerely.”
Laras’ gaze was fixed on the purple teapot. “At the very least, you should pour the tea for me and give it to me.”
A confident smile crossed her face.
