Ch. 21..30
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 21
Bella‘s POV
I continued, “But you don‘t have to worry. I won‘t keep bothering you!” “What do you mean? Am I irresponsible? Or can‘t I bear the responsibility?” Herbert seemed to be angry.
I stared at him, and my mood became complicated again. Why was he so excited? “To take responsibility?” The responsibility in his mouth, what exactly was he talking about? He couldn‘t take responsibility? What was the most important thing in his body now?
Money? Yes, he was rich.
So he planned to give me money to have an abortion?
The next moment, I immediately covered my stomach and squatted down. “Ouch!”
“What‘s wrong with you?” Herbert asked.
“My belly hurts a little. Hurry up and push a wheelchair over. I‘m going to see the see–GYN department!” I frowned.
“I‘ll carry you.” Herbert stepped forward and was about to carry her. I quickly waved my hand. “I don‘t want you to hug me. What if...” What if you hurt your child?
I didn‘t say the last half of the sentence. After all, a man who wanted me to have an abortion didn‘t care about the safety of the child at all.
Herbert said, “Wait for me. I‘ll be right back!” As soon as he left, I stood up and ran out of the clinic building. I don‘t want to lose this child, so I pretended to have a stomachache and ran away.
But in the end, I failed to escape.;
Herbert caught up with me. “Where are you going?” Herbert questioned me. “It‘s none of your business!” I said angrily.
“You‘re pregnant with my child now. Don‘t you want me to care about it?” His expression was a little serious.
After a moment of silence, he said, “I have something to tell you...” Herbert‘s expression was so serious that I couldn‘t help but feel nervous... I had never dreamed that he would say to me, “Let‘s get married!” I couldn‘t believe my ears. My ears are broken, or is he crazy? No, this doesn’t make sense. Shouldn‘t he give me a check or a bank card and let me solve it myself?
“Get married?”
“He married me for a child?”
“Get married? Don‘t joke with me like that. I will take it seriously.” I thought he must be joking.
Even if it wasn‘t a joke, it was just a casual remark. There were too many women who wanted to marry a man like Herbert. If he want to marry me just because I‘m pregnant. Then how many times should he get married? “I‘m very serious now!” Herbert looked at me seriously.
When my eyes met his, my heartbeat instantly became very messy. Because his expression was indeed very serious. He didn’t seem to be joking at all, and he had never joked with me.
“Is he serious?” At this moment, my mind was in a mess. He was going to marry me. I thought of many possibilities, but I didn‘t think of this result. I didn‘t know how to respond to him, so I kept silent.
At this time, Herbert said, “Don‘t you want our child?” “Who said I don‘t want this child? I must give birth to him!” I immediately retorted. Herbert‘s voice became soft. “That‘s great.” “But...” I looked at him hesitantly. I wanted this child because it was my child.
I like this child.
But I haven‘t decided whether to marry him or not.
This man had the halo, family background, wealth, knowledge, and appearance that all women wanted. But I was just an ordinary woman. It was really stressful to marry such a man! “But what? Do you want our child to be an illegitimate child?” Herbert questioned me. “Of course I don‘t want to,” I said instinctively.
This child is still a fetus. I find that I have already wanted to do everything for him. “Let‘s go and get the marriage certificate now.” Herbert took my hand and walked to the car. Get a marriage certificate?
All of this happened so suddenly. Am I really going to marry Herbert and become his wife?
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 22
Bella‘s POV
Herbert’s hands were warm, and I was instantly surrounded by a sense of security. Although I didn‘t know much about this man, I believed that he would definitely protect me and my baby. He‘s so outstanding and handsome.
Our baby will surely inherit his genes in the future. O In any case, at least the baby I gave birth to should be very excellent. If I considered the growth of my child, it seemed to be the right choice for me to marry Herbert.
But about marriage... I didn‘t think about it clearly.
When the car was steadily driving on the road, I looked blankly at the Herbert in front of me and asked, “Are we going to the marriage register and register for marriage?” Herbert said with a smile, “You are usually very decisive, but why are you so slow when it comes to your own business?”
I immediately pursed my lips and directly retorted. “If i don‘t work well, what if i am fired by the capital?”
Herbert glared at me, and I immediately shut up and didn‘t say a word.
Then, he suddenly took out two pieces of paper and handed them to me. “This is our pre–wedding agreement. Take a look. If there‘s no problem, sign it.”
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment and then reached out to take the marriage agreement in his hand.
Looking down, I couldn‘t help frowning because the agreement was very detailed and there were many terms.
After the marriage, the two parties reached an agreement.
First, A will be responsible for all the expenses of the members of the family and their children. Second, if they were divorced, A would have to buy a house that was no less than 150 square meters and two million in cash. The B would not have the right to own any property of the A.
Third, if B continue to work in the Wharton Group, B must reveal the fact that A is married to B.
The next chapter was B shall not interfere with A‘s private life. Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 5 B is Not allowed to have any relationship with the opposite sex.
The next chapter was to cooperate with each other in front of family. If divorced, the child‘s raised rights belong to the A.
Looking at the detailed explanation, it seemed that Herbert had come prepared. Just now, I wanted him to take good care of me and his child. Now it seemed that he just wanted the child in my belly to marry me.
At this moment, I felt very hurt.
Such a marriage was too practical, and I was completely passive.
The next moment, I threw the agreement to Herbert. “This is an unequalled agreement. I won‘t sign
Herbert didn‘t show too much surprise, still very calm.
At this time, I heard him say, “Your father left you and your mother 15 years ago. Your mother was given to you after you went to college by working as a part–time worker and relatives. Now your salary is to support you and your mother, as well as your sister in high school.
Your salary can only be paid to your family‘s life. Do you have the ability to give birth to children alone? Your mother is a very traditional family woman. Will she allow you to be a single mother?” “Have you investigated me?” I suddenly felt angry. It was as if I was a transparent person in front of Herbert, and he knew my situation.
Herbert said coldly, “Do you think I‘ll let a woman who doesn‘t know anything about me give birth to my child? At least your family background and experience are innocent. Not all women deserve to give birth to my child.”
This made my self–esteem trampled. I couldn‘t help but smile and said, “According to what you said, I should be glad to have the qualification to have a baby for you, right?”
Herbert‘s tone was very calm. “I won‘t force others. You decide on this!” After that, he raised his head and asked the driver in front of him, “When will we arrive?” “Three minutes left,” the driver in front replied.
Herbert turned to me and said, “You have three minutes to consider. I have a date at six o‘clock.”
