Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

Chapter 165

165 Bringing Food

Before Christian could answer, Ella had already opened the door and walked in.

She felt confident when she knocked on the door. But as soon as her feet stepped into the room, she felt like she wanted to back away.

Christian was sitting behind the desk with a frown on his face. His eyes were deep, and there was a trace of anger between his brows.

Ella swallowed her throat, as soon as she got closer to the man, Christian would immediately grab her collar and teach her a lesson.

She really wanted to run away from there, but she knew that if she did, the consequences would be far more serious. So she could only continue walking on her way.

“You must be tired from working all day. I brought you food. There’s also soup to warm you up.”

Ella didn’t dare look directly at Christian. She rushed to the table and arranged the food she had brought. After that, she poured the warm soup into a small bowl.

“It’s still warm,” Ella said, bringing it to Christian.

The closer she got to Christian, the faster her heartbeat became.

.....

Why didn’t Christian say anything?

Ella wanted to see the look on Christian’s face right now, but she didn’t have the courage. She stood where she was, bowing her head.

Christian became even more disappointed when he saw Ella’s appearance.

Why would this woman look scared now? She didn’t hesitate when she hooked up with another man behind his back before.

When he thought about this, the cold aura that radiated from Christian’s body grew heavier and heavier.

Ella kept her head down as if the pressure around her was keeping her from lifting her head.

At the same time, she groaned inwardly. She shouldn’t have come there!

She knew that Christian wasn’t looking for another woman to replace her, or maybe not yet.

Since they were so close, Ella could smell Christian’s scent. She could smell the cologne that Christian used to wear, thinking that it kind of mixed with the smell of cigarettes. There wasn’t the slightest hint of a feminine scent from the man’s body.

After a long silence, Ella finally couldn’t take it anymore. She was afraid that her legs wouldn’t be strong enough to support her any longer. After wetting her lips, she said, “I already sent the food. Then, I’ll be going home first.”

She put down the bowl she was carrying and walked towards the door.

As her hand touched the doorknob, Christian finally opened his mouth.

“Who told you to leave?”

Ella immediately withdrew her hand again. So what did Christian want? While she was there, Christian refused to speak to her.

But Christian didn’t let her go either.

“Then... Do you need anything else?”

Ella tried to force a smile, lifting her head to look at Christian. When she noticed the grim expression on Christian’s face, her smile froze.

It seemed that the most appropriate choice at this time was to leave from there.

Ella’s hand rose again to grip the doorknob.

Christian looked at Ella with a deep gaze. Suddenly, he stood up and walked towards her.

Ella felt her whole body go limp. She was scared and worried.

Christian’s aura was so strong that no one could face it. And, Ella was a woman who had no power, no one to support her. She’s the woman everyone hated.

“What’s wrong...” Ella’s voice sounded nervous. She backed away and approached the door, as if wanting to merge with it.

“What do you mean?” Christian’s low voice made Ella tremble even more.

However, a smile remained on her face. “Christian, a lowly person like me wouldn’t be able to guess what you’re thinking.”

“Come here.”

Christian stood in the middle of his room with his hands in his trouser pockets and gave a cold command.

Ella’s legs immediately trembled. It took a moment for the legs to move again as Christian brushed them with a cold stare.

Ella complained inside her heart. She felt like she wanted to cry.

How dare she approach Christian when the man was angry like this.

“Christian...” Ella whispered in a low voice. “Don’t look at me with that scary look. I can’t move.”

That soft tone made Christian’s heart weaken a little.

He didn’t know what was going on. But hearing this woman’s soft voice, he couldn’t seem to control himself.

Christian stepped forward and walked toward Ella. Without further ado, he immediately hugged her.

Ella’s eyes immediately lit up. She took this opportunity to hug Christian by the neck and lean into his arms. “You are very kind indeed.”

Christian replied with a cold snort.

How much honesty came out of this woman’s mouth?

He couldn’t believe it.

“What do I mean to you?” Christian couldn’t stop himself from asking.

Ella hurriedly answered. “Christian, you are a handsome man. You are not only rich, you’re also kind. You pay attention to me. When I couldn’t walk, you would carry me.”

For some reason, that answer sounded like a lie to Christian’s ears. Christian picked up Ella and placed her in his work chair with a slight grunt.

Even though the chair was soft, Christian shouldn’t have done that.

Ella frowned, but her face returned to normal in no time. “How about you taste the cooking? I brought it especially for you.”

Christian looked at the food on the table, but he had no appetite. The beautiful woman in front of him was much tastier to eat.

After a few days of not seeing her, Christian felt that he wanted her even more.

He wanted this woman by his side.

After looking at her for a while, Christian raised his hand to hold Ella’s chin and said, “Other than Liam, is there anyone else that you’ve been with?”

Christian recalled the necklace from before. It turned out that Ella knew the man who gave her the necklace. This woman recognized him and wore the necklace he gave her.

The thought made anger well up in his heart again.

He didn’t know that this woman could seduce so many men!

“There’s no one else. I already have you. How can I seduce another man? How can I approach them?” Ella looked at Christian with an innocent look. Her eyes looked a little red as she spoke every word with a sad gaze, “What can I see in other men when I already have you? How could they be compared to you? But you won’t believe me, will you?”

Ella sighed softly and a tear rolled down her face. There was a hint of sincerity in her voice. The tears fell to the back of Christian’s hand, making him feel warm.

Christian felt his heart weaken again.

He didn’t know why, every time he saw this woman cry, his heart ached too.

Was it because this woman was his toy?

Christian let go of his hand and looked at Ella.

Seeing that what she was doing right now had an impact on Christian, Ella looked back at him with tears streaming down her face. “Don’t you believe me?”
