Ch. 1..10

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 1

Bella’s POV

Last night, I had a sex with a strange man.

I’m not a random woman. I did this because I was too sad yesterday.

The boyfriend who had been in love with me for three years said that I was not gentle, considerate, and sexy.

Then he turned around and went to England with a rich girl.

Although I’m very strong in front of my friends, I’m really sad.

In order to ease my mood, I went to the bar alone and drank a lot.

I met that man in the bar. I don’t even remember his appearance.

At this time, I heard the sound of running water. It was the sound of him taking a shower in the bathroom.

I slowly opened my eyes.

It was a luxurious guest room. The morning sun shone on the messy sheets, underwear, clothes, and shoes on the carpet.

I looked down at the clear kiss marks on the naked body under the quilt, and there was a faint pain in my lower body.

All of this reminded me of the intensity between me and that strange man last night.

I grabbed my long hair, and some memory fragments rushed into my mind. Almost all of them were pictures of me being pressed under the man’s body and violently hit.

It had to be said that men’s skills were not bad…

Oh, no, it was not the time to think about this problem.

I’ve never had such an experience sleeping with strangers. At this moment, I don’t know how to face all this.

Maybe I should run away now, before he finds me.

I got up from the bed, put on my clothes, took my bag, and walked to the door.

But at this time, the bathroom door opened.

A super handsome man came out the bathroom.

He had thick golden hair and a handsome face. Through his loose bathrobe, one could vaguely see his sexy and strong chest muscles.

My heart beat faster uncontrollably.

This man is much better-looking than that scumbag’s ex-boyfriend.

The image of our sex last night appeared in my mind again. He hugged me, stroked me, and kissed me… My cheeks suddenly became hot.

I shook my head and forced myself to stop thinking about those scenes. In order to calm down as soon as possible, I fanned myself with my hands, but it was useless.

Compared with my restlessness, the man’s performance was very calm.

When I looked at him, I could feel that he was looking at me from head to toe, as if he was looking at a product.

I saw the corner of his mouth twitched and showed a disdainful expression. Why did he show such an expression to me?

At this time, he suddenly walked to the bedside and reached out to pick up his wallet.

There was a thick stack of cash in his wallet, and I immediately woke up.

What does it mean? Slept with me for one night, so paid me?

Treating me like a prostitute?

It was too insulting!

I decided to fight back!

I immediately took out the only 150 dollars from my bag and threw them on the bed sheet before he could.

I crossed my arms in front of my chest, pretending to be calm. I looked up at him and said in a picky tone, “Although you are very handsome, your physical strength is not good and your skills are poor, so it’s only worth a little money!”

I said that on purpose. After all, when facing a man who wanted to humiliate me, I didn’t want to expose that I only had a little money now.

“What did you say?” The man questioned me with a strong tone of anger.

I’d already said those words, so I couldn’t take them back.

So no matter how embarrassed I was at the moment, I still had to force myself to keep calm.

In order to put on a more realistic act, I went up and patted him on the shoulder. In a very serious tone, I said, “I suggest you give me a discount first and accumulate experience. Once you’ve mastered this technique, you can definitely raise the price!”

With that, I turned around and left as fast as I could.

While I was running away, I could faintly hear the man’s roar. “Damn it!”

I know. I pissed that man off…

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 2

Bella’s POV:

I didn’t dare to stop. I ran faster.

In terms of strength, I’m definitely no match for him.

Fortunately, the man did not catch up.

When I walked out of the hotel, I was still afraid. I stroked my beating heart. Fortunately, I ran fast enough.

I wouldn’t have anything to do with that man in the future. I didn’t have to worry about him anymore. Thinking of this, I was more relaxed.

After having some breakfast, I went to the company.

Halfway through, I received a call from my mother Susan.

“Oh, dear, today is your Uncle John’s 60th birthday. We will hold a banquet at the Conrad Hotels. You must come.”

“No, mom. I don’t want to go.” I knew that if I went to the banquet, I would definitely meet my father and the stepmother.

“Although I’m an adult, my father cheated on me and my mother. Until now, I can’t forgive him.”

“Your Uncle John and Aunt Carter have always been very nice to you. They took the initiative to invite you this time.” Susan tried to persuade me.

I thought about it. When my father cheated on me, I was less than ten years old. At that time, without Uncle John and Aunt Carter, my life with my mother would only be more difficult.

I thought for a moment and finally chose to agree. “Okay, I’ll go.”

