âIâm sorry for not staying longer, Ms. Bella and Ms. Amelia.â
Steven sighed guiltily. âThen Iâll head back first. Ms. Bella, if you encounter anything, you must call me
as soon as possible. I will rush over immediately!â
âOkay, okay. Youâre such a nag. Go ahead.â
Bella pushed him gently toward the car. Steven stared at her longingly before he left reluctantly.
Amelia watched their interaction helplessly. She pursed her soft lips as jealousy filled her heart.
However, she did not resent her sister because she thought that Bella was the most perfect woman in
the world. It was only natural that Steven would like Bella.
âA weak, inferior, plain Jane like me doesnât deserve Steven. But why did Bellaâs ex-husband divorce
her? Is it because he has some terminal illness and doesnât want Bella to be widowed?â
Bella booked a luxury private room. As soon as the two sisters arrived at the door, they heard earth-
shattering howls coming from the opposite room.
âUgh⦠Thatâs horrifying!â Amelia tightened her grip on her sisterâs arm and shrugged her shoulders.
âIf thatâs called singing, all donkeys can become singers!â
Bella quickly pulled Amelia into the private room, far away from the lunatic across the hall. The two of
them ordered some beers, a fruit platter, and an assortment of snacks.
They were quick to set up their song queue.
From oldies to pop songs, the Thompson sisters sang to their heartsâ content.
Bella sang, danced, and drank. She was in a good mood after winning the Baxim project, so she got a
little tipsy.
âAmelia⦠I need to pee. You should wait for me here. Donât wander around!â Bellaâs vision was a little
blurred, and she began to slur in her speech.
âBella, are you drunk? Iâll go with you.â
Amelia saw that Bellaâs fair and supple cheeks were a little flushed, like a ripe peach. Bellaâs beautiful
eyes were a little dazed and watery. She hurriedly went over to help Bella, but Bella pushed her away.
âNo! Iâm older than you, so how could I get drunk? You should be the one getting drunk first. Iâll have to
send you back to the dorms too!â Bella hiccupped right after.
Amelia did not know if she should laugh or cry. What kind of logic was that?
Bella came out of the bathroom and walked back alone, using the walls as a support.
At first, her limbs were not functioning properly, but now her head was starting to get a bit
dizzy.
The luxurious karaoke was decorated like the Palace of Versailles. It was magnificent, with
mirrors everywhere. The room numbers were not arranged in order either. Thus, Bella quickly lost her
way.
She was drunk and dazed, so she had been wandering around the maze-like corridors until she felt
that she had arrived at her room.
When she opened the door, she bumped head-on into a tall, muscular man.
âOw!â
Bella let out a soft cry. Her head was already dizzy, and she was stumbling on her high heels, so her
weak and soft body started to fall backward.
The manâs eyes flickered as he quickly supported Bellaâs back.
The man could make out the contours of Bellaâs slender back with his large palm because Bella was
only wearing a thin silk shirt. She was amazingly thin and fit perfectly in his palm.
The manâs breathing became a little heavier. He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses over his upturned
eyes and stared at Bellaâs beautiful face as if he were appraising treasure.
âMiss, youâre drunk.â
âUm⦠No!â Bella stared drunkenly at the manâs elegant and restrained face.
Suddenly, she curled her red lips and raised her hand to take off his gold-rimmed glasses.
The manâs eyes suddenly became sharp and solemn.
The last person who accidentally knocked off his glasses had become fish food in the ocean.
âHehe⦠Critter! Youâre Critter!â
The man gasped, and his expression changed dramatically!
His deep eyes quickly scanned Bellaâs rosy face before he asked tentatively in a deep voice, â
Bella Thompsonâ¦?â
