President's Naughty Sweetheart

Chapter 36: The Way to Express Care

The familiar man's voice caused Ella's heartbeat to speed up dramatically. She said tremblingly, "How could I be here?"

She was in this bedroom the last time she was ill. 'It must be the home of Aiden. I once guessed the villa belongs to a rich woman.' Ella thought.

Aiden stood up from the sofa, walked in front of her in a handsome suit, and dimmed the lamp that was shining on her face. From this angle, Ella could clearly see his perfect and fascinating facial contours.

His icy black eyes were as deep as abyss, gazing at her gloomily. Then he said, "Ella, what happened last night? You'd better be honest and tell me the truth, otherwise I will send someone to investigate!"

'If he didn't timely help Ella last night, Ella would absolutely be raped by a goat!' Aiden frowned.

Miles called him early in the morning and told him that the two men had confessed the man behind it.

Miles searched the man's information and told Aiden that the manipulator was a manager of a corporation.

Ella looked at his dark eyes, feeling terrible because of the hangover and nausea since she didn't eat breakfast.

"May I have something to eat first?" she asked with great care.

Looking at her little and pale face, Aiden had to make a compromission to agree her request, "Washed up before going downstairs for breakfast."

Seeing him leave the bedroom and close the door, Ella finally relieved from huge nervousness, however she screamed out the moment she opened the quit and found she was naked.

Aiden stopped going downstairs the moment he heard Ella's scream and figured out the reason. With a slight smile, he commented, "Fool woman."

In the bedroom Ella blushingly rushed into the bathroom with her clothes, quickly closed the door and looked around to make sure both the window door was closed tightly, then she began to wear clothes.

'Aiden made me too nervous!' Ella said to herself as dressing clothes, "His face is too attractive." 'It should blame to his charm that I didn't realize I was wearing nothing because the only thing I could notice that moment was his handsome face.'

'I was so stupid!'

When Ella went downstairs, Aiden sat on the opposite side of her seat, gracefully slicing bacon, eating without making any noise, behaving like a nobleman."

After Ella sat down, Aiden motioned the housekeeper to leave with his eyes, then the latter half bowed to him and left the lavish dining hall with smile.

"Ella, what happened last night? I'm waiting for your explanation." He continued to eat and glanced at her calmly.

"When I came home last night, I temporarily received an overtime notice from Leo, leader of the design department. She said she and two other designers were talking business with clients and asked me for help. I didn't realize her real intention was to ask me to drink with the clients until I came here. Both I and the two other designers were drinking quite a lot, and someone I didn't know gave me a bottle of wine, after drinking it, I became severely drunk and quickly fell asleep. It was when you found me that I waked up.

At this moment Ella still felt afraid, she recalled Sofia's caution that Leo would possibly asked young female staff to drink with clients, because she had been talking business with a ghost.

'I didn't expect she really did such a horrible thing!'

Glancing at Ella with his deep black eyes, Aiden unabashedly reproached, "Ella, are you stupid? Don't you know refuse her request and directly go home on such an occasion?"

Ella sighed, "I want to, too! But Leo is one of the chief designers of the design department, also my nominal leader! Last night two other female designers were also drinking, I couldn't just watch and do nothing, so I decided to drink with them." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Too stupid!" Aiden summed it up in a concise way, even not bothering to take a glance at her, and continued to eat breakfast, his handsome face still grim.

She wanted to defend herself, but suddenly she realized that Aiden was right.

'Why didn't I refuse last night?'

'I could make excuses, such as being ill or not feeling well, or pretending to be asleep and not getting the call from Leo.'

Ella concluded that it mainly resulted from her lack of experience of dealing with things like it.

When she was in the previous company, she had never got into such a trouble. Because Hunter, the boss, who was an overseas returnee, completely disliked the domestic business atmosphere like forcing people to drink, he only accepted orders with only request of high design quality. If the clients compel the staff to drink with them, Hunter would directly refuse the order.

Last night was the first time for Ella to handle such a problem.

After all, Ella did not want to offend Leo, for the latter has been in the company for ten years.

And she subconsciously thought that, Leo, as the chief designer of design department, should protect her and two other female designers in work place, even if in such a dangerous situation like last night.

But it was too late for her to realize something turned wrong.

Ella was speculating whether the wine she drank last night was added some knockout drops to make her unconscious.

Five minutes later, Aiden finished his breakfast and took a glance at her.

He picked up a checked napkin and wiped his mouth, then found Ella was staring down at her meal and eating absent-mindedly.

Aiden softened his tone with a slight sigh, "The design department is usually under management of Daniel, but Leo really disgrace the corporate image of the Hill Group! I will take Daniel to deal with this matter. To be honest, I impossibly deal with all things happened in this corporation for the size of the Hill Group is giant. When I can't help you timely, you should be careful about everything yourself! If you meet such things again in the future, no matter who requires you, just say no. Understand?"

His words inconceivably warmed and moved Ella's heart.

She even thought it was a way for Aiden to care about her.

A hint of delight flashed across Ella's mouth, though she did not know why she felt delighted. She only knew that when she said "I understand", she involuntarily showed her coquetry to him.

Aiden stood up and left his seat, and as he walked past her, he said to Ella, "Come out if you finish your breakfast."

"Yes." Ella responded with blush, and her voice sounded like a kitten.

Her submissiveness at this moment made Aiden quite satisfied.

Ten minutes later, Ella sat on his Maybach.

After twenty minutes' drive from the villa, the car stopped at a red light.

Aiden looked sideways at Ella, and commanded in his usual way, "Pack your luggage when you get back home from work tonight. I'll send my driver to pick you up, and you can stay at my place for the next three months."

Ella amazingly look at his dark eyes, 'It could be considered as cohabitation even for three months!'

"Well, it's not appropriate." Ella didn't refuse directly, but her tone was enough to indicate her unwillingness.

"Ella, never think we are equal, even though I am polite to you. It's an order, not negotiation. You will move to my place tonight! I don't want to bother texting you, so, if we live together, it is easier for us to meet each other." He turned sideways to hold the wheel. Soon the light turned green, and the car continued to move.

He made his intention clear, but Ella did not know how to react at this moment.

After the conversation during breakfast at the villa, she had to admit that her feelings for him changed subtly.

Although she still rejected being his underground lover, she could have reason to start convincing herself that since she couldn't resist, she could only agree.

When Ella felt her own psychological change, her whole heart suddenly became extremely uneasy, 'how can she fall to such an extent!'

She took a deep breath and gazed at Aiden, rejecting directly, "No! I can't live with you! I'm not divorced yet!"
