As soon as they finished their meal, "Nicklaus" chased Martin away.Martin clung to the door frame, unwilling to leave. "It's so dark and so cold. Can't you just let me stay here for a night?"Ellena found it hard to associate Martin, who was clinging to the door frame like a puppy, with Director Collins from the famous D-Fronts Media.He might have been possessed by something strange.Martin felt Ellena's gaze and coughed lightly. He immediately let go of his hand. "Actually, it's not that cold. I'll go first."After Martin left, only Ellena and “Nicklaus” were left in the hall.Ellena looked outside the door. She was a little confused. Why was Edward not back yet?Where did he go often?"I'll go up first." Ellena glanced at “Nicklaus” and turned around to go upstairs.However, "Nicklaus" suddenly stopped her. "Ellena.""What?" Ellena stopped and looked at him.She was already very white. Under the light, her face looked more like it was covered with a layer of fine powder. Her eyes
Ellena was paying attention to Ralph's expression as she spoke.When she mentioned the black card, she clearly saw a guilty look on Ralph's face.Now he knew guilt?But it was already too late.Ralph saw that Ellena did not look like she was pretending to be scared and felt a little troubled. He said, "Can't you just not tell him about the black card first?"Ellena sneered in her heart. It was already at this time and Ralph did not want to hand over the black card.Although she thought so in her heart, the fear on her face became deeper and deeper.She secretly pinched her leg. It was so painful that tears rolled in her eyes. She squeezed harder and tears fell out.Ellena brought her mouth with tears as she said, "That black card was just lent to me by Edward. I will return it to him later. Even if I don't tell him, he will find out sooner or later."As if she had thought of something terrible, Ellena cried even harder. “You don't know how scary that person is. He is simply a devil. H
Ellena's confusion deepened, "Why are you looking for me?"But she also knew this was not the place to talk. She grabbed his arm, pulled “Nicklaus” and walked out.Edward was being pulled by her. Because he was tall, she had to take two steps each time he took a step. This way, there was a sense of calmness on his body."Why are you looking for me?" After leaving the Smith Group, Ellena asked the same question again.In her opinion, “Nicklaus” would not come to her for no reason."Nicklaus" did not answer her question immediately. Instead, he looked at her without batting an eyelid.Ellena had cried before. Although there was no trace of it now, Edward still noticed that her eyes were a little swollen and there was a trace of unusual redness in them.She had cried before?But why?He narrowed his eyes slightly. He really could not associate the word "Ellena" with "crying”.Moreover, she was still in the Smith Group. She couldn't possibly have cried because Ralph, could she?After a fe
Ellena stomped her feet and waited for him to finish the call.Two minutes later, "Nicklaus" hung up the phone. With a cold face, he looked back at her expressionlessly.Ellena got goosebumps all over her body when he looked at her. She gave him the card and cash. "I promised to treat you to dinner. Of course I have to pay.""Nicklaus" took back the card and did not take the cash.Ellena still wanted to give him the money. "Hey, take the money!""Nicklaus’s" eyes fell on her slender white fingers and stretched out his hand. Ellena thought he wanted to take the money but did not expect him to directly hold her hand.Ellena's expression changed slightly. Before she could say anything, "Nicklaus" forcefully pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his eyes. His ink-like eyes were dark and churning. His deep voice was like an aged wine. It was so fragrant that it was intoxicating.But what he said was very shameless. "If you must return the money to me, then kiss me. If you kiss me, I will
When she thought of what Ellena and “Nicklaus” had just done here, a flash of jealousy appeared in Naomi’s eyes. "Why are you still entangled with Nicklaus? Don't you know that you are a married woman? Edward ignoring you is your own fault!"Naomi's words poked exactly Ellena's sore point.Ellena's expression changed slightly. But she refused to back down. "Even if Edward doesn't care about me, I’m still his wife. But what about you? If the Smith Group goes bankrupt, no one will tolerate you anymore.”Naomi's face turned pale. She pointed at her and said sharply, "Shut up!"Although Naomi was pampered by the family to the point of being lawless, she also knew that she could play without fear outside, it was only because of the Smith Group behind her.Although the Smith Group was not a big company in Herton City, it had been established for many years and had a solid foundation. It also had many established companies and had some reputation in the industry.When Old Master Smith founde
In Sea Horizon Club.Edward came out of his room and called Paul."Did you get her?"Paul said, "I have already sent Young Madame back to the villa.""Okay."Edward hung up the phone and was about to go to the bathroom, but when he turned around, he was bumped into by a waiter carrying curry rice.The broth of the curry rice spilled all over Edward's clothes.When the waiter saw this, he was completely stunned. He shook his body and hurriedly apologized. "Sir, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."Edward frowned, but he didn't scold the waiter. He turned and left.As the boss behind the scenes in Sea Horizon Club, Edward also had a room here. When he was not married before, he came here to take care of things. Sometimes, it was too late, so he just stayed here.However, after getting married, he basically never stayed here.The toiletries and clothes in the room were all available.He entered the room, took off his shirt, and turned around to look for clothes in the wardrobe.His gaze fell on a navy
When Ellena arrived at the company, the first thing she did was to look for Naomi.However, when she went, there was no one in Naomi's office.Ellena asked her assistant, "Manager Smith is not here yet?"The assistant shook her head.Ellena's mood became even more complicated.If "Nicklaus" really had a relationship with Naomi, she would feel that it was like putting flower on a piece of dog poo."Nicklaus" looked arrogant and unbridled, but after spending the past two months with each other day and night, Ellena felt that his private life was quite simple and not as chaotic as Naomi's.…Because of the incident of the factory being exposed, the reputation of the Smith Group’s market had dropped drastically. The discussions online were very intense, and whenever people mentioned the Smith Group, they would scold them.It had been 48 hours since the incident was exposed. If they did not think of a way to resolve it, the matter would only ferment more and more.The public relations depa
When the employees saw Naomi like this, they took a detour to avoid her and hurried out. One of them seemed to have disliked Naomi a long time ago. When she left, she even pretended to casually stretch out her foot in front of Naomi. Naomi saw that they were about to leave and still wanted to pull them, so she did not notice the road under her feet. Thus, she fell to the ground in front of everyone. Naomi heavily fell to the ground. She felt pain all over her body. She stretched out her hand and tried to get up but did not get up. She was angry and shouted loudly, "I want to fire all of you!" Did she not hear those people say that they already wanted to resign? They probably would not wait to be fired by her. Ellena looked out of the corner of her eye and saw Ralph walking towards them from the elevator. She turned around and walked over to help Naomi. "Sister, why are you so careless? You must have fallen and hurt. The ground is so cold. I will help you up." Naomi shook off he
