"Why do you keep asking so many questions when we're going?" Stev instead asked back and did not answer the question of the woman beside him correctly.
Bella sighed softly as she felt the car she was in slowly starting to move.
"I just wanted to know. Couldn't it be if I just asked?" Bella asked without looking at the man next to her at all.
"Fine. But all you have to do at this point is be quiet. Don't talk much while I'm still driving fine," said Stev.
After that Bella stopped asking questions. The woman was just silent while continuing to stare at the road in front of her.
She doesn't know where she is right now. Stev stopped the car at the edge of a large, beautifully decorated garden. Many tables and chairs were neatly lined up there. Formed several groups of people in almost clothes. Neat and looks luxurious.
Now Bella knows why Stev told Na
Bella stared in surprise at the woman in the bright red short dress who was now rushing into Stev's embrace. As if she really missed the man in her arms. "Let go," the man said coldly. Makes Bella who was next to Stev chuckle softly. Did not expect Stev to reject the beautiful woman right away. Bella is sure they both know each other. But Stev seemed displeased with her presence. It could be seen from Stev's face, which was getting more and more annoyed. "Stev ... You can't be like that to your sister," said Mr. William as he approached the red-haired woman who was the same color as her dress. Of course, what just came out of William's mouth immediately made Bella widen her eyes in surprise. "Stev's sister?" Bella muttered unconsciously. While Mr. William, who heard what Bella just muttered, smiled faintly. "Did Stev not tel
"Are you deaf so you can't hear what I said earlier?" said Stev in a harsh voice. Make Bella say sorry to the man. "Get on up quickly," said Stev again. When finished Bella sat down and fastened the seat belt. It felt strange that Stev didn't start the car right away. "Stev ..." Bella called, turning to the man beside her. She didn't know what made Stev stare at the party again. Even though the man said he wanted to go immediately because it was boring to be there. As Bella followed Stev's eyes, she realized. If Stev looked back at his father with the woman named Excel earlier. But that's not what Bella's focus point is. But, one more person who came and joined them. An adult woman, who has the same hair color as Excel. Oh no! Don't say if that—, "She's my stepmother," said Stev
She couldn't blame Stev because he hated him father now. The feelings of that person are different. There are people who accept their parents remarrying and have stepparents, but there are also those who do not accept that. Depending on how they feel it, how to deal with it. And maybe this wasn't Stev wanted. The man must have felt that this was unfair to him. His mother who just died one year ago, and a few months later, the man's father remarried. Bella doesn't know what prompted Mr. William to remarry. While his son did not care about his feelings. Bella feels sorry for Stev now. However, that man would be very angry if someone else pitied him for this. Bella knows what it's like to have stepparents. Because she had been in the same position as Stev. She knew exactly how to deal with all this. The difference is, she didn't hate hers stepfather before. Before hers mother left her and changed hers stepfather's per
"I—i..." "Forget it," Stev said, waving a hand over Bella's face. "You're not going to punish Nana for this, right?" Bella asked with a face full of hope. "Is she someone important to you?" Bella nodded slowly. "She's my friend now," Bella said. And Stev only snorted when he heard that. "I can't possibly punish her. Hers family is very loyal to me," said Stev. Bella pulled the corners of her lips up. "I believe if you will be kind," Bella said happily. "But. If I hear about this again. I can't be sure if I'll torment her with you," Stev continued in a voice that turned sinister. The man almost chuckled when he saw how Bella's face was. The woman froze with disbelief in her eyes. "Tsk. You coward." The handsome m
"How was your trip, Stev?" asked Ellen. The woman's hand is busy rubbing peanut butter on the bread in her hand. And gave it to Stev for the man's breakfast. "The usual," said Stev indifferently. The man didn't care what happened to him yesterday. Because everything is boring. "You're not rubbing peanut butter on my bread, Ellen?" Lucy asked the woman who was now sitting in the chair next to him. "Just take it yourself. Don't you have hands?" Ellen replied in disgust. The woman paid no heed to Lucy who was staring at her in disgust. "Are you recovered?" Stev asked the only woman who was there. "I'm fine, Stev. It's been three days," Ellen said casually. The woman then shuffled the cereal into her mouth. Enjoying breakfast quietly. "Isn't Bella awake yet?" asked Lucy when the man realized that one of the residents of this mansion was nowhere to be
Ordering some food and drink if it is suitable to be juxtaposed with her while she is working. Hers stomach could no longer wait either, because since last night she hadn't put anything in hers mouth to fill hers stomach. And this morning, she also didn't have time to eat breakfast because she thought she would be late for Jenjay. Half an hour later. the food Bella ordered had arrived, and the woman thoughtlessly ate it. Leave hers job for a moment. "You seem so hungry," said someone who was already next to her. "Chairwoman?" said Bella in shock. Shit. Even though she had avoided going to this quieter place so she could enjoy hers meal without anyone knowing. I feel embarrassed if she eats in the middle of busy work. Jennie smiled briefly, "Hi." Bella was clumsy to herself. The woman then stopped eating and looked at Jennie
"Then I'll go home first, Sis. Grandma can worry about me later, bye." Shyla went after the little girl felt that it was too late for her. She waved at Bella who was there. A little hesitant as she also waved hers hand at the man next to Bella. Shyla did not know who this man was. He came to her and immediately gave orders for her to give a handlebar of flowers in hers small basket to Bella. Of course in return that the man gave to Shyla, and it was not a little. "Be careful!" Bella said as she looked at the little girl who slowly started to move away. Bella sighed with relief when Shyla crossed along with several people there when the traffic light turned red. She turned her head, turned her face to the handsome man in a black T-shirt and unbuttoned jacket. "Joseph? Joseph who?" Bella asked, frowning thinly. She did not kno
"Where is it?" Bella ran her eyes the other way. Anywhere as long as not staring into Joseph's pair of black eyes which she thought were beautiful. "That's ... In a big place," Bella said nervously. Makes Joseph look at the woman with a strange frown on his forehead. "Is it that difficult just to name a place?" Joseph sneered. And Bella just laughed strangely afterwards. "Never mind. It doesn't matter," Bella replied. "You look neat. Do you work for any of the companies here?" asked Bella. The woman tried hard to distract Joseph so that the man would no longer ask questions that made hers head think twice. "Yes. I work at the GO company," replied Joseoh. "GO company?" Bella repeated. The woman did not think that Joseph worked in the largest company in this city. "That's so cool," said Bella later. "Wha
