The laptop had not been turned off yet, and when Samuel hovered the mouse cursor over a photo, he saw himself in it, And Emma blowing cake candles beside him.

He felt guilty when he saw the sad woman sleeping on the sofa with her hand leaned to one shoulder.

Turning off the computer, he picked her up.

Ella briefly moved her small mouth. She had fallen asleep in a comfortable position.

It was only until Samuel put her on the bed when she finally opened her eyes.

She looked at the man beside the bed. Ah? Why was Samuel here? She thought she must've been in a dream. She then closed her eyes and fell sound asleep again.

Samuel sat by the bed, gently touching her bags.

"Ella, I am sorry.

If only you hadn't lied to me.

Ella..."

The next day, Ella woke up from her sleep because her phone was ringing.

She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and checked her phone. It was Sum.

"Hello, Sum." Her voice was husky, and this tone made Sum laugh.

"Ella, I am sorry to bother you." Sum thought she must have been awake since it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Ella shook her head and looked at the time: "It's time to get up. What happened this morning?" She yawned and sat up from her bed.

The quilt was all in a mess. Did Samuel really come back? She remembered that she had fallen asleep in the study. How did she end up from the study in the bedroom?

Sum said, "Ella, Ella, did you fall asleep again?"

The bewildered Ella awoke again from her day-dream: "No, no, what did you say?" She got out of bed and opened the window curtains.

Sum imagined her sleepy face and smiled: "I saw your resume on the internet. Are you looking for a job?" He repeated what he said again, with patience.

"Ah, yeah! I'm too bored at home and I want to find a job, yes." Ella was a little embarrassed. Since they went back to old house, Samuel didn't let her come anywhere near their child. She was always bored when she was alone, so why wouldn't she go out and get a job?

Familiar with her current condition, Sum didn't ask for more information and just spoke out a sentence

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

allow dimples in his cheeks: "You are, indeed, my honored guest, and I am preparing to set a table here for you so you can work here in the future." He pointed at an empty place, indicating that that is where her table would be.

"Don't do that. I just need to find a place outside of this office." She was just an assistant, not a boss.

Sum didn't force her and then he took her to see the assistant area outside the office they were in. Sum already had two assistants. Ella was almost useless here.

After finding a suitable place for her, Sum came back with a thick pile of documents: "Today your duty is to have these classified and bring them back to me after you've finished."

Ella saw the documents surprised: "Would it be easy?" Classify... It sounded easy.

Sum stood beside her with his hands in his pockets: "Yeah, it seems easy but actually it isn't. If there is any problem, you can freely ask me." The he called a woman over.

She was young and about twenty years old. Ella said hello to her. Sum said something to Zhen. He was asking Zhen to take good care of Ella.

Sum went into the office and Ella started working on what she was assigned.

It was like he said, this job sounded easy, but in reality it was difficult.

Ella kept bustling around in his office on her first day. Only after, when she saw Ms. Zhen's eyes, did she realize she was over-enthusiastic about it.