“Don’t get into any more conflicts when you see your father!” Susan said.

“He won’t cause me trouble, nor will I.” I hung up the phone.

Back then, my mother knelt on the ground and begged my father. As long as he did not get a divorce and gave her and her children a home, she could ignore the matter between him and that mistress.

But my bastard father is still not satisfied. He not only divorced my mother, but also took away all the money.

After that, only we knew how hard it was for the three of us…

I came to the company just in time. I’m not late.

I came to my desk and my colleague, Joey Farmiga, walked over to me. “Oh, dear, didn’t you break up with your ex? Why can’t I see your sadness at all?”

Joey usually had a good relationship with me, so I knew that she didn’t mean anything.

“Last night, I spent 150 dollars on a prostitute to comfort my wounded heart,” I said with a smile.

“Is it useful for such a cheap man?” Joey curled her lips.

As soon as I heard this, I knew that Joey thought I was joking.

We often make all kinds of jokes. Those who don’t know must think we have rich experience in dealing with men. But in fact, our private lives are more conservative and not as open as we said.

I even told Joey directly that I had sex with a prostitute last night. She also thought that it was just a joke and it couldn’t be true.

I didn’t explain. I just smiled and didn’t say anything.

“By the way, there is a big news that our company has a new boss,” Joey suddenly said.

My mood was very calm, like a lake without any ripples.

I said, “I’m just an assistant. It doesn’t matter to me who is the boss.”

“I’ve heard that the new CEO is the heir to the Wharton Group. His father is a senior official of the government, and his mother is the chairman of the headquarters. This Boss is handsome and young. Right now, all the women in the company want to take a look at this legendary Boss!” Joey was getting more and more excited as she spoke.

“The variety is too high. We can’t afford it.” I was still very calm. I had no fantasy about this kind of man who had no possibility of development.

At this time, my superior, Gary Ackerman, came over and said to me very seriously, “The new boss is about to take office. All the staff above the department manager level and above will go to the conference room for a meeting.”

I quickly took my notebook and pen and followed behind him.

Joey blinked at me. I knew she wanted me to take a picture of the big boss.

When I walked into the meeting room, I saw that the room was full of people. I was just an assistant, so I could only sit in a corner.

In fact, I was not curious about the big boss at all. At this time, the beautiful face of this morning appeared in my mind.

I thought of the ugly expression on his face when he received 150 dollars. I couldn’t help covering my mouth and laughing.

I admit that I’ve gone too far.

But he looked at me with contempt.

Moreover, he took out his wallet and wanted to send me away as a prostitute.

I only used the same method to fight back!

Just then, a burst of applause sounded, and my thoughts returned to reality.

A handsome man in a black suit walked into the meeting room, surrounded by people.

Staring at that handsome face for dozens of seconds, I was so shocked that I couldn’t close my mouth.

Why… is he here?

Something’s wrong with my eyes.

Thinking of this, I immediately rubbed my eyes with my hands.

I’m sure it’s really the man who had a one-night stand with me.

“Last night, I spent 150 dollars to sleep with the ‘ wouldn’t mind being the new boss.”

My God! Is it still not too late to run away?

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 3

Bella’s POV:

I spent 150 dollars on sleeping with a prostitute. I can’t believe he’s the new boss!

What a coincidence. I recalled what I said to the boss…

I said that his skills were not good enough, and I want him to sell at a lower price…

Oh, my god! Why should I say that?

If he recognized me, would he fire me?

No, I can’t be fired! My mother and sister still need my help.

Calm down! I had to calm down!

I took a few deep breaths and tried to keep calm, but my legs were still trembling.

I glanced at the man sitting at the forefront and made sure that he didn’t look in my direction. Then I felt a little relieved. I lowered my head and covered half of my face with my long hair!

Right now, all I could hope for was that the CEO of the firm, Herbert Wharton, had never paid attention to me.

There were many people in the conference room, so he probably didn’t notice me.

Every minute and every second was torture for me.

The meeting gradually came to an end, and the situation seemed to be better than I had imagined. It seemed that Herbert did not notice me.

It was finally time to end my memory. I sneaked out of the conference room in the crowd.

The first thing I did when I returned to the office was to catch Joey and tell her what had happened.

Joey looked at me in shock. “You’re so lucky to sleep with the BOSS.”

“Stop joking. I’m very worried that he will take revenge on me and fire me. I still have my mother and sister to take care of. I can’t lose my job.” I was very crazy.