His words were very obvious. If she did not make a decision before the marriage was reached, then the marriage would be over. When I saw the look in Herbert‘s eyes, I could feel my heart beating wildly. If I were alone, I could not have accepted his contract and not his money. However, I‘m not alone right now.
I already have a child in my belly. What he just said was the truth. I really don‘t have the ability to leave the child in my belly alone. Do I really want to agree to this unfair contract? . Just as I was hesitating, I heard Herbert say, “If you choose to have an abortion, I will give you enough surgical fees and nutrition fees.”
I looked at him in shock. “If I had chosen to abort this child, wouldn‘t you have opposed it?” Herbert said, “I don‘t have the right to force anyone to give birth to a child for me.” “Of course, whether this child can come to this world or not depends on your decision!” Herbert‘s voice was very cold.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 23
Bella’s POV
Herbert’s words made me frown.
Herbert threw this question back to me. The most hateful thing about this man was that he had targeted all his enemies at me. “If I don’t agree to get married, then I won’t have the possibility of giving birth to a child. Because with my working ability, I can hardly provide good living for the child.”
So the executioner who killed the child in the end would become me. Although I value self-esteem very much, in the face of my child’s life, I still choose the latter. I looked up at the marriage registration authority in front of me, who had already entered my sight. I turned to Herbert and said, “I cannot agree to clause 7 of the contract.”
I gave up my self-esteem and the child born from love, so I can’t be written on the list and easily taken away by others.
I thought that he would object to my suggestion.
Unexpectedly, he said, “This one is indeed unfair to you, I’ll ask my secretary to remove this one later.”
He agreed very quickly.
I nodded and said, “Okay, I agree to get married.”
At this time, Connor had already parked his car in the parking lot of the marriage registration. We‘ve entered the marriage registration. Maybe we’re the only couple who got married without holding hands or putting our arms around each other’s shoulders.
When I signed the marriage contract, I hesitated for two seconds and finally signed my name.
Without hesitation, he wrote down his name in a carefree manner.
Looking at his calmness, I couldn’t help but think, “Wasn’t it the first time he got married?” When I sat in the car again, I couldn’t believe that I was already married, and my target was Herbert.
There was dead silence in the carriage. No one broke the silence.
Along the way, we sat in the back seat without even looking at each other.
After a while, Connor parked his car in front of my house, but I still hadn’t recovered from it.
“I’m going to make an appointment. You go back and have a rest. I’ll contact you later.” Hearing this, I looked up and saw that the car had stopped at the gate of my own community.
I turned my head and met Herbert’s eyes. I saw no expression on his face.
“Is he driving me out of the car?” I couldn’t help thinking, Bella, oh Bella, what are you thinking about? Do you want to go home with him? He just regarded you as a machine for giving birth. Do you really think you are his wife? Thinking of this, my cheeks felt hot. I nodded quickly. “Okay.” Then I got out of the car.
I looked at the car driving away and shook my head hard. This was not a dream. Everything was true.
Today, I’m already a married woman, and my husband is the president of my company.
My feelings are very complicated. I married myself just like that.
There was no wedding, wedding dress, ring, or even ceremony. I just got a marriage certificate. I couldn’t help reaching into my bag where there was a marriage certificate.
I took the key and opened the door. Mom just came over.
I smiled and called her, “Mom…”
Pa!
My mother slapped me, and she gave me a slap.
My head felt dizzy. After a while, I felt very sad. I said, “Mom, why did you hit me?” Ever since I graduated from college, I’ve been working hard to support my family and to support my sister in school. I’ve never done anything wrong.
“Why are you asking? Although I’m cowardly, i’m alam a devout Christian. Have you forgotten how | taught you since you were a child?” My mother was very angry.
“Mom, what did I do?” At this moment, I seemed to have a hunch in my heart. Could it be that I was pregnant?
Sure enough, my mother pointed at me and asked, “Are you really pregnant?”
“Yes.” I had never lied in front of my mother, so I nodded and admitted it.
Upon hearing this, my mother sat on the sofa with tears in her eyes. “You’ve gone too far. Have you forgotten the doctrine of the Holy books? You can’t be lewd. You can’t get pregnant before getting married. You can’t get pregnant before marriage.”
How could my mother know about this so soon?
I thought for a long time. In the end, I could only think of one person.
“Emma!”
She must have told my mom! Although I have a lot of anger for Emma at the moment, I still decided to appease my mother first.
After all, Mom is the person I care about the most.
I know how hard it has been for mom to raise me and my sister since I was a child. I don’t want Mom to be disappointed in me.
“Mom, listen to me…” “What else can you say? You and your ex-boyfriend have just broken up for a few days. How could you be pregnant? Are you a promiscuity?” Mom was so angry that she hit me a few more times. O I didn’t hide and let my mother hit me. In fact, i knew in my heart that my mother was right.
It was true that I went out to do something, which led to my pregnancy. It’s just that I can’t admit it. It’s not because I’m afraid of being beaten or scolded, but because I’m afraid of making my mom sad. “Mom, you’re really wrong. Although I broke up with my ex-boyfriend not long ago, I didn’t have any bad relationship with him. I met someone who loved me when I was lost. We... we fell in love.
Although I was pregnant before marriage and we’ve already gotten our marriage certificate, we’re officially married. So it’s not against the doctrine of the Holy books. We‘re going to get married. So, we really want to spend the rest of our lives together!” As I spoke, I quickly took out the marriage
certificate from my bag. I’m glad that I agreed to marry Herbert today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to face my mother.
my mother took the marriage certificate with suspicion and began to carefully check it. “Herbert?” Susan read the name on the marriage certificate. “Yes.” I nodded hastily. “How old is he this year?” Asked Susan. I was a little stunned.
I didn’t know the age of Herbert, but I quickly glanced at the date of birth on the marriage certificate. He was four years older than me, so I quickly answered, “Twenty-nine years old.” “Who else in his family? What does his parents do? What does he do? What’s his personality like?”
The female officer asked a series of questions.
Trolled my eyes and could only come up with an excuse. “He’s the only son of family. His family lives in a remote mountain village. His family background… is not very good. He’s just a small employee. He can’t afford a house so far, so I don’t dare to bring him back for you to see.
But he’s a nice person, and he’s very considerate to me.” Oh my god! I never lied to anyone. I didn’t tell the truth tonight. I can’t lie. Because a lie had to be made up with a lot of lies. “he have such poor conditions? he is far worse than Hank, whom I asked someone to introduce to you a few days ago.”
