337 What Answer Do You Want?


    “E, what happened? Why did you get a subpoena?” Luca asked frantically as soon as E picked up the phone from him.


    “Subpoena?” E repeated those words with a confused look. She had forgotten about her phone call with Nissa Putri this afternoon. “What summons?” She asked back.


    Christian frowned upon hearing E’s conversation. He didn’t ask much. He just waited patiently until the conversation was over.


    Luca exined anxiously, “Just now, awyer contacted me and told me that there was an important document for you, but he couldn’t reach you. I had a feeling there was something odd about it that I thought it was sent the wrong way. I opened it and read it, but the letter was really addressed to you. It was said that you imitated a painting by Nissa Putri.”


    “Nissa Putri?” E’s hand that was holding her cell phone trembled slightly.


    She was really angry now.


    At first, she thought she was just looking for trouble by scaring her so that E didn’t think much of it. But it turned out that the woman actually carried out her threat.


    Luca thought E didn’t know Nissa so he tried to exin to her, “Nissa Putri is a rising illustrator. She has a lot of fans.”


    “I know. She called me earlier,” said E.


    .....


    Luca was surprised to hear that. “She called you? What’s the real problem?”


    “She told me to admit that I giarized her work and quit painting,” E said with a snort. “She also asked me for money aspensation for not taking this matter to court. Otherwise, she won’t let me work in this city.”


    Luca gasped. He was not surprised because what Nissa said was so cruel. In fact, he felt very sorry for the woman.


    The woman didn’t know that E was someone Christian was protecting. It seemed that the woman who had just risen to the top was looking to kill her own career soon…


    E thought Luca was worried about her so she said, “It’s okay. She’s just talking big. I don’t think much of it.”


    Luca came back to his senses and asked, “Then what are you going to do?”


    “Someone told her to do this,” E said confidently.


    Nissa wouldn’t suddenly look for trouble with her for no reason. Why was Nissa suddenly looking for an unknown painter who sold her paintings at low prices? What could Nissa get from an amateur painter like E?


    Luca thought for a moment and in the end, he agreed to E’s critical thinking. He also felt that Nissa couldn’t possibly do this randomly, without someone telling her to.


    “Brother, there’s no need to worry so much about me,” E said casually. “Just leave it. Wait for her to take the initiative toe face to face with me.’


    Luca felt much more relieved when he heard E’s confident answer. Even though he had just met E, he already considered E his best friend, or even his own sister.


    “In that case, fine then. You have to be careful. Call me if you need anything.”


    “Thanks for calling me,” after saying that, E hung up.


    She tilted her head and thought for a moment. She felt that there were only two people who could do this, namely Indri and Nadia.


    But remembering how small Indri’s brain was, E felt sure that her step sister couldn’t think of such an idea. Is it possible that all of these are ideas and suggestions from Merry?


    Or maybe, Nadia is the one behind it all?


    E looked at the man beside her and said, “Christian, your ex-fianceé seems to be after me.”


    Ex-fianceé…


    Unknowingly, Christian’s lips twitched. First, he was already annoyed that a call had interrupted his dinner with E. Second, something happened to E. Third, it seemed that this had something to do with him.


    He looked at E and asked seriously, “What is it?”


    “Today, an illustrator contacted me and said that I had copied her work. Just now she gave me a subpoena through Brother Luca.” E didn’t hide it at all.


    After she finished saying that, E lowered her head and ate the steak that was on the table as if nothing had happened to her.


    Even the taste of the steak was still very delicious in her mouth.


    Christian looked at E intently and realized that this woman in front of him was not worried about her fate.


    “Who?” Christian asked.


    How dare this person use his woman! Is she looking to die?


    Getting into trouble with E was the same as looking for trouble with Christian!


    E rolled her eyes, feeling everything was so ridiculous. Most likely, all this happened because of Nadia, because she was jealous of her being chosen by Christian.


    She looked at Christian with a smile and asked, “Christian, if I get into trouble, will you help me?”


    E’s eyes stared straight at Christian.


    Don’t me her. Isabe Maheswara is not a nice woman.Even if she was called a criminal, she would not let anyone who sought trouble with her get away with it.


    The woman deliberately wanted to challenge her. So, E will not hesitate to show her cruelty.


    “Yes,” Christian answered. Helping E was such a small matter for him that he didn’t hesitate in answering. But…


    “How are you going to repay me?”


    E’s cheerful face instantly turned dim. How should she repay Christian who was willing to help her?


    “What do you want from me in return?”


    “I want you to wear your old secretary outfit,” Christian said seriously, eating his steak nonchntly.


    E stared at Christian’s handsome face that was hidden in the dim light of the candle. Even though she couldn’t see her own face, she knew that her cheeks were currently flushing red from the heat that also reached her ears.


    “Is there any other choice?” E didn’t want to wear those clothes anymore.


    “Waitress attire,” Christian quickly gave another choice.


    E was frustrated to hear that and she said, “You did it on purpose!” Her lips were pouting as she pouted in annoyance.


    Her spoiled tone made Christian’s hands stop moving.


    He looked at E and the corners of his lips curved. “So what if I did it on purpose?”


    He got to his feet and walked toward E with eyes filled with passion that he didn’t hide. He lifted her chin and kissed her lips.


    The dinner on the table was only partially touched. Even their stomachs were not fully filled. But Christian had already taken E to his room.


    Tonight, Christian had been very gentle with E. Unlike when he released his passion repeatedly until E was exhausted.


    This time, he thought more about E, not wanting her to be too exhausted.


    After finishing making love to E, he took a warm towel to clean her body. He also took E to the bathtub and took a warm bath together to rx the tense muscles in her body. He did all this so that E’s body would not be too sore.


    However, while giving her a bath, Christian bit E’s lip and said, “I’m looking forward to it tomorrow night.”


    “You…” E looked at Christian in disbelief. Her eyes looked red as she looked at Christian with a pitiful face.


    The stare made Christian chuckle. He stroked her head gently.


    It was rare for E to hear Christian’sughter. His smile almost blinds E’s eyes.


    …


    The next morning, E received a call from Nissa. She was still so sleepy that she grabbed her phone with her eyes half closed.


    While answering the call, she found afortable position in Christian’s arms.


    “Hello?”
