It was Monday morning and Daniella is having a hard time getting up. She and Jenna went to casino all weekend to get the money she owes. To her It's still ridiculous even though she owned the Lumax, Jenna is still nagging to pay her back.
Aside from gambling they also have been drinking together with Irene while Scott and Robert were busy helping the Aldovian Princess back in Aldovia without anyone knowing it.
She knew that she needs to get up since she had an appointment to meet Mr. Chu and discuss his demand in exchange of the information she needed.
When she talked to Evan, she found out that they were close friends but got separated after Ken's father died. Evan already informed Ken about her situation to save her time, when she asked Evan why Ken doesn't give her the documents right away, he said that Ken wanted her to do something in exchange.
That's why today she will go to his office to discuss it.
She chooses to wear black slacks and a white long sleeve shirt and pair it with flat shoes. She didn't bother to put make up on and her only accessories was her watch.
Now that Mr. Chu knew what her intentions are. She doesn't need to fake her identity anymore. She still prefers to be the sweet type Daniella which made Evan fall for her.
After checking that she had everything in her bag. She went to the garage and drove away.
--
Ken Chu was still in his house when he received a message from Evan.
(She's coming to your office today)
He sighed as he read it. His friend was so crazy about Daniella and this really worries him. He prefers the cold icy cold Evan that he know.
When he came back, he thought that he hasn't moved on from Kierry, but he did. And even worst, he fell in love again. That's why he doesn't involved himself in any relationship. He prefers to have a secret short fling and not be emotionally involved.
To him, women only brings trouble.
When he saw Daniella, she didn't attract him at all. She's just a typical woman with pretty face and seeing his friend Evan fall for her really confused him. He saw all the woman running to Evan, Daniella might be pretty but too young for Evan.
Evan's previous love was Kierry and she was really the most gorgeous woman he had ever met. So, when he saw that Evan fell to her, he supported him all the way. But even so, Kierry didn't even give him a bit of her attention. He could only think of two reason. First, Evan was her husband's brother and second their age gap.
When she died. He felt like Evan's heart died with her. It pained him to see Evan suffering. They have been friends for so long, to all the good and bad thing they have done they stick with each other.
Now he found out that he's involved with Daniella. A girl who was even more mysterious than Kierry.
When Evan asked him to turn over all the document involving Dr lee, he hesitated for a moment, but since Evan used the 'friend card 'he couldn't say no, but he said that Daniella need work for it, which Evan didn't disagree.
So now thinking of this girl coming to his office, really disturbs him. He doesn't like her at all. She's like a sheep hiding her true identity, and with that he will do everything to take her skin off so Evan will know the whole truth about her.
To him, all the women are same. They are manipulative, gold digger and demanding. They will get whatever they wanted using their body and that disgust him.
When he saw Daniella that night in Evans house. He figured out that she must have planned it at along. That's why she wore that sexy lingerie to seduced Evan and made him obey whatever she wanted him to do.
He sighed after remembering it. He knew that even himself will do whatever she asked when she had that lingerie on.
He shook his head and look at the mirror in front of him. He was wearing a gray suit and pants, he knows that a lot of women fantasize him but he never went out on a date, if ever he needed a woman, he only needs to make a phone call and a girl will show up in his room.
Ken turned left and right in front of the mirror to check his figure, he felt that something is missing.
He doesn't know why but he went to the bathroom to fixed his hair again. He crinkled his nose after realizing what he was doing.
What the hell Ken? When did you care about any girls judgement.
After saying it in his mind, he narrowed his eyes and hastily turn on the water to washed his hand and leave his room. He could not believe that his body was thinking differently than his mind.
With that, he started his day in a bad mood and all his bodyguard can see that it's not a good time to even speak to him.
--
Daniella was in the lobby and arguing to the receptionist. She has been standing there for almost half an hour and she doesn't let her in.
She totally forgot to ask for an appointment to Mr Chu. When She called Mr Kuwan he said that I need to call Mr Chu but she just realized now that she doesn't have his number. Not only that Evan was not responding to her message
She sighed as she massages her temple.
With an irritated voice she speaks up.
"I don't have Mr. Chu's number, so if you can ask his secretary and inform him that Ms. Chen, his lawyer, is here then they will let me in." her patience was at the limit. She was so lazy to get up today and she had another trial today. The only thing she wanted to do now is to cuddle her husband.
The receptionist rolled her eyes to her which made her even more furious.
"Ms. CHEN. Please wait until Mr. Chu arrived. You can wait in the lobby, though I am not sure if he will be in the office today" after saying that the lady receptionist smirked at her and run her eyes at her from head to toe as if she was mocking her.
