Humiliated by The Evil Man

Bella was still in her room when she heard the sound of footsteps coming towards her.

 

Srett!!!

 

One hand reflexively covered her slightly opened eyelids. Even so, Bella could still feel the sunlight piercing through her eyelids.

 

"Nghh~" The woman groaned, she was still very sleepy, she still wanted to fall asleep, but someone's cold voice woke her up.

 

"Get up." That is an absolute order.

 

Her eyes immediately opened behind her covered hands. All the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. Even her heartbeat was beating very fast.

 

'Calm down, Bella. Calm down.' Bella calmed herself. She couldn't afford to panic in front of the owner of that cold voice.

 

Jullius looked at Bella who was still comfortably lying on the bed. The woman still hasn't carried out the order. Jullius looked at Damian who understood what his gaze meant. Damian, who had been in charge of opening the curtains, stepped closer to Bella.

 

He was just about to take action to wake Bella before she suddenly sat up straight. Damian was quite surprised by the fast action, while Jullius looked normal. His expression was still the same as before.

 

Bella's eyes met her uncle's. Bella still kept her lips tightly closed. Didn't want to say anything at all.

 

"Do you think you are a princess?" he asked, finally. After letting silence envelop them.

 

"Get up. Wash your face, and do your duty!” Jullius ordered.

 

“You are not a princess. From now on, you have to wake up at 4 am. Help the chef cook, help the maids clean this house!" said Jullius.

 

Bella saw him leave after saying that. The woman sighed with her eyes closed.

 

"Master wants you to work in his company," Damian said.

 

“What? Are you kidding me? Work at that person's company? Someone who has ruined my life like this?" Bella asked in a sarcastic tone.

 

Damian just smiled. “Yes, miss. Get used to it," he replied.

 

Damian looked at the messy mattress. “You don't get room service. Clean up your room. Take a shower immediately. My person will tell you the rest of what you should do," Damian said.

 

Bella looked like she wanted to protest, but she couldn't.

 

"Do your work," Damian said, then left Arabella alone. Arabella bit her lower lip, then took a deep breath.

“It's only the first day, but I already feel like it's definitely worse than living in hell,” she muttered. Her brow furrowed in disapproval.

 

“What a bad morning to start the day with.”

 

***

Arabella's face looked up at the giant building in front of her. She doesn't like being here. Seeing the Maverick Group building made something inside her boil.

 

“This should have been mine,” she muttered. A flash of thought came to her mind.

“Can I take it back? Seize what Jullius seized from my father.” Her hands clenched into fists as she said that. Both of her gazes seemed very determined. It's like there is confidence within Bella.

 

Bella entered the office. She met someone Jullius had ordered. Bella thought that she would be made staff at this company. She is indeed quite skilled with the job description of a staff member because she has studied it quite a bit. However, it turns out that her estimate was very wrong.

 

"This is your uniform," said the man in the navy blue shirt. Bella didn't know his name and wasn't curious at all. This man doesn't seem to like her because she always has a stern face. Or maybe it was an order from his superior who was none other than Jullius. To make Bella even more uncomfortable working here.

 

Bella looked at the pair of uniforms which were still neatly wrapped in plastic. She opened the plastic package rather quickly. The look on her face couldn't lie that Arabella was very surprised. She looked at the man in front of her with a look of confusion and disbelief.

 

“This… this is the office girl uniform?” she asked. It's a rhetorical question.

 

"Yes. Mr.President just gave you that position. You will meet your seniors and start working today. Do your job well. If not, Mr. President himself will come to reprimand or even punish you," said the man, his voice and facial expression completely matching. 

"And believe me, you don't want that to happen," he continued in a very obvious tone of intimidation. Then the man left him.

 

Bella squeezed the office girl's uniform. “Jullius Maverick. That man!"

 

***

Bella was actually very reluctant to do this, but she really had no other choice. She was still very weak if she had to fight Jullius. Bella closed her eyes and then exhaled deeply. She had to mentally prepare herself to meet the devil, Jullius.

 

She was assigned to make coffee for the cruel man. Bella felt a little difficult when she was about to press the door knob to open it. An unexpected thing happened when the door knob suddenly moved by itself. Someone inside will come out. Bella wanted to move away, but it happened very quickly. When the door opens someone comes out without seeing that she is outside.

 

The tray containing the hot black coffee ordered by Jullius spilled and hit him.

 

 

“Shit!” Jullius cursed when the hot coffee, which was still steaming, hit his suit and shirt that he was wearing. Bella looked at the shirt that was covered in spilled coffee with a face of horror, then her gaze turned to Jullius' face who was glaring at her.

 

"You!"

 

“Sorr—”

 

Before Bella had time to speak, her wrist was grabbed tightly and Jullius pulled her arm until the tray she was holding fell to the floor.

 

Prangg!

