Trapped with a Lawyer

"How about that? Are you scared?" Ella smiled and looked at Samuel who maintained a stolid expression. 'Wow, he is pretending to be calm', Ella thought.

Samuel looked at the super spicy hotpot and laughed. He asked the waiter, "Please bring the double-flavour hotpot for us, one flavour, the soup base to be mushroom plain broth, the other, super spicy broth." Ella had ordered other side dishes to accompany their soup, so Samuel just requested for the soup dishes.

When the dishes was served, the plain soup was placed in front of Ella and the spicy soup, in front of Samuel. Ella 's expression turned grim with disappointment.

"Samuel, you are mistaken. I want the spicy soup too."

Spicy soup was necessary for the hotpot because it must have chilli.

Samuel handed Ella a bottle of juice and said, "You haven't recovered yet so you can't eat spicy food."

Ella couldn't argue because he was right. Ella looked at the spicy soup base and started to drool.

"Samuel, if you can't eat spicy food, you can just eat the mushroom soup with me. Don't push yourself, "Ella said. All the men Ella has met couldn't eat spicy food, so she thought it was the same case for Samuel.

Samuel took a sip of juice and smiled at her, "Don't worry about me."

"Samuel, don't eat the hotpot if you can't handle the heat." Ella was worried that he would be choking and in tears because of the chilli. Moreover he might upset his stomach.

"Call me Sam." Samuel didn't answer her question and his voice expressed resistance.

Ella glared at him, confused by how quickly the topic was changed. Finally, she nodded. Soon after, they began eating.

Samuel took some cooked vegetables from the mushroom pot and put in Ella's bowl.

When Ella saw Samuel eating the spicy food calmly, Ella felt that the vegetables in her bowl were as tasteless as wax.

Was he trying to impress me?

After a while, it was clear that Samuel could handle the spiciness.

Even for her, spicy hotpot was so spicy that she had to drink water frequently. But Samuel was so calm and looked as if he was eating a non-spicy mushroom soup.

Samuel took another pair of chopsticks and served Ella all the food in the mushroom soup.

After the hotpot meal, Samuel didn't speak about how hot or spicy the food was. He just said, "The super spicy hotpot here is not spicy enough." In fact, he had tasted Indian chilli before which was so spicy, even for seasoned spicy food eaters.

Ella was so surprised that she choked on the juice she was drinking.

How could Samuel eat very spicy food? "Isn't your ex-girlfriend allergic to spicy food? How could you have eaten spicy food then?" Ella asked.

Samuel was about to laugh. Because he understood that Ella was jealous.

When he thought of Emma, Samuel didn't laugh. He explained to Ella briefly that he liked spicy food too, as much as Ella. Switching to a serious topic he said, "Let's go to Chengyang Private Hospital in the next few days."

Emma was stuck in the hospital and couldn't go anywhere.

"I've gone to the doctor already." Ella didn't understand why Samuel wanted to take her to the hospital, she thought that he was just worried about her wounds.

Samuel shook his head, "I spoke to Chuck. I know your situation. I'm not taking you there for a check-up."

Ella looked at Samuel curiously, prompting him to clarify. "You will know when we get there."

Leaving the hotpot restaurant, Samuel noticed that the smell of the hotpot had stuck to his coat, which he hated. If Ella hadn't asked him to eat at the hotpot restaurant, he wouldn't have come. It was eleven o'clock at night. Very few people and cars were on the street.

Walking hand-in-hand to the Audi, they noticed that Yang had left.

Samuel took Ella to the passenger's side and gestured for her to enter, helping her to fasten the seat belt. Then he walked to the driver's side and started the car. Thinking about what happened outside Samuel's office, Ella got angry and told Samuel, "This seat belongs to me. I'm the only woman who can sit here, understood?"

"Yes, Madam!" Samuel answered without hesitation.

After thinking for a while, she retracted her statement, "Well, grandma, mother and our relatives are allowed to sit here. But no-one else."

Samuel smiled and said, "No problem. Whatever my wife says!"

Ella raised her head proudly and thought that Samuel was behaving well today. "Ok, the merits offset mistakes," she said.

"The merits offset mistakes? But I'm always good. What mistakes have I made?"

Ella guessed that Samuel wouldn't admit his faults. Therefore, she looked at him and replied, "You seem to have attracted a lot of sluts." Samuel smiled and stopped the car at a red light. He moved closer to Ella and said intently, "Is being handsome my fault?" and then he kissed Ella. The kiss prolonged for quite some time, full of passion and want. They hadn't kissed each other like this for quite some time.

The car behind interrupted their moment because of its blaring horn. Ella pushed Samuel away and said, "Drive."

After crossing the junction, Samuel asked Ella, "Your husband is very skilful in all aspects of life, don't you agree?"

Ella noticed that Samuel was flirting with her and pinched his leg, "No. Not all."

"Not all? Where am I not skilful?" Samuel switched on the car lamp and pulled over.

In confusion, Ella watched as Samuel unfastened his seat belt and moved closer to her. "Come here, let me remind you how skilful I can be." "What are you doing? Drive. Let's go home..." Ella was speechless and wondered why he was talking like that.

Samuel ignored her warnings. He opened the door and gestured her to the backseat.

Oh no! She had questioned his abilities. Did he want to remind her here and now?

"No, no, Sam. It's so cold, let's go home then you can remind me all you want." Samuel bit her neck and said, "Okay".

Ella felt lucky then, but Samuel's words stopped her smile. "Here first, then at home."

"No, no, Sam, we are on the street..." Ella grasped his coat tightly. However, her resistance was futile because she had aroused him.

If Samuel was aroused enough, he could do it in a crowded shopping mall, not to mention on a quiet street.

It was one o' clock in the morning when an Audi A8 stopped in front of a villa. Ella emerged from the car, wearing a coat.

Her legs were so weak that she needed to hold the car door for support. Seconds later, she was enveloped by a warm hug. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
