The taxi man dropped her at the front of the office and she walked out and paid the man, thanking the man.
She was surprised by that too for her humility. But she really have to be humble to live this life.In her past life, from a top socialite's daughter to someone her parent disowned and husband wanted to divorce. If not because of her arrogance, she should still be able to live in her past life. But she was rude to so many people, and no one helped her when she was down, not like they sent her. She was the cause of all her predicaments.She walked inside the big company and she was a little amaze at how big the company was. It was not her first time in it, but she was always more concerned about Michael, than she cared about any other things.No one noticed if anyone entered as she was just too simple, very simple to be noticed. If it was before, everyone would have known it's her, by her grand and iconic entrance. She entered the elevator full of people, and squeeze herself inside it, and some conversations - maybe gossips cannot escaped her ears."What Young mistress did yesterday was uncalled for. Why did she have to jumped into a pool, just to see the President? If Assistant Parker had not entered, she would have drowned." A lady in glasses said to her friends."If she drown, it's her cup of tea. That's why Mandy will always be better than her. Mandy was President's favorite until madam comes." One of the ladies said."Mandy is a good secretary, and an hardworking person. Madam is just too useless. She only knows how to sleep and wake up." Another said and they all laughed."I know the reason why boss keep going for Mandy. If it's me too, I will really go for an hardworking and humble person like Mandy, and not a useless clout chaser, and arrogant like madam. Talking about beauty, Mandy is always beautiful with her natural look and madam always look like Zombie. I bet she is ugly without makeup that's why she always apply excess makeup." A young man around them said.They all laughed and was surprised as they saw a young lady looking at them with a glare. She looked like a young girl sulking, with her big eye balls."Hello young girl. Hope you are not lost?" One of the ladies said.'Young girl?' she thought. Even though she was still only twenty two, these people can't be more older than her with two years. Well she has a small stature that make her look like a teen, but she was still their boss wife.In her past life, they only mistook her for a young girl, and that reason made her to put on much makeup, and a magnanimous dress, to look older.She got to the nineteenth floor and got down.They all were surprised to see her stepping out as them too. They also work in the nineteenth floor and wondered who she is."Is she a new worker?" the young man asked as he watched her walked in front of them."I doubt that. Her clothes is too simple for a worker." One of the ladies said."She has a huge temper. But she is so beautiful." The young man swooned over her.She walked to the president's office and saw the secretary who smiled at her and asked,"Hello young miss. Are you here for the president?" She asked. She couldn't help but shivered as she saw this face again. She remembered she killed this delicate lady due to jealousy. She was raped by the drug lord and his goons till she died, and she couldn't help but feel guilty as she stared into her eyes."I-I-Yes I am." She said and cleared her throat. How could she still be so scared, she is in front of her alive."Do you have an appointment with him?" She asked with a smile and she shook her head slowly."No. Just tell him, Mrs Sean sent me to him." She said and could swear she noticed the sneer on her face."President Sean said he doesn't want to see anything related to Mrs Sean." She told her politely."Tell him it's very important." Bella insisted.Mandy looked at her with a brief smile and took the telephone and punched some numbers on it."Hello sir." She said "A lady said she want to see you. Madam sent her to you." She said and after few seconds, she dropped the call. "He said he doesn't want to see you." She said to Bella who smiled bitterly and walked out of the place. She walked out of the office, and also out of the company. She went to the next cafeteria besides the company and sat down.In the President's office.He sat on his swiveled chair while his Assistant entered and showed him his phone."President. Madam have be calling since morning. Should I pick?" He said."Whatever." He only said,, flipping some files, but Assistant Parker knew better than to pick the call. That really meant his boss is not ready to speak with her."She sent a message to me now that you should check your phone." Assistant Parker said to Michael calmly.Michael only picked his phone and saw the message and his eyes bulged.'Let's divorce.' it was so simple as that.If he knew her not better, he would have believed the message, but the Bella he knew will never get divorced. She is too obsessed with him.Assistant Parker also peeked at the SMS and laughed."The madam I know will never divorce and would rather die than to get divorced." He said and Michael smirked.Bella is still trying to look for his attention when she saw that all she did, was not able to move him or draw him closer.He dialled her number and she picked immediately."Hello." She said but he didn't wait for her to reply and asked:"You really want a divorce?" He asked."Hmm" she nodded and he laughed."Where are you now?" He asked and she noticed she was silent for a moment before she replied;"Trinity cafeteria, beside your company." She said and he nodded."Good, wait for me there and let's go to the court." He said standing up, grabbed his briefcase and walked out while his assistant watched him in surprise....She didn't know if to feel happy or sad. She never thought he would agree to the divorce easily and it broke her heart a little to see that he didn't have an ounce of likeness for her.She set her heart to this divorce and she is going to live her happy life without him, on her own - even without her parents interfering in her life.She waited for him to come and when she saw his car parked in front of the cafeteria, she paid for the coffee she took and walked out to meet him.It's definitely going to be a long day.Michael folded his arms and leaned against the wall. His expression was unreadable, but there was a storm brewing in his eyes.Bella stared at him, her face flushed. