Bride of Mr.Billion

Chapter 92

Bella’s POV:

Herbert’s kiss was overbearing and powerful, as if it was not only a kiss, but also a way of punishment.

I felt pain and suffocation.

Although I was angry, there was nothing I could do but let him continue to kiss me… Until the sound of a conversation came from outside. “Boss, you’re back?” Zoe, greeted Klein.

“Zoe, is Mr. Wharton inside?” This was Klein’s voice.

“Yes, Bella is inside as well.” Zoe replied.

“Well…” The voice outside made me feel scared. I didn’t want others to see me kissing Herbert.

This was the place I worked at. I didn’t want any rumors to spread like before.

However, Herbert did not let go of me immediately. Instead, he kissed me for a few seconds before releasing his grip on my wrists.

Feeling his wrist loosen, I immediately reached out and pushed him in the chest, and Herbert was pushed more than a foot away. The next moment, the office door was pushed open! In the blink of an eye, I saw Klein walk in with his briefcase in hand. “You…” Klein’s gaze was on the two of us, and I felt very guilty.

| said hurriedly, “Oh, Mr. Wharton is in a hurry. There’s a meeting after this, so he asked me to give you a call.”

I looked up and saw that Herbert was staring at me with a pair of slightly narrowed eyes. I quickly lowered my head in panic.

“I don’t know what’s wrong today. It isn’t the rush hour period but I’ve been stuck in a traffic jam.” Klein laughed.

“I feel that today’s jam is at the right time.” said Herbert. “What do you mean?” Klein looked at Herbert with a puzzled look on his face. But I understood the meaning of his words. Recalling the kiss just now, my cheeks became hot again. While Klein wasn’t paying attention, I glared viciously at Herbert. “You have to ask your financial manager.” Herbert also stared at me.

Klein turned to look at me curiously as well. “Oh, Mr. Wharton said that the iced coffee is very delicious. If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t be able to leisurely drink coffee here.” After I finished speaking, my smile was a little unnatural, because these words didn’t sound real. “He really is very busy normally. Usually, he doesn’t even have the time to sit down and drink coffee.” Klein didn’t suspect me as he continued to speak.

16.56 At this moment, I truly felt a bit guilty towards the trust which Klein had for me.

It seemed that even if I said that the coal ball was white, he had to agree. Yes, it was white, as white

as snow.

I looked up and saw Herbert staring at me with a strange look. I knew I couldn’t stay here anymore, because I didn’t know what he would say next. “I’ll go out first.” I quickly exited the office. After leaving the office, I touched my lips and felt a little pain. “Miss Stepanek, you really are amazing. You were able to spend such a long period of time alone with Mr. Wharton.” At this time, Zoe suddenly laughed in a low voice. “What… do you mean?” I asked guiltily.

Could it be that the sound of Herbert kissing me just now was heard by Zoe?

My cheeks became hotter. If so, would I face all kinds of public opinions and even lose this job like my previous job?”

This was something I didn’t want to happen. “Mr. Wharton is really handsome, but his personality is as cold as ice. I’m scared of him when I see him!” Zoe stood up and whispered into my ear. Hearing her words, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. I shrugged my shoulders and pretended to be scared. “I’m also very afraid, but I have to do what Boss told me to.” “That’s right. Right now, we must definitely not offend the great client of our company, Mr. Wharton.” Zoe said.

“Client?” I asked.

Zoe explained with a smile, “You don’t know yet, do you? Our company is the legal counsel for the Wharton Group and we are currently discussing the details. If nothing goes wrong, we’ll be able to sign the contract in a few days.” Hearing this, I couldn’t help but cry in my heart. How could there be such a coincidence?

I couldn’t help but feel nervous. I couldn’t believe that the QW Law Firm has a business relationship with the Wharton Group. Wouldn’t that mean that he would often show up in the future?

“Oh, I see.” I tried to keep calm and nodded with a smile. Then I ran back to my office. Closing the door, I took out the makeup mirror from my bag. My face was so red and my lips were swollen. I angrily slammed the makeup mirror on the desk, touched my slightly painful lips, and my heart beat was very fast.

It had been more than half a year, and that damn Herbert had appeared again. Was I unable to get rid of him for the rest of my life?

This man was so hateful!

When he was with me, he had an affair with his ex-girlfriend. Now that we were separated, he deliberately approached me! What on earth was he trying to do?

Herbert’s POV:

I saw Bella.

Half a year had passed, but she was still as beautiful as before.

To be honest, when I saw her, I was very excited. But when I saw her politely address me as ‘Mr. Wharton’, I was very upset.

We used to be the closest, but now she had to be so polite and distant.

I forced a kiss on her as I couldn’t control my feelings and longing.

Her lips were as soft and sweet as before.

When I saw her panic in my arms, I was very happy. It meant that her body still had a reaction to me.

By this time, she had already left the office.

Only Klein and I were left in the office, but I was still missing that kiss,

Klein sat in front of his desk, placing a thick stack of documents on it. “You could have arranged for a subordinate to collect the contract. Why are you here in person today?”

I looked at him and said, “I happened to pass by your company, so I came up to have a look.”

At this moment, Klein seemed to have noticed something. He excitedly teased, “Did you just have a date with a woman?”

“What do you mean?” I didn’t understand why he suddenly said that.

Laughing, Klein pushed a pack of tissue in front of me, then pointed at his mouth.

I immediately understood why he said that. I touched my lips and saw some lipstick marks on my fingers.

Then, I took out a tissue and wiped it on my mouth. I looked down at the tissue in my hand. There was indeed lipstick mark, but I didn’t care. On the contrary, I was in a good mood. This was Bella’s lipstick

I put the tissue into my trouser pocket and did not throw it directly into the trash can.

Klein continued to tease me. “You’re in a good mood today? Who did you go on a date with just now? Was it Caroline or do you have a new target?”

I didn’t tell him in details about Bella and I, so I stood up and said, “I have something to do. I’ll go first.”

With that, I picked up the stack of contracts on his desk and walked out.

“Since you still want to have a meeting, then you can go.” Klein rose to his feet and saw me off.

A meeting?

I suddenly remembered that this was the excuse that Bella had just found for me.

The woman’s face appeared in my mind again.

I turned around and said, “Your finance manager is a new recruit? Why haven’t I seen her before?”

“It’s been more than half a year. How many times have you been here in this year? How could you possibly know all of my dozens of employees?” After Klein finished speaking, he immediately asked, “Do you have a good impression of Bella? But it’s too late. She’s already married!”

“What did you say?” I asked in surprise. Did she really get married? With Hank?

The anger was burning in my heart.
