So he suggested to Ella to play with him. Ella hears the reward is a meal worth $500, and she agrees.
Raymon pulled Ella's hand to the opposite building and signed up. There are a total of ten couples participating in the game.
"Thank you for your participation." The host spoke loudly with a smile. "The rules of the game, the boyfriend will carry his girlfriend on his back and he has to stand on one leg. The pair that stands longer, will win.
Ella and Raymon were in the final round. The other couples couldn't stand it, so they fell to the ground one by one. Looking at them, Ella couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you ok? Am I heavy?" Ella whispered into Raymon's ear.
"No, I'm fine. Do not worry." Raymon whispered back.
In the end, there is only one pair of Ella and Raymon left, of course, they will be the winning pair in the game. Ella jumped up, very excited. Today she will be eating for free.
David walked down the stairs, towards the main lobby of the company. Maria stood at the entrance, looking to the other side of the building, a smile on her lips.
"What are you looking at?" David stepped closer to her, curious.
"I saw something very interesting." Maria pointed to the building opposite the company.
David looked that way, too, for a split second, his pupils constricted, his eyes shooting out a cold light. He saw them smiling while playing the game.
At this moment, David's face was stiff, red as if he wanted to spit out fire. Unconsciously, he clenched his fingers.
"A few days ago, she had a happy Valentine's Day with her friend, but now she is approaching another man to seduce her. A woman like Ella, can you fall in love?" The more Maria spoke, the more anger in David increased.
"It was my fault it was in the Terra Blues bar, I was drunk at the time, and I didn't know what I was doing myself. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ruin your relationship with Ella. But with Ella, she is married but with another man playing intimate games. Is she not afraid of public opinion?" Maria went on to say that, on the surface, she didn't mean anything when she said those words, but in her heart, she was deliberately ruining David and Ella's relationship.
'Without me, you're very happy, aren't you? What does our time together mean to you, after all?' David felt his heartache. He clenched his teeth, and his body gave off a dark aura that made anyone who looked at it tremble in fear.
A minute later, he took a deep breath, exhaled, and walked away.
Maria grabbed his hand. "Where are you going?"
"I went out for a walk," David spoke in a cold voice, his voice so cold it felt like the air around him was frozen.
Maria smiled triumphantly. She reminds herself that she will find ways to keep them from getting along.
David drives at such a high speed that he doesn't even stop when the traffic light turns red.
In the restaurant, Ella and Raymon enjoy their free meal together.
"Thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have this free meal." Ella said while peeling a shrimp.
"Don't thank me. If I don't have friends to join me, I can't win the game either. They need a man and a woman." Raymon replied cheerfully.
"I know. You can invite anyone in our company. Our company has a lot of female employees."
Raymon shrugged. "But, I just wanted to invite you to play with me."
Ella pretended not to hear that, she bent down to eat.
Outside the restaurant, David sat in his car, looking over at them. His anger subsided, and instead, sadness filled his heart. Can't blame Ella, it's his fault, if he didn't go to Terra Blues that day, this bad thing wouldn't have happened and it wouldn't hurt to see his wife talking and laughing happily with her. another man.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became at Maria. But what is the use of him being angry with her? Maybe she was drunk and couldn't contain herself. How did she know Ella was coming? He drove Ella home and he kept thinking that Ella was in the house, waiting for him. Unexpectedly, she followed him.
'She didn't believe me, so she just followed me to Terra Blues?' David thought. Little did he know that everything was Maria's plan.
During recess, Maria wanted to have lunch with David, so she went to David's office. She knocked on the door three times but no sound came out. She put her hand on the door, turning it gently. The door opened.
David was not in the room. Maria walked around, looking around the office with a smug smile on her lips.
'One day, I will be the CEO's wife. Everything in this place will belong to me.'
Suddenly, her gaze fell on a yellow file that was exposed outside a cabinet. Curious, she approached David's filing cabinet, she took out the yellow file, opened it, and read it. She was taken aback when she read the words in the file. It was the marriage contract between David and Ella, he forgot to tear it up.
Maria wanted to go to David to ask about the marriage contract between him and Ella, but then she reconsidered and an interesting idea popped into her head. She took the file and left David's room.
After work, Maria went to Villa Anthony. The servants bowed to her in unison and they gave her a warm welcome.
Sophie made tea and set it down on Maria's table. Moments later, she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Maria looked up, Mrs. Emma was walking down with a smile on her lips.
Maria rose from her chair and greeted Mrs. Emma. "Hello, I came to visit you. How are you?"
Mrs. Emma smiled. "Thanks for visiting me, I'm fine. Sit down."
Maria sat down on the sofa, pretending to look around. "David hasn't come back yet?"
"Recently, he doesn't come home often. I think he bought his own house and lived with that woman." The eyes of Mrs. Emma get angry when it comes to Ella.
"There's something... I need to say..." Maria stammered. "Although she is married, Ella approaches and seduces other men."
Mrs. Emma was amazed. "Is this the truth?"
"Yes. I have witnessed. One of them is Raymon, he works in our company. I guess Ella purposely seduces David and forces him to marry her to earn money to pay for her father's treatment." Maria took the yellow file, reached out, and handed it to Mrs. Emma.