I regretted it again. Why did I go to that bar to drink? Why did I have a one-night stand with him? Why did I give him 150 dollars? And why did I satirize him for his poor skills?

This situation was too bad.

Joey shrugged. “Don’t worry too much. Maybe he didn’t notice you at all.”

Before she could finish her words, the manager’s voice rang out. “Bella, Mr. Wharton wants you to go to his office!”

I walked into the Boss’ office in a nervous and uneasy mood.

When I walked into the office and saw the familiar man, my breathing became rapid.

The last time we meet, he was still in the hotel, wearing a bathrobe.

Now that he’s wearing a suit, he’s my boss.

Life was always full of surprises.

Since I entered the office, he had been looking through the documents, as if he hadn’t noticed my arrival at all.

I looked at his thick hair, took a deep breath, and said in a flattering tone, “Mr. Wharton, are you looking for me?”

raised his head, and I quickly showed a standard smile. I didn’t dare to offend the big boss.

Herbert was looking me up and down. His eyes were very unfriendly, as if he was disdainful or contemptuous.

In short, it made me feel very uncomfortable.

I very much hated his eyes, which were as disdainful as looking at a humble and weak ant.

But I still have to work in his company, so I can only endure for the time being.

Finally, he put down the pen in his hand and leaned back on the wide leather seat. He said coldly, “I didn’t expect our female employee to be so open. It’s really unexpected.”

His cold tone, as well as his provocative words, made me couldn’t help but reply, “It seems that your private life is also very rich!”

I thought to myself, “We’re almost the same. If I’m a dissolute woman, then you’re also a playboy!”

The expression on Herbert’s face became very ugly again.

I seem to have angered my boss again…

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 4

Bella‘s POV

I quickly lowered my head. Although I was very happy, I still felt a little regretful. After all, I still wanted to continue working in the Wharton Group. I shouldn‘t have acted so impulsively! After I finished speaking, the office became very quiet, and I seemed to be able to hear our breathing.

I stole a glance at the facial expression of the BOSS in front of me.

He was still looking at me with a complicated expression. I couldn‘t guess what he was thinking.

The next second, I saw Herbert take out a hundred and fifty dollars from his wallet and place them in front of me. With a serious face, he said, “Miss Stepanek, I think it is necessary for me to clarify with you that apart from being the boss of the headquarters of the Wharton Group, I don‘t have any other part-time jobs. That‘s why I ask you to take back the 150 dollars!” I was stunned. So the boss asked me to come to the office just to prove that he was not a prostitute?

“I understand what you mean,” I said with a smile.

| secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps things were not as serious as I thought.

However, the next movement of Herbert confused me!

I reached out and tried to get the 150 dollars back, but he threw another 100 dollars onto it.

I looked at him, puzzled. “Mr. Wharton?”

“This 100 dollars is your reward last night. It‘s not very good! It‘s only worth that much!” Herbert‘s tone was full of superiority.

Damn it, I really want to curse!

He meant that I was even cheaper than a poor duck by 50 yuan. I was only worth 100 dollars. I was very unhappy, but I didn‘t want to lose my job. So even though I was a little angry now, I still didn‘t show it.

I told myself to calm down! I picked up the 250 dollars and said, “Nothing else. I‘ll go back to work first.” | quickly ran out of the CEO‘s office. As soon as I returned to the office, Joey came over. “Why is he looking for you?” Joey asked.

I thought for a moment and said, “Tell me that he doesn‘t have any other part–time jobs.”

“And then?” Joey continued to ask. But I‘m not going to tell her what happened next. After all, it‘s embarrassing.

“No follow–up.” I shrugged.

“It‘s boring!” Joey said.

“Are you very disappointed?” I asked.

Joey snickered. “I thought he was looking for you to continue the romantic relationship!” I immediately resisted. “I‘m not interested!” “Not interested? God, do you know? If others know that you slept with Boss, how many people will be jealous of you?” Joey looked down at the photo of Herbert on the phone.

In just a few hours, the photo of Herbert had already been posted on the phone by all the female employees of the company. “Then you‘d better not tell anyone else. I don‘t want to be envied by everyone.” I smiled and shook my head “Hey, what does it feel like to have a sex with BOSS?” Joey raised her eyebrows at me. Traised an eyebrow and said, “Just... average. You can try it if you don’t believe me.” “I wish I could try.” Joey rolled his eyes at me and returned to his seat.

