Chapter 22: She Knows Many Things


    E couldn’t escape Christian’s gaze. The man stood on the edge of the bed, but the woman in front of him waspletely unaware of his existence.


    E had just woken up and looked... stupid.


    The words crossed her mind, causing her lips to curl into a faint smile.


    It took a while before E finally realized Christian’s whereabouts. She was startled and subconsciously crouched back. After that, sheined. “You scared me to death, lurking in the morning like this...”


    “Huh?”


    “Eh, I mean, early in the morning, you’re suddenly standing by the bed. What are you doing now?”


    E looked at Christian while rubbing her face. Her eyes narrowed, trying to wake up from her drowsiness. E who just woke up looked very seductive in Christian’s eyes.


    .....


    Most of the bruises on her neck had faded. If the ointment was applied one more time, the bruises would disappear immediately.


    E waited for an answer from Christian, but it didn’te and made her even more anxious. She shouldn’t have ruined the precious opportunity she hadst night!


    “Christian, what’s wrong?” E lifted the nket she was using and approached Christian. Then she held his hand.


    Christian’s eyes fell on E’s neck.


    At that moment, E realized what Christian was thinking. The man was thinking about the bruises on E’s neck- the reason why he pursed his lips.


    What annoyed him even more was that he didn’t like the bruises, the one he had created with his own hands.


    E raised her hand to cover her neck. “If you hate it, don’t look.”


    When E said this, she had already averted her eyes and pulled her hand from Christian’s arm.


    “Did I say I hate it?”


    Christian didn’t understand what E was thinking. He threw the ointment he bought yesterday at her. “Use this.”


    E looked at the ointment in amazement. After that, she frowned.


    What a bad man!


    She nodded and took the medicine. After that, she immediately went to the bathroom.


    However, she was surprised to see that the bruises on her neck weren’t too obvious.


    She knew very well that she had the type of skin that got red and irritated easily. The bruises shouldn’t be that faint considering how tight Christian’s grip wasst night.


    Could it be that Christian gave her ointmentst night?


    As this thought crossed her mind, she immediately shook her head again.


    It would have been better if Christian had not applied the ointment on her in the first ce.


    Worried that Christian would be impatient and wait outside too long, E quickly took a shower and applied the ointment before opening the door and walking outside.


    She was still in her bathrobe and looking for her work clothes fromst night. However, no matter where she looked, she couldn’t find the shirt.


    Christian saw E circling the room and said, “I threw it away.”


    ‘I only have that shirt!’ E screamed in her heart, but she didn’t dare say it.


    “As long as you’re happy. It’s up to you,” she mumbled.


    “Ah? I didn’t expect you to be this understanding.”


    Christian noticed that what came out of E’s mouth and the expression on her face was different.


    “Hmm... I am kind, actually.”


    E walked over to Christian. She took his arm and leaned on his shoulder. “I am kind and understanding. If I were your woman, I wouldn’t be looking for trouble and devote myself to you. I will not reveal my identity. I will alwayse when you call me. Are you sure you don’t want me?” She said spoiledly.


    In order to achieve her wish, E was willing to do anything, including what she just said.


    Without waiting for Christian’s response, she continued, “I’m not going to get pregnant and give birth to a child to threaten you. You don’t have to worry about having an illegitimate childpeting with your son for inheritance. And for all that, you just need to help me a little. How?”


    “You know a lot of things.”


    Christian had a son and it’s no secret.


    But this woman seemed to know him well.


    “To be your woman, of course I have to know.”


    E kissed Christian’s lips gently. “Aren’t you going to give it a try? I know you can’t forget me.”


    “Deal.”


    Christian touched E’s chin and stroked it gently.


    It’s a shame for this woman to approach him, but Christian just ignored her. Plus, Christian wanted to have this woman.


    He, Christian Adipamungkas, was not a generous man.


    If E was willing to be his toy to get a little help from him, how could he refuse?


    E’s eyes lit up.


    Deal? Did that mean she managed to get this rare opportunity?


    She couldn’t afford to ask the question, but Christian knew what made her confused.


    “Yes.”


    E’s breath hitched. The feelings that filled her heart right now weren’t easy to control.


    “Are you sure?”


    “Why? You want me to regret my decision?”


    “Of course not,” said E quickly. “Any requirements?”


    Even now, E had allowed Christian to speak first. No matter what the conditions were, no even if she would be the losing side in this one, E needed it!


    “I won’t give you any money.”


    Christian squinted his eyes and observed E’s expression.


    E didn’t mind this. The more she owed Christian, the harder it would be to escape himter. Bargaining with that demon-like man was tantamount to surrendering to death.


    “You can’t go out to work at night.”


    That was the second condition that Christian gave her.


    Jealousy red in his heart as he imagined that many men were looking at her in such revealing clothes.


    E was his woman and only he could have her. Only he could see her.


    How could he let E walk out there with so many wolf eyes looking at her?


    He would not let anyone want what he had.


    “I can’t. I need money.”


    Is this guy kidding?


    Christian had no intention of giving her money and wanted to cut off her source of ie?


    If he didn’t want to give her money, at least he shouldn’t forbid her from working!


    “You can work somewhere else.”


    Christian knew his request was unreasonable, but he didn’t want to see E at the bar. So, he made concessions to his requirements.


    “The sry at the bar is very high.”


    E still wouldn’t give up.


    Christian already had everything. He had no idea how hard it was to make money, especially for someone who had just been released from a mental hospital.


    Nobody wanted to give a job to a madman.


    It would be strange if there was apany that would ept her.


    Seeing Christian’s face turning cold, E immediately took his arm and pleaded spoiledly.


    “You know I can’t work in a bigpany. I don’t have a degree in higher education. I have to pay rent, bills for water and electricity, buy clothes, and eat... I need a lot of money...” She said pitifully.
