Kenneth also took out his phone, “Whatever you transferred, I’ll match it. We need to let Bella know, she’s got not just her mom’s love, but also her dad’s!”
Hearing this, Serena was insanely jealous. She wanted to show Kenneth and Louisa that Mirabella had grown up in such an environment, her heart was already complicated and no longer innocent!
Otherwise, how could she reveal so many dark sides of human nature?
But why did her parents think in such a different way from normal people…
Her phone buzzed a few times at that moment, and Mirabella picked it up to see it was Romeo calling
“Bella” Romeo’s voice was deep and magnetic, “I’ve been thinking about you.”
Mirabella asked somewhat helplessly, “What’s up?”
“Are you swamped with work?” Romeo asked in his lazy but pleasing tone, “Do you need me to help you out?”
“No need
“I’ve been thinking about you,” Romeo said, “I wish I could finish all your work for you so you’d have time to be with me. But I still have an hour before I see you.” Romeo sounded a bit anxious, “I want to video call you, just for a bit.”
Romeo seemed to know she would refuse, so he didn’t wait for her to speak before he started pleading. “Just for a little while.”
Mirabella stayed silent.
“Bella… Romeo pleaded again, “I promise it won’t interfere with your work.”
Mirabella, having no other choice, finally agreed to his request. Soon after, his video call came through.
As soon as Mirabella answered, someone knocked on her door.
“Come in.”
“Ms. Bennett, your coffee,” Dean said, placing the coffee on the desk, completely unaware of her ongoing video call.
“Ms. Bennett, you’re famous again! The whole company is talking about you, someone even wrote a prose piece about you.”
“Oh?” Mirabella took a sip of her coffee, seeming somewhat surprised.
“Let me recite it for you…”
Dean cleared his throat and began reciting: “If Ms. Bennett gets angry with you, you should be scared; If Ms. Bennett summons you to court, you’re going to jail; With Ms. Bennett here, the bad guys will fail; With Ms. Bennett here, we’re sure to prevail! Whether you’re strong or weak, you better fix your mistakes; because if Ms. Bennett takes action, you’re out of the company in a blink!”
Mirabella couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless upon hearing this.
The man on the other end of the video call started laughing, seemingly entertained by the prose.
“Ms. Bennett, from this prose, it’s clear how highly everyone respects you… when you presented that evidence to those five people today, it was so cool! Do you know what the other people in the company are saying about you?” Dean spoke excitedly. “The female employees say they’re attracted to you, hoping to marry you! And some of the male employees are planning to confess their feelings for you after work.”
Mirabella almost choked on her coffee upon hearing this.
“They’re saying you’ve only been here for a week and you’ve already found seven problematic people, including some on the production line… They’re all betting that within a week, you’ll send Oscar to the police station.”
Dean leaned in close to Mirabella, smiling, “Ms. Bennett, I bet a buck, not sure if I can win…”
Mirabella casually replied, “Bet more.”
“Huh?”
Mirabella lazily said, “Raise the stakes.”
Upon hearing this, Dean became instantly excited, “Ms. Bennett, are you sure? If you are, I’m willing to bet all my money!”
Mirabella hadn’t even responded yet.
“But right now the evidence isn’t enough, the police might let him go…” Dean said regretfully…
“Wouldn’t it be good if he gets away?” Mirabella raised an eyebrow, speaking with interest, “I’d actually prefer if they let him go.”
“Huh?” Dean was confused, why would she want that?
No one can fully comprehend Mirabella’s thoughts, but as Dean observed her brimming confidence, he had a strong premonition that he was going to win!
He must increase the stakes!
“By the way, Ms. Bennett, Oscar has connections at the headquarters… Be cautious!” Dean warned.
“Very well,” Mirabella replied nonchalantly. No matter how influential he might be, in the face of evidence, all his connections would crumble.
“Ms. Bennett, you are so talented at such a young age. What kind of person would dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with you as your future partner?” Dean suddenly wondered, gazing at Mirabella’s stern countenance.
Mirabella glanced at the man in the video, and he was looking back at her. She did exude a powerful aura, but Romeo was no less formidable.
“Ms. Bennett, are you willing to make a bet?” Dean challenged.
“What are you betting on?”
“I’m betting that your future partner is gonna be an absolute catch! I have no idea what he’ll be like, but I bet he’s gonna be good–looking, loaded, and high–status! He’s gonna be smitten by your beauty, that’s for sure!”
“You got that much free time?” Mirabella asked carelessly “Can you handle the work of those five guys for me?”
“Ms. Bennett, I just remembered I have something else to attend to, I’ll be right back,” Dean replied quickly.
As he was about to leave, he heard a male voice.
“Mr. McMillian, these documents need your review”
That was Carl’s voice. He walked into Romeo’s office, hoping Romeo could make decisions on several projects.
Hearing this, Dean stopped, ‘Ms. Bennett, I think I just heard a man’s voice. You hiding a guy in your office or something?” On the other side, Carl seemed to have heard Dean’s voice and asked confusedly, “Mr. McMillian, who’s talking?”
Then, both Carl and Dean discovered their boss was on a video call.
Their faces were filled with shock.
Especially Dean, his mouth hung open in surprise.
“Ms. Bennett you…”
Since when did Ms. Bennett know such a big shot?
“You guys are on a video call?”
Holy moly!
Is he dreaming?
He saw that handsome face on Ms. Bennett’s phone!
Romeo!
The world’s richest man, Romeo!
Didn’t people say he was cold–hearted and didn’t like women?
Why was he on a video call with Mirabella?
“Ms. Bennett, you guys aren’t…”
“Bella, aren’t you going to introduce him?” Romeo’s voice was laced with interest. “Is this your assistant?”