Hey, although I did sleep with Herbert, it was a pity that I was so drunk at that time that I couldn‘t remember the specific feeling of last night. Thinking of this, i still felt a little regretful. However, there would be no more opportunities in the future.

Except for the boss and the company, there is no other connection between us.

Just as I was thinking about this problem… The phone rang. It was a call from Susan.

I knew that he must have urged me to attend Uncle John‘s birthday party in the afternoon.

I couldn‘t help but take a deep breath when I thought of the scene that I might have to face tonight...

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 5

Bella’s POV

I took a leave. At one o‘clock in the afternoon, I arrived at the Conrad Hotel. I delivered the gift I prepared and said a few words of birthday blessing to Uncle John. My father hasn‘t arrived yet. I don‘t want to see him and his lover happy. I plan to leave at this time. However, Aunt Carter stopped me. “Bella, we‘ll leave after lunch. There‘s another very important

guest coming!” “Which important guest?” I asked curiously. Uncle and Aunt Carter are both ordinary people, and their friends are just like us. How can there be any important guests?

“He‘s the son of a old comrade in arms of your Uncle John. Right, he‘s the new boss of your company. His name is... Herbert!” Aunt Carter excitedly replied. “What?” Aunt Carter‘s words shocked me greatly! It‘s Herbert again. Why do I have to run into him everywhere I go? Before I could react, I saw Herbert and my father‘s family coming in.

I hate these people, so I just want to get out of here as soon as possible. But Aunt Carter pulled me to the VIP seats. When I sat down, I realized that my father‘s family, Herbert, and I were all at this table. I glanced at the person in front of me and found that the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The woman who had once ruined my parents‘ marriage was named Connie Briden. The one next to her was her daughter, Emma Briden. She had big eyes, a high nose, a big chest, a very thin waist, and plump buttocks… Of course, these were not inborn.

They all relied on plastic surgery.

I suspect that every organ in her body has undergone plastic surgery.

Moreover, she was wearing heavy makeup. It was said that no one had ever seen what she really looked like.

Herbert sat on the opposite side of me coldly, and everything around him seemed to have nothing to do with him.

My father didn‘t seem to see me either.

I lowered my head and ate, as if I didn’t see anyone.

After all, there were very delicious dishes on the table, which I couldn‘t afford to eat.

Although my eyes don‘t need to look at them, my ears can still listen to them. “Oh, Emma. This Mr. Herbert is the son of your old comrade in arms. He’s now the CEO of the branch of the company, and he‘ll have a lot of business with us in the future. You should communicate more with him!” Ryan Stepanek‘ voice was very flattering. That‘s right. Ryan Stepanek is my father. That father who once cheated on me and now is my non existent father.

Ryan Stepanek opened a small security agency. It was said that Connie Briden and her daughter were good at running a man‘s company. Each time, they would cause a quarrel and divorce between other couples.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Emma Briden, and I hope that you can take care of me.” Emma’s voice was very pretentious. “Hello.” There was no expression on Herbert‘s face, but he still maintained his politeness. “It‘s too polite to call you Mr. Wharton. Why don‘t I call you ‘Herbert‘ in the future?” Emma’s face stiffened into a stiff smile. I felt cold all over and very embarrassed. I really don’t understand why a man would like such a woman. Herbert lowered his head and ate his food. He did not respond to Emma Briden.

Emma Briden continued with a smile, “Herbert, is it convenient for you to leave a contact information? Maybe we‘ll have business connections in the future!”

“You can add my secretary in business,” said Herbert as he raised his head. In the face of Herbert‘s refusal, Emma did not give up and continued to say something. Connie suddenly looked at me and immediately painted her gun at me. “Bella, you‘re too rude. I‘m your elder anyway. Aren‘t you going to greet me?” Connie Briden must have been deliberately picking on me.

I‘m a little angry.

Elder? What kind of elder was she? Back then, she ruined my parents‘ marriage and even insulted my mother! If it weren‘t for my young age, I would have definitely beaten her. I raised my chin and sneered. “What right do you have to be my elder when you‘re such a wicked woman!”

Connie turned to look at my father and said in an aggrieved voice, “Ryan, your daughter has gone too far!”

Ryan was furious. “Bella, apologize to Connie immediately!” Oh, this is my father!

Whether it‘s my fault or not, I have to apologize immediately!

This time, I won‘t apologize!

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 6

Bella’s POV

“Am I wrong? Isn‘t she a third party, not a bad person?” I stood up and pointed at Connie. It‘s been 15 years. My father hasn‘t given me and my sister any special treatment. I remember when I was a child, I couldn’t pay the tuition fee to ask him for money, but he didn’t give it to me. Instead, he kicked me.

