"Hi, nice to meet you." Ella tries to act like a friendly person. She doesn't have many friends except for Suzy, she lives a closed life so she communicates badly while talking.
"Ella, how did you meet my brother?" Rika asked, blinking excitedly.
"We ran into each other in the hospital. After that, we kept in touch until we decided to get married later." This is true, Ella didn't lie.
Rika was dumbfounded when she heard what Ella said. The story of Ella and David's meeting was too bland. How did they decide to get married when there was no romance between them?
"It's strange. My brother is dry and rigid, what is attractive about him? Handsome or rich?" Rika asked and looked at Ella's reaction.
"He's very good, knows how to help others." Ella said what she had in mind. Even though the two of them are just contracted husband and wife, she is still grateful to David for saving her father. This is a partnership where both sides benefit. Even though he's in the same room, he doesn't touch her, which proves he's a good man.
Rika is surprised to learn that Ella is not marrying her brother because he is handsome or rich. Rika didn't look at the wrong person.
Sophie who was standing behind Rika, hearing what Ella said, she thought. 'How can Ella be a greedy girl like Mrs. Emma?' She is wondering, should she continue investigating Ella?
“So what do you do in my brother's company? What university did you go to?" Rika continued to ask.
“I am an employee of the marketing department. I graduated with a master's degree from MIT, majoring in business administration, four years ago."
Suddenly there was silence in the living room. Rika was shocked to hear Ella speak.
Everyone knows that MIT is a prestigious and famous university. To get into MIT, one has to be rich, brilliant, or lucky. How can a poor person like Ella get into the top university in the country?
"How old are you?"
"I am 25 years old."
Rika couldn't help but let out a surprised voice. “So you graduated with a master's degree at just 21 years old. You are really good.”
Mrs. Emma couldn't help but admit that Ella did well enough to graduate with a master's degree at MIT. But she is still not satisfied with Ella's background.
“I also study like everyone else. But most of the time I usually go to work to cover expenses.” Ella smiled wryly as Rika praised her for being good.
"You are truly humble. That's what one needs. David was right to love you.” Mr. Harry said, looking pleased.
David walked toward Ella and smiled at her. "Honey, it's late. Let's go to the bedroom."
"Okay." Ella stood up from the sofa and held David's hand.
"Please, everyone." David said politely before they went up the stairs.
David put his arm around Ella's waist, pulling her close to him when he saw some of the maids cleaning the handrails of the stairs.
Ella cooperated with him, smiling lovingly.
The next day, Rika overhears a conversation between her mother and Sophie.
"Let's install a camera in David's bedroom." It was the voice of Mrs. Emma.
Sophie was surprised. "You don't believe David?"
“I feel like something is wrong. Think about it, when we discussed marriage before, David was shy and didn't want to listen. But today suddenly he brought a strange girl home and said it was his wife. Why is this so sudden? I need to make sure Ella is a nice girl. Who knew she'd seduce David and take the Anthony estate." Mrs. Emma reasoned with doubts in her mind.
Sophie doesn't think so. She speaks. “Maybe David really loves Ella and so does Ella. Maybe David is too busy to introduce Ella to us.”
“To confirm that for sure, I had to install a camera in David's room. I want to know what the two of them do. Maybe David is cheating on us because we forced him to get married. In short, I need to know the truth.” Mrs. Emma spoke firmly.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Sophie entered David's bedroom and installed the camera in a hidden place, a place that David did not detect.
That same afternoon, when David and Ella got home together, Rika pulled her brother's hand to a corner.
“Mom installed a camera in your bedroom because she suspects you and Ella… um… something is wrong. Although I don't know what happened between the two of you, it is an invasion of personal privacy. I feel really unhappy.” Rika said with exasperation.
"I know. Thank you for the reminder." David frowned.
As usual, after dinner, David and Ella went upstairs to their bedroom.
David looked around the room but couldn't see where the camera was. He pulled Ella's hand out onto the balcony.
“My mother installed a camera in the room.”
"What?" Ella exclaimed in surprise. “Your mother knows we… pretend?”
"I'm not sure but she doubts."
“What must we do now?”
“There is only one way…we have to sleep in the same bed.”
Ella jumped. "Are you crazy? How is this possible? I… before I didn't even hold hands of the opposite sex… how could I… sleep with you.”
