Adrian’s narrowed eyes lowered slightly as his fingers held a pen.
The pen split into half and in the process, it cut the man’s hand.
Ji Yan closed his eyes. Miss Yu, Miss Yu! How could you refuse so swiftly? Your exams just ended and you must be free. Isn’t it obvious that you are avoiding the second master?
Even if you are not, that’s what the great devil is going to believe, ah! Lord, have mercy!
"In fact, I have something to tell you..."
Adrian’s face darkened. The corner of his eyes turned red.
Since the office was so quiet, Ji Yan could hear everything. And the moment he heard Ella’s words, and met with Adrian’s expressions, his heart dropped to the pits of his stomach.
This confessional voice... Isn’t this how the girl tells the boy—’I have something to tell you... I have been thinking of it for a while now. I like someone else. My one true love can never be you!’
"I have been thinking of it for a while now..."
As Ella continued, Ji Yan jumped. Even the lines were same.
Adrian’s jaw clenched, a vicious cloud formed above his head.
"I want to make my own money," Ella finished her words.
The violent winds calmed down. Ji Yan’s dropped heart gradually realigned.
Adrian’s clouded face regained a hint of clarity, "Make... money?" The man mumbled softly.
"Yes, the reason I did not tell you about it before was because I was afraid that you would not agree. But now, I have given it a thought..." Ella paused.
The darkness in the office room slowly dispersed, "Oh?"
"I know you have a lot of money but baby, you never know what the future holds. What if you lose all your money?"
Adrian’s lips twitched.
Ji Yan was terrified. Miss Yu, can you not jinx Second Master’s wealth?!
On the other side, Ella did not think she was saying anything wrong, "Forget losing money. What if you don’t feel like working in the future?"
"I can still feed you."
Ella: "_" Hey, hey, am I a pig in your eyes?
’’But baby, having more money doesn’t hurt right? If I earn, I can also pamper you then you pamper me!" Moreover, the dynamics of the King Family was far too complicated.
Although Adrian was the heir, many people wanted to uproot him from his position. Not to mention Kade, that ticking time bomb that had yet to show his true colors.
If Adrian wanted to stay out of all these politics in the future, Ella did not mind lending him a hand.
The man sounded curious so Ella elaborated, "Of course, you can count on me. I will protect you and feed you. If I have something, I can fulfill all your whims too," She could treat him like the high-maintenance princess that he was!
Adrian remained silent.
Ella cleared her throat, "I will discuss my plans with you soon."
Ella cut him off quickly, "As for meeting Grandma, let’s keep it for Sunday, shall we? We can discuss the rest of the things when we meet."
Ella’s fingers curled around the arm of the couch.
After a moment, the man uttered a ’Mm’.
Ella’s grip loosened on the couch.
Even after the call was disconnected, Ella felt a little weak in her limbs.
She knew that she could not hide her plans and actions from Adrian. Sooner or later, he would come to know about them. So, she never planned to hide anything.
But just now, she had been ready for his straight up refusal.
A lot of things have changed between them in the past months. And the way Ella looked at him had somewhat changed too.
However, as she had told him, she was unwilling to be his sweet canary.
And the point was, Ella did not know how far he was willing to let her fly.
When Ella opened the door, a middle-aged man greeted her with a smile, "Miss Yu."
To stay somewhat low-key, Ella had not put up her full name in the ’sell and buy’ website. But she only went with her surname.
Ella smiled at the man, "I have already prepared your order. One second."
Ella grabbed an exquisite designer bag and showed it to him.
The man received the bag from her hand and examined it closely, "That’s almost perfect."
Ella blinked, feeling like something was amiss.
"Miss, where can I pay you?"
Ella opened the code on her phone, "Just scan this..."
In her mind, she was one step away from twirling. Sure enough, she was born a genius.
Her idea was working already. Once she sold all her stuff, she would have enough money to focus on her future plans.
Her daydreams came to an abrupt halt when the man turned his phone towards her, "Here, the money is sent!’’
"$300?" Ella inhaled a breath. Doubtfully, she pulled out her phone. "Sir, I think you typed the wrong amount."
"No, no, this is the price you posted," the man frowned.
Ella turned her phone towards him, "Sir, it’s clearly $300,000."
"Hmm? Isn’t that comma written mistakenly instead of a period?"
The price of the bag: $300,000—Three hundred thousand dollars.
The price of the bag in the man’s mind: $300.000—Three hundred dollars and zero cents.
"Miss, are you out here to scam people?" When the man realized that Ella had not put up that price mistakenly, he immediately tugged at the bag, stretching it around in disbelief, "Who is going to pay that much for a dupe?!"
Ella’s eyes widened, "Wait. Don’t pull it..."
The man shoved the bag into her arms, "Quickly pay back my money. Hmph, there are all kind of scammers out here these days!"
Ella opened her mouth, "Sir, this isn’t a fake..."
"This isn’t a fake? Then, I am an alien! Who would put up real designer bags on a website where people sell their broken watches?! Do I look like a fool?"