Daniella made sure that she looks presentable today even with simple clothes. Though she didn't put any makeup aside to the face powder she can say that she still looks pretty
She tried her best to slow down her patience so shut her eyes and smile at her after opening it.
She turned around and decided to occupy the available chair in the waiting room, she figured out that there's no point arguing to the receptionist and she will not understand that she has another thing to do than to wait in the lobby.
There were some people waiting too she noticed. They were all wearing suits even the three woman that sitting next to each other. She can see that they were whispering and she's too lazy to read their lips, if she's in the mood she will entertain herself and read their thoughts but because of all the drinks she had during the weekend she decided not to.
She was looking down on the documents she had on her hand, so she didn't notice the tall man walked passed by her
Meanwhile Ken Chu just entered the building. He was running late after one of his bodyguard was killed yesterday. He even forgot that he was supposed to meet Ms. Chen today
When he was in the elevator his eyes turned to the receptionist after thinking of Daniella. Without that he went to the receptionist and asked if Ms Chen is in his office.
He can see that the woman face went paled after hearing the name he mentioned. After seeing it he tighten his lips and asked what's wrong.
The woman started to tremble and put her hands together as she gives the answer.
"ahmm Mr…Mr Chu… Ms Chen was here for almost an hour. She's sitting right there" the girl use her trembling finger to point at the waiting room.
After recognizing her blonde hair, he turned to the woman with a dark expression.
"why is she not in my office?" his voice was like a thunder to the receptionist ears. All people in the building was scared of him . His family runs a pharmaceutical company. The salary was good but they always fired people for no reason.
"she didn't have any appointment therefore we didn't let her in Mr Chu." Her voice was low and apologetic. One of his bodyguard went to Daniella to pick her up. When he saw her coming, the girl had her face crinkled and irritated.
"Good morning Mr Chu "Daniella offered her hand as greet him which he gladly accepted. But his expression was still cold, while Daniella was relief to see that he has arrived.
"My apologies for being late. I received a message from your ex-boyfriend that you were on the way. Something came up so I was late "Daniella listened to his explanation and nodded. Honestly, she thought that he was a talking robot. His voice was neutral and his icy cold attitude were all over the place.
"that's fine. But we might need to hurry up as I have a trial to attend "she said while checking the watch on her wrist. The guy nodded but before they left, he looked at the receptionist and told her that she's fired
Daniella stopped after hearing it. She raised her eyebrow and look at him with confusion.
"why did you do that?" she was surprised on how easy is it for him to fire her. The lady might have been rude to her but She had a kid to raised and she believed that this job is her only income.
"Ms Chen. She's my employee and I believed she was not completely aware that you are our new lawyer. I don't need this kind of employee"
He put his hand on his pocket as he said it and stand tall in front of her looking down.
Daniella was wearing a flat shoes so she look smaller in front of him, she needed to lift her head up so they can talk face to face or else she will be talking to his broad shoulder.
She sighed as she places her hands on her waist and look up to him.
"I know this is not my place to say it, but i hope you will give her a chance, she did the right thing of not allowing someone without an appointment to come in "she turned to the receptionist who had her head down and almost crying.
Ken looked down at her and smirked.
"exactly. It's not your place, so Ms. Chen shut up" after saying that he bent down a little and moved his face closer to her
Daniella was surprise by his sudden movement but her body moved back right away. Seems like her body get used with this situation therefore her reflexes became more solid than before.
She can see the smirked on his face seeing her reaction, her lips were tightened as she speaks.
"fine, if you will fire her. Then I will hire her as my assistance, I hope it's fine with you." She said in confidence after gaining back her soul. It almost escapes after she saw how gray his pupils were.
Damn my weakness with handsome men will be the end of me.
She was scolding at herself inside her mind. She hates how easy it is for her to get carried by a handsome face.
When she thought that he will say yes. She read in his eyes that he was toying with her. She knitted her eyebrow after hearing what he said
"nope. I change my mind, you can't have her. She will work here until the end of her contract" after saying it, he curved the corner of his lips and turned back at her walking towards the elevator.
Inside of Daniella was a rage that exploded.
If she didn't need anything from him. She will not even dare to see his shadow.
Childish!!! Selfish!!! Jerk!!!!!
She was screaming inside her mind. Her face was so red of irritation. She pressed her lips together and walked with a heavy feet.
--
After they entered his office. She was welcomed by a cold environment. It was a huge office but everything was white and black. There was no other color than that. The wall was white and the furniture were black. She didn't expect it. It was so minimal, even the wall in the painting were abstract made from black and white.
