Chapter 93
Bride of Mr.Billion
Herbertâs POV:
âDo you really like Bella? Sheâs already married and has a child. Itâs best that you donât mess with her!â
Klein waved his hand.
Married?
Gave birth to a baby? In just half a year?
I was stunned for a moment, but soon calmed down. âMy taste is not that bad that Iâm interested in a woman who is pregnant and married!â
After that, I opened the door and left the office. I got into the car and ordered, âLetâs go!â âMr. Wharton, where are we going?â Connor asked. âAny place!â I said casually.
At this moment, I was in a terrible mood.
That woman is really something! We hadnât seen each other for only half a year, but she was not only married, but also pregnant! Then the images of Bella and Hank kept flashing in my mind, and I clenched my fists. Connor was driving. After quite a bit of time had passed, the vehicle stopped. Connor said, âMr.
Wharton, why donât you get off the car and take a walk?â
I looked out of the window. It was this place! At the thought of seeing that lovely little guy later, I immediately restrained my emotions.
I just wanted that angel to see my gentle side. I didnât want him to be afraid of me. I opened the car door after I sorted out my emotions.
Bellaâs POV:
On this day, I hid in the office for the whole morning. After making sure that Herbert was gone, only then did I dare to come out from my office. I could only pray that he wouldnât appear often, or I might really lose this job. However, in the following month, it was very peaceful. Herbert had never appeared in the company again, although the company had officially signed a contract with the Wharton Group. Of course, Herbert had never appeared in my life. When he didnât show up, I felt lucky.
After all, it meant that I wouldnât have too much trouble. I could continue to do this job.
But on the other side, I was a little disappointed.
If he didnât show up, did it mean that he had completely let go of our relationship?
When this thought came to me. I couldnât help mocking myself. âDo you really think that he still has feelings for you?â
The kiss in the office was because I angered him and made him jealous and angry.
In fact, I was nothing in his heart.
I didnât know if he was already married to Caroline, because I had never asked Joey anything about Herbert.
Joey had never mentioned the name of Herbert in front of me too.
Perhaps Herbert and Caroline were having a very happy life. At the thought of the happy scene of Herbert being with other women, I felt very sad.
This feeling was very contradictory. On the one hand, my rational mind told me not to have any expectations for Herbert. We couldnât have anything to do with each other. On the other hand, I couldnât control my feelings. I still liked Herbert. If he didnât care about me, or if he was with another woman, I would be very sad⦠You! Stop being so pretentious. It took me a lot of effort to get out of the previous state. I finally started a new life like this. I was living a good life now. I didnât want to think about the past anymore. I was already in the past with Herbert. We had nothing to do with each other anymore. I had to stop thinking about it. I couldnât think about it anymore. I said that to myself with all my might! Finally, under my suppression, my mood calmed down.
That evening, because it was the end of the month, I worked for an extra hour. When I came to the gate of the building, I found that it was raining outside and I didnât have an umbrella.
Just when I didnât know what to do, a black car suddenly stopped in front of me. The window of the driver seat was rolled down. Kleinâs face stretched out from within. âCome in. Iâll send you off!â âOkay.â At this time, I definitely couldnât get a taxi, so I happily nodded and agreed. After sitting in the passenger seat, Klein started the car engine. âMy house is just a few hundred of meters away. You can just drop me at the intersection.â I said with a smile.
âOkay!â
A few hundred meters away, Klein sneezed several times in a row. âBoss, did you catch a cold?â I frowned and asked.
âA bit.â Klein nodded.
âThen take your medicine quickly.â I reminded him. âIt doesnât matter. Iâm so strong.â Klein was very confident in his own body. Since Klein had already said so, it wasnât appropriate for me to continue persuading him. After all, the relationship between Klein and I was that of a boss and a subordinate. I shouldnât interfere too much in the private affairs of the boss.
Just then, my phone rang! I looked down and saw that it was Joey calling, so I quickly picked it up. âWhat time are you coming back? Iâm at your door. I bought some food for you. Letâs eat hotpot today.â Joeyâs voice came from the other end. âOkay, Iâll be there in two minutes.â After that, I hung up the phone. In this city, Joey and I were best friends. She would often buy food to eat with me. I knew that Joey was afraid that I would be lonely, so she always came to accompany me in this way.
I was very grateful for having such a good friend.
âYour family urged you?â Klein asked. âYes.â I replied.
Joey is already my family. She was closer to me than my family. Klein laughed. âThatâs wonderful.â âBella, in fact, I appreciate you very much. In my impression, you work very seriously and have a very sincere character. You are also very steady in doing things. You donât do any conspiracy in the company, and you donât push people away. I am very relieved to let you do many important things. In fact, you can almost handle them very well and never complain. I didnât expect Klein to suddenly praise me like this. I was a little happy. âThank you for your compliment, Boss.â
âYou donât have to be so polite. In the company, Iâm the Boss. But if Iâm not in the company, we can also be friends. You can just call me Klein.â âAlright, Klein. Thank you for your appreciation. I will definitely focus on my work.â I said sincerely.
Klein laughed and nodded.
âIâm home. See you tomorrow!â I waved at Klein, then quickly jumped out of the car, covered my head with a bag, and left.
When I went upstairs, most of my body was wet.
Sure enough, I saw Joey waiting for me at the door with the dishes.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â Joey looked at me strangely, so I immediately asked. âWho is the man who sent you back?â Joey asked me. âYour vision is really good.â I rolled my eyes at her and entered the door.. âHey, this building is on the roadside. I saw everything through the window of the corridor just now. The most important thing is that you got out of the car and ran for more than ten seconds before the car drove away. What does this mean? The man inside must have a good impression of you!â Joey analyzed while changing her slippers. âPlease, that is my boss? It was raining today, and he sent me back. Otherwise, I would definitely be soaked in the rain!â I took the food from Joey and went to the kitchen. Joey immediately ran to the kitchen. âSo what if heâs your boss? Itâs not your first time dating a boss, is it?â
I was stunned. Joey seemed to know that she had said something wrong, so she said apologetically, âIâm sorry, Bella. I shouldnât have mentioned this sad thing.â I relaxed a little and explained with a smile, âThis time, my boss is a lawyer, and he is the most famous lawyer among the young lawyers. He is also the boss of this law firm, and he is also very handsome. Itâs impossible for him to like me.â âThatâs not necessarily true. Youâre also very charming.â Joey touched me with her shoulder as she washed the vegetables. I didnât want to bicker with Joey, so I quickly changed the subject and said something else.
We chatted while eating hot pot. By nine oâclock, the wind and rain outside had not stopped. Joey decided to stay here overnight. Suddenly, I remembered something very important. âOh no! I lost my phone.â âWell, I didnât see your phone the whole night.â Joey frowned. âOh my, I remember. I must have left in my bossâs car!â I quickly remembered that the last time I had used my cell phone was in Kleinâs car.