But the daughter of the third party had always lived a very good life.

From then on, I swore that I would never take a penny from him again, and Ryan was no longer my father!

“Ryan, your daughter humiliated me. I‘m angry!” Connie Briden, shouted loudly. “Damn it!”

“Pa!”

Ryan Stepanek‘ voice sounded almost at the same time as his voice hitting me. After that moment, I felt a severe headache on my cheek.

Perhaps he used too much strength that my head started to feel dizzy.

I fell to the ground.

Long press the content to comment or report Before I could react, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my hand. I turned my head and saw that Emma was steppir ‘the back of my hand with her thin high heels. At that moment, anger and pain went straight into my brain. I got up from the ground in a hurry and shouted, “F*ck CK!”

The next moment, I directly picked up a pot of hot soup on the table and poured it on Ryan. Then I picked up the other two plates of dishes and poured it on Connie and Emma.

In an instant, Ryan Stepanek screamed in pain from the heat. His beautiful clothes were covered with greasy vegetable soup. “How dare you resist!” Ryan was very angry, waving his fist to hit me. At this moment, Uncle John and Aunt Carter came to my side, and Ryan stopped.

“How could there be such a terrible daughter? How dare she attack her father!” Connie was the first to accuse me.

Aunt Carter didn‘t answer her and just pulled me to her side. “I won‘t have a daughter like her in the future!” Ryan roared. I couldn‘t help rolling my eyes. I don‘t want to be his daughter. I was very happy to see Ryan and his family in such a sorry state, although the corner of my mouth was bleeding.

When I looked up, I suddenly saw Herbert sitting quietly in his seat, staring at me with a pair of dark eyes.

That kind of indifference, with a look at me, stung me like a needle. I raised my chin to Herbert and rolled my eyes at him. Then I turned around and walked away quickly

The spring breeze was still a little cold, and the clothes I wore were very thin,

I didn‘t get a taxi after walking for a long time.

My burning face was blown by the cold wind. Even though I was very strong, I couldn‘t help crying.

But I don‘t regret it. If I could teach those trash a lesson, I would be happy even if I were beaten, Just when my foot was very painful because of the high heels, a black Bentley suddenly stopped in front of me

I looked up and saw the handsome face in the car window.

I pulled my lips in surprise, because the owner of that face was Herbert,

“Get in the car!” Herbert ordered.

I hate his tone of speaking. It‘s not working hours now, so I don‘t need to obey his orders.

And what had just happened was not worthy of pride.

Herbert saw the whole process. I hadn‘t figured out how to face him yet. So I didn‘t intend to get in the car at all. “It‘s very difficult to get a car here,” Herbert continued.

I didn‘t want to hear his voice, so I turned and left. However, after walking for a short distance, I heard someone behind me shouting, “I heard that several cases of rape and murder of women have happened in this street area recently. The murderer has not been caught yet. The police suspect that the murderer is a resident nearby.” I looked up at the darkness, and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves became terrible.

Even if I don‘t like Herbert and my self esteem, I have to take care of my own safety. The next second, I turned around and opened the door. I quickly got in the passenger seat and fastened my seat belt.

I didn‘t look at the expression of Herbert during the whole process.

The car started.

It was quiet in the carriage. I touched my painful cheek and felt really embarrassed just now. I was an adult, but I was beaten by Ryan!

I didn‘t say a word along the way. Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of my district.

“Thank you, Mr. Wharton.” I unfastened my seat belt and thanked him. After all, he had sent me to the door.

Herbert said, “You don‘t have to thank me. After all, you are an employee of the company. If anything happens to you, the company will pay you a part of the fee.”

These words immediately made me angry. How could there be a boss who cursed his employees to death?

“Mr. Wharton, don‘t worry. I will definitely live to a hundred years old. You should keep the money for your own use!” After speaking, I got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

Swoosh!

The next moment, the car left quickly.

He ran so fast.

The boss was very handsome, but unfortunately, he had a bad mouth.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 7

Bella’s POV

As soon as they got home, my sister Betty came up and asked, “Sister, what happened to your face?”

Hearing this, my mother immediately came over and asked anxiously, “Who did it? Is it your father?”

“Mom, I was slapped twice, but I slapped back twice!” When I saw my mother‘s distressed look, i pretended to be relaxed.

