Sum went through his email while he had a meeting in the office.
An E-mail from Samuel got his attention.
The content was quite simple and pretty straight-forward: "If you ever dare to meet Ella again, I will prosecute you with charges of s.e.xual hara.s.sment or threatening.
Sum paused for a while and fell into a deep contemplation.
Ella was bored in the villa. While she was sleeping, a knock on the door suddenly woke her up.
Who could it be? She slowly got out of bed and opened the door in a daze.
"h.e.l.lo, Mrs. Shao; your lunch has been prepared. Do you want be to bring it here? Or, would you rather go down and eat it there?" A strange voice spoke from the woman who was asking in the door respectfully.
Ella looked at her from head to toe: "Who are you?" Ella had never seen her before now.
"Mrs. Shao, I am your new servant, Joy Liu." Joy Liu, along with another girl, were hired by Samuel.
Their job was just to clean the rooms, since there was no one left in the villa.
Servant? Ella nodded and said: "Thank you, I will have it by myself." Ella closed the door, changed her clothes and got down stairs.
Downstairs, she found a girl putting the dishes on the table.
The dishes were selected by Samuel, so Ella liked them.
After lunch, Ella surfed the internet the whole afternoon in the study.
There were too much netizens cursing at her. Ella almost couldn"t help opening a Twitter account and scold them back.
But she thought for a while, and let it go.
During the evening, the dinner was still cooked by Joy Liu. And when Ella was having dinner, Jenny called her.
Today was Ella"s birthday. When Richard asked Samuel, Ella found an excuse for him.
As she hung up up the phone, Ella felt that she had no appet.i.te anymore.
Samuel must be celebrating Emma"s birthday now... Putting down the bowl, Ella went back to the room and looked through the Twitter posts wearily.
Many people talked to her in private chatting on Twitter, so she decided to answer them one by one.
When she opened the 36th not
“Let"s go and register our marriage on your birthday!”
Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.
“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"
ording to Samuel"s given instructions. Samuel got out of the car and then parked it in the garage.
When he got out the BWM, some hand bags drew his attention.
But he didn"t think too much of it and took them to be the stuff Ella had bought yesterday.
Carrying the bags, he left the garage.
It was late. She must be asleep with all the light off.
He took out his phone and checked the time. It was already more than two o"clock in the morning.
There was an unread message from grandma. When he saw what it was, Samuel stopped walking.
Half a minute later, he put his phone back into his pocket and opened the handbags he was carrying.
The first gift was an imported ceramic water cup with some letters on it which were written in white mark pen: "Dear Ella, happy birthday to you! Love you. Mam."
Then he opened the next handbag. There was a white skirt with a letter on it: "Ella, I wish you will live a faerie happy life!" Monkey.
...
Ella"s birthday was in the same day as with Emma"s.
He walked into the villa and opened bedroom"s door. The bed was empty.
Where was Ella? The bodyguards were outside the villa. She must be here.
He went to other rooms but still he couldn"t find her.
Finally, he went to the study and pushed the door open. He saw that it was a dim light there. On the sofa, beside the computer, lay a small, familiar figure.
