Arabella’s POV"Just home?" Dallas greeted us at the front door. Looking sour with her arms folded. "I've called you several dozen times, but none of you have picked up. Are you guys on purpose?"I sighed. Having just returned from a walk, I was treated to his endless nagging. I showed the paper bag I had been carrying and gave it to Dallas. "A souvenir for you. Move aside, I'm going in."What?" He sounded confused, but I managed to push him into giving way and stepped inside. I wanted to get to my room before Dallas continued his tirade. "Here...."I could hear Dallas opening the gift I'd quickly prepared and then turning my head silently to see his reaction. I had thought he wouldn't look at me, but now he seemed so happy to see me. "What?" I blurted out even as I saw his face light up.Dallas immediately came forward to hug me without me being able to stop him. "I love you so much, Bella." He patted my back before releasing our embrace while I hurriedly picked up my interrupted oxy

Arabella’s PovSean immediately grabbed me tighter and kissed me deeply, exploring my mouth as his hands began to unbutton the shirt I was wearing, one by one. I tried to do the same, but he became impatient and undid them all first."You always drive me crazy, Bella," Sean said softly before kissing me back, slowly pushing me onto his bed that felt warm and full of him.I took a breath when he pulled away, turning his gaze to my cleavage and touching it. I closed my eyes, trying to hold back a sigh as the combination of his warm mouth and tongue was on my breasts, teasing, while his hands were on my back to hold us closer together.I touched Sean's shoulder shakily as his touch descended slowly, touching my stomach and then the inside of my thigh, which almost made me wince. "S-sean...."The man kissed my private parts, which already felt moist from all the touching done earlier. I sighed uncontrollably, holding the lining of Sean's bed covers tightly to give him a grip when his tong

Arabella's POV"Hi, Bella?" A man stared and asked me questions, looking friendly as he approached me. I was a little slow to recognize him as the employee accompanying me when introducing myself to our team, the bracelet on his hand immediately reminded me.I smiled back and extended my hand. "Yes. "Nice to meet you in person, Alex.""Me too." Alex smiled wider, releasing my hand once we had shaken hands for a moment. She grimaced. "You're so much prettier than your picture that I was a little hesitant to greet you earlier."I snorted a laugh, appreciating his sincere-sounding pep talk. "Thank you.""Come on, follow me. "The others are waiting inside." Alex led me toward the glass door that slid automatically when the man stuck his identification card in a device attached to the door slats.I walked behind the man, breathing again as Sean had taught me when I faced a large room with several rows of cabinet-sized desks and employees at work. They all looked busy but fixed their gazes

Arabella's POVI sighed softly as I got into the car, feeling a little heavy about going to the office and working with a coworker who openly disliked me. From inside his car, Sean watched me for a long time before finally sitting down and fastening the seatbelt."What's wrong, Bella? You still look sluggish after having breakfast with Emi's food." Sean sounded worried, knowing that his housekeeper's cooking usually cheered me up immediately under any circumstances, but not this time.I still remembered how Rachel had chuckled and whispered with the colleague next to her yesterday afternoon, just as I sat down and was about to get back to work. I tried to smile at them while saying hello, but they just fell silent and returned to their fun with occasional glances at me.I felt very uncomfortable then, but I couldn't do anything when they weren't openly insulting or hurting me. I could only remain silent and keep working, trying to understand the overall flow of my job from Liam and Ch

Arabella's POVI received another tough assignment from Rachel but didn't complain. I'm starting to understand the flow of my work better after doing the same thing repeatedly, albeit with different documents and multiple trouble spots."Look at her, pretending to be serious despite not understanding anything." I heard one of Rachel's friends whispering too loudly for me to hear, but I didn't care.I just focused on working on the documents given to me and then sent them to my other coworkers to process. I also received revisions, but increasingly, I didn't make mistakes when I was done and checked it myself better."Mrs., here's the document you requested a printed version of." I approached Rachel after finishing, handing over the documents as she directed.The woman stopped her work, accepting the document I was working on to read straight through. Rachel looked serious while I was about to leave to return to my desk and continue working, but she stopped me. "Hey, where are you goin
