Chapter 24
Chapter 24: My IQ Is Not That Low
“Then let me ask you. If you are the most beautiful woman here, if you are the greatest here, why didn’t Christian choose you? Why did he choose me instead?”
Lisa’s face paled when she heard Ella’s words. After that, her expression changed, as if filled with shame and anger.
A new person who had only worked a few days at her workplace dared to treat her like this!
“You...” She looked at Ella in annoyance. Her anger was so intense that it seemed as if blood rose to her eyes, making the whites of her eyes redden. Her pretty face disappeared, replaced by a scary look.
Where was her usually sweet and gentle appearance?
Ella glanced at her and then averted her gaze casually. If Lisa’s customers saw her like this, could they all still like her?
The more Ella ignored her, the angrier Lisa became.
.....
“Let me tell you, you are no better than me!”
How many years had she spent working in this place? How could the status that she had built to be the best in this place be shaken with just beauty alone?
So what if Ella and Christian spent one night together? After all, Christian only wanted to taste her for one night.
At the thought of this, the anger on Lisa’s face slowly disappeared.
Ella noticed Lisa’s change and subconsciously frowned.
She was no longer the innocent girl she was five years ago. And she knew very well that the change in Lisa’s expression didn’t mean she would stop bothering her.
She didn’t want to stay there any longer and was about to leave, but Lisa grabbed her wrist.
“Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you scared?”
A glint of arrogance appeared in Lisa’s eyes.
“There’s no use begging for mercy now. Let me tell you, I won’t let you go.”
“I know,” Ella shrugged nonchalantly. “Changing the expression on your face doesn’t mean I don’t understand what you’re thinking. My IQ isn’t that low.”
Even though Ella didn’t say it clearly, she really wanted to offend Lisa.
She seemed to want to say that she was not stupid like Lisa.
Lisa’s face turned from pale to green. She had no words to reply to Ella. She could only let go of Ella’s hand and leave a sentence before leaving.
“Let’s see later!”
After that, she waltzed away in her high heels.
Ella paid no attention to this small incident. She started getting ready for work. But because of Christian, there’s nothing she could do today.
Although the other waiters were busy pacing and taking orders from table to table, she just stood idly by while gazing at the shimmering lights.
On the stage, a woman with blonde hair was singing a song. After the song was finished, the guests immediately gave a lot of tips to her very generously.
Ella looked at her enviously. Her heart ached.
She managed to be Christian’s woman, but she still needed money, especially the money from the tips she got after serving the table.
If she could only depend on the salary from this job, when would she be able to raise enough money to buy proper clothes to accompany Christian?
Although she could avoid problems with customers, especially the masculine men, her current income was very low.
Lisa kept watching Ella who was in the corner. She looked at her with bloodshot eyes and tightly clenched fists.
Of course she knew how their manager treated Ella in a special way.
And all this because that bitch got close to Christian!
Damn it! Why was she not as lucky as that woman?
“Lisa, why are you so angry?”
A woman walked up to her with a smile. She embraced Lisa very casually as if they were close friends.
Lisa often accompanied all kinds of men, especially the big bosses, so everyone who worked at the bar respected her. This woman named Fera was no exception.
Fera smiled and said, “Who dares to make you upset like this?”
“That one. That shameless bitch over there.” said Lisa irritably.
Lisa snorted and then looked at Fera who was wearing a black suit beside her. “That woman makes my eyes hurt.”
When talking about Ella, Lisa gritted her teeth furiously.
“She?”
Fera looked at Ella. “Isn’t she the woman Christian chose last night? Of course she would be arrogant. But it won’t last long. Anyway, you’ve been working here for so long, why don’t you understand this still?”
Fera looked at Ella from head to toe and said, “Still, it’s no wonder Christian wants her for the night.”
Even though Christian wasn’t a regular at the bar, he visited there quite often. But whenever he came there, he would never bring a woman. The man didn’t even bat an eye no matter how hard these women tried to get his attention.
This was very strange indeed.
You could say, Ella was the first woman he had ever wanted.
To their surprise, Ella was a newcomer with no experience who managed to get close to someone like Christian.
Lisa snorted in annoyance. “Tch! She must’ve used dark magic to get him!”
“But you have to admit that the woman is beautiful,” Fera said, shrugging her shoulders.
Even though Ella had only been working there for a few days, she was already attracting enough attention. There were quite a number of people who secretly asked her price even though Ella didn’t actually sell herself.
Unfortunately, the men didn’t get the chance because Christian got Ella first.
While listening to Fera’s words, Lisa became more and more annoyed and said angrily, “Who knows if her face is real or a result of surgery?”
“Why are you fussing with her?” Fera asked helplessly, trying to succumb to Lisa’s bad temper.
So what if Ella’s face was the result of plastic surgery? If Christian chose her, it only proved her success.
“I can’t accept this.” Lisa looked at Ella angrily. “She laughed at me. How could I let her live in peace!”
Biting her lower lip in annoyance, she continued to stare at Ella. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she came up with an idea. “How about we ask her to ‘have some fun’?”
The ‘have fun’ that Lisa meant sounded like a really bad idea to Fera’s ears.
She knew that Lisa wanted to send Ella to some men who wanted her.
“Forget about your plan. She belongs to Christian...”
Before Fera could finish speaking, Lisa interrupted her, “If Christian really cared about her, how could she go back to work here? You know how Christian is, right?”
Christian didn’t like being touched by random people, including women. He also did not want everything he owned to be touched by others.
If Christian returned Ella to this place, it meant that Christian didn’t care about her.
Perhaps, Ella was just a speck of sand interfering with Lisa’s view.