Susan curled her lips to show her dissatisfaction. “Mom, does that professor look down on me?” In order to stop her from pestering him, I told her that Hank looked down on me the last time I came back on a blind date. “That’s right. No matter how good the person who doesn’t love you is, we won’t marry him.
As long as he is good and is willing to make progress, it’s good to be good to you. I won’t dislike him being poor. By the way, you can call him back tomorrow.” My mother finally smiled. But my mother said… that I would bring him home tomorrow? What should I do?
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 24
Bella‘s POV
I lied in order to calm my mother down.
But I didn‘t expect my mother to ask me to bring her home.
Herbert, I can almost be sure that he can‘t go home with me.
So how should he continue to make it up now?
“Ah? Well… Mom, he is always on a business trip, so he has to go on a business trip early tomorrow morning, saying that he will come back in ten days or half a month.” I continued to lie.
“A business trip every day? How are you going to live in the future?” he asked.
“There‘s a budget for a business trip. He has to make money for me and our child. There‘s nothing he can do.” I continued.
Although I said it calmly, I was already in a panic. I‘ve used all my ability to lie here. “That‘s right. We can have a gathering together when he comes back.” After that, my mother took the marriage certificate and went back to the house while looking at it.
I only heaved a sigh of relief when I saw Susan close the bedroom door. “God, I finally got rid of my mother for the time being.”
As for what would happen in the future, he had to figure it out in the future.
I went back to my room and closed the door.
“Congratulations, sister. You‘ve passed the test!” Betty, who was doing homework, turned around with a smile.
I quickly sat down in front of the bed and asked my sister in a low voice, “Who came today? How did Mom know that I was... pregnant?”
Betty looked in the direction of the door and answered in a low voice, “Today, Ryan Stepanek called my mother. That man said something particularly unpleasant on the phone. My mother was crying!”
We didn‘t call each other father in private, but his name. In our eyes, our father had already died.
“It must be Emma told Ryan,” I said angrily. “Oh Emma really have a grudge against our family.” Betty was also angry. I clenched my fists and said resentfully, “This hatred is very deep.” In my heart, I said to myself, “In the future, I will definitely give Emma and Connie punishment.”
On the way to work the next day, I spent hundreds of money on a cheap ring and a few packs of famous candy to the company. As soon as I entered the office, I distributed the candy to everyone. “Everyone, eat the candy!”
“Assistant Stepanek, what kind of name is this candy?” A male employee teased. I smiled and said, “I‘m married. I just got my marriage certificate yesterday, and you know that I‘m pregnant. Everything is in a hurry, so I‘ll distribute the wedding candy first and hold the ceremony later!”
23:27 This was the idea I came up with last night. After all, everyone in the company knew that I was afraid of being pregnant. If I didn‘t announce my marriage, I would be too ashamed to continue to stay here. But I didn‘t lie. I did get married yesterday.
“Bella, the diamond ring is so beautiful!” The female employees all noticed the ring in my hand. “Oh, I just bought it yesterday afternoon. I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to pick!” I felt that the smile on my face was particularly fake, but I still had to continue to play tricks.
I couldn‘t let the negative public opinion affect my daily life. “This diamond ring is worth tens of thousands of Dollar, isn‘t it?” A female employee stepped forward and grabbed my hand. I was afraid that I would be seen through, so I quickly withdrew my hand and said, “It‘s only 10,000. It‘s not as big as your diamond ring.
Your diamond ring is several times larger than mine!” Hearing this, the female employee did not continue to pester me. She did not continue to speak, but returned to her seat.
This was how it was in the office. Regardless of whether it was men or women, they all had the mindset of comparing others.
If he was a little better than others, he would be satisfied with his vanity. If he was a little worse than others, he would be jealous.
I‘ve been working here for this year, so I know very well about these situations.
“Bella, what does your husband do?” The gossipy female colleague asked again.
Although this was an era of pursuing women‘s interests.
However, in terms of choosing a partner, it was inevitable that there would be problems.
And this was also a process of comparison.
“He‘s just a small employee,” I said immediately. “Why do you have to buy a house and a car to get married?” Everyone asked jokingly.
T immediately put on a worried look. “My husband‘s family is not very well off, and now the house price is so expensive. I can only rent a house for the time being.”
I can clearly sense the people around me, and the way they look at me has changed.
It was not as contemptuous as before, and the replaced emotion seemed to be sympathy.
Yes, sympathy.
Then I heard someone whispering. “If it were me, I wouldn‘t be as brave as Bella. I wouldn‘t marry a small employee without a car or a house.” “Me too. I hope that my future husband will have a better condition.”
“This might be true love.” “Yes, this is true love. don‘t care about other people‘s interests, just like that person. I hope that man is really good to her.”
There were still some discussions later on, most of which were about me being a poor woman.
Although sympathy was not a very good emotion, I was still happy in my heart, compared with the previous contempt.
23:27 The crisis of my personal reputation was resolved.
My mood has also improved a lot.
At this time, Joey came to me. She pulled me to the balcony and whispered to me. “Why did you suddenly announce our marriage? Did you really find a backup? Hank? Did you force him to marry you voluntarily?” Joey asked me. “I‘m really married.” Then I told everything that happened yesterday to Joey.
Joey patted me on the shoulder excitedly as she said, “Bella, you‘re lucky!” I just found it funny. “I‘m unlucky.” “Anyway, you and the big boss are now legal husband and wife. You may get a lot of benefits if you please him more!” Joey said with a smile. “Do you think Herbert is a fool? Didn‘t you see the agreement?
He has thought about everything.” Thinking of the agreement, I didn‘t know why my heart was very sour. “At least you and your child are living a comfortable life now. Even if you get divorced in the future, you won‘t have a house and cash. Hey, how come I can‘t meet such a good thing?
Not to mention house and cash, even Herbert is very attractive!” Joey said. I didn‘t answer, and the sadness in my heart eased a little. Things have developed to this point. I can only try my best to persuade myself to think about good places.
“My nominal husband hasn‘t contacted me for a whole week. When he said that he would contact me later in the car that day, it was just a perfunctory word. I didn‘t expect that he would take it seriously.” I couldn‘t help laughing at my stupidity. That afternoon, I suddenly received a call from Hank.
“Why didn‘t you contact me for so many days?” “I‘ve been a little... busy these days.” Since I got the marriage certificate, I had never contacted Hank. I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell him that I was married. I didn‘t want to waste his time looking for someone else, but I forgot later. Today was a good opportunity.
