Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

329 Giving Permission To Jealousy

Christian headed straight to the studio where Ella was after talking to Jason. He let Jason, who was stuck at the company, take care of all the pending work.

After finishing her painting this morning, Ella worked on the front today. Luca was still busy finishing his painting so Ella took his place to take care of the studio and sell the paintings in the front area.

Due to her beauty and excellent social skills, she was immediately surrounded by many people.

Ella didn’t think anything of it. She was just happy to be able to sell so many paintings today. What’s more, these paintings were made by painters who were not yet well known, still building their careers from the get go.

When Christian entered the studio, he saw that there were many people surrounding Ella. He didn’t understand why a studio this small was suddenly swarmed by so many buyers.

“Miss, can you tell me what this painting means?”

“Miss, how about this painting? How much does it cost? I want to buy it.”

“Miss, I also want to buy this one. Can you help me?”

As soon as Christian entered, he heard many voices calling for Ella. And all those voices were male voices.

.....

Anger immediately rose in his heart.

He thought Ella would paint quietly here, without being disturbed by anyone. But what did she do? She even got close to many men!

In order to sell this mediocre painting, Ella had to seduce a lot of men!

The more he thought about it, the angrier Christian became. He immediately walked in and looked at Ella with a cold gaze.

All the men’s gazes were on Ella, unaware of Christian’s arrival. A man unknowingly nudged Christian and was annoyed at having to jostle with another man.

“Tsk…” the man grumbled in annoyance. “Who are you?” The people who came to this place were among those who were wealthy enough for the man to feel arrogant.

In fact, his wealth couldn’t be compared with Christian’s.

Christian looked at him coldly. “Do you deserve to know my name?”

“You!” The man felt humiliated. With his eyes bulging, he looked at Christian screaming, “Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this! Do you want to find trouble with me?”

Hearing the commotion, everyone immediately turned their heads back. Since there were many men standing before her, Ella couldn’t see Christian.

Just as he was about to push his way through the crowd to check the situation, the man in front of Christian had already spoken. “Miss, someone is making trouble here. Don’t worry. I will take care of that person.”

This was a good opportunity to show his prowess in front of a beautiful woman. He wanted to impress Ella.

When Christian heard this, he got even angrier. He gripped the man’s collar with a grim face. “You want to be a hero in front of my woman? Are you looking to die?”

The room fell silent so Ella could hear Christian’s voice clearly.

Wasn’t this still business hours? Why was Christian there now? Did she hear wrong?

Before she could think any further, she made her way through the crowd and saw Christian threatening the man. She immediately grabbed Christian and said, “Christian, let him go.”

If there was a commotion in that place, Luca’s studio sales could also decline.

When they heard Christian’s name, some people immediately stepped back. They know that name!

The face of the man whose collar was gripped by Christian turned pale. He did not expect that the man in front of him was famous in this city.

“This… It’s a misunderstanding. I just…”

“Just what?” Christian pulled Ella’s hand so that she moved beside him while still glaring at the man with an angry look.

He felt that if he didn’t warn these people, Ella, this stupid woman, would definitely be kidnapped by someone one day.

Ella had said several times that she didn’t want to be next to Christian. But Christian also knew that Ella had nobody now. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people intending to approach her right now.

Christian’s heart grew even more uncomfortable at the thought of Ella with another man.

The man opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say. He knew what Christian was like!

Ella knew it must have been terrifying to be in that man’s position. Not many people could withstand the pressure from Christian. She felt so sorry for the man that she looked at Christian, trying to persuade him. “He just wanted to help. He thought someone wanted to cause trouble in the shop. Don’t be angry.”

Ella said it in a very soft tone, hoping Christian would let him go.

But that only made Christian even more angry. “Are you asking me to forgive him? You beg for him?”

Why was this woman so kind to a man she didn’t know? Ella had never behaved like this to him. Even Ella used her gentle tone to plead with him.

“Do you like him?” Christian looked at Ella intently, as if preparing to strangle him if she dared to nod her head.

Ella was flabbergasted at the question. Why was Christian suddenly if she liked him? Why did that thought suddenly cross Christian’s mind?

Is this man stupid?

Ella knew Christian’s IQ was very high. But unfortunately, his EQ was one hundred and eighty degrees opposite.

“I don’t like him,” Ella said firmly.

If she made a mistake, she and the man in front of Christian would have bad luck.

When he got that answer, Christian’s heart eased a little. But that didn’t mean his anger was gone. “Then why are you defending him?”

“He is a buyer.” Ella tried to contain herself. How could a man with such a high IQ ask such a stupid question?

She was selling paintings and the buyer was the king. Of course Ella would do anything to defend him so the buyer wouldn’t be angry.

“But he likes you.”

Like a child, Christian kept sulking at Ella. He worried about everything, including little things like this.

Ella suddenly chuckled. She pointed outside and said, “In this city, there are so many women who want to marry you. Am I angry?” Ella said it with a cynical look.

Christian immediately let go of his hand and let the man fall to the floor. He looked at everyone around him with a cold gaze while hugging Ella’s waist. “Get out of here.”

All these people bothered him. He wanted to be alone with Ella.

They felt the hairs on their necks stand on end and left without a second thought.

Christian lowered his head and asked Ella, “Are you jealous?” Before Ella could answer, he had already continued, “I give you permission to be jealous.”
