And in fact, because they didn’t see the diamond snow they were separated. These two years, whenever the snowflakes were falling, she couldn’t help but wonder if she and Kevin had seen the diamond snow, then the later results would have been different …
Finally, she still had a cold. Drenched in rain during the day and cold wind at night, she had a high fever in the early morning. Quintin’s scheduled meeting with his partner had to be postponed to the next day.
When she came back from the hospital, it was already noon. Bella had an intravenous drip intravenous during the whole morning, and she was going to collapse. Quintin chided her for not being able to take care of herself while asking with concern, “What do you want to eat? I’ll let the restaurant staff do it and send it to your room.”
She shook her head, “I don’t want anything but to sleep.”
“You haven’t eaten since morning, and if you don’t eat some more at noon, do you want to die here?”
“But I don’t really have the appetite.”
Quintin frowned, “Wait for me.”
He turned around and strode towards the restaurant, and a moment later, he came over with a beautifully crafted cake, “This is what I asked them to specially prepare for you, the patient when I was in the hospital. The rice can be skipped, and you just eat this.”
Bella received the cake, not yet eaten it, but smelled a faint fragrance of roses, and smiled, “This really is prepared for the patient, who has no appetite wants to nibble a bite.”
They went upstairs side by side by elevator. Arriving at the room, Bella also finished the cake. She lay down on the bed, and Quintin covered the blanket for her, and proudly asked, “Is it feeling less weak now?”
“Yes.”
Bella nodded, “What did you give me to eat?”
“Aphrodisiac cake.”
“Ah!!” She sat up in a cold sweat of amazement.
“Oh, I’m just kidding. Dummy, don’t look at it as a small piece of cake, but there are more than thirty kinds of nutrients in it.”
Quintin saw that she looked frightened, and explained while helplessly smiling.
“You scared me.”
Bella patted her chest and stared at him, “It’s so annoying. Go out. I’m going to sleep.”
“Okay, I’ll be in the next room. Call me if you need anything.”
When she heard the sound of the door closing, Bella sighed helplessly. Quintin was indeed a rare good man, but unfortunately she …
After four hours of sleep, she woke up, and it was already twilight. After having an intravenous drip intravenous and resting for the afternoon, she felt much better, got out of bed, poured a glass of boiled water and was halfway through drinking it when there was a knock on the door and Quintin came in.
“How is it? Are you feeling better?”
“Well, I feel much better.”
“So it should be okay to go out to dinner, right?”
“Where are we going?”
“The president of the LoveBella Group heard we’ve arrived in B City. He’s booked a room at the Venus Hotel to do his best to welcome us.”
“You go, but I don’t really want to go.”
“I won’t go if you don’t. How can I leave a patient behind and run out to eat, drink, and be merry myself?”
Bella heard him say that and had to compromise and agree, “Alright then, we’ll go together.”
She was a very dutiful special assistant and knew how important the cooperation between the company and the company was. If she didn’t want to go making Quintin not to go as well, the CEO of the LoveBella Group would be very unhappy, which would be detrimental to Quintin’s career.
“I’ll change my clothes. You wait for me downstairs.”
“Okay.”
Bella changed into an elegant and decent outfit and applied delicate light makeup before she slowly walked out of the room, went downstairs to join Quintin, and went to the Venus Hotel together.
Arriving at the hotel’s compartment, there were already quite a few people seated inside. Bella followed behind Quintin, only to see Quintin shake hands with a man of similar height to him, saying enthusiastically, “Mr. Jones-Sharp, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Her heart thudding, after hearing the name Mr. Jones-Sharp, Bella took a step forward and finally saw the man whose face was blocked by Quintin.
In that instant, they met each other and both of them were shocked, but no one spoke up.
“Mr. Jones-Sharp, I will introduce you. This is my special assistant, Haley Finger.”
“Haley, this is the president of LoveBella Group, Kevin.”
Bella stared at Kevin, her heart aching at this moment, and she was unable to breathe. She stretched out her hand woodenly, “Hello, Mr. Jones-Sharp.”
She pretended not to know him but didn’t expect Kevin to pretend not to know her as well, “Hello.”
After shaking hands with each other, Quintin suddenly took Bella’s shoulders and jokingly said, “She will most likely become my wife.”
Kevin looked dejected, but it was only for a second, “Congratulations.” There was hardly any expression on his face as he said this.
“I’m going to the bathroom.”
Bella could no longer control the aching of her heart, but ran to the bathroom in one breath and cried out. She did not expect to meet with Kevin so unexpectedly, let alone after such a meeting, they were like strangers.