“Do you have time for lunch? I‘m going to work near your company at noon.” Hank sent an invitation to me. “Okay.” I agreed, because I should take the opportunity to make it clear to Hank.
“Then we‘ll meet at a western restaurant downstairs at 12 o‘clock in the afternoon. Bye!” Hank hung up the phone.
I looked aside and saw a few gossip female colleagues staring at her on the phone. During the past few days, they had been asking why their husbands didn‘t come to pick me up. And why didn‘t i have a love phone? It was very clear that they thought my marriage was fake. These people were so boring!
But after all, we have to work together for a long time, so I have to care about their thoughts.
I suddenly came up with a good idea.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 25
Bella‘s POV
I was not in a hurry to put down my phone. Instead, I continued, “Dear, I want to throw up when I smell the greasy smell. Let‘s have a light meal, shall we? Well, well, let‘s meet at noon. Bye, husband!”
After saying so much in one breath, I hung up the phone immediately. When I looked up, I was immediately stunned!
Oh, my God!
When did Herbert start to stand beside me?
I looked up again and saw that Herbert was looking at me with a very serious expression.
I lowered my head instantly and didn‘t dare to look at him anymore.
He must have heard what I said just now.
This was too embarrassing.
At this time, the financial manager, Gary Ackerman, who was standing next to Herbert, hurriedly said, “Bella, how can you make a private phone call when you are working?” “Manager, I‘m sorry.” I stood up and said nervously. Bella secretly glanced at Herbert and found that his expression was still very serious.
The manager put in a good word for me. “Mr. Wharton, you know Bella very well. She has always worked very hard at work. She usually doesn‘t answer private calls at work. Is it because...she‘s pregnant? Most likely, her family is worried about her.” “There‘s no reason for her to pick up private calls during work hours.
All her hard work in this month has been deducted!” After that, he turned around and left the office. “Goodbye, Mr. Wharton!” The manager followed him and saw him off. Joey frowned and shook her head at me. I knew she was trying to say that I was unlucky.
I sighed and sat in my seat. Two hundred dollars for a month was gone.
After Herbert left, the manager came over and said, “Bella, it‘s the first time that Mr. Wharton been assigned to inspect a company. Why are you looking for such trouble? Because of you, this has left a bad impression for Mr. Wharton.” “I‘ll be careful next time.” I could only lower my head and apologize.
“Alas...” The manager went back to his office with his hands clasped behind his back and sighed.
After the manager left, Joey came over and whispered, “It‘s too realistic!” “You invited me to lunch at noon this month. I‘ve lost all my work,” I said. “You have two husbands now. One is your real husband, and the other is your fake husband. It‘s not your turn to invite me to dinner.” Joey said and went back immediately.
“Sure enough, money is higher than our friendship.” I complained in a low voice, secretly saying that was unlucky.
Near noon, I received a text message from my phone.
“I‘ll wait for you at the restaurant at noon, Herbert.”
Seeing this text message, I felt a little embarrassed because I had already agreed to Hank‘s invitation.
I thought about it for a while. I didn‘t dare to provoke the Herbert, so I made an excuse to call Hank and make another appointment.
Seeing that it was getting late, I quickly called Hank, but he couldn‘t get through. He must have set up a flight mode again. He usually set up a flight mode when he had classes or meetings. At this time, it was time to get off work. Everyone went out for dinner. I also took my bag and was about to leave.
Joey came over and said with a smile, “How about I treat you to something else?”
“No, I have to go to the VIP restaurant,” Bella said beside Joey‘s ear.
Joey immediately stared at her with terrifying eyes and said, “Five star restaurant, you are really the boss‘ wife now. Take me with you.”
I said seriously, “Herbert asked me to go. I don‘t know what he wants to do! It‘s great to have you with me.”
“Your husband invites you to dinner. It‘s not appropriate for me to go.” After that, Joey left.
I shook my head and went to the restaurant alone.
The restaurant was a five star restaurant opposite the company. There was nothing to say about the dishes, and the price was also very good. Usually, people like me could not afford to spend such a place.
On the second floor, Bella saw at a glance that Connor was waiting for her at the stairs. In the company, he was the only one who knew my real relationship with Herbert.
“Mrs. Mr. Wharton is over here.” Connor led me to meet with Herbert.
I didn‘t immediately enter. Instead, I looked at Connor and said with a smile, “You‘re too polite. You can just call me by my name in the future.” Why did I feel uncomfortable when I heard wife? And it was very likely that he would divorce me when I gave birth to my child.
In the name of Mrs. Wharton, didn‘t belong to me.
Connor laughed and said, “Right now, you are Mrs. Wharton. If I address you wrongly, he will blame me.”
My heart tightened in an instant. “Could it be that this is what the Mr. Wharton asked him to call me like that?”
Out of courtesy, I smiled at Connor, then turned and entered the private room.
This was a single private room, decorated very luxuriously.
The table was full of all kinds of delicacies, but there was no one on the chair.
I looked up and saw a back figure in a black suit standing by the window. After I entered the door, he looked back and quickly put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray. Then he said to Bella, “Let‘s eat.” Herbert took the lead in sitting in the leader‘s seat. Bella looked at so many chairs and hesitated for a moment. Then she chose the seat on the left of Herbert and sat down.
Only then did I notice that there was no meat on the table. It was all vegetables.
I want to eat meat! What was going on? BOSS was not only overbearing but also stingy?
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 26
Bella’s POV
“Why aren’t you eating?” Herbert asked me.
“Eat, eat,” I quickly nodded, took a bite of the vegetable with my chopsticks, and put it in my mouth. This vegetable is more delicious than the ones I ate before. I couldn’t help picking up another pair of chopsticks But… no matter how delicious it was, it was just vegetables.
I want to eat meat! Thesitated for a long time, and finally couldn’t help asking, “Don’t you usually eat meat?”
“You said you wanted to throw up when you smelled something greasy, and wanted to eat something light?” said Herbert.
“U…” For a moment, I didn’t know how to respond.
I did say that, but I deliberately said it to someone else? It’s just acting.
Ring… Ring…
Just then, my phone suddenly rang. I took out my phone and saw that it was Hank calling. I frowned at first, and then said to Herbert with a smile, “I’m going out to answer a call.” “Who are you calling? Do you need to avoid me?” As soon as he took a step forward, i heard the voice of Herbert coming from behind me.
I turned around and saw him staring blankly at the food on the table. I was afraid that I could hear the displeasure in his voice. I thought, “Hank and me are just ordinary friends. There is no ambiguous relationship between us.”
