Chapter 177
As soon as Ella approached closer, the guard standing at the door recognized her immediately.
“Ella, you’re back?” He looked a little surprised. After all, there weren’t many women as pretty as Ella at the bar.
Even though she was wearing heavy makeup, not many could match Ella’s beauty.
Ella just nodded briefly, not looking too excited.
She knew that the man was being nice to her just because of her face. Did she still hope that someone would treat her sincerely, if not for her face?
How ridiculous.
Even Christian just liked her appearance.
Ella rushed into the bar. It was dusk, many people had started to come.
.....
Several men Ella passed by showed interest in their eyes.
Ella thought, sooner or later, she would serve these people. There’s nothing wrong with being friendly. Ella returned their gazes with a smile, making one of them gasp.
“Amazingly beautiful!”
“Judging by her expensive clothes, she should be from a rich family.”
The discussion started because of Ella’s sudden appearance there.
“No matter where she is from, didn’t she come to have fun?”
A man moistened his lips and his eyes filled with a passion he didn’t try to hide. He wanted to go up to Ella and talk to her, but he didn’t expect to hear Ella talking to the bar manager.
The person beside him immediately withdrew his hand and said, “Give it be. Don’t approach her. We don’t deserve to be near her.”
There were important people who supported this bar so it could be the best bar in town. As soon as this woman appeared, the manager immediately approached her.
That alone showed this woman’s identity!
The man couldn’t help but curse in annoyance amidst the glittering light, turning his attention back to the blaring music.
Ella was completely unaware of this incident. As soon as she entered the bar, she went straight to the manager and said, “Manager, can I go back to work here?”
The manager knew about her relationship with Christian. It must have been obvious that Ella had been abandoned by Christian so she came back here begging for a job.
Ella felt a little nervous, worried about how the manager would treat her.
After all, in this city, everyone was afraid and didn’t want to get into trouble with Christian. Except for her...
The manager looked at Ella for a long time and couldn’t help but ask. “Ella, you and Mr Christian...”
“I... I didn’t mean to do something wrong and made him angry,” Ella smiled, though she was feeling more and more panicked as time went on.
If the bar manager didn’t let her work there, Ella might understand his reason.
Just as she was about to give up, the manager looked at her again and said, “Change your clothes. Your clothes are still in the previous locker.”
At first, the manager thought that a smart woman like Ella would be able to win Christian’s heart. He was almost certain that Christian would fall to his knees in front of Ella.
Based on his experience, he knew that Christian treated Ella in a special way.
There was no way he would leave her for no reason.
After Ella came out of the dressing room, the manager pulled her aside and asked, “Ella, did you offend Mr Christian by mentioning something in front of him?”
Ella narrowed her eyes and looked at the manager suspiciously. “Manager... Do you know about it too?”
The manager seemed to understand something. Something that even the butler didn’t know...
Ella also wanted to know what kind of woman could make Christian react like this.
“Oh, I heard the matter is taboo for him.” The manager whispered in Ella’s ear mysteriously. “You are a smart woman. Poor you. Mr. Christian really hates women who want to be his girlfriend.”
Ella’s lips twitched. What she wanted to know and what the manager was talking about were two different things.
But seeing that the man was so serious, Ella didn’t interrupt him and let him speak.
The manager spoke very carefully and kept his voice low, “I have worked here for a long time and he often comes. Several years ago, a woman had tried to approach him and said that she wanted to become his wife and be Madam Adipamungkas. After that, Mr. Christian instantly broke the hand that touched him. After that, her life was ruined.”
The manager shook his head and sighed.
Ella felt sweat run down her back. Should she be grateful Christian didn’t do that to her? Since her first meeting with Christian, Christian had asked her to be his woman!
“Thank you, manager. I will remember it.”
Ella stroked her arm, as if trying to bring down the hairs that stood up.
The manager looked Ella up and down and made sure she was okay. “You are very lucky. He didn’t do anything to you, right?”
Was she lucky?
Didn’t she almost die from suffocation? She also nearly broke her bone when she fell from the second floor.
Did that mean Christian didn’t do anything to her?
However, Ella did not dare to tell everything to the manager. She just waved her hand. “I’m fine.”
Everything Christian did to her wasn’t that painful. She had never felt pain greater than that.
Plus, Ella was sure she and Christian wouldn’t be in touch again after this. She’d been waiting for a few days, but Christian seemed to have forgotten about her.
And she couldn’t wait any longer. There was something she had to do. With or without Christian’s help...
It’s important to please Christian, but her life was even more important. And something more important than her life was her mother’s house which was still in the hands of her family.
She had to get the house back, no matter what.
She would not let Indri and Merry succeed in destroying her life!
A resolute determination could be seen on Ella’s face.
The manager didn’t say anything else. He only ordered Ella to serve the guests. Initially, the work was very smooth. Ella had worked there before so she already knew what she had to do.
In addition, she had an attractive appearance so she could get a lot of guests as well as tips.
In the midst of the crowd, many people were looking at her. Many of them were attracted to her.
The man who had previously wanted to talk to Ella looked surprised when he saw Ella wearing a maid outfit.
Ella’s extraordinary appearance, whether it’s the front or back, coupled with her beautiful face and long legs, attracted him very much.
“I thought that woman was a rich woman. I didn’t think she was working here,” the man said with sparkling eyes.