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed by her own behavior. "I... I heard that car. Who's driving it now?" she asked, trying to break the tension."I knew you wouldn't come out of your room unless I left, so I called my assistant, Parker, to come and take my car away," Michael said, his voice cold. "At least, you would think I've gone."Bella felt a stab of embarrassment in her heart.Bella tried to play it cool, but her face was flushed with embarrassment. She pretended not to care as she said, "Oh, who cares?" and took a bite of her bread.Michael let out a scoff and walked over to her, snatching the bread from her hand and tossing it away. "Expired," he said, his voice flat.Bella stared at him, wide-eyed. She opened her mouth to protest, but nothing came out. The humiliation was too much."Where are the ma
"Yes Mandy, your girlfriend." she said."What has Mandy got to do with our issues, Bella?" He said, his eyes reddened."Oh! Me? I didn't say it has any issue. The problem is you and you alone." She spat."Don't tell me you are jealous?" He smirked, walking towards her in heavy steps and she also took the same steps back."I am not jealous. Why would I be jealous of that girl, Michael. She is your lover after all-" she hasn't finished when he sighed in frustration."Don't say the word 'lover', because I don't have anything as such." He spat, untying his tie in anger. "I heard you went home, why didn't you tell me that grandma told us to come?" He asked."I don't expect you to know, because you were with your lover.""Bella." He yelled in frustration. Why are you making a bug deal out of this? Remember we are divorcing in the next three months. Don't catch feelings okay." He spat.Bella was hurt by his statement but she pretended it didn't hurt, and smiled sadly to him."Wow! Who said I
As Bella scrolled through her computer screen, looking for a place to open a shop, she felt a surge of excitement. She had been dreaming of opening her own business for years, and now it was finally becoming a reality. Just as she was about to click on a promising-looking listing, her phone rang.The caller ID showed a number she didn't recognize, but she answered anyway. "Hello?" she said, her voice shaking slightly."Hello, Bella," a pleasant female voice said. "I heard you're looking for a place to open a shop. Is that right?"Bella was taken aback. How did this person know what she was doing? She hadn't told anyone about her plans. "I...yes, that's right," she said, her voice still quivering. "But...how did you know that?""Weren't you the one that paste it that you need a shop." the lady asked, her tone confused. "Oh, yes. It's me. Becca?" She asked."Of course, I am. I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you interested in a space that is already set up for a shop, or would y
Michael stormed into his office, fuming from the phone call he had just had with his grandmother.Mandy, and Parker, both looked at him in confusion, wondering what had happened."Why are you guys still here?" he snapped. "Don't you have your own offices?"Parker nodded his head, looking cowed by Michael's anger, while Mandy felt hurt by his harsh words. She turned and walked out of the office, fuming.Michael turned and saw that Parker was still there. He yelled, "What about you? You don't have your own office, do you? Get your filthy body out of my office!"Parker quickly left, muttering profanities under his breath. The other workers outside couldn't help but laugh, but they also wondered what was wrong with Michael. This kind of outburst was nothing new to them - their boss had a bad temper and was often angry.Parker went to the restroom to clean himself up, then returned to Michael's office with a big smile."I was waiting for you," Michael said, grabbing his coat. "You can fini
Michael worked late into the night, his anger fueling his productivity. He didn't even notice how exhausted he was, and his assistant Parker looked absolutely dead on his feet."Get me Guevara's file, Parker," Michael barked, his voice harsh with frustration. Parker stifled a yawn as he handed the file over, his eyes heavy with fatigue."Give Mr. Gilbert a call," Michael said firmly. "Tell him that the company needs him to be ready for an upcoming attack. And make sure he knows that he has to follow our instructions." Assistant Parker nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Do you need me to add anything else?"Michael asked.Assistant Parker nodded, but then his eyes widened as he realized what he had just agreed to. He looked up at the clock and saw that it was 2 a.m. "Uh, boss," he stammered. "It's 2 o'clock in the morning, sir," he said. "Mr. Gilbert is probably asleep. Should I really wake him up?""Yes, Parker, and make it snappy," Michael snapped. "Or do you want
Bella hurried to the living room and opened the door as the doorbell rang. She was relieved to see Ethan standing there, and she couldn't help but smile.Ethan took in the luxurious surroundings of the living room and was impressed by the simple yet elegant décor."Wow, your husband has good taste," he commented."Yes, he does," Bella replied, but her smile seemed a bit sad. She was eager to change the subject. "Did you get the medicine?"Ethan who noticed not anything, nodded and handed her the bag."Thank you." She said, smiling genuinely as she collected the bag. "You're very welcome," Ethan replied, noticing the gratitude in her voice."You can sit down," Bella offered, gesturing to the sofa. Ethan took a seat and felt the tension in the air. It was strange how different things were between them now. Back in China, they were so close. Now, it felt like they were worlds apart.Well, she is happily married, he thought.Bella seemed lost in thought, her gaze fixed on the floor. Etha
