Ella was dumbfounded. She had a choice in her heart, but she didn't want David to see Raymon as an enemy. She hopes they will become good friends, like before.
Hearing the door close, Raymon opened his eyes wide and sat up, his previously drunk eyes suddenly became clear. She would go after David, that was what he expected, but he still couldn't contain the loss. He received a call from Maria.
"He came?" Maria asked.
"Must too. He also left."
"I guess the time is perfect, every second and every minute is the same." She gloated and hung up the call.
She kept calling David after he finished the meeting. "I saw Ella going somewhere. I followed her, only to find out that she went to the bar with Raymon."
David was angry, clenching his hands. His face darkened. That's why he was at Raymon's house. All due to Maria and Raymon's plan.
Maria smiled for a moment and then went to Villa Anthony. After greeting Mrs. Emma, she entered David's bedroom, waiting for him.
David returned home angrily, his whole body emitting a dangerous aura, that no one dared to approach. As soon as he opened the bedroom door, his feet stopped when he saw Maria sitting on the sofa. "Why are you here?"
Maria put the book down on the table and approached him. "When I was a child, I often went to my friend's house, we had fun together, it was very fun. Now, you have changed, you treat me like a stranger. You don't even want to talk to me." Her eyes were sad.
David lowered his voice. "Sorry. I didn't mean that."
"OK. I'm hungry, let's go eat, okay?"
"I'm busy. If you're hungry, ask Sophie to cook for you." David went into the office.
Maria also followed him into the office, she showed interest in him and asked. "You look very tired, do you need me to help you, give you a shoulder massage?"
"No need."
"You work hard, I just want to give you a shoulder massage." She cordially helps him punch his back, and she takes care of him in every way tenderly, like a wife takes care of her husband. David felt his mood lighten a lot. He patted her shoulder. "Thank you, Maria."
"Ella isn't back?" Maria pretended to ask.
"Don't mention her name." David was annoyed again.
"Okay. You know, I'm the only person in the world who cares about you the most. Don't be sad, okay? I want to see you smile, I want to share your joys and sorrows." Tenderness is a woman's most powerful weapon, even David, can't resist Maria's tenderness. She hugs him, whispering in his ear. "I am the one who loves you the most..."
David removed her hand. "You go home, I'm tired, I want to rest." He went to the closet, got his clothes, and went into the dressing room.
Maria has no other choice, she leaves. She believes that with this plan, she will cause David and Ella's relationship to deteriorate. They will soon divorce, and she will be in Ella's place, living with David for the rest of her life.
Ella feels unable to face David right now, so she goes to her father's apartment and spends the night there.
The next morning, Ella arrived at the company by taxi. Last night, she thought a lot. 'If I had chosen David then I shouldn't have had much contact with Raymon. This is not good for either me, Raymon, or David.' She whispered in her heart and reminded herself to limit her approach to Raymon.
About that night, she felt she should still explain it to David, so she made an excuse to give him the documents and went to the general manager's office.
But she doesn't meet David, she meets Maria.
"Ella, why did you come here? Are you looking for David?"
"I... I came to give him the documents." Ella stammered
"He's in the meeting room, two hours to go before the meeting ends. Would you like to wait for him with me?" Maria leaned her body against the door.
"No need. I still have work, please give this document to him."
"OK." Maria took the document from her hand.
"Thanks." Ella hesitated, not wanting to go.
"How? Do you have anything else to do?"
"Tell him on my behalf, eight o'clock tonight, I'll wait for him at the beach."
"Okay." Maria showed a simple smile in her heart she devised a small plan, and her eyes showed a cold glint.
As soon as Ella entered the elevator, David came out of the meeting room, followed by the senior management of the department. As he walked, he gave detailed instructions on cooperation contracts. He just walked to the office door, the door automatically opened, and behind the door revealed a smiling face.
"Maria, is something wrong?" David asked surprised.
Maria pulled his hand. "I have brought a lunch box for you. Let's eat together, okay?"
"Why don't you have lunch at the company?"
"I want to cook for you." She sat down on the Italian leather sofa and opened the lunch box, and the aroma spread across the room.
"Thank you." David was nonchalant.
Maria pushed the lunch box towards him and said. "Eat it quickly, cold food won't taste good."
David looked at the file on the table and asked. "Who brought this document?"
"Ella."
"Did she say anything?"
"Not available." Her face looked innocent as she asked back. "You two quarrel, right?"
"No." David regrets not ending the meeting earlier, so he can meet Ella. If Maria hadn't brought lunch today, he would have gone to Ella's office to meet her. she.
"Didn't I make a good lunch box?" Maria touched his hand.
David came out of his dream. "No. The rice is delicious."
"But your face is not happy."
David hesitated, he couldn't tell her how much he missed Ella in his heart.
"Tonight, please invite me to dinner, this is to thank you for making lunch boxes for you."
David hesitated for a moment and agreed to Maria's suggestion.
Ella sat at the beach and waited for David to arrive. She kept believing that Maria would pass her word on to him.
During this time, she and David are at odds, so she's staying at her father's apartment for the time being. Wait for the right time, think of a way to save him, and then she will move back to Villa Anthony.
So, Ella asked him to come to the beach together to set off fireworks and build affection. Everything is ready, just waiting for him to arrive. Seven hours and fifty minutes, still ten minutes to go. Now, she just realized, waiting for someone to be so tense and nervous.