David is awkward. “I also never had close contact with girls, I only slept with the one I loved. But in this situation, I have no other choice.”
Seeing Ella hesitate, he lowered his voice to reassure her. "You do not worry. We just lay next to each other… um… let them think we're really husband and wife. I will not do anything over the limit. I swear." David held up three fingers.
Looking into his steadfast eyes, Ella somehow believed her and she nodded.
David went to the bathroom to change his shirt into a luxurious bathrobe. Then he went out. Seeing that Ella still hadn't seen her nightgown, he hugged her waist and whispered in her ear. "You change your nightgown quickly, we must not let them suspect." David continued to act as he kissed Ella on the cheek.
Ella frowned slightly before entering the changing room. This man really made her heart go crazy. In the process of growing up until now, she has never kissed anyone, how can she sleep in the same bed with a man?
Ella changed into a pink two-piece nightgown, with a cape over it, then she walked out of the changing room.
The lighting in the bedroom is quite dim and feels romantic. David turned on the radio, and a melodious song played. He is sitting on the bed, reading a book. Seeing Ella, he raised his head and was dumbfounded. Ella looks sexier and sexier, but she also has big clear eyes, the combination of purity and charm is a deadly attraction for every man.
David is afraid that he won't be able to control himself if he keeps thinking about it. He could only turn his face away.
Ella took a deep breath and climbed into bed, crawling into David's blankets and resting her hands on his stomach. She smiled as she looked at his face.
David was amazed to see Ella's boldness. Since he had said before that he wouldn't do anything off-limits, Ella believed him. Unable to hold back, he bent down to find her lips.
When David's lips touched hers, she jerked back a little. Seeing Ella's reaction, he understood that this was her first time. So he softened, continuing to kiss her deeply on the lips. She finally received her first kiss from David. They kissed passionately until he reached out to turn off the light. The light in the room went out. And they slept hugging each other.
The next morning, Ella woke up to a bright ray of sunlight from the balcony shining into her eyes.She turned her head to look to the left, the pillow was empty. She suddenly remembered that today was Sunday, the staff was off, but David had an important client meeting so he went to work early in the morning.Ella got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Naughty in the water, she brought her hand to her lips. David's kiss was still lingering around her lips.After showering, Ella sat on the bed texting David. 'Today is off, what should I do?'After a while, the phone screen lit up. David sent a reply message. 'Please do what you want.'She replied immediately. “Okay.”She picked up her bag and walked out of the room. She had just left, Sophie opened the door and removed the camera, and went to Mrs. Emma. She opened it and with Mrs. Emma pinched her head to watch.After watching the video, Mrs. Emma and Sophie looked at each other.“They actually slept together. That means they truly l
Ella to the largest luxury shopping center in the city. She walked around the mall. Her eyes blinked when she saw a price list at a clothing stall. Most of the items here cost more than five hundred dollars. She looked regretfully. She's not a fancy dress girl, so she just buys some cheap clothes. She just wears what she can afford and is comfortable with. Style doesn't matter to her. She did not forget to buy apple pie for Mr. Harry.At checkout, Ella had no change. She struggled to find change in her wallet. The people behind her urging her on made her even more confused.Suddenly, a hand landed on the counter at the cashier with a change of bills accompanied by a voice. "I pay for her."Ella turned her head to look. The one who helps her is Raymond.Leaving the counter, Ella said in an appreciative voice. "Thank you. It's too embarrassing to let you help me.""Nothing. We're colleagues after all." Raymond said with a smile on his lips."Yes."A reporter saw them and took a picture
After having dinner with the whole family, David and Ella asked permission to go back to their room.She sat on the sofa watching him do his work at the table. Then she opened the phone and made a schedule. Although she is David's secretary, her work is not much, she has a lot of free time, so she wants to do something to be active, such as learning to cook, learning the piano, practicing yoga or aerobics…David raised his head, his eyebrows raised when he saw Ella seem very focused on the phone. he asked softly. “What are you going to do, Ella?”Ella put the phone down on the table. “I need to do something for tomorrow. I need to exercise, my brain will go numb if I don't do anything every day." She spoke nonchalantly and reached for a document on David's desk.“Um.” David continues to work, he focuses on computers. Ella walked over and sat across from him.“Stop worrying. I will make a good wife who can be your support in the future.” Ella opened the document, going through the page