There’s no need for me to hide.
With that thought in mind, I pressed the answer button in front of Herbert.
“Bella, why haven’t you come yet? I’ve ordered the seafood meal you like.” As soon as the phone was connected, Hank’s voice came from the other end.
I immediately felt guilty, and then I quickly said, “I’m sorry, Hank. I suddenly had something to do, so I can’t go. Why don’t you eat by yourself?” “What’s the matter? Do you need my help?” Hank asked with concern. As soon as I looked up, I saw that the look on Herbert’s face was getting worse and worse, so I immediately frowned and refused, “No, no, I…”
Suddenly, a hand reached out and snatched my phone. “Alas.” Bella looked at Herbert took the phone. Then he said to the phone, “Is it Professor Hank? My wife Bella is having dinner with me. She is pregnant now. Don’t invite her to dinner again! Yes, that’s it. Goodbye.”
I didn’t know what Hank said to Herbert, but he hung up after saying a few more words and returned the phone to me.
Looking at the smug smile on his face, I was very angry.
“What do you mean, Herbert?” I asked him,
Herbert looked at me and said, “What I mean is very clear. I am your husband. It doesn’t matter if that professor doesn’t know our relationship. I told him that if he dares to pester you again in the future, don’t blame me for being rude to him!”
“Hanke and I are ordinary friends. It’s disrespectful for you to do this!” I protested.
At this time, he put his phone in front of me, stared at me, and said, “Bella, your current identity is my wife. Our pre-wedding marriage agreement is clear. You can’t keep in touch with any opposite sex!”
“L…” This time, as if I was choked, he could not say a word. I could only glare at the hateful person in front of me.
He had already memorized the marriage agreement, but what he said was right. I had indeed committed a crime, but in my heart, i would not admit it.
The next moment, Herbert stood up and said in a softer tone, “I have a meeting in the afternoon. I’m leaving now. You have to eat more!”
Eat more? I don’t want to eat anything anymore!
But I don’t dare to lose my temper with Herbert.
When he left, I glared at his back.
Just then, he turned his head back, which scared me so much that I quickly lowered my head. I didn’t know why I was like this.
I’m not afraid of anything.
Herbert seemed to be in a better mood. He said, “From now on, you’ll come here for lunch at noon every day.”
“Why should I listen to you?” I said.
“Because I’m your husband.” After saying that, he walked out.
Then the door was slammed shut.
The sound of the door closing made my heart beat faster.
I’m the only one left in the room.
I looked at the table full of vegetables and fruits. I didn’t have much appetite.
Just as I put down the tableware in my hand…
At this time, my stomach sounded a few more times.
In the end, I compromised. I picked up the tableware again.
After all, no matter what, he couldn’t waste food.
After I was full, I took my mobile phone and wanted to call Hank to apologize.
By the way, I also told him that I was married. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find Hank’s phone number. While I was in a hurry, I suddenly remembered that he had deleted Hank’s number on my phone after pressing it for a long time.
What right does this man have to delete the information on my contact list!?
There’s no ambiguous relationship between me and Hank. He’s so disrespectful.
I’m very angry!
I didn’t remember Hank’s phone number at all, and now I have no chance to explain. It seems that I can only explain it to him later.
I was about to exit the app when I suddenly saw a message on my phone. It was my husband’s name.I couldn’t help but widen my eyes. I had never saved such a number before! Looking at the phone number on it again, I finally understood. It must have been recorded by Herbert just now, because the phone number was his.
At this time, I was so angry that I burst into laughter! Herbert was also an adult. How could he play such a prank like a child?
When I got back to the office, Joey saw me and teased, “The food of the capitalist should be very rich, right?” I couldn’t help complaining, “It’s almost like feeding a rabbit. There’s no meat at all.” “No way!” Joey said in disbelief. “Yes!” I emphasized. At this time, there was a crisp sound of high heels.
I turned around and saw the well-dressed Emma Briden walking in.
I didn’t want to talk to her at all, so I snorted and turned back to my seat.
“Who’s in charge of the accounts? I’m here to collect money,” she said. “Here!” Joey raised her finger and sat in his seat. Emma Briden put the receipt in front of Joey, squeezed out a smile, and said, “Miss, I’m here to collect the bill today. Please do me a favor!” Joey glanced at the receipts and said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
“How are you going to write it down? These are the words which Mr. Wharton, just signed. Don’t tell me that you still don’t recognize the words which had been signed by him?” Emma Briden’s voice grew sharp.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 27
Bella‘s POV
The Emma‘s attitude annoyed Joey
Joey pointed to the work guide posted on the wall and said very seriously, “It‘s very clear that we need to make an appointment three days in advance to pay the bill. We also need to pay in advance. There is a limit to how much money we pay every day.
Such a big company needs to pay the bill every day. There are a lot of work to pay every day. If there is no plan, it will become very chaotic.”
Hearing this, Emma was so angry that her face turned pale. She reached out and took the list. She glared at Joey, turned around, and walked away in high heels.
After Emma left, Joey cursed a few words.
Bella was about to go forward to comfort Joey when her colleague A suddenly walked up to her and said mysteriously, “Okay, don‘t be angry. She has a powerful background. Be careful in the future and be careful that she will sue you!”
“What‘s the background of that woman?” Joey asked his colleague A.
“I heard that Emma Briden‘s eldest uncle and the father of Mr. Wharton were old comrades–in–arms. In fact, he even saved the life of his father. Do you think that‘s why he gave all of the company‘s unexpected insurance to Emma Briden?” His colleague, A, suppressed his voice.
“Right, right, right. I‘ve also heard about it. Recently, I‘ve often come to the Wharton Group to look for Mr. Wharton. It seems that Emma Briden have a good relationship with him!” His colleague B also came to join in the fun.
I couldn‘t help but shake my head. Emma just like her mother, my boss had gone too far in using the honest uncle to do such a business. My colleague, A, immediately said with a sinister smile, “Most business is secondary. It‘s true to hook up with him.”
“Is his taste that bad? I don‘t think any part of her body is real.” The female colleagues in the office began to make fun of her.
“That‘s right. Women who want to climb into the bed of the Mr. Wharton can be ranked in the Paris.”
“I usually laugh at these words, but today I feel uncomfortable. Is it because I have already gotten a marriage certificate with Herbert?”
But I knew very well that the reason why he married me was just for the sake of the child in my belly. Otherwise, he wouldn‘t have had no wedding. And it was very likely that I would be divorced after I gave birth to the child.
