374 An Unexpected Cooperation


    E turned towards the door when she heard a familiar ringing tone. It wasn’t her phone or Luca’s.


    “Let’s go eat.” Christian is standing in front of the studio door with his cell phone in hand. He stood up straight and his head looked slightly raised, looking proud.


    E narrowed her eyes and looked at Christian in annoyance. This man didn’t pick up her phone and suddenly appeared there.


    Meanwhile, Luca who was on the side couldn’t help but smile at the sight of these two.


    Many people say that E doesn’t deserve Christian. But ording to him, only E can make a man as arrogant as Christian show different emotions than just a stoic face.


    Only E could turn someone as cold as Christian soft and warm.


    Only E could bring such an indifferent person as Christian to pay attention more.


    Seeing E motionless, Christian approached her impatiently. He looked at the canvas in front of E and said, “You’ve been in the studio all day, but your painting progress is still like this?”


    On the canvas, there are only rough sketches that are not clearly visible.


    .....


    Christian knows what’s bothering E right now. He reached out his hand to gently stroke her head. “You contacted me because of Liam’s problem, right?”


    E was shy because Christian spoiled her in front of Luca. She wasn’t used to getting this kind of attention in front of other people. “Not his problem, but mine,” she answered in a low voice.


    “Is Liam’s problem the same as yours?” Christian repeated it in a sinister tone. He looked at E with a sharp gaze. “Is he that important to you? Who is more important, me or him?”


    E had already agreed to have a rtionship with him. Why is this woman still thinking about other men?


    E feels helpless as she listens to Christian’s question.


    “You are more important.” If she dared to say otherwise, Christian would be furious.


    After hearing that answer from E’s mouth, Christian’s expression softened a little.


    “Come and eat with me.”


    E shook her head. How could she possibly eat in peace now?


    “What do you think Indri is nning?” She asked Christian.


    “What do you think?” Christian threw the question back at E instead. His eyebrows rose as he looked at E with a surprised look.


    Sometimes, this woman is so smart that it blows him away. But some other times, this woman can also be so oblivious.


    “If I had known, I wouldn’t have asked you,” E said, looking at Christian in annoyance. Why is this man always throwing the question back at her?


    “Are you stupid?” Christian’s hand that was stroking E’s head stopped moving. He turned to Luca and asked, “If you wanted to meet a woman every day and keep in touch with her, what would that mean?”


    Luca felt helpless at being involved in this conversation all of a sudden. He didn’t want to interfere, but he couldn’t just ignore Christian’s question either. Finally, he answered honestly, “It means I like her.”


    “Did you hear that?” Christian tapped E’s forehead gently. “There’s no need to worry about the woman chasing Liam.”


    After saying that, he grabbed E’s arm and led her to stand up. He took her tiny hand and wanted to ask her out. “Liam’s family has urged him to get married. Indri wants to marry him. Wouldn’t that benefit all parties?”


    If that really happened, Liam would definitely suffer a lot.


    But Christian feels no sympathy at all. Who told a man to want a woman?


    E doesn’t understand what Christian means. But she could see from Christian’s demeanor that he felt this matter waspletely unimportant. “What does it mean to benefit all parties?”


    “To the benefit of all…” Christian turns and looks at E’s face, making E’s heart beat faster.


    The man brought his lips to E’s ear and continued, “He will get a wife and my love rival will be reduced by one.”


    The hoarse voice made E speechless. Her face flushes red when she feels Christian’s warm breath on her neck.


    Christian swallowed his saliva when he saw E’s cute face. This woman is really like a flower that blooms beautifully.


    He really wanted this woman, right now. But unfortunately, the timing wasn’t right.


    Luca felt very embarrassed and ufortable. This was his studio, but why did it feel like this room belonged to Christian and E?


    Can’t they make out somewhere else? This affects him as well as his business!


    Christian takes a deep breath and looks around him. He took a good look at the studio and said, “This ce is too small.”


    There was no ce for him to make love to E right now.


    “Christian!”


    How could E not understand Christian’s intentions? This man’s mind is so dirty!


    Looking at the blush on E’s cheeks made Christian smile happily. He put his arm around E’s shoulders and led her out of the room. “Let’s go eat. What do you want to eat?”


    In just a second, Christian had turned into a gentle and caring man.


    E could only look at him in surprise. She followed Christian to his car which was parked outside. On the way, she remembered the first question that had bothered her.


    Christian didn’t take her seriously just now!


    “What is the real purpose of Indri wanting to marry Liam?” E is sure that Indri doesn’t really want Liam.


    Just a moment ago, Indri was so infatuated with Haikal. But in no time, she changed her target to Liam.


    Christian gets annoyed every time he hears Liam’s name from E’s mouth. “Haikal has kicked her out. The best option for her right now is to marry Liam. More importantly, by getting Liam, she thinks she can outdo you in everything.”


    E nodded a few times when she heard Christian’s answer. His exnation makes a lot of sense.


    “Then, wouldn’t that be dangerous for Liam?”


    “What’s dangerous? He is a grown man.”


    Christian took E’s hand and led her into the car.


    Not long after E left the studio, several handymen suddenly came into the studio and kicked Luca out.


    Luca could only stand in front of his studio while still carrying his painting brush with a confused look.


    From the look of it, Luca knew that these people were Christian’s men. He didn’t understand why these people had suddenlye there.


    But Luca couldn’t do anything, he could only stand in his ce looking at his studio in a daze.


    …


    In the evening, Liam got a call from his family.


    His family got a call about a pretty important co-worker in town, which could make their business grow. Therefore, Liam’s parents told him to meet the person tomorrow.


    Liam’s secretary immediately gave Liam a document regarding the cooperation n.


    Liam opened the document and immediately frowned when he saw the name of thepany.


    Soetanto Company.


    Nadia Soetanto? What did this woman want?


    “Liam, this is an excellent opportunity for our family. We have to make good use of it!”