 

 

Several pairs of eyes looked at them. They all started whispering, looking at Bella with cynical eyes. Jullius looked very angry. Bella didn't know what Jullius would do now.

 

“Let go!” Bella started to fight back. She tried to stop Jullius, but she almost fell because of the resistance. Jullius is so strong! It felt absolutely impossible to fight this man.

 

Finally, Bella had no other choice but to follow the wishes of this demonic man. And Bella realized that more and more pairs of eyes were staring at them.

 

Jullius stopped in front of many employees and then pushed Bella. Bella stared at Jullius for a moment before finally looking at the employees. Their gazes became increasingly evil. Seems to hate her. She doesn't know why. Even though Bella didn't do anything wrong to them. Is it because hse caused trouble for their boss?

 

"What are you doing?" Bella asked. The sound was very tiny, almost inaudible. But Jullius could hear it clearly. There was no mercy in Jullius's gaze.

 

“Did you see this woman? On her first day on the job, she already showed how incompetent she is!” Jullius started to say.

 

The whispers grew louder. They even started pointing at Bella. Giving her a sanctioned look.

 

“What the hell is she doing?! She just getting work here and has already made Mr. The President's that angry! Truly shameless!”

 

“She must be so stupid! How could she spill coffee on Mr. President?! She deserves to be humiliated like this!”

 

“No wonder her father was in prison! His daughter is this stupid! That man's stupidity must have passed on to his daughter!"

 

"She is just an office girl, it's just simple work, yet she did it terribly! Very incompetent!" 

 

And there were many other whispers that Bella heard that made her heart really hurt. Her eyes started to turn red and teary. Bella tried her best not to blink her eyes because once she blinked, the tears would fall. Bella didn't want to look weak in front of many people.

 

“This is a warning to everyone. All of you! Do your duty in the best way!!" said Jullius in an intimidating tone. His eyes narrowed sharply at the employees in front of him. They all immediately looked down. No one dared to look at Jullius in such a state. An aura of dominance and intimidation radiated strongly from that dashing figure.

 

Some even felt their limbs go weak. It wasn't just Jullius' firmness that made them feel that way, but also his good looks that no one could deny!

 

"And you!" Jullius pointed at Arabella.

 

Bella still had her head down. Until this moment she was reluctant to look at Jullius.

 

“Look me in the eye when I talk to you!” Jullius ordered.

 

Bella immediately looked up. She obeyed the order. Her eyes blinked without being able to stop them and the tears fell. However, the strong look on her face that Bella showed did not give the woman a weak impression.

 

Bella wiped her tears quickly.

 

“I'm sorry, sir. I will work more carefully next time," said Bella. Although this is not entirely her fault. But if she fought back, Jullius would definitely embarrass her even more. And that was the reaction Jullius wanted from her. Therefore, Bella didn't want to give that reaction. As Damian said, she had to obey Jullius. Then she will be safe. And she played that tactic.

 

Jullius shut his mouth. The angry look disappeared. Now that flat gaze is back.

 

"I don't like my employees being careless and stupid," said Jullius.

 

He stepped a few centimeters closer to Bella. Bella still kept her face upturned. Not afraid to continue looking into those intimidating eyes. Even though her heart was beating very fast.

 

“Working properly. This is one of the many things you must do to pay off all your debts! I warned you that!" Jullius whispered.

 

"Back to work!" Jullius said firmly to all his employees then he walked away from that place. Returning to his office and asking his personal assistant to bring him a new shirt and jacket, he had to leave for a meeting with an important client. But the young woman's carelessness cost him a lot of time.

 

"Stupid woman."

 

***

Bella wiped her tears quickly. But her tears still continued to flow freely. She is now alone in the toilet cubicle. Bella can express her sadness freely here.

 

“He's really an evil one!”

 

Even though Jullius could scold her personally. Not in public, in front of many employees. Now Bella's name is getting worse.

 

Bella took a deep breath before deciding to leave the toilet cubicle. She looked at her reflection in the long, large mirror. Her under eyes seemed swollen from crying for a long time.

 

Not long after, another employee came in.

 

"Isn't she the employee who was scolded by Mr. President?” whispered the blonde-haired woman to her friend.

 

“Hm. You're right," replied her friend.

 

“Really, instead of working, she is on the toilet! What a time-wasting!” This time the woman spoke loudly enough that Bella realized that the woman was sarcastic.

 

Bella closed her eyes. She must not be carried away by emotions. She decided to ignore it and immediately left. Before leaving, Bella heard the woman mock her again. “Ignorant lowly worker! Fortunately, she can work at this big company!"

 

"You are right. If it weren't for Mr. President that is kind. She would definitely be homeless! Her father was imprisoned for corruption! Embarrassing! She is nothing!"

 

Bella could only reply silently. 'If not forced to work here! I wouldn't want to be here either! And he is not my real father! My biological father is actually the owner of this company! You're the only ones who don't know!' Bella is very mad right now!