“Don‘t take it to heart, Bella. Your father must have listened to Connie.”

Mom, are you trying to say that my dad hit me for a reason? Can I forgive him?

I threw the ice bag away angrily and said, “Mom, Ryan has never cared about you for so many years, Why are you still speaking for him? You have nothing to do with him now. You are strangers, and you are not as good as strangers. You are enemies!”

That was how my mother was. She was weak and had no idea what to do. The father was her god. Although they had divorced for many years, Ryan was still her husband in her heart.

That was what I hated most.

“He is your father after all.” My mother‘s voice was very low.

Seeing such a weak mother, I felt sad and softened my tone. “Mom, I‘m tired. I‘m going back to my room to rest.”

I entered my room in frustration, my face burning with pain. Fortunately, it was the weekend tomorrow, otherwise, I wouldn‘t have been able to go to work.

knock knock knock…

A few minutes later, the door was knocked twice, and her mother‘s voice came in.

“Bella, I forgot to tell you just now. Mom‘s good friend introduced you to a University professor. Your face is not convenient now. I‘ll arrange for you to meet next week!”

Ever since my ex-boyfriend cheated on me, my mother has been looking for someone to introduce me to. Once I object, my mother will start to shed tears and force me to meet her.

A week later, I sat in a very romantic restaurant, waiting for for someone to be introduced by my mother‘s friend. At seven o‘clock, a man in grey trousers, a white shirt, and gold–rimmed glasses sat in front of me. “Hello, my name is Hank Cruise. I‘m 29, and I’m a teacher in college now.” His opening words were simple and clear. I looked him up and down, raised my chin and said, “I have a few questions for you.”

The person in front of me looks very gently. I don‘t have a bad impression of him for the time being.

It‘s just that I don‘t like this kind of date. I came here just to make the Susan feel at ease.

So I thought I had to say something to stimulate this man and let him take the initiative to leave.

“By the way, let Susan know that don’t introduce me to all kinds of men in the future.”

“Go ahead. As long as i can answer, I will.” Hank smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth.

Do you have a real estate i glanced at him

The people who could afford to buy a house in this city were all from wealthy families or particularly high salaries

It was actually very difficult to buy a house in the city with the salary of a professor

I guessed that he couldn‘t have a house, so I deliberately made things difficult for him.

This question made Hank smile “I‘m living in two hundred square meter.”

I was stunned and thought, “It must be a property with a particularly bad location or a very bad environment

I immediately asked, “Do you have a Mercedes?”

Hank‘s smile deepened. “My car is a Land Rover now. If you like Mercedes, I can change it.

I was stunned again. In order to defeat him, I continued, “My salary is not high and my temper is not good."

“It doesn‘t matter. Girls will have bad tempers, I can understand.” Hank continued to say gently.

I didn‘t achieve the purpose of driving him away, so I patted the table and said, “Are you sick? You have a big house and a good car. You are handsome, and you are a university professor. Why did you find a woman like me?”

“What‘s wrong with you?” Hank looked at me.

“When I was very young, my father ran away with other women. I‘m a single-parent. Now my mother and sister rely on me. My ex-boyfriend said that I‘m not gentle and not feminine. He went abroad with a rich girl,” I said.

“Anything else?” Hank still had a smile on his face.

“No.” I lowered my head and drank juice. I had exposed all my shortcomings. Why didn‘t he retreat?

“You are the most special girl I have ever seen. In fact, I hate blind dates, but I don‘t like to make friends. You won‘t object to us being ordinary friends, will you?” Finally, Hank handed me a business card.

Friend?

When Hank said this, all my previous vigilance was put down. It didn‘t matter if they were just ordinary friends. I took the business card and began to eat and chat with him.

I didn‘t expect our conversation to be so pleasant.

I don‘t hate Hank at all. I even think it‘s great to have such a friend.

After dinner, Hank insisted on taking me home, but I didn‘t refuse. I stood at the entrance of the restaurant and waited for him to get the car in the parking lot.

“Bella?” Someone called me from behind all of a sudden.

As soon as I turned around, I saw my superior, Gary Ackerman. “Manager, are you here for dinner too?” I was very surprised. At this time, I saw Herbert and a male businessman walking out of the restaurant.

When I came out for a meal, I would meet someone I didn’t want to see. This Herbert seemed to be everywhere.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 8

Bella’s POV

“Would you like to have dinner with your friends?” Asked Gary suddenly. Just then, Hank drove the car over. “My friend is here!” I said quickly. “Boyfriend?” “No, it‘s just... an ordinary friend.” I quickly denied. Bella, why are you blushing? Are you shy? Gary continued to ask. I raised my head and accidentally met Herbert‘s eyes.