She looked at him as he walked towards his chair. As soon as he sat down, he offered her to sit on the couch.
She thought that they will discuss his demands right away. But instead he started working and pretend that she was not around.
Half hour passed and Ken was still busy. His secretary and other people keep on coming in and out and every time they will look at her with confusion.
She didn't want to disturb him after seeing how busy he was. She heard that he just came back so his work must be piling.
She had an hour before the trial and since Ken was wasting her time, she decided to take the papers she had for the trial and review it again.
She was sorting out there paper when she felt the cramp on her feet. She immediately massage it as it started to made her feel uncomfortable.
She was concentrated with reading the paper while massaging her feet then she heard a cold voice.
"give me 15 minutes and we will be out here" before she could look at him. His face went down to the documents he was reading. She pouted her lips in secret and keep on cursing at him inside her mind.
What is wrong with this Jerk? I thought he will discuss his demand now I am stuck here with this devil.
She wrinkled her nose after thinking that.
A whole quiet room was disturbed by the ring of her phone. When she saw that it was Evan her moods lighten up and immediately answered the phone.
"yes Evan?" her voiced always so cheerful every time she talks to Evan.
Ken can see the change of her expression after answering the phone. When she mentioned his friends name, he narrowed his eyes and continue with his work. He was just reading the paper and it was not something important, he knows that he needs to talk to her but he prefer to have her around and waste her time.
Meanwhile Daniella was so glad to hear her husband's voice.
"where are you?" his husky voice made Daniella blush. She could not believe until now that Evan love her.
She giggled before answering
"I am in Mr. Chu's office soon I will go to the court for Lisa's trial"
Evan told her that CEO Hei will be their lawyer for the case, but it will easy since they decided to drop the charges.
After Daniella heard it, she smiled wholeheartedly and thank him.
"thank you Evan. At least I don't need to rushed. Anyway, are you free tonight?" she said while biting her lips, she still can't get over the fact that they are married.
She was acting like a girlfriend asking for her boyfriend attention at least it was how Ken chu interpret their conversation.
Just seeing her manipulating Evan really pissed him off. He still could not see what he like about this girl.
To him. She was childish and immature, she showed too much emotion which made him more irritated.
When Evan said that he can't make it tonight Daniella felt a little down. But she knew that he was busy too so she understands.
After she hung up the phone Ken Chu stood up and wear his coat.
"let go "his two words left Daniella speechless.
What does he mean by let's go????
She asked in her mind.
She clearly told him earlier that she had another appointment but this man ignored her completely.
"what do you mean by me let' go? I have a court to attend" as she said it her voiced was low and full of confusion.
Ken Chu turned his back at her and shrugged his shoulder.
"I am coming with you, I need to make sure that I hired the right lawyer to handle my cases" his cold voiced shivered Daniella's skin.
The hot lava starred to boil inside her body. She can feel that this man was having a good time pissing her off. And she also doesn't know why but this guy really can get into her nerve so easily.
For goodness sake. I am one of the five world class lawyer. I don't need to prove my self to you!!!!!!
Her mind was screaming inside her head. If she's normal person she might end up to a mental hospital.
After saying that, the man left the room and close the door leaving her alone in the room. He didn't even bother to wait up for her to hold the door.
"!!!!!!"
She was completely speechless and her lips opened up to uttered the word she has been keeping inside.
