Chapter 450

Bella‘s POV When it was almost noon, I suddenly received a call from Herbert Seeing that it was his call, I immediately picked it up with a smile. “Mr. Wharton, I wonder which restaurant you‘re at now? You don‘t have to pick me up. I can go by myself.”

I didn‘t know why, but now that I couldn‘t see him for a long time, I missed him very much I felt that I was more and more dependent on him in our relationship. I wanted to be with him every day, but he needed work and I had to work hard for my career. Otherwise, I really wanted to be with him 24 hours a day.

But this time, he said in a serious tone, “Bella, I‘m sorry. I have something to do at the last minute. ! cant have lunch with you at noon today.”

Hearing this, although I was very disappointed, I also knew that it was not his intention.

The next moment, I played the role of a reasonable wife. “Work is more important, and you‘re engaged in social activities. I‘ll be very considerate to you.”

After a moment of silence, he said warmly, “You are more important than work. What happened today has nothing to do with work.”

“What are you going to do at noon?” At this time, I asked in confusion.

Herbert then replied, “William will bury Daniel Morgan‘s corpse and carry out the funeral. After all, Daniel Morgan is considered number one in the business world of A City. In addition, K.G. Software Company is an old customer of the Wharton Group. That‘s why several business friends want to pay their respect.

The funeral home is in the suburbs, and I definitely won‘t be able to make it back at noon.”

Hearing this, my hand, which was holding my phone, froze, and I had mixed feelings in my heart.

William still buried his father‘s corpse.”

When I thought of Ryan‘s sudden death, although I was very reluctant, I would bury his body and hold his funeral The father and son used to have a good relationship, but since William‘s mother passed away, the two of the gradually drifted away In fact, there is still a deep relationship between them, so their situation is different from yours and Ryan‘s.’ Herbert soon understood what I was thinking I realized that he really knew me better and better. He knew everything “Viell, go ahead. I’ll have lunch with Joey” I was a little depressed and quickly hung up the phone At noon, I saw that it was almost lime, so I opened the door and went out of my office As soon as I opened the door, I suddenly saw Joey looking at a bag in a daze When she saw me cofring out, she immediately hid it under the table I could help but feel strange Joey and I were almost wearing the same pair of pants She knew almost everything about me and Herbert‘s life in bed there was no need to hide anything from me The next moment, I walked up to Joey and asked her with a stern face, ‘What were you buding just now?

“What... what did I hide?” Joey stammered.

I took a closer look at Joey and found that her face was flushed red as if someone had pulled her little braid. I couldn‘t help but feel more suspicious.

“What did you hide under the table just now?” I bent down and reached for the bag under the table.

Joey stopped her. “Stop it… What can I hide?”

“I‘ve already seen it, yet you‘re still lying.” This was the first time I had seen Joey like this, and I thought that something must be off.

At this time, when Joey saw me, she made up her mind and took the bag under the table to the desk.

“Take a look. You‘re so curious!”

I took a look at Joey, then I took the bag and looked inside. It was a black shirt.

The next moment, I took out the clothes from the bag in confusion. When I opened it, I saw that it was a man‘s pants and a price tag. Seeing the price on it, I couldn‘t help frowning.

“Did you buy this?” I asked, holding the pants.

“Yes.” Joey nodded.

At this time, I couldn‘t help but ask in surprise, “You don‘t have a husband or a boyfriend. Who do you buy pants for? Your brother is the only one closest to you, but you have no contact with him now. You won‘t spend more than a hundred dollars to buy a pair of pants for him.”

“Can‘t I buy it for my male friend?” Joey put her arms in front of her chest, looking like a dead mouse that felt no cold.

“A male friend? What‘s his surname? Where does he live? Where does he work? Do I know him?” |

asked a series of questions in one breath.

Seeing that she really couldn‘t take it, Joey had no choice but to say, “Sigh, didn‘t I accidentally knock the coffee over Connor‘s pants last time? That pair of pants is very expensive, and I‘ve always felt uneasy, so I just wanted to buy a pair of pants to compensate him. It‘s not as complicated as you think.”

Hearing this, I was silent for a moment, and then I kept staring at Joey.

“Hey, why are you looking at me like that?” Joey‘s eyes flashed.

Then, I looked at Joey and teased her. “I don‘t think that‘s right. This isn‘t your usual style. Tell me, do you have a good impression of him?”

At this time, Joey‘s face turned red!

“You‘re blushing. I guessed right!” | pointed to Joey and said.

“If you keep talking nonsense, I‘ll be angry. All right, all right. It‘s past 12 o‘clock. I‘m starving to death.

Let‘s go for lunch.” In the end, Joey pulled me and left.

I understood Joey too well. I had guessed what was on her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn‘t be blushing, and she wouldn‘t have changed the topic so quickly. Besides, she invited me to have a big meal very generously today, so I was more convinced of my guess.

I began to feel a bit worried for Joey. Last time, I was the one who had matched Connor with Joey.

Although Joey didn‘t know anything about it, Connor had said that he didn‘t have any feelings for Joey, which was why he didn‘t bring it up again.

Right now, Joey really wanted to fall in love with Connor, but Connor didn‘t like her.

11.49 Joey would definitely be sad, so I was a little sad. What should I do to keep Joey from being hurt?
