The Naughty Wife of the CEO

When Ella returned to the office, she saw a takeaway on her desk.

It was then she remembered that she had not even had dinner.

She looked at the takeaway and then glanced around. She found that the colleagues who had worked overtime had already been off duty. Who had paid for the takeaway for her?

She thought of the takeaway ordered for Daniel, then hurried to his office.

Seeing the light was still burning in the office, Ella took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in." The voice was cool.

Ella came in and saw Daniel was working in front of the computer, so she said quietly, "Excuse me, Daniel, did you pay for my takeaway?" Daniel did not look up. "Yes."

"Thank you, then I gave you the money." Ella said. She took out the money prepared from the pocket.

Hearing this, he looked up and casually said, "Just put the money on the table."

"Well, okay."

After that, Ella started to leave, but Daniel suddenly said, "Where have you been? I looked for you twice, but you were not in the office." Looking for her?

She froze for a moment, then thought of an excuse. "Oh, I just went downstairs. One of my friends wanted to talk to me for something." Daniel stared at her for a few seconds, then said in a cold voice, "Leave before finishing your work. I need to use your pictures in an hour." "Okay, no problem." She hadn't put the finished pictures in the shared folder before, but now there was only one left.

Ella returned to her seat, just took a few bites of food, then began to work.

Forty minutes later, the picture was finished, then she put the ten pictures together into the shared folder. She went to Daniel's office to say goodbye, and then left the company. Outside the company building, Ella saw a black BMW. Normally it won't catch her attention, unfortunately, she saw the familiar license plate number. The car belonged to Benjamin.

She froze for a while. She hadn't answered his phone, but she knew Benjamin came for her, so she went over.

At this time, Benjamin opened the window. Seeing her, his handsome face had a smile. "Mom let me pick you off work. She saw your car at home, and said it is not safe for a woman to go back home alone at night."

Ella didn't change her expression. "She had never been so worried before, and it is common for me to work overtime."

Her words made Benjamin's smile disappear. He just got off.

He walked to her side, opened the passenger car door for Ella, and calmly said, "Get in. My mother has made soup at home. She's still waiting for us to go back home."

Ella was certainly unwilling to go back home to cheat Ruby with Benjamin.

"Benjamin, though she hasn't known about our divorce, she will still know it sooner or later. You can't hide it forever. I'll go back to Alice's. You just tell her I'm still working and don't wait for me. Then go to bed early." She calmly said. Ella was still waiting for Benjamin to answer, but her phone rang.

Ella took it out and found the call was from Benjamin's mother Ruby James. She hesitated for a moment, but still answered it.

"Hello, Ella. Has Benjamin met you?"

Ella looked at Benjamin and replied, "Yeah."

Ruby smiled. "That's good. You two go back home soon. I'm making soup. When you get home, it's time to drink it."

Benjamin grabbed Ella's mobile phone and said, "Mom, we will go back soon."

Then he hung the phone up.

Ella was kind of angry. "Why did you make decision for me!"

"I've come to pick you up, surely I can't come here for nothing? Besides, I've just said that to my mother. If you don't go back home with me, my mother will certainly keep asking about it. She won't stay there for a long time. You just keep our divorce as a secret from her. I have a lot of business these days. I don't have time to deal with her if my mother quiz about it." Benjamin's tone was softer this time.

His words made Ella speechless. Her fury disappeared.

If their divorce was suddenly known by Ruby, then she may even take the argument to her mom. It will only be more troublesome.

She thought about it for half a minute and eventually agreed to get in.

Benjamin's BMW left, and a Maybach parked in the shadows had seen the scene.

Aiden sat in the car with a cigarette between his fingers. He had seen Ella get on the Benjamin's car.

There was coldness in those unfathomable dark eyes.

***

When Benjamin and Ella arrived home, they saw Ruby in an apron was in the kitchen. She stood at the table, and was busy preparing for the chicken wings which she was going to cook at noon tomorrow. Seeing Benjamin and Ella came back, Ruby smiled, "Well, wash your hands, and I'll bring out the soup."

Ella had complicated feelings. She tried to smile, "Ruby, it's so late, why don't you go to sleep?"

"Alas, it's still early, I can't fall asleep. Besides, I want to cook some dishes that you all love! Ella, Benjamin has told me that you've gone to work in a big company. You've just been working there for a short time, but you have to work overtime so frequently! In this way, how will you have time to be Benjamin's side?" Ruby grew to be discontent. The smile on her face gradually lost.

Ella had gotten used to Ruby's attitude.

She pretended to be polite to her, but keep giving her problems.

Thinking of the current relationship between Benjamin and her, she said nothing, just glanced at Benjamin, then went into the bathroom to wash hands.

When she closed the door, Ruby put on a hardened look, and said to Benjamin, "Look at her, what attitude! I feel sorry for her working overtime and sacrifice my sleep to make soup for you at home, but she does not even give thanks!" Benjamin always submitted himself to Ruby's wishes, so he said, "Mom, don't let it bother you. Because of overtime, she's tired and in a bad mood."

"Benjamin, I'm not questioning you, but now you're already a boss of a company! You can surely support her. Why do you let her work outside! I saw nothing in your fridge and I knew you didn't eat at home. You are so busy. As your wife, she does not even take care of you! I feel so sorry for you..."

"What's the point of having a wife to you? She only makes peanuts. Why can't she just stay at home?"

Ruby had been unhappy with her daughter-in-law's decision to go out to work, She only hoped that Ella could be a good wife and a good mother, focusing on taking care of her son Benjamin." Hearing these words, Ella felt kind of uncomfortable.

She made her own living. Although she did not earn as much as Benjamin, but she was also working for the family.

But to Ruby, all her efforts were nothing.

But now, her efforts had nothing to do with the family.

Ella took a deep breath, walked out of the bathroom, pretending not to hear those words.

She walked to the table and saw Ruby had put the soup on the table, said, "Thank you, Ruby."

Ruby held a spoon in hand and sat beside Benjamin. She blew the soup in the spoon, said in a cold tone, "Ella, if you really want to thank me, give Johnson family a boy!"
