President's Naughty Sweetheart

Chapter 9: Surprise Her Bosom Friend

When Ella went to work on Monday, she got the news that their studio had been bought by the Hill Group.

They all are required to report to work today.

There were four people in the studio. Except their boss, they were signed to the Hill Group by contract.

Another three female fashion designers were extreme excited except Ella.

"Oh my God! I finally did a right thing since I was born that I work for our studio. Now our studio is bought by the Hill Group. I feel like I’m going to marry a rich handsome tall man and reach the top of my life!" Bella Cooper, one of the fashion designers fancied her life while she was packing up.

Ella packed up quietly without saying something. In her opinion, she did not think it was as good as they imagined.

As the saying goes, "Better be the head of an ass than the tail of a horse." When she went to work for the Hill Group, she prayed that she would not become the one who was responsible for printing documents.

At noon, after their four had finished boxed lunch in the office, the former boss, Hunter James, came into the company, looking as if he had made a lot of money and he was pleased with himself.

"Ladies, this time the Hill Group can buy our studio, it is a great thing for all of us! We are predestined to work together. Next month I will emigrate to Australia. Let's go to eat a great meal tonight. It's my treat. I invite you to the most luxurious restaurant, the Eastern Palace. We meet at eight. Everyone is welcomed and I hope all you will come!" Hunter said joyfully.

Everyone promised to show up since the boss was so generous and warm to welcome them for dinner.

Hunter drove them to the Hill Group in person.

Looking at the towering building, Sofia Carson, who got along well with Ella, roared, "This is our new battlefield from now on!"

When they four walked into the building with a cardboard box in each of their arms, Hunter pulled Ella and said to her secretly, "Ella, you signed a five-year contract with me when you were hired. Now there are still three years to expire. Do not resign during these three years! Otherwise, you cannot afford break-up fees…."

Ella looked at Hunter driving away. She got a little confused that why Hunter only reminded her.

She shook her head and let the problem alone. Sofia in front of her called her to hurry up, "Ella, come on. Everyone is waiting for you!"

Ella trotted in heels to follow up the team.

They four got into the elevator for employees. There were two hours to be off duty and they need to report for duty before getting off work.

When they arrived at the personnel department, they finished the formality of entry smoothly and quickly. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

They four were all arranged into the design department of the Hill Group.

They had been the head designers in their former workplace before, but now they were assigned to be the designers' assistants.

There were ten designers in the design department, three of whom were chief designers.

Bella Cooper, Sofia Carson, and Anne Smith all became the assistant of the three chief designers. Only Ella was arranged into the logistics team, which meant she needed to do chores.

The logistics team help the designers make coffee, order takeout, take delivery, make PPT, collect data and so on.

Ella was putting the things on her desk in an awful bad mood. She knew that it was no use for her of joining the largest investment company in Asia.

Now she was on the margins, and instead of getting more money, she was getting 800 dollars less than she used to get.

She could not wait to be off.

When she finally got off work, her best friend, Alice Walker, called her and said, "Ella, I'm downstairs at your new company. Let's go to celebrate tonight. Congratulations on your change of husband and job! Good things come in pairs!"

It was the warmest thing to hear the voice of a good friend in such a strange environment.

"Wait for a second, I'll be right down!"

Ella carried her bag and went to the elevator. Sofia behind her called out, "Ella, don't forget we meet at the East Palace at eight tonight!"

"Got it!" Ella replied.

Out of the Hill Group, Ella got into Alice’s red Porsche roadster.

The scene that Ella got on a luxurious car was seen by a designer of the design department and the designer took a photo of Ella on the spot.

In the car, Alice asked Ella, "To be honest, that night that you left me alone was to meet whom? Last night I asked you the details, but you told me nothing! Do you still take me as your good bestie?"

Faced with her friend's question, Ella sighed, knowing that there was no way she could fool it, and then said frankly, "Alice you need to promise first that if I tell you, you can't laugh at me! Or even judge me…."Alice drove with one hand, the other hand taking a cigarette. She glanced sideways at her, and said in a surprise tone, "What’s up? Look at your seriousness. Ok, I promise I will not laugh at you or judge you. Deal?"

Ella took a deep breath, and then told her the truth, "The day I knew Benjamin cheated on me, I was in such a bad mood…. And then I went to the Night Club."

"Shit!" Alice was shock and interrupted Ella, "Are you serious that you really went to there to find a man to have sex to comfort you?"

"Alice, you have promised that you will not judge me." Ella said.

Alice threw the butt out of the window and immediately raised her hand and said, "Sorry, I'm sorry! I’m wrong! I promise I will not judge you. Go on please…."

For this kind of thing subverted her worldview, Alice was willing to take out one hundred thousand dollars to pay for this story.

Ella turned her face to the window. The perfect man's face flashed in her mind. She said, "I spent the five million dividends that Benjamin gave me when his company went public for the PRman."

Alice jammed on the brakes and parked the car to the roadside, then immediately stretched out her hand to touch Ella’s forehead and said, "Ella, are you sure everything is okay with you? Are you crazy?

You paid five million dollars for a PRman? You are messing up the market. How much should we pay for those PRmans when we want them after you had paid such high for them?"

Ella was amused by the half-true words, "Alice, I remember that you have already found other man to have sex, haven’t you?"

"Who told you I did so! Do you think I really called for a man the day I found that David cheated on me? Not at all! At that time, your cousin was hospitalized with appendicitis, do you remember? After you went to the hospital, I took a taxi home." Alice explained.

Ella blushed. She thought Alice was the same as her, but it turned out that only she herself did such a thing. Instantly, she was really regretful.

But the real regret was that she had been entangled by him.

"My god, why didn't you tell me before? If I had known you did not find a PR man, maybe I wouldn't have been so impulsive to do so at that time…." she signed.

Seeing Ella’s regretful expression, Alice quickly untied the safety belt, hugged her and said, "Never mind. Since you had already done so, we just let it go, alright? The men work for the Night Club all have a handsome face and a good figure. You have nothing to lose. Just the five million you spend was too much for a PRman."

Ella sighed, "Alice, I know that five million is a large sum of money and this money is the share out bonus that Benjamin gave me at the beginning of his business. In the mind, I know all the time that it is his money. But I don’t want to give it back to him since he cheated on me. If the money were back to him, maybe he would give it to Scarlett! At that time, I thought, even if I give it to beggars, I will not let it be Scarlett’s!"

When Benjamin was mentioned, Ella would still cry for those sad things. Alice patted her on the shoulder and said, "Well, don’t waste your tears for this man who cheated on you. I take you to eat something good, and then we go shopping! Don't worry. It's my treat!"

"Alice, it doesn’t work for me tonight. Our former boss invited us to the Eastern Palace to have a meal. It was actually a farewell party." Ella said.

Alie immediately smiled and said, "Can I go with you?"