After crying for a long time, she washed a handful of cold water face, took out the makeup case from the bag, mended her makeup, took a deep breath, and returned to the box.
Her heart still hurt, but fortunately, no one would notice that.
Kevin and Quintin chatted well. Bella sat next to Quintin, dazedly looking straight ahead, sadly discovering that Kevin’s gaze did not fall on her for a moment.
If either she changed her appearance or he lost his memory, they had loved each other so much, but how could they sit face to face like strangers?
The waiter brought up all the dishes, and Quintin took turns drinking with the others. One of the men got up and said, “Miss Finger has been silent. Do you feel that we have snubbed you? Come, I’ll drink a toast to Miss Finger.”
Bella hadn’t reacted yet, and Quintin had already stood up, “I’ll drink for her.”
After saying that, he tilted his neck and drank a cup of strong wine.
“Wow, Mr. Stock is too merciful. I didn’t even agree you can drink it for her. Why did you drink wine? No, no, you can’t drink it.”
Quintin grinned, “My special assistant only had a high fever last night, and she was having an intravenous drip intravenous on for the whole morning. Please everyone just spare her.”
“Oh, no wonder Miss Finger doesn’t look very good. Sorry, I won’t force you then.”
The man who held the glass in toast sat down when another man asked jokingly, “Are Mr. Stock and Miss Finger planning to get married?”
Quintin looked askance at Bella, who was beside him, and replied with a smile, “Maybe I still need to work harder. Since ancient times beauty is not so easy to marry.”
They in the box let out a roar of laughter. Bella looked up and skimmed Kevin, who was drinking but wasn’t laughing. Fortunately, he wasn’t laughing. Otherwise, she would have stood up and impulsively questioned. In your position, did you also find it as ridiculous as they did?
Dinner ended in such a seemingly relaxed atmosphere that was actually not with ease, and out of the hotel, Bella was depressed and got into the car, not saying goodbye to Kevin and the others.
“What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable again?”
After Quintin finished exchanging pleasantries with them, he came to the car and asked Bella with concern.
“Yes, a little.”
The car started its engine, and from the reflection mirror, Bella saw Kevin’s eyes resting on the car, but it was very brief, almost just a few seconds, he turned around, leaving Bella with a cold back.
“Do you know the president of the LoveBella Group?”
Quintin suddenly asked.
“No. How would I know him?”
Bella replied with a bit of a guilty conscience.
“Then you didn’t fall in love with him at first sight, did you?”
“What nonsense?”
“I’ve noticed you’ve been staring at him the way I’ve been staring at you, and do you confess that you’re fascinated by his cold exterior?”
She rolled her eyes, “How can a cold man charm me when I can’t even be charmed by such a nice-looking guy around me? I’m not that hardcore!”
Quintin was only relieved, “It’s good that you’re not charmed. I’ve been chasing after you for two years and you’re not even tempted. If you’re tempted by another man with taking a second look at him, then I’m so ashamed that I can go and hit the wall.”
Bella smiled bitterly, “Don’t worry, it won’t be like that.”
She feigned casualness and asked, “Are you familiar with Kevin?”
“Not very well, but he’s not a stranger to me either. We met at a big business cocktail party the year before last and we got to talking quite a bit.”
“What’s he like as a person? Is it reliable if you work with him?”
“It’s said that he’s a famous playboy, hovers around different women, and is cold and ruthless, but he’s serious and responsible about his career, not like his relationship that’s so unbearable.”
Bella’s heart ached, “He looks like he should be in his mid-thirties. Has he never been married?”
“And you say you’re not interested in him, so why are you asking so closely?”
“No, I’m just curious if he has a wife, she’d be in charge of him. I guess.”
“When we met at a cocktail party the year before last, I asked him about his marital status and heard he was married.”
Her heart ached once again. No matter how long those old wounds took to heal, they were still vulnerable in the face of some unbearable outcome.
Although she had long expected Freya and Kevin to get married, it was only a guess, and now that she had heard it herself, she realized that she was still very concerned about such an outcome.
Seeing her silence, Quintin immediately shifted the topic to himself, “How many men like me who keep my nose clean these days are willing to be controlled by their wives? You’ll have to seize the opportunity. Don’t let me be snatched up by another woman.”
Bella sadly smiled, still not responding to his indirect courtship.
Inside the neon-lit bar, Kevin was drinking foreign wine alone bitterly. Another skill that he was now proud of was that he would never get drunk no matter how much he drank.
He had already drunk quite a lot from a dinner party he had just finished, and this time he had another bottle of wine, but he didn’t feel that he had drunk a little too much. Drinking wine was as normal as drinking water to him.