“Missing lady, you shouldn't do this kind of work. If Mr. Harry, I'll be in trouble." A maid said as she saw Ella stirring eggs in a bowl."It's okay, I can do it." Ella said, while the maid arranged the dishes and decorated the plates with salad.Ella made egg-fried rice for her and David. She garnished the rice with chili, carrots, sausage, and onions. She arranged it beautifully.With the other members, she makes hot dog toast with a recipe she made up herself. She put all the dishes on the table, just as everyone entered the dining room one by one.All the maids bowed in unison to them.As usual, Mr. Harry sat in the middle of the table. A maid who was also his close servant whispered something in his ear. After listening, Mr. Harry nodded, smiling at Ella. “Is it because you cooked breakfast?”“I only cooked a few dishes for me and David, because I don't know your tastes.” Ella politely replied.“Today I want to try the food you made.” Mr. Harry took a piece of hot dog and popped
At David's corporate building, he is busy with files and documents that need his signature.The phone screen suddenly lit up with a beep sound. He glanced over and picked it up. He reached out and stroked a straight line. Message from Maria. 'I'll be back tomorrow, nine in the morning. You remember to pick me up at the airport.'He exhaled and replied. 'Ok.'David continues to work but he is not focused. He thought of Ella and called her, but she didn't pick up. Because Ella's phone was in her bag while she was learning Samba dancing.So, David texted Ella. 'What are you doing?'Ella didn't know the phone was ringing and there was a message. She practiced hard. At five o'clock in the afternoon, she and Rika stopped practicing. They took a taxi back to the villa before dinner time at six o'clock.When she took her phone out of her bag, Ella realized that there were two missed calls and a text message from David.She dialed David's number.With just one ring, David answered the phone an
The next morning, when Ella woke up, David had already left the room. Maybe he's exercising or jogging around, as usual, she thought, taking her clothes to the bathroom.Today she made spaghetti and lemon tart for dessert. She learns from manuals and youtube clips.When Mr. Harry eats Spaghetti, his eyes light up. "It's delicious. Who did you make this from?”“I studied by myself, no one taught me. Once I made a living selling Spaghetti.” Ella replied in a nonchalant voice."Good. Hard-working. You are such a great role model for a wife.” Mr. Harry commented.“Now you don't sell these things anymore because you are married into a rich family. You must be very happy, aren't you?" Mrs. Emma said sarcastically while buttering the bread.Ella lowered her head, her hand stopped in midair.David, sitting next to him, spoke up. “She never took money from her husband, she always used the money she earned to shop. I hope you don't say things like that."“How do you know if she will use you in
Key stopped the car in front of the airport's entrance. There was a group of people screaming at the door, mostly teenagers. They took their phone to take pictures, and one of them took a video of what was happening inside the airport.Key pushed his way through the crowd to take a look. A girl in a pink off-the-shoulder dress with polka dots. Curly hair falls down her back. Her beautiful face and charming smile melt the hearts of many passionate boys. Her smooth, gentle movements make everyone fall in love.She is Maria. She walked in a leisurely manner. Her head held high, smug.Key stood in a corner to watch and shook his head. He had never felt fond of this girl. If David hadn't asked him to pick up Maria, he would probably be on a date with someone he likes by now. The more Key looked at Maria's arrogant attitude, the more depressed Key became, sighing.But this girl was the one his master ordered to pick up, he couldn't refuse. Although David never shows any loving feelings towa
After seeing the strange girl's angry gaze, Ella involuntarily took a step back, keeping her distance from David.David glanced briefly at the man standing behind Maria, his eyes filled with questions. Key understood what his master meant, he made a face like 'I surrender to this girl.'Maria entered the room and stood across from David. “Key says you're busy. Is this your busy job?” She coldly looked at Ella.Ella calmly stood to David's left, not saying a word. But inside, she kept cursing herself for not keeping her distance from him. She told herself she wouldn't love him, but now her heart flutters for him.“What are you doing here?” Ignoring Maria's question, David asked seriously.'Don't be rude, I need to be gentle to win his affection.' Thinking that Maria immediately changed her expression. She stroked her hair and spoke in a soft voice.“I have just returned from abroad. I miss you so much. I just want to meet you. I heard Key say that you were busy, so I asked Key to drive
