Chapter 54 Jealousy
Chapter 54 Jealousy
At the moment, there was only Ella in the office. She wanted to leave. Anyway, Aiden didn’t say this contract translation is needed urgently. She will not work overtime for him!
She took her bag and left.
Just now, her colleagues Bella and Anne sent her a text message asking her to meet, saying they had something important to tell her.
Ella was just about to leave the office when she received a call from a stranger.
"Ella, you're too busy to reply to me even after sending you several DMs, don't tell me your account was frozen."
When she heard that it was actually Arthur calling, she asked, "How did you get my phone number?"
Arthur was playing cards at a friend's private club, with a cigarette in his mouth, "It's just a phone number. It's quite easy."
"Have you received the clothes I sent you?"
"Received, but it seems to have broken..."
Ella frowned and said, "It’s Impossible! It's not my business if it's really broken. You should ask the express company for compensation."
Arthur laughed, "You’re so anxious. I'm just kidding with you."
"It’s so boring! I'll hang up if you have nothing important to say." Ella had to rush to meet Anne and Bella. She had no time to talk to Arthur.
Arthur also perceived her impatience and so he hang up the phone.

Forty minutes later, Ella took a taxi to the restaurant.
She went up to the private room on the second floor of the restaurant. Ella had just settled down when Bella asked her directly, "Ella, do you know about Sofia's dismissal by Daniel?"
"What? Sofia was expelled by Daniel? I thought she had taken leave to go back home!" Ella was surprised.
Bella and Anne looked at each other. Anne laughed, "It seems like you really don't know..."
Then Anne told the whole story. Ella then knew that Sofia had been fired by Daniel. But the design department had not yet been publicly notified it.
Ella couldn’t believe that Sofia had cheated in the design competition last time. She hired someone to design for her.
Bella asked Ella: "Now that you are the boss's assistant intern. Tell us honestly what is your relationship with Daniel? Sofia told us that you..."
Ella asked, "What did she say about me?"
Bella glanced at Anne. And Anna laughed, "Sofia said you have a crush on Daniel. But you’re already married."
"How could she talk like that! I don't like Daniel. And I'm already divorced!" Ella was so angry.
They were shocked by the news that she was divorced.
Bella was surprised, "What happened? You were having a good relationship, aren’t you?"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Ella was annoyed and didn’t know how to explain.
Bella had been envious of Ella for having a rich and handsome husband. But now that she heard the news, she began to speculate about Ella's reasons for divorce.
She laughed a little unkindly: "Ella, just tell us. We won’t tell anyone! Tell us honestly. Is the reason for your divorce is Daniel?"
Bella continued to speculate, "Or is it Aiden?"
Hearing Bella mentioning Aiden, Anne also asked excitedly, "Have you seen the boss? I've heard that the boss is even more handsome than actors! Rumor has it that the boss has an exclusive parking space, which is directly connected to his exclusive elevator. So general staff like us can't see him at all if they are not summoned!"
"Yes, Ella. You are an assistant intern now. Who are you sharing the office with? Is it the chief assistant to the boss?"
Ella was annoyed by them. She was in trouble herself, and now she had to be inquired as their entertainment.
She was not a fool. She knew that they were gossiping about her.
She was not in the mood to participate in the conversation.
If Bella and Anne knew that she was the secret lover of Aiden, they may not know how to make up about her when she’s not present.
Ella stood up and said calmly, "My divorce has nothing to do with Daniel. I'm not feeling well. I’m leaving."
"Ella, we've already finished ordering. Just stay..." said Anne, standing up and rushing to Ella.
"I’m fine. Enjoy yourselves. Bye."
Ella closed the door of the private room. Bella snorted, "She’s acting like this after being promoted. Does she think that we should flatter her?"
Anne looked at Bella and said, "Don’t be angry. It’s in human nature. When they are rich and powerful, they’ll forget the ones who have accompanied them...."
"Although she is now merely an assistant intern, but we all know that she has more rights than most of us. I don't know if Ella was promoted because of Daniel."
Anne continued, "Bella, you still remember, right? I told you that Daniel and boss are relatives. If Ella is with Daniel, then he will help her to be promoted."
Bella answered with contempt, "She’s been promoted just because of a man. But we cannot be promoted even we are working so hard."
Anne teased, "Bella, you can also find a man who can help you! Is there anything going on between you and Assistant Shaw?"
Bella exclaimed, "No! Assistant Shaw has a girlfriend. We are just ordinary friends!"
She saw Anne smiled and did not say anything. Bella continued to explain, "It’s true! I really have nothing to do with Assistant Shaw!"
Anne obviously didn't believe it at all, she laughed, "It’s ok. Ella is with Daniel. It's not impossible for you to be with Assistant Shaw."
Anne laughed mockingly. Bella was a little pissed off.
Bella said, "Oh by the way, I saw your husband delivering roses to a beautiful young girl. Is she your husband's cousin?"