At this moment, Joey suddenly said, “Perhaps he‘s already married!”
I suddenly became a little nervous, for fear that she would continue to say something.
So he immediately grabbed her arm.
“No way! How did you know?” The female colleagues all looked at Joey.
I also looked at her and increased the strength in my hands.
I don‘t want to expose this.
Joey seemed to understand what I meant as well, and so he immediately explained, “I don‘t know anything. I thought that even if he was young, he would be so handsome and rich. He might already have a wife!”
Hearing what she said, I felt much more relaxed. Fortunately, Joey reacted quickly and did not say anything. Moreover, the surrounding colleagues did not seem to take Joey‘s words to heart.
They were still talking about it.
“I feel that there‘s no way that he‘s not married!”
“I feel like he isn‘t married either. That day, I saw that he wasn‘t wearing a wedding ring.”
“That‘s right. The secretary of the company, Allie, and the upper management of the company didn‘t reveal that Mr. Wharton has a wife!”
The female colleagues found any evidence that could prove that Herbert was not married. At this moment, I couldn‘t help but pursed my lips. I thought, “If these female colleagues knew that it was Herbert who got the marriage certificate with me, would she be torn apart by everyone on the spot?”
When the female colleagues were in the middle of having an affair with the Prince Charming, Herbert, Emma was back in her high heels.
Upon seeing her, everyone returned to their seats. Emma Briden walked up to Joey and tossed the paper in her hand onto her desk. She then raised his chin and said in an extremely arrogant voice, “You‘ll have to deal with it immediately. Don‘t tell me that there‘s no such thing as a rule. The signature of Mr. Wharton is a rule. You‘ll have to do it right away. I‘ll do it
There will be a date later!”
After saying that, Emma Briden reached out with her red fingernails and stroked the curly hair around her ear, her eyes full of disdain.
Joey frowned, reached for the receipt, and saw that it was indeed marked with the words immediately. She could only bear it and immediately lowered her head to operate the computer to transfer money.
Bella, who was sitting on the side, was also so angry that her face turned pale. This Emma Briden was so arrogant that he dared to come here to show off. However, the most annoying person was Herbert. Why was he so heartless to Emma Briden? Was it because of her uncle‘s niece?
Or was it because of the charming style of Emma Briden? Herbert could have had a one–night stand with her that day, but he was not innocent with this Emma Briden either.
Thinking of this, I felt that all the blood in my body was moving restlessly. I was very restless, but my reason was still forcing me to endure. Two minutes later, Joey handed the receipt to Emma. “It‘s done.”
“The money has been transferred? Are you sure the number is correct? Otherwise, I‘ll tell him that you weren‘t serious with your work!” After receiving the bill, Emma intentionally added a provocative sentence.
“The number won‘t be wrong. You won‘t have a chance to accuse the criminal,” Joey said, lowering his eyes.
I thought that she would leave with her money, but I didn‘t expect that she would turn around and walk up to me. She sneered at me and said, “Didn‘t you say that the father of the child in your belly was a head of state last time? Didn‘t he ask you to work hard to earn this little money? You should go back and be the queen. Oh, I understand.
You can‘t be a woman that he played with outside, can you?” I sprang to my feet and pointed at Emma upper body. “I‘ve yet to settle with you about how you‘ve spread the news about me. You‘ve come knocking on my door. I‘ll teach you a lesson today!” “Teach me a lesson? Just by yourself?
Bella, others don‘t know what kind of person you are. Do you think I don‘t understand? An ordinary employee like you wants to teach me a lesson? I‘m telling you, right now, the relationship between me and Mr. Wharton is not ordinary. Be careful, or else I‘ll get him to fire you!” Emma‘s tone was extremely smug.
Hearing this, I couldn‘t help laughing. “Haha...” “What are you laughing at?” Emma asked me. I snorted coldly and said, “I‘m laughing at your stupidity. Who do you think you are? Do you think that Mr. Wharton will listen to you?”
“You...!” Emma was enraged by me.
Before I could react, I felt she raised her hand and hit my face...
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 28
Bella‘s POV
When Emma‘s hand was about to hit me, I grabbed her wrist.
I‘ll push her back hard! “I have tolerated you for a long time. I warn you! If you provoke me again, I will hit you!” “Come on! Don‘t think I‘m afraid of you!” The Emma roared at me.
Bella‘s eyes were full of contempt for Emma. Her chest was filled with anger. She could no longer care about the Wharton Group. She could just put all the old and new enemies together today! “...Mr. Wharton?” Right at this moment, someone called out in astonishment.
I looked up and saw Herbert standing at the door of the office, behind him stood the financial manager, General Manager, Gary Ackerman.
There was no expression on Herbert‘s face, but his eyes were a little gloomy as he looked at us.
For a moment, I was a little flustered.
No one spoke a word.
There was a dead silence, and the atmosphere was frozen. Gary Ackerman quickly came over and said to me in a scolding tone, “Bella, what‘s wrong with you? Miss Briden is our partner. You should be polite, okay?”
I‘m not happy.
Be polite? Should I be beaten and scolded by this woman?
Just as I was about to say something, I saw Emma run to Herbert‘s side. She held her arm with both hands and said in an extremely aggrieved voice, “Herbert, look, your company‘s employees are going to hit people. Isn‘t the management too messy? Fortunately, it‘s me.
If I meet someone else, it will affect the reputation of the company.” “The person who took the initiative to find fault with me is rolling his fingers, but now she is going to accuse me first.”
I glared at her fiercely, especially when I saw that Emma was still holding his arm at the moment. I felt very uncomfortable, so I turned away and looked in another direction. I didn‘t want to see them snuggle up together.
The manager said, “Mr. Wharton, Bella‘s mother is ill. She‘s been in a bad mood recently. Please forgive her, Miss Briden.”
Before Herbert could speak, the Emma immediately said, “Every family has private affairs. If it‘s like this, the company‘s management will only become chaotic.”
“Does she think she is the wife of Herbert?”
I thought about my current identity and found it both ironic and ridiculous.
But I didn‘t say a word.
I don’t know what I should say.
At this time, Joey spoke. “It‘s Miss Briden up a fuss. Although we are employees of the company, we can‘t be beaten or scolded. As employees of the company, don‘t we have basic dignity?”
I looked at Joey gratefully.
Emma immediately pointed her finger at Joey and said, “Herbert, it‘s just that this employee‘s attitude is particularly bad and her efficiency is low. I really don‘t know how could she get into the company.” “You...” Joey was about to argue.
