151 Childhood Friends
“Sir, Mrs. Merry and her daughter have come to see you. She said she had something important to discuss with you.”
“Do you need to ask me about something like this?” Jason’s words made Christian feel displeased.
The Maheswara family never treated Ella well. Of course Christian didn’t want to meet them.
Only this time Christian felt his assistant was incompetent.
But Jason wasn’t at fault either. Right now, he didn’t know that Christian was currently putting pressure on the Maheswara Family.
“Sir, they said it’s about Miss Ella.”
Jason looked a little confused. He also knew that Christian did not want to meet this mother and daughter.
However, he could see that his master’s attitude towards Ella was different from that of other women.
What if it turned out to be something important?
.....
That’s why Jason decided to ask Christian first.
At this time, Indri could not stay still while standing in the lobby. Seeing Jason who was still hesitating, she immediately grabbed the phone in Jason’s hand. Afraid that Christian couldn’t hear her clearly, she said aloud, “Christian, you have been lied to by Ella and Liam. They have a relationship!”
“Miss, please return the phone to me.” The expression on Jason’s face was slightly annoyed.
The Maheswara family was known as a dignified and educated family. Why couldn’t they educate their daughter properly?
Compared to Ella, Indri was completely rude.
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Christian’s gaze turned sharp.
Did Ella lie to him? How dare she!
It was impossible for Indri to lie about this matter.
Christian frowned and said, “Tell them to wait.”
After that, he ended the call.
He opened his phone and looked for Ella’s name. After hesitating for a moment, he finally contacted Ella.
For some reason, there was a feeling of nervousness in his heart. He was afraid that everything Ella told him was just a lie.
He trusted Ella so much and never doubted anything she said.
When he got the information about Liam, Christian just glanced at her and decided to believe what Ella had to say compared to the lifeless papers.
Christian knew that Ella had a lot of grudges in her heart. If he was not careful, he could also leave a trail that wouldn’t be able to be erased for the rest of his life.
Ella was opening the recipe book in her hand, looking for the simplest recipe.
The sunlight coming from outside wasn’t too dazzling, but it was enough to lighten the room.
Ella waited a long time after she picked up Christian’s call, but the man didn’t speak. Finally, she asked in surprise, “Christian, are you there?”
Since there was no further answer from Christian, Ella muttered under her breath. “Could it be that he pressed the wrong button?”
However, suddenly, Christian’s voice was heard. “What’s your relationship with Liam?”
Ella almost dropped her phone at the sudden question. The phone almost slipped, but Ella grabbed it tightly.
“Nothing, we don’t have that kind of relationship. Haven’t you investigated it before?”
Even though her lips said that, Ella’s heart was still panicking. Christian wouldn’t ask something without reason. The man must have known something.
Maybe Christian saw what happened yesterday!
Many speculations appeared in Ella’s mind. When she was about to ask again, Christian had hung up.
Ella felt her body trembling when the call was disconnected.
The chef beside her asked if Ella still wanted to continue cooking. Ella looked doubtful but finally nodded.
In the CEO’s room, however, Christian’s eyes were glued to his phone screen. What Ella said just now kept echoing in his mind.
Nothing...
Is there really no connection between them or whatsoever?
Christian called Jason and told him to take Merry and Indri to his office. If Ella didn’t lie to him, Christian wanted to know what these two were up to.
Indri’s eyes shone brightly when she heard that Christian was willing to meet them.
The only reason why she came to see Christian confidently was because she had a photo of Ella and Liam in her hands.
Luckily, she found the location where Liam lived and when she wanted to meet Liam, the man was with Ella.
Merry was also feeling excited. When she imagined Ella would be dumped by Christian, she felt very happy.
Jason then brought them into Christian’s room, but along the way, he had a bad feeling.
The elevator had reached the top floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Indri immediately rushed out.
“Wow!!!”
She couldn’t help but stare at her surroundings in awe.
There was only one room on the top floor, namely the CEO’s room. Even the door to the room was very big. The room was designed in a modern minimalist style, but it didn’t look empty.
Merry cleared her throat softly to warn her daughter and Indri immediately calmed down.
This was Christian’s office, not just a random person’s.
Jason walked to the door and knocked. After hearing the answer from inside, he let Merry and Indri go inside.
As soon as she stepped inside, Indri felt a pressure on her body, almost making her wobble.
“Christian.” Merry, who was much more experienced and older, had more control over herself than her daughter. She greeted Christian respectfully and nudged Indri.
Indri immediately woke up and nodded her head. “Christian.”
Christian raised his hand, gesturing for Jason to get out of there. After that, he turned his gaze to the two women in front of him. “What business do you have that you want to meet me?”
“Christian, you have been lied to by Ella!”
Indri couldn’t wait to spill everything to Christian. Right now, the only image in her mind was Ella looking pathetic after she got abandoned and dumped by Christian.
She couldn’t wait to see Ella fall from the seventh sky, to the ground full of mud and dirt.
Indri’s heart was filled with joy.
What did her sister have after she got out of the mental hospital? She could only depend on Christian.
If she lost the only person who helped her...
Christian frowned when he heard Indri’s rude remark.
Merry studied Christian’s face and noticed the displeasure on his face. She immediately took her daughter’s hand while looking at Christian respectfully.
“Do you still remember Liam? William Jaya?”
Merry maintained her appearance as an educated woman from the upper class in front of Christian.
Christian looked at Merry and then his gaze shifted to the document in his hand, waiting for Merry to continue.
“Last time we went to a jeweler, I didn’t notice Liam because he’s all grown up now. Actually, Ella and Liam were childhood friends,” said Merry.
After saying that, Merry was silent for a moment as if waiting for Christian’s reaction.
