The question bringing Daniel's mind back, he trudged towards Aiden uneasily. When he looked at the exceedingly perfect and handsome face, Daniel understood what jealousy was for the first time.
Pretending to be calm, he struggled to the Aiden’s desk and put the documents on it.
At the moment, Daniel had to hold his anger back. He had no idea that whether he was annoyed by the cruel way of Aiden treating Ella... or the shameless behavior Ella did!
Aiden pretended to cheek the documents that Daniel gave him, but he showed his unreal concern deliberately: "What's wrong with you? You don't look good. Is it for what happened just now embarrass you?"
Daniel forcibly covered up the unhappy emotions in his eyes. He realized that he was just Ella's boss in the design department, but not her boyfriend or her husband. Did he have the qualifications to be angry?
He replied unemotionally: "Mr. Aiden, thank you for your concern. I'm fine."
"Daniel, as you are more traditional about sex, I will not instill in you about my point of view. It was my fault that what happened just now. Ella has been indulged too much. She often came to please me when she had nothing to do. You see, although I have agreed her to have a position in the Hill Group, she was unsatisfied and asked to be my underground lover..."
(Underground lover...)
The face of Daniel having been pale for a long time, he never imagined that Ella was such a woman!
"Mr. Aiden, this is your privacy. You don't have to tell me. If there is nothing else, I am going to work first." He can't stand to listen anything more.
His heart was full of contempt for himself when he recalled that he wanted to chase such a woman, Ella.
Aiden felt quite contented with a sense of revenge by observing how irritated his little cousin was. No matter who covet his woman, he would give the one a hard time!
"Okay, there’s nothing more. Just leave the documents here and I'll cheek it later." Aiden said casually.
Daniel nodded and said, "Well, then I'll go out."
Aiden said to Daniel facing Daniel’s back: "By the way, I decide to transfer Ella to another position near me to save her time of running back and forth. Despite she is now in your design department, she came to the Hill Group because of me. I suppose you won't have any problem, will you?"
Daniel clenched his fist and gritted his teeth but he tried to look like relaxed and replied after a few seconds, "It’s up to you."
Daniel could not remember how he struggled to left the president's office.
He only knew that he didn't feel like returning back to the design department now. Anywhere was fine as long as he was not in the company!
Daniel left the building driving his car. But not long after he driving out, he saw the woman he didn't want to face most at the moment!
Ella!
The woman who refused his pursuit once again in the Hong Kong restaurant!
All of a sudden, all the emotions which was suppressed in his heart broke out... He quickly parked the car to the side of the road, pulled out the car keys, unfastened the seat belt and marched forward with great anger. Soon he stood in front of Ella.
As for Ella, she ran out of the company and walked in the street out of mind, eyes already swelled with tears. So absent-minded she was that she was almost hit by a car just now.
At the moment, she was extremely embarrassed with a face full of tears as if she had suffered unimaginable setbacks, though she didn't make up.
The moment when Ella raised her face, the anger of Daniel suddenly disappeared by seeing so in spite of the unacceptable scene he saw in the office.
( Well, what did her tears represent?)
Recalling what Aiden said to him before, Daniel directly asked: "Ella, is it true that you are Aiden's underground lover?"
Ella cried hysterically as if her heart was really filled with grievances, which made Daniel affirm his thought that the previous text message sent by Aiden to let him go upstairs to bring the documents when Ella was in his office, at such an embarrassing moment... seemed to have been arranged on purpose!
His eyes was surged with a chill after it occurred to him that last time he saw the slap sigh on Ella's face!
After about ten minutes later, Ella seemed to be tired of crying. Her feet were even unstable due to lack of oxygen in her brain and Daniel hugged her waist quickly.
He helped her to a bench not far away near a mini flower bed. There were few people at the moment so it was suitable for them to talk in the quiet place.
Ella took over the handkerchief in his hand and simply wiped her face, trying to calm down, while Daniel just accompanied her quietly and patiently.
Ten minutes later, Ella lowered his head and said calmly, "Do you really want to know about the relationship between me and Aiden?"
A hint of complexity flashed through Daniel's eyes as he wanted to know but was a little afraid. He was afraid that what she said was not what he wanted and afraid that she really liked Aiden...
But he said with frown, "Yes, I do."
"Can you swear to keep it secret?"
Daniel was slightly stunned because actually speaking, he wouldn't tell it to another one even if she didn't required him. After all, it was about Aiden whose secret he didn't dare to tell anyone.
"I swear."
Ella kept silent for a while and then she said how Aiden and she met and why they were entangled in the present.
Half an hour later, Daniel became almost furious with unstable breath and twisted eyebrows and he scolded angrily: "My cousin is too much!"