“Speak less. Do you really want to quit?” The manager immediately motioned for Joey to shut up.
“Yes, yes, yes.” The manager immediately nodded.
At this time, the Emma said, “Herbert, are you just going to write a review?”
Herbert said in an extremely cold voice, “Miss Briden, our relationship is not very close. Besides, this is a company, not a supermarket. Please pay attention to your words and deeds.”
“...” Emma who had been arrogant just now couldn‘t say a word.
“I‘ll go back to work.” Herbert nodded politely and turned to leave.
“Emma was so angry that she stamped her feet and left, which made everyone laugh in a low voice.
The matter was over. But I still felt a little uncomfortable.
I sat back in my seat and felt annoyed. Looking down at the paper and pen in front of me, I was even more annoyed. How could I write it? It was the one who took the initiative to find fault with me.
The most important thing was that his indifferent attitude made me very uncomfortable.
I sat there for a long time, but I couldn‘t write a word...
At noon the next day, when I was about to get off work, I received a call from Connor.
“Madam, let‘s invite you to a restaurant.”
I whispered into the phone, “I‘ve already asked my colleagues to bring me lunch.”
“Mrs, this is an order from Mr. Wharton.” Connor insisted. I couldn‘t help but frown, feeling a bit conflicted.
After all, he asked me to write a review. Maybe because I am his nominal wife, he doesn‘t have to care about my feelings? I felt a little uncomfortable, but I had to compromise. After all, I still have to continue working in this company. I still need this income.
The baby in my belly also needs to be born smoothly. Moreover, it was just for lunch. I could not feel sorry for anything, nor could I feel sorry for delicious food.
Yes, that was it.
I tried hard to convince myself. Twenty minutes later, I arrived at the restaurant. The dining table was already full of dishes, but Herbert didn‘t come here again. Only Connor stood in front of the dining table. Connor pulled out the stool in an extremely gentlemanly manner.
Then, he said, “Madam, there‘s a meeting at noon today, so I‘ll let you have your own meal.” Hearing this, I was very happy. After all, there was no need to see that man, and there were good food to eat.
The dishes on the table today were very delicious.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 29
Bella’s POV
After lunch, I returned to my office.
As soon as I sat down, the manager walked up to me and said, “Mr. Wharton read your review. He said that you didn’t write well and asked you to rewrite it!”
What? Rewrite? I was even angrier.
I think I’ve finished writing very well. Why did I have to rewrite it? That man was deliberately making things difficult for me?
The manager must have seen through my dissatisfaction. He patted me on the shoulder and said, “Remember to write it down again. Don’t leave a bad impression on him.”
“Yes.” I could only nod helplessly.
While I was thinking about how to write a review book, the manager announced a piece of news in the office that made everyone happy.
“Everyone, this weekend, the company will organize a company team building at Moon Bay resort. The company will cover all the expenses. Go back and get ready. We will set off on Friday afternoon!” The manager said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone clapped their hands happily.
Moon Bay resort was located in the suburbs of J City. The scenery was beautiful, and the environment was great. The hot spring was particularly famous, and the cost was not low. Who didn’t want to go for free?
“Manager Ackerman, will Mr. Wharton go with us?” At this time, a young female employee asked.
“That’s right. Will he go?”
As soon as she said that, several female employees stared at Gary Ackerman with their eyes wide open.
Looking at those crazy female colleagues, I couldn’t help shaking my head. If I let these people live with Herbert, their fantasies would be shattered.
“Well… I don’t know either!” After saying that, Gary went back to his office.
The other employees were still speculating. “Mr. Wharton will go there, won’t he? Didn’t manager just say THE company team building? He’s one of the company for sure.”
“Mr. Wharton is a boss, not an employee, okay?”
While everyone was talking, someone suddenly proposed to bet on whether Herbert Wharton would go to the resort or not. The bet was 500 dollars.
All of the men present bet that Herbert wouldn’t go. They said that the boss wouldn’t participate in such a low-level event. Perhaps on the weekend, Mr. Wharton would already have a date. It made sense for the ladies to think about it, and so there were very few people who bet Herbert to go.
I didn’t want to participate in such a boring bet, but Joey pulled me over and asked me in a low voice, “Will he go or not?”
“How would I know?” I replied in a low voice.
“You’re his wife. How can you not know? Quickly choose one. I’ll choose whichever one you choose!” Joey urged. “I really don’t know.” I frowned. “Then let’s pick any one of them,” Joey said. I looked at the bet on the spot. The money on “won’t go” side is many times more than the money on the “go” side.
If I want to win the money, I must choose the side that Herbert will go to. But I can’t guarantee that he’ll definitely go… After hesitating for a while, I still chose the “go” side. Joey pulled me aside and said, “In order to win money, you must let him go! A grand is enough for my monthly living expenses.”
Hearing this, I panicked a little. “Isn’t this just a game? It’s normal to lose or win. I can’t guarantee that he will go.”
“I don’t care. You’re his wife now. You must find a way to get him,” Joey said.
“I’ll try my best, but my review is for you to write!” I stuffed the paper and pen into Joey’s hands.
Joey held a pen and paper and said with a smile, “I promise to complete the task.”
I don’t have to worry about myself then, but how can I make sure that Herbert can go to the resort? On Thursday night, I tossed and turned in bed and couldn’t fall asleep.
I thought that I would have a chance to see Herbert in the next two days. At that time, I could ask him if he would go to the resort. But I didn’t know that he hadn’t returned home for two days, which made me very depressed.
Joey and I have placed a total bet of two to three thousand dollars, which is really enough for our living expenses for two months.
“I lost just like that? I can’t accept it.” I picked up my phone and sent a text message to Herbert. “Have you been very busy recently?”
I waited for a few minutes, but he didn’t reply. I threw my phone aside and thought, “It’s late. He’s either sleeping, or there must be a wonderful show. Shouldn’t Boss’s night life be wonderful?”
I was about to turn off the light and continue to sleep when my phone sent out a text notice.
I quickly took the phone and looked down. It was from Herbert. “I just finished my work today. Why haven’t you slept yet? This is not good for the baby.” It was already so late, yet the boss was still working.
This was really hard work.
“Not good for the baby? Well, this man only cares about the baby in my belly.”
“Rest early. You have to go to work tomorrow.”
Just as I was struggling, another message was sent in.
I quickly wrote a text message and sent it to him.
“Will you go to the resort with us tomorrow?”
