Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

337 What Answer Do You Want?

“Ella, what happened? Why did you get a subpoena?” Luca asked frantically as soon as Ella picked up the phone from him.

“Subpoena?” Ella repeated those words with a confused look. She had forgotten about her phone call with Nissa Putri this afternoon. “What summons?” She asked back.

Christian frowned upon hearing Ella’s conversation. He didn’t ask much. He just waited patiently until the conversation was over.

Luca explained anxiously, “Just now, a lawyer contacted me and told me that there was an important document for you, but he couldn’t reach you. I had a feeling there was something odd about it that I thought it was sent the wrong way. I opened it and read it, but the letter was really addressed to you. It was said that you imitated a painting by Nissa Putri.”

“Nissa Putri?” Ella’s hand that was holding her cell phone trembled slightly.

She was really angry now.

At first, she thought she was just looking for trouble by scaring her so that Ella didn’t think much of it. But it turned out that the woman actually carried out her threat.

Luca thought Ella didn’t know Nissa so he tried to explain to her, “Nissa Putri is a rising illustrator. She has a lot of fans.”

“I know. She called me earlier,” said Ella.

.....

Luca was surprised to hear that. “She called you? What’s the real problem?”

“She told me to admit that I plagiarized her work and quit painting,” Ella said with a snort. “She also asked me for money as compensation for not taking this matter to court. Otherwise, she won’t let me work in this city.”

Luca gasped. He was not surprised because what Nissa said was so cruel. In fact, he felt very sorry for the woman.

The woman didn’t know that Ella was someone Christian was protecting. It seemed that the woman who had just risen to the top was looking to kill her own career soon…

Ella thought Luca was worried about her so she said, “It’s okay. She’s just talking big. I don’t think much of it.”

Luca came back to his senses and asked, “Then what are you going to do?”

“Someone told her to do this,” Ella said confidently.

Nissa wouldn’t suddenly look for trouble with her for no reason. Why was Nissa suddenly looking for an unknown painter who sold her paintings at low prices? What could Nissa get from an amateur painter like Ella?

Luca thought for a moment and in the end, he agreed to Ella’s critical thinking. He also felt that Nissa couldn’t possibly do this randomly, without someone telling her to.

“Brother, there’s no need to worry so much about me,” Ella said casually. “Just leave it. Wait for her to take the initiative to come face to face with me.’

Luca felt much more relieved when he heard Ella’s confident answer. Even though he had just met Ella, he already considered Ella his best friend, or even his own sister.

“In that case, fine then. You have to be careful. Call me if you need anything.”

“Thanks for calling me,” after saying that, Ella hung up.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment. She felt that there were only two people who could do this, namely Indri and Nadia.

But remembering how small Indri’s brain was, Ella felt sure that her step sister couldn’t think of such an idea. Is it possible that all of these are ideas and suggestions from Merry?

Or maybe, Nadia is the one behind it all?

Ella looked at the man beside her and said, “Christian, your ex-fianceé seems to be after me.”

Ex-fianceé…

Unknowingly, Christian’s lips twitched. First, he was already annoyed that a call had interrupted his dinner with Ella. Second, something happened to Ella. Third, it seemed that this had something to do with him.

He looked at Ella and asked seriously, “What is it?”

“Today, an illustrator contacted me and said that I had copied her work. Just now she gave me a subpoena through Brother Luca.” Ella didn’t hide it at all.

After she finished saying that, Ella lowered her head and ate the steak that was on the table as if nothing had happened to her.

Even the taste of the steak was still very delicious in her mouth.

Christian looked at Ella intently and realized that this woman in front of him was not worried about her fate.

“Who?” Christian asked.

How dare this person accuse his woman! Is she looking to die?

Getting into trouble with Ella was the same as looking for trouble with Christian!

Ella rolled her eyes, feeling everything was so ridiculous. Most likely, all this happened because of Nadia, because she was jealous of her being chosen by Christian.

She looked at Christian with a smile and asked, “Christian, if I get into trouble, will you help me?”

Ella’s eyes stared straight at Christian.

Don’t blame her. Isabella Maheswara is not a nice woman.Even if she was called a criminal, she would not let anyone who sought trouble with her get away with it.

The woman deliberately wanted to challenge her. So, Ella will not hesitate to show her cruelty.

“Yes,” Christian answered. Helping Ella was such a small matter for him that he didn’t hesitate in answering. But…

“How are you going to repay me?”

Ella’s cheerful face instantly turned dim. How should she repay Christian who was willing to help her?

“What do you want from me in return?”

“I want you to wear your old secretary outfit,” Christian said seriously, eating his steak nonchalantly.

Ella stared at Christian’s handsome face that was hidden in the dim light of the candle. Even though she couldn’t see her own face, she knew that her cheeks were currently flushing red from the heat that also reached her ears.

“Is there any other choice?” Ella didn’t want to wear those clothes anymore.

“Waitress attire,” Christian quickly gave another choice.

Ella was frustrated to hear that and she said, “You did it on purpose!” Her lips were pouting as she pouted in annoyance.

Her spoiled tone made Christian’s hands stop moving.

He looked at Ella and the corners of his lips curved. “So what if I did it on purpose?”

He got to his feet and walked toward Ella with eyes filled with passion that he didn’t hide. He lifted her chin and kissed her lips.

The dinner on the table was only partially touched. Even their stomachs were not fully filled. But Christian had already taken Ella to his room.

Tonight, Christian had been very gentle with Ella. Unlike when he released his passion repeatedly until Ella was exhausted.

This time, he thought more about Ella, not wanting her to be too exhausted.

After finishing making love to Ella, he took a warm towel to clean her body. He also took Ella to the bathtub and took a warm bath together to relax the tense muscles in her body. He did all this so that Ella’s body would not be too sore.

However, while giving her a bath, Christian bit Ella’s lip and said, “I’m looking forward to it tomorrow night.”

“You…” Ella looked at Christian in disbelief. Her eyes looked red as she looked at Christian with a pitiful face.

The stare made Christian chuckle. He stroked her head gently.

It was rare for Ella to hear Christian’s laughter. His smile almost blinds Ella’s eyes.

…

The next morning, Ella received a call from Nissa. She was still so sleepy that she grabbed her phone with her eyes half closed.

While answering the call, she found a comfortable position in Christian’s arms.

“Hello?”