I instinctively lowered my head and quickly said, “Goodbye, manager!” I quickly sat in the passenger seat, looked through the glass, and then turned away. My personality is usually very direct and I don‘t hesitate at all. What happened today? I asked myself in my heart...

Early the next morning, as soon as I walked into the office, I was met with a serious look on Gary‘s face.

“A few days ago, our finance department made a major mistake in the development project. We were asked to go there.”

“How serious is it?” I asked nervously.

I spent half a month working overtime in the finance department to complete the plan. I was in charge of it. “I don‘t know either. We‘ll know when we get there.” The director was also very nervous.

As soon as I walked into the office with Gary, Herbert angrily threw the two inch thick bag on the desk.

“How do you work? How can you make low–level mistakes? Do you know how important this project is to the company?” Mistake? The parameters were all taken care of by Joey. Her mother was seriously ill these days, and she was very anxious every day. She must have neglected it. “How could the parameters be wrong?”

The Gary was very surprised. “Go and check the situation of the company’s employees this time. They have caused such a big loss to the company. We must chase them severely!” Herbert was so angry that he unbuttoned his shirt.

“I‘ll go and investigate...” Without waiting for the report to finish, I immediately said, “Mr. Wharton, I don‘t think it‘s the time to pursue responsibility. I‘m just trying to think of a way to remedy the case.”

Joey’s mother was still in the hospital, so she spent a lot of money. Joey needed this salary very much.

Joey is my good friend. I hope that I can help her. “Make up for it? How?” Herbert’s tone was very serious.

12:21D The director lowered his head and explained to me, “There will be a bidding meeting next Monday, and it‘s too late to calculate again.”

I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Then I looked up and said, “There are still six days before the next Monday. I‘m responsible for the calculation.”

The director frowned and said to me, Bella, there are several major projects in the finance department recently. I can‘t transfer anyone to help you.

“I know, I believe I can definitely do it again before next Monday!” I promised. Joey couldn‘t live without this job. I knew it would take a lot of time to calculate again, but I still wanted to try my best.

However, Herbert‘s face was full of contempt. “Do you think you can do it all by yourself in six days? Do you think you‘re faster than a computer?” “Is the computer also man-made?” I whispered.

This sentence made the office immediately quiet down. Herbert stared at me coldly, and I immediately lowered my head. I knew that I was impulsive when I spoke.

A few seconds later, he said to me seriously, “Well, if you can‘t finish your account on Monday, you can leave the company!” I reached out to pick up the budget table and said, “Understood, I‘ll do it.” Anyway, I don‘t have a good impression of him. I don‘t think it‘s possible for me to get promoted and get a raise in the future. It‘s better to let Joey stay. If I can‘t finish this task, I can change my job.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 9

Bella’s POV

I went home to pack up my things and was ready to complete the task in the company for the next six days. Two days later, at noon, I suddenly received a call from Hank. “Hank, I‘m very busy right now. I don‘t have time to chat with you.” I was a little agitated, Calculations work was far more complicated than I had imagined.

“I know you’re busy, so I don‘t dare to disturb you, but you have to eat. I‘ve prepared your favorite seafood fried rice for you. Come down and take it,” Hank said. The last time we took the dinner, we added social accounts to each other. We talked very happily. Many things were very tacit, so we always kept in touch.

When I heard that he wanted to bring me seafood fried rice, I was very touched. These days, I asked my colleagues to bring some fast food back. I didn‘t expect that Hank still remembered that I liked seafood fried rice. Looking at my watch, I thought, “I should be back soon.” So I replied to Hank, “Wait a minute, I can go down.” As soon as I got out of the building, I saw Hank holding one box in his hand and smiling at me.

“Although work is important, health is more important. Don‘t be tired.” Hank‘s voice was very gentle.

“I see.” My eyes were a little sore. I‘ve been living in the company for several days, but no one cares about me so much. “Bring it up and eat it.” Hank stuffed the food into my hand.

I turned to look at a row of chairs not far away for pedestrians to rest. I pointed there and said with a smile, “There are still a few minutes before work. Why don‘t you go there with me?”

“Okay,” Hank replied with a smile.

I ate the fried rice. On the one hand, I was really hungry. This fried rice was really delicious.

