78 Not Me

“Miss, why are you so careless?” Before Ella could understand what Laras’ question meant, Laras had already dropped the bottle on the floor.

A loud sound was heard as the bottle and the coffee beans inside fell, scattering on the floor.

Ella was very curious. Actually, how expensive was this bottle of coffee beans that Laras accidentally dropped it to get her into trouble?

Lara’s eyebrows rose. She looked at Ella with disgust on her face.

As she had expected, this woman was a clueless bumpkin. She didn’t even know how expensive these coffee beans were.

Only Laras understood...

What did this stupid woman have? She didn’t deserve to be next to Christian.

“Miss, you must replace the item you damaged.”

Laras folded her arms in front of her chest. Her head was slightly raised and her eyes narrowed at Ella, looking at her with disdain.

.....

Her proud gaze showed that she felt she was above Ella.

Ella was a lowly woman who didn’t deserve to be compared to her.

Ella just looked at her calmly. “I didn’t destroy it. Why should I replace it?”

“Laras, it seems that you are being overly confident. I didn’t even touch the bottle. The fingerprints on the bottle are yours.”

Lara immediately laughed loudly. Her eyes looked like the eyes of a crazy person. “Do you think Christian will check for fingerprints on this broken bottle for you? You think too highly of yourself.”

Finally, she dared to attack Ella openly. She looked at Ella with a condescending gaze. “The CCTV in this room is broken. There will be no evidence.”

She thought Ella would panic in a situation like this. But the expression of this woman before her looked the same as before. She looked very calm.

There wasn’t the slightest panic or fear on her face...

“Are you not worried?” Lara frowned.

Ella stepped aside from there and sat on a chair looking at Laras. “Do you think that in Christian’s eyes, I’m worth less than coffee beans?”

Ella paid no heed to the coffee beans scattered on the floor. She firmly believed that her value was far more valuable than this coffee bean.



She could just use her beauty to make Christian forgive her, right?

“We will see later. We will prove your confidence!”

Laras shrugged her shoulders indifferently. Her eyes were filled with pride as if she could already imagine how Ella looked when Christian dumped her.

After she left, Ella wondered how she’d make Christian coffee now.

She looked around and found tea. Even though the two were different, she could only pray that this tea could replace the coffee.

Christian sat at his desk for a long time. It had been quite a while since he had asked Ella to make him some coffee. When he didn’t see Ella around him, he became more and more impatient.

He only ate a few spoonfuls and then his mind started to drift.

In contrast to Christian, Nathan was eating his food heartily. After finishing his meal, he licked his lips and glanced at Ella’s portion. As he was about to get off his seat and steal a bit of the food, Christian glared at him.

Nathan swallowed hard while holding the spoon in his hand. He didn’t understand why his father was being scary like this.

“Father...” he whispered weakly.

“Hmm?” Christian looked at his son, furrowing his brows. “Why hasn’t she come back yet?”

Nathan tilted his head and realized that his father was looking for the old woman.

Her name was quite beautiful, just like the owner. But Nathan didn’t want to mention it because it would make Ella happy.

“She’s been gone for quite a while. Do you want to find her?”

Nathan got out of his chair and approached Christian.

He also wanted to find Ella. After all, that woman had a bad temper. Without him, the old woman would definitely be bullied!

“Hmm...” Christian finally replied after a long silence.

Nathan’s lips formed a smile. Before Christian could speak again, Nathan had run out of his study and into the pantry.

Ella was still in the pantry, waiting for the hot water to boil. While waiting for the hot water, she considered whether her choice was the right one.

What if Christian didn’t want tea?

“Old woman!”

Nathan’s scream suddenly rang in Ella’s ears. After that, she felt someone tugging at her clothes.

“Old woman, what are you doing secretly here? You are suspicious!”

“I? Suspicious?”

Ella looked at Nathan’s fat face. Her bad mood earlier had disappeared since the fat kid’s arrival.

It’s true what people say. If you want to look young, you have to hang out with young kids often.

Nathan snorted and his eyes fell on the teapot Ella was carrying. “It smells great. Is it good?”

His eyes sparkled. Whenever he talked about something delicious, Nathan looked very excited.

“This is not for you.”

Ella moved the teapot away from Nathan. As she turned her head, she saw another figure standing at the door.



Subconsciously, her feet stepped back. What Laras said earlier came back to her mind.

Looking at the messy coffee beans on the floor, her heart skipped a beat. What if Laras was right that these coffee beans were very valuable? Would she have to pay a huge debt to Christian?

She had no money!

“Does it take so long to make coffee?”

Christian looked at Ella coldly.

Did this woman know that he had been waiting for her for so long?

“Something happened.”

Feeling Christian’s strong aura, Ella felt herself getting weaker and weaker. She pointed at the coffee beans on the floor. “Someone broke it.”

It’s true that she didn’t destroy it. That’s why she said someone broke it.

“Is that you?” Christian stepped forward. Suddenly his eyes looked scary.

This stupid woman made him wait so long over a small thing like this!

Good... Very good!

Ella looked at Christian in surprise.

Did Christian really care more about these coffee beans than her? It’s not that cheap, is it?

“It wasn’t me who broke-...”

“It’s only you here,” when Christian said it, he’d already walked up to Ella and grabbed her hand. “Are you trying to lie to me?”

Hearing the accusation from Christian’s mouth, Ella felt very angry. For some reason, she couldn’t contain her anger and even ignored that the person in front of him was a demon.

She yanked her hand hard from Christian’s grip. “I told you it wasn’t me! Why are you always accusing me!”