"you shameless ungentledog jerk!!!!!!" she said in a deep low voiced. She was in rage and couldn't believe that the man like him is a friend of her gentle husband
She harshly grabs her bag and leave the office.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

A girl who was even more mysterious than Kierry.When Evan asked him to turn over all the document involving Dr lee, he hesitated for a moment, but since Evan used the 'friend card 'he couldn't say no, but he said that Daniella need work for it, which Evan didn't disagree.So now thinking of this girl coming to his office, really disturbs him. He doesn't like her at all. She's like a sheep hiding her true identity, and with that he will do everything to take her skin off so Evan will know the whole truth about her.To him, all the women are same. They are manipulative, gold digger and demanding. They will get whatever they wanted using their body and that disgust him.When he saw Daniella that night in Evans house. He figured out that she must have planned it at along. That's why she wore that sexy lingerie to seduced Evan and made him obey whatever she wanted him to do.He sighed after remembering it. He knew that even himself will do whatever she asked when she had that lingerie on.He shook his head and look at the mirror in front of him. He was wearing a gray suit and pants, he knows that a lot of women fantasize him but he never went out on a date, if ever he needed a woman, he only needs to make a phone call and a girl will show up in his room.Ken turned left and right in front of the mirror to check his figure, he felt that something is missing.He doesn't know why but he went to the bathroom to fixed his hair again. He crinkled his nose after realizing what he was doing.What the hell Ken? When did you care about any girls judgement.After saying it in his mind, he narrowed his eyes and hastily turn on the water to washed his hand and leave his room. He could not believe that his body was thinking differently than his mind.With that, he started his day in a bad mood and all his bodyguard can see that it's not a good time to even speak to him.--Daniella was in the lobby and arguing to the receptionist. She has been standing there for almost half an hour and she doesn't let her in.She totally forgot to ask for an appointment to Mr Chu. When She called Mr Kuwan he said that I need to call Mr Chu but she just realized now that she doesn't have his number. Not only that Evan was not responding to her messageShe sighed as she massages her temple.With an irritated voice she speaks up."I don't have Mr. Chu's number, so if you can ask his secretary and inform him that Ms. Chen, his lawyer, is here then they will let me in." her patience was at the limit. She was so lazy to get up today and she had another trial today. The only thing she wanted to do now is to cuddle her husband.The receptionist rolled her eyes to her which made her even more furious."Ms. CHEN. Please wait until Mr. Chu arrived. You can wait in the lobby, though I am not sure if he will be in the office today" after saying that the lady receptionist smirked at her and run her eyes at her from head to toe as if she was mocking her.Daniella made sure that she looks presentable today even with simple clothes. Though she didn't put any makeup aside to the face powder she can say that she still looks prettyShe tried her best to slow down her patience so shut her eyes and smile at her after opening it.She turned around and decided to occupy the available chair in the waiting room, she figured out that there's no point arguing to the receptionist and she will not understand that she has another thing to do than to wait in the lobby.There were some people waiting too she noticed. They were all wearing suits even the three woman that sitting next to each other. She can see that they were whispering and she's too lazy to read their lips, if she's in the mood she will entertain herself and read their thoughts but because of all the drinks she had during the weekend she decided not to.She was looking down on the documents she had on her hand, so she didn't notice the tall man walked passed by herMeanwhile Ken Chu just entered the building. He was running late after one of his bodyguard was killed yesterday. He even forgot that he was supposed to meet Ms. Chen todayWhen he was in the elevator his eyes turned to the receptionist after thinking of Daniella. Without that he went to the receptionist and asked if Ms Chen is in his office.He can see that the woman face went paled after hearing the name he mentioned. After seeing it he tighten his lips and asked what's wrong.The woman started to tremble and put her hands together as she gives the answer."ahmm MrMr Chu Ms Chen was here for almost an hour. She's sitting right there" the girl use her trembling finger to point at the waiting room.After recognizing her blonde hair, he turned to the woman with a dark expression."why is she not in my office?" his voice was like a thunder to the receptionist ears. All people in the building was scared of him . His family runs a pharmaceutical company. The salary was good but they always fired people for no reason."she didn't have any appointment therefore we didn't let her in Mr Chu." Her voice was low and apologetic. One of his bodyguard went to Daniella to pick her up. When he saw her coming, the girl had her face crinkled and irritated."Good morning Mr Chu "Daniella offered her hand as greet him which he gladly accepted. But his expression was still cold, while Daniella was relief to see that he has arrived."My apologies for being late. I received a message from your ex-boyfriend that you were on the way. Something came up so I was late "Daniella listened to his explanation and nodded. Honestly, she thought that he was a talking robot. His voice was neutral and his icy cold attitude were all over the place."that's fine. But we might need to hurry up as I have a trial to attend "she said while checking the watch on her wrist. The guy nodded but before they left, he looked at the receptionist and told her that she's firedDaniella stopped after hearing it. She raised her eyebrow and look at him with confusion."why did you do that?" she was surprised on how easy is it for him to fire her. The lady might have been rude to her but She had a kid to raised and she believed that this job is her only income."Ms Chen. She's my employee and I believed she was not completely aware that you are our new lawyer. I don't need this kind of employee"He put his hand on his