On the other hand, I have to seize the time to eat and continue to work. I ate and couldn‘t help saying, “Well, it‘s delicious!” “Eat slowly, be careful not to choke...” “Cough cough...”

Before Hank could finish his sentence, I choked and bent down to cough.

While I was feeling very uncomfortable, I could feel that Hank was patting my back. When I felt a little better, he handed me a glass of water. “Drink some water!” Hank’s actions were very gentle. I’m very grateful to him. I took a swig of water and caressed my chest. “It‘s lucky that I didn‘t choke myself to death!”

As soon as I finished speaking, I looked up and saw a man in a black suit not far away.

The man’s temperament was cold, and his hands were in his pockets.

I could see that he is looking at me. I suddenly became nervous But the man did nothing then turned and left.

I couldn‘t help but say, “Damn it, why can I see that man no matter where I am?” “Do you know that person?” Hank asked.

Yes! I replied. “Who is he?” Hank asked curiously. “the capitalist who exploited me,” I replied.

Your boss?” Hank raised his eyebrows. I nodded, looked down at my watch, and got up. “I have to go back to work.” After taking a few steps, I suddenly turned to Hank and said, “Thank you for your seafood meal.” After that, I continued to walk to the office. At this time, the elevator was very busy. I stood among a bunch of people, waiting for the elevator. Suddenly, I heard a familiar man‘s voice.

“No wonder there will be a mistake at work. Are all the female employees in your finance department dating men at the same time as you are doing?” I looked up and saw that it was Herbert standing in front of me.

There was a hint of mockery in Herbert‘s words just now.

But I couldn‘t find any words to refute it. I was indeed with Hank just now. Although there‘s no ambiguous relationship between me and Hank.

I don‘t think I should explain it to Herbert.

After a moment of silence, I said, “Mr. Wharton, I only represent myself. Please don‘t implicate the others in our department!” Herbert said coldly, “I think you don‘t have to waste your effort. You can‘t complete the plan before Monday.”

His indifference and disdain annoyed me. I only felt that my chest was full of gas. I turned around and walked to the safe exit in my high heels. I would rather climb the stairs than take an elevator with the detestable capitalist.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 10

Bella’s POV

Herbert’s irony made me want to complete the task even more. From that day on, I have never left the office.

“If I‘m hungry, I‘ll eat biscuits and instant noodles, If I‘m sleepy, I‘ll lie down and sleep for an hour. After a few days, I‘m very tired, and the dark circles under my eyes have become very obvious.”

Early in the morning, when Joey entered the office, she ran over to me and asked, “Bella, what did Mr. Wharton come here for?” I looked up blankly. ” capitalist? He‘s never been here.” “I just came in and saw him coming out from here.” Joey pointed at the door.

At this moment, Bella suddenly understood: Herbert must have come to laugh at her. He thought that he would not be able to complete the plan on Monday.

“Damn, I rolled up my sleeves. I must surprise him this time.” “I see. Boss secretly came to see you. Does he like you?” Joey said. I glanced at her and said, “He can‘t like me. He‘s just waiting for me haven‘t finish my work and laugh at me!”

Joey‘s expression instantly changed from relaxed to serious. She said guiltily, “Bella, I‘m sorry, I got you into trouble. You‘ve been so busy these days, but I can‘t help you.” I looked up at the guilty Joey and said in a deliberately relaxed tone, “I‘m fine, I‘m fine! Your condition is not good now. Your brother is useless.

Your mother lean on you now! Go to work quickly! I‘m really fine.” “Thank you,” Joey said gratefully. Then I saw her return to her seat. I lowered my head and continued to work. Now every minute and every second was very important. On Sunday evening, my colleagues got off work and left. I was still working hard in front of the computer.

A steady sound of footsteps suddenly came from the empty office. I was a little scared and very nervous.

I suddenly looked up and saw a man in a black suit appear in front of me.

I didn‘t want to talk to him, so I didn‘t look up.

I heard him say, “There are only a dozen hours left until the bidding meeting at nine o‘clock tomorrow morning. Are you sure you can complete it?”

Although Herbert’s expression was very strict this time, I didn‘t hear any disdain or contempt.

I looked at the work beside me and answered with certainty, “It will definitely be completed at five or six o‘clock tomorrow morning.”

Herbert nodded. “Then I‘ll have a rest at the company tonight. If you’re done. Give me the plan directly!”

Before I could say anything, he had already turned and left. I didn‘t rest for the rest of the night.
