Ellie squatted down helplessly, hugged her knees, and cried bitterly.
Secretly, I was thinking something.
ah!
Be patient!
I really wanted to slap Lei a few times right now.
But she couldn't do that. If she did, Su Luo would no longer pity or sympathize with him, and would think that she didn't need his protection and could protect herself.
If she wanted to win his affection, she had to make herself appear gentle and kind, like a naive and innocent little angel.
"?!?!"
Leila was stunned by Ellie's mysterious actions and stood frozen in place, too afraid to move.
She couldn't understand it anymore. Was this girl genuinely kind, or was she putting on an act for herself and all these other people?
If it's the latter, it's really terrifying; someone so young can be so cunning.
The staff weren't familiar with Ellie, since it was her first day at work, and besides, President Su was still there.
President Su's unusual behavior just now has made everyone realize that Ellie's relationship with him is not ordinary, and no one dares to really go up and comfort her.
The director was smart enough to pretend he didn't see it.
Su Luo stared at Ellie, who was squatting on the ground crying with trembling shoulders, and began to feel dazed.
Ellie, not far away, seemed to have transformed into Nini, whom she longed for.
At that moment, everyone around them vanished.
It was just me and Nini.
Su Luo couldn't help but rush over, bend down and hug Ellie tightly. Just as she was about to say something to comfort her, Ellie's striking blonde hair pulled her back to reality.
No, she's not Nini, she's Ellie.
He hurriedly let go, stood up, and took two steps back.
Ellie was also frightened by his extreme actions. She fell to the ground, supporting herself with her hands on the cold floor, looking at him with teary eyes and her brows slightly furrowed.
This isn't right.
Why did he suddenly run over and hug me, especially in front of so many people?
Was my acting just now really that good, making Su Luo completely lose her mind and overflow with pity?
How frivolous!
Wasn't he very conservative before?
The surrounding staff were also so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and stared like saucers.
What's going on?
Has President Su taken a liking to Ellie?
That's not right!
Doesn't Mr. Su have a girlfriend?
Isn't she Ye Xiaoman, the lead singer of that very popular rock band?
This melon is so sweet and so big!
It's worth noting that President Su usually keeps his distance from celebrities at all times; even Mia, whom he works with every day, has never had a single scandal.
Su Luo realized he had lost his composure and awkwardly apologized to Ellie.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
He couldn't say in front of so many people that Ellie looked like Nini, because that would make him seem even more abnormal.
"It's okay, can you help me up?"
Ellie smiled gently and extended her hand to Su Luo.
Su Luo couldn't refuse directly, so he spoke to Leila, who was standing to the side at a loss.
“Help Ellie up. You're the one who made her cry, so you have to take responsibility.”
Leila was even more confused.
"?!?!"
No, you just hugged her, and now she's asking you to help her up, so why are you making me take responsibility?
She was now certain that Su Luo and Ellie's relationship was definitely not ordinary; this series of actions was truly extraordinary.
Despite his resentment, Su Luo was, after all, his boss.
Leila still held Ellie's hand and reluctantly helped her up.
Su Luo felt increasingly uncomfortable under the strange looks from those around him and gave the order.
"I have something to do, you guys continue."
Everyone nodded, "Okay, okay."
After Su Luo reached the door, she turned back and gave the director some instructions.
"Let Ellie rest for a day, and come back after her facial injuries have healed."
The director readily agreed, "No problem."
After Su Luo left, Leila disdainfully let go of Ellie's hand. So what if she had a good relationship with Su Luo? At most, Ellie was just a mistress.
His real girlfriend is Ye Xiaoman. If you really push her too far, she'll expose Ellie and Su Luo's affair to Ye Xiaoman and make things difficult for everyone.
She was still extremely resentful; she found girls who climbed the ladder through connections the most disgusting.
Seeing Leila's attitude, Ellie leaned close to her ear and whispered something.
"Sister, if you're not in the zone next time, I won't hold back!"
Leila gritted her teeth and retorted in a low voice.
"I won't show you any mercy either. Don't think I'm really afraid of you!"
Ellie smiled gently.
We'll see about that!
Leila glared at her angrily and strode towards the door.
Ellie smiled and said goodbye to the director and staff, then quickly left the room.
However, she didn't go home immediately. She asked her staff and found out that Su Luo had already returned to the company.
She ran to a nearby shop and bought a strawberry cake, then knocked on Su Luo's office door with the cake in hand.
Su Luo was slumped over her seat, staring blankly at the photo of herself and Nini on the table.
Hearing the knock, he asked in a deep voice.
"who?"
Ellie said nervously, "It's me, President Su."
Su Luo was secretly surprised, thinking that Ellie would definitely go home to rest, and said slowly.
"Come in."
Ellie breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door, walked in confidently, and closed the door behind her.
Su Luo asked gently.
"What's up?"
Ellie licked her lips, smiled, and leaned forward to place the milk tea on Su Luo's desk, smiling as she spoke.
"I came here specifically to thank President Su. I was really touched that you stood up for me just now."
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but Su Luo seemed to speak to others in a cold and indifferent manner.
Only when talking to myself am I very gentle, excessively gentle, as if I'm afraid that raising my voice will scare myself.
Su Luo politely declined.
"You're welcome. I didn't stand up for you; I was just doing things my own way."
"Take the cake back with you, I appreciate the thought."
Ellie pouted.
"Whatever your motives, you did help me, so I should express my gratitude."
"If you don't like the cake, I can take it back."
As Ellie mentioned the cake, her expression changed instantly, and she smiled broadly.
"Then let me treat you to dinner. I know a really good restaurant."
"I……"
Su Luo wanted to refuse, but there seemed to be some kind of magical force that made her unable to refuse Ellie's request.
She felt that if he rejected her again, she would burst into tears the next second, just like she had just been on set, where tears would come at any moment.
So, he said helplessly.
"Okay, this is the only time, and it won't happen again."
"Yay!"
Ellie was extremely excited.
"Let's go now, you're about to get off work."
Su Luo had no choice but to give up. "Fine."
So this girl planned this all along, she even calculated his off-get off work time. The cake was probably just a pretext; her real intention was to have dinner with him.
