"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
"Are you going with him? You live with him?" asked Joseph incredulously. He had guessed this. Because anyone who already knew Lucy, it sure wasn't a good sign. And Bella was completely under the control of that man. Bella bit her lower lip lightly. She didn't answer and just walked over to Lucy who was standing not far from her. "Hope you come home safely, Joseph. Good evening," Bella said to the man. And in the next second she walked following Lucy who was in front of her. Before Lucy got into him car. He had glanced at Joseph who was still standing with his gaze still fixed on him. "I hope you don't interfere again," said Lucy simply. He gave Joseph a glare before he actually closed his car door and then drove off. . . . "Lucy," called Bella again, glancing at the man next to her. Because the man had
"You're daydreaming!" said a woman, patting Bella's table softly. Bella turned her head to Freya who had just come. The woman looks beautiful in a casual yet elegant suit. It doesn't seem like Freya is a worker at Jenjay. According to Bella, the woman is more worthy of being called a model. Her tall and beautiful body may be a matter of pride for Freya. But the woman's face was beautiful more than anything else. Even Bella thought, Freya was prettier than their leader, Jennie. "Hello, Bella?" called Freya once again while waving her hand in front of Bella's face. And suddenly what Freya was doing immediately brought Bella out of her mind. She felt embarrassed when she didn't answer the woman's calls and instead daydreamed like a strange person. "Yes?" "It seems you have a lot of thoughts," said Freya trying to guess. And Bella just shook her head softly.