Ring… Ring… This time, before I received a text message, my cell phone suddenly rang. The call was from Herbert. I was a little flustered, so I answered the phone as soon as possible. “Hello?” It was very quiet all around.
I could almost hear my own heartbeat. “Do you want me to go with you to the resort?” From the other end came the pleasant voice of Herbert.
I was a little nervous, but I soon calmed down. I said, “You are usually so busy with work, so you should take advantage of the weekend to relax. After all… your health is very important!”
The reason I said that was, of course, for the two thousand dollars. This man could only care about the child in my belly. Of course, I could only care about whether I would lose the two thousand.
“Got it. Go to bed early,” said Herbert.
“Then…” I hung up before I could say anything. “Herbert, are you going or not?”
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 30
Bella Battleer
On Friday afternoon, the company was on leave in advance. Four traveling buses stopped in front of the building, and the employees of our company lined up to get in the bus.
I sat in the bus and kept looking out. The company’s “C” levels had been here, but I still didn’t see Herbert
“Is he coming or not?” Joey was a little anxious.
“I don’t know either,” I replied with a frown.
“I don’t think he’ll go. We’ll set off in five minutes. My money!” Joey covered her face in disappointment.
“Well, at worst, I’ll treat you to lunch this month.” I had admitted defeat.
I wasn’t surprised by this result. I had a hunch that he wouldn’t come.
So at this moment, I was not disappointed. I just felt that it was normal.
“Mr. Wharton, you’re here!” At this moment, I suddenly heard a female cheer.
I looked up and saw a tall figure in a black suit coming from not far away, followed by a special assistant Connor, and the female secretary, Allie.
“He’s really here. We won! Joey grabbed my arm excitedly
Herbert’s eyes seemed to be looking in this direction, and his eyes were very soft, which made me
very tempted
What’s wrong with me? Why do I feel this way? The moment I saw him, I actually felt warm. It had nothing to do with winning the bet.
It was the joy from the bottom of my heart when I saw Herbert. “Mr. Wharton will stay with us for two days and two nights. Just thinking about it makes me excited!” The female staff nearby said. Joey was counting the money. A few minutes later, she handed me a stack of thick bills.
“You won a total of four grands!” I took the stack of money and suddenly felt a little upset. “Is this considered cheating? Does it count as using my husband as a bet?” At this moment, something more sensational happened.
Herbert actually got on our bus with his assistant and female secretary. I suddenly felt more excited on the faces of the female employees around me
Herbert, Special Assistant Connor, and the female secretary, of course, were arranged to the VIP section in the bus’s front. The bus suddenly became very quiet, and no one continued to speak
I could just see the back of Herbert from where I was sitting I couldn’t help looking at him a few more times, and then looked away, but I was telling myself in my heart, ‘What are you panicking about? Isn’t it just in the same car? Have you become a fangirl?
Just as the bus was about to set off, a woman’s voice suddenly came.
“Wait for me. Don’t drive. ‘Emma Briden took her suitcase and ran over in high heels.
“Why is she here? She’s not an employee of our company.’ Joey said. “Someone must have invited her.” I suddenly felt a little sour in my heart, and my good mood suddenly disappeared.
Could it be that Herbert invited her here? If it wasn’t for the company’s invitation, she wouldn’t have known that our company was organizing employees to travel, would she? “My good mood has been completely ruined.” Joey pouted “It’s just a pile of shit. Just pretend that you didn’t see her,” I said with a smile.
I told myself not to mind, not to mind. After entering the car, Emma sat directly next to Herbert, which immediately aroused the jealousy of all the women in the car,
The car started, and Emma began to deliberately flatter Herbert. Sometimes, she handed him water, sometimes fruits, and sometimes snacks. However, Herbert didn’t want to eat, but she didn’t give up. On the way, Emma was either telling jokes to amuse Herbert, or deliberately talking to Herbert. “This woman is so disgusting. You are the wife of Herbert,” Joey whispered in my ear.
glanced at the backs of the two and felt sad again. “What kind of wife am I?” I have a contract marriage, and it’s because of the baby in my belly.
After I give birth to the baby, we should have nothing to do with each other.
I said, “Hold on a little longer. We’ll arrive at our destination soon.”
Soon, the two-hour drive ended, and the bus successively drove into Moon Bay resort.
The scenery of Moon Bay resort was very beautiful, with a complete set of facilities. As soon as we not out of the car. I felt the fresh air blowing on my face.
My colleagues and I got the hotel room cards. Herbert, the special assistant, and the female secretary would not live in ordinary hotels. As soon as we got out of the car, they were led by the staff to the VIP hotel.
Emma Briden, on the other hand, was shamelessly dragging her suitcase and followed Herbert. It was obvious that she was going to stay at the VIP hotel tonight.
“What the hell? This woman is so shameless!’ Joey said.
“I’m tired. Let’s go to the room to rest.” Although I was disappointed, I still kept normal. “Oh, right. By the way, do you want to hand over your review letter to Mr. Wharton personally? After all, this is also a chance to get in touch with him!” Joey handed it to me. “No, I’m not Emma.
I can’t put down my dignity and get close to a man. Besides, I don’t want to see Emma!” | shook my head. Joey frowned. “But didn’t he ask you to hand over your review letter before the weekend?”
Looking at the review letter in my hand, I felt a little embarrassed. I really didn’t want to go to the VIP area to take the initiative to look for Herbert, and I also didn’t want to see that annoying Emma.
This was what Joey said. “Why don’t I send it over for you? That’s great. Hearing this, I looked at Joey gratefully.
Joey took the review letter and left.
I waited for about 15 minutes before she came back.
“Bella Bella, the VIP area is much better than our living environment Those hot springs, villas can’t be described in words.” Joey was very excited after she came back.
“Have you sent the review letter? I didn’t care about the environment of the VIP area. Anyway, I didn't live there
“I handed it over to his special assistant, Connor. He said he would personally hand it over to the hands of Mr Wharton.” Joey replied Hearing this, I was relieved After all, it was business.
There was a clear distinction between us In addition to work, there was no other intersection between us At this time, a colleague came to call for a gathering downstairs. Joey and I quickly changed our clothes and went downstairs.
At night, all the employees of the company were wearing gorgeous clothes to attend the dinner party.
I was no exception I was wearing a light green V-neck chiffon skirt and a silver hairpin on my head My slightly curly hair was hanging behind my head, and my face was wearing light makeup When I appeared at the banquet.
I could clearly feel that many male colleagues were looking at me Then, Herbert appeared. He was still dressed in a black suit. Wherever he went women’s eyes followed him.