pocket as he said it and stand tall in front of her looking down.Daniella was wearing a flat shoes so she look smaller in front of him, she needed to lift her head up so they can talk face to face or else she will be talking to his broad shoulder.She sighed as she places her hands on her waist and look up to him."I know this is not my place to say it, but i hope you will give her a chance, she did the right thing of not allowing someone without an appointment to come in "she turned to the receptionist who had her head down and almost crying.Ken looked down at her and smirked."exactly. It's not your place, so Ms. Chen shut up" after saying that he bent down a little and moved his face closer to herDaniella was surprise by his sudden movement but her body moved back right away. Seems like her body get used with this situation therefore her reflexes became more solid than before.She can see the smirked on his face seeing her reaction, her lips were tightened as she speaks."fine, if you will fire her. Then I will hire her as my assistance, I hope it's fine with you." She said in confidence after gaining back her soul. It almost escapes after she saw how gray his pupils were.Damn my weakness with handsome men will be the end of me.She was scolding at herself inside her mind. She hates how easy it is for her to get carried by a handsome face.When she thought that he will say yes. She read in his eyes that he was toying with her. She knitted her eyebrow after hearing what he said"nope. I change my mind, you can't have her. She will work here until the end of her contract" after saying it, he curved the corner of his lips and turned back at her walking towards the elevator.Inside of Daniella was a rage that exploded.If she didn't need anything from him. She will not even dare to see his shadow.Childish!!! Selfish!!! Jerk!!!!!She was screaming inside her mind. Her face was so red of irritation. She pressed her lips together and walked with a heavy feet.--After they entered his office. She was welcomed by a cold environment. It was a huge office but everything was white and black. There was no other color than that. The wall was white and the furniture were black. She didn't expect it. It was so minimal, even the wall in the painting were abstract made from black and white.She looked at him as he walked towards his chair. As soon as he sat down, he offered her to sit on the couch.She thought that they will discuss his demands right away. But instead he started working and pretend that she was not around.Half hour passed and Ken was still busy. His secretary and other people keep on coming in and out and every time they will look at her with confusion.She didn't want to disturb him after seeing how busy he was. She heard that he just came back so his work must be piling.She had an hour before the trial and since Ken was wasting her time, she decided to take the papers she had for the trial and review it again.She was sorting out there paper when she felt the cramp on her feet. She immediately massage it as it started to made her feel uncomfortable.She was concentrated with reading the paper while massaging her feet then she heard a cold voice."give me 15 minutes and we will be out here" before she could look at him. His face went down to the documents he was reading. She pouted her lips in secret and keep on cursing at him inside her mind.What is wrong with this Jerk? I thought he will discuss his demand now I am stuck here with this devil.She wrinkled her nose after thinking that.A whole quiet room was disturbed by the ring of her phone. When she saw that it was Evan her moods lighten up and immediately answered the phone."yes Evan?" her voiced always so cheerful every time she talks to Evan.Ken can see the change of her expression after answering the phone. When she mentioned his friends name, he narrowed his eyes and continue with his work. He was just reading the paper and it was not something important, he knows that he needs to talk to her but he prefer to have her around and waste her time.Meanwhile Daniella was so glad to hear her husband's voice."where are you?" his husky voice made Daniella blush. She could not believe until now that Evan love her.She giggled before answering"I am in Mr. Chu's office soon I will go to the court for Lisa's trial"Evan told her that CEO Hei will be their lawyer for the case, but it will easy since they decided to drop the charges.After Daniella heard it, she smiled wholeheartedly and thank him."thank you Evan. At least I don't need to rushed. Anyway, are you free tonight?" she said while biting her lips, she still can't get over the fact that they are married.She was acting like a girlfriend asking for her boyfriend attention at least it was how Ken chu interpret their conversation.Just seeing her manipulating Evan really pissed him off. He still could not see what he like about this girl.To him. She was childish and immature, she showed too much emotion which made him more irritated.When Evan said that he can't make it tonight Daniella felt a little down. But she knew that he was busy too so she understands.After she hung up the phone Ken Chu stood up and wear his coat."let go "his two words left Daniella speechless.What does he mean by let's go????She asked in her mind.She clearly told him earlier that she had another appointment but this man ignored her completely."what do you mean by me let' go? I have a court to attend" as she said it her voiced was low and full of confusion.Ken Chu turned his back at her and shrugged his shoulder."I am coming with you, I need to make sure that I hired the right lawyer to handle my cases" his cold voiced shivered Daniella's skin.The hot lava starred to boil inside her body. She can feel that this man was having a good time pissing her off. And she also doesn't know why but this guy really can get into her nerve so easily.For goodness sake. I am one of the five world class lawyer. I don't need to prove my self to you!!!!!!Her mind was screaming inside her head. If she's normal person she might end up to a mental hospital.After saying that, the man left the room and close the door leaving her alone in the room. He didn't even bother to wait up for her to hold the door."!!!!!!"She was completely speechless and her lips opened up to uttered the word she has been keeping inside."you shameless ungentledog jerk!!!!!!" she said in a deep low voiced. She was in rage and couldn't believe that the man like him is a friend of her gentle husbandShe harshly grabs her bag and leave the office.
