Before Bella had time to finish what she said, Stev pulled her hand first so Bella sat beside the man.
"Stay here," said Stev, unwilling to take a rebuttal. And Bella knew what he was thinking. Stev certainly hated being in a situation like this. The man looked really bored. His face did not seem in the mood to speak.
Meanwhile, William who saw that just shook his head slowly.
"Do you have an event tomorrow?" William asked Stev.
But this arrogant man sitting next to Bella only raised one eyebrow up.
"Why do you ask me like that?" Stev asked back, the man staring flatly at William.
"We're having Christmas tomorrow Stev! You've got to come!" Excel's face was very cheerful as she spoke.
William nodded slowly. Yes, Excel says.
"That's right, Stev. You have to come tomorrow."
The stic
"Are you really coming tomorrow?" Bella asked the man who walked in front of her. Mr William and Excel had just left and now Bella is alone with Stev. Stev stopped his steps and turned to look at the not very tall woman before him. "Have you ever found me lying?" he asked. Bella replied by shrugging her shoulders. "I hope you don't hurt your father, Stev." The woman walked past the man. "Do you care for me?" "What?" asked Bella, not understanding. Stev gave a low chuckle. The man then followed where Bella walked. Back to face the woman. "I never thought you would care about me," he said with a thin grin that slowly appeared on his handsome face. One of Stevens' hands reached out to touch Bella's long, loose hair. "Don't get me wrong,"
"Why are you here?" Bella asked the man in front of her. "Just like you," he replied. Bella smiled slightly when she heard the answer from her old friend. "Want to put gifts together?" asked Bella when her eyes couldn't see what was in the man's hand. "Okay," he replied. After they finished putting the presents under the pine tree, Bella invited the man who was with her to enjoy the event. The two of them stood in front of a small, round table, where people placed their finished drinking glasses. "You must be surprised to see me here," said the man who turned out to be Joseph. "Of course. How do you know the chairwoman?" asked Bella. Meanwhile Joseph replied to the woman's question with a mild complacency. "I know her. I am one of her loyal customer show. C
While Bella who was next to the man glared at Joseph. "Shut up," she said softly. Bella looked forward again. She lowered herself more and more when she saw Stev looking around him. "He's gone," Joseph said after the man managed to get Bella's hand out of his mouth. Bella sighed softly when she saw Stevens' presence was out of sight. "What are you doing?" said someone who suddenly appeared between the two of them. "Akh!" screamed Bella in shock. Meanwhile Joseph only snorted softly. "Freya! You scared me!" said Bella irritably. She rose from hers position and patted hers clothes several times. Luckily it wasn't too dirty so Bella didn't feel embarrassed. "What are you doing with him?" asked Jennie's trusted assistant. She shifted hers gaze from the man next to Bella. &nbs
"You look beautiful tonight." "Is the dress you are wearing your own design?" said another. And Jennie just replied to their question with a smile. Felt happy when hers friends were near her after a long time. "Yes, this is my own dress," Jennie said proudly. And the amazed expression could no longer be hidden from the friends who were now surrounding her. "You're a great designer!" praised hers friend who was hers college classmate. While others added. "Not just greathe is also very famous. Even foreign artists invited her to make their clothes. " Jennie shook her head softly. "Is now the right time to talk about work? You have to enjoy the program tonight. I hope you are happy," said Jennie. She glanced at hers friends. "Hahaha. Of course we enjoyed the e
"What do you say never lie," said the woman. The man pulled one corner of his lips up. "I never lied," he lied. Bella snorted softly. "Never mind, I'm tired," Bella said as she let go of the man's hand on her and turned to leave. Stev looked at the woman from behind with a light shake of him head. "Let's go together." Suddenly Stev was standing beside Bella. The man grabbed the woman's hand and invited Bella to come out. "Where are you going?" asked the woman. But Stev just replied as usual. "You will find out later," said the man. Let Bella chuckle slowly behind him. . . . "Nothing's changed from the last time I was here," Jack commented. The man turned his gaze to
Bella wrinkled her brows when she heard what Stev had just said. Lucy's former friend? She didn't hear wrong, right? She was not so surprised that Lucy and Joseph knew each other. The two of them had met when Lucy caught herself having dinner with the man at one of the simple restaurants. And at that moment Bella knew that the two of them were not friends. More precisely mutually hostile. Lucy had once told herself that Joseph was an underling of Stev's great enemy. Which indirectly he also became Joseph's enemy. But, at the moment. She really didn't know what had happened between the two of them. So, Lucy and Joseph ... they both used to be ...friend? So what made the two of them hostile to each other now? Is it because of who they are today? "You were Lucy's friend, Joseph?" asked Bella. The woman seemed to know that Josep
Bella didn't hear the man asking her. More precisely Stev was accusing her at the moment. "Saying what?" Bella asked, not understanding. Even who Stev was referring to was still guessing. Perhaps she could guess that Stev was discussing Joseph because he had just pissed Stevens off. The proud face of the man who was in the same room as her looked very reluctant to mention Joseph's name. "Liana," he replied simply. Bella's brows frowned. "You thought I told Joseph about your little lover?" Stev looked at her sarcastically. "Nobody knows about Liana except you," said Stev. His voice sounded very sure that what he was saying was true. Meanwhile Bella snorted softly. She thought Stev was a smart man who trusted explanation and evidence more than what he saw. While being able to hear, that man would never w
"He is indeed a rude man. But, despite his traits he is a good man." "I know," Bella said. The woman sighed softly in the car which was being driven by Lucy. "Did you offend him?" Bella shook her head weakly while squeezing her skirt lightly. "No. He just misunderstood me," she replied. And Lucy just nodded him head looking understanding. The man was self-aware enough and asked no further. He feels that what happened between Bella and Stev can be resolved by the two of them. He has no right to interfere. "Hey, Lucy. Are you coming to Stevens father's mansion too?" The man next to Bella was mumbling something Bella couldn't hear. "What?" asked Bella. "No. He told me to come but I won't," he replied. Judging by his face, the man seemed very disinterested in joining. The man might be going to racing again
