“What are you talking about?” She also got a little angry, “I am concerned about your company’s development. Why don’t you appreciate it but slander me? If you really paint me into a corner, I don’t care about anything!”
“Who asked you to care?”
Kevin looked at her as if she was a busybody and walked out of the office with a meeting of the documents.
After two days, they were officially not on speaking terms. Kevin ignored Bella while Bella felt especially aggrieved. Obviously she was contributing to his career, but why did he ignore her? The more she thought about it, the more depressed she was, so she decided not to bother about the new product.
She didn’t care if it could enter the market or not and if the cooperation would be terminated. She didn’t do the dirty work. Bastard!
To Bella’s surprise, on the third day she returned to B City, Quintin also came. When she received his phone call, Bella had to suffer in silence and was extremely embarrassed.
The day after tomorrow, the new product would be launched, but at this juncture, Quintin came. Did he intend to make it difficult for her?
If she didn’t welcome him, Quintin would definitely ask for a reason, and if she did, Kevin would be jealous again at home.
She had vowed not to care about the new product, but at this critical moment, looking at a bunch of hard-working colleagues, she really couldn’t cruelly ignore it.
When Quintin said he would directly pick her up from work, she didn’t say anything, but it was surprising that the guy appeared in a high-profile, with a car full of nine hundred and ninety-nine red roses …
They were nine hundred and ninety-nine red roses. Kevin had never been so romantic.
Afraid of being seen by Kevin, Bella jumped into the car secretly and urged Quintin to leave.
Although they left at once, Kevin still knew about it. The whole company was talking about the affair between Quintin and Bella. He could hear it even when he covered his ears. It could be imagined that Kevin wasn’t just annoyed but was about to explode this time.
When Quintin took Bella to eat dinner, Bella proposed to go back to rest saying that she felt ill. But he refused and took out two movie tickets from the pocket, “I let the assistant ordered from the Internet. It’s the new film and is said to be very good.”
Quintin insisted, and she had no choice but to go with him to the movie theater.
It was late at night when Kevin saw Bella has not come back, couldn’t help but be very annoyed, wanted to call her but felt embarrassed. So an idea hit him and he came to his sister’s room.
“Lena, call your sister-in-law and ask her where she is and why is she still not back so late.”
After the past two days of observation, Lena determined that her brother and sister-in-law were not on speaking terms, so she picked up the phone right away and dialed Bella’s number.
“Hello? Sister-in-law, where are you?”
Bella lowered her voice and replied, “I’m watching a movie.”
“Brother, my sister-in-law says she’s watching a movie.”
“You ask her who she’s watching it with!”
Kevin frowned and wanted to rush to the movie theater and smash the movie screen.
“Sister-in-law, who are you watching it with?”
“A friend.”
“Brother, sister-in-law says she’s with a friend.”
Every time Lena asked a question, she had to cover the phone handset and report to his brother.
“Ask her what movie she’s watching.”
Kevin looked as if he was about to blow up.
“Sister-in-law, what movie did you watch?”
…
“Brother, my sister-in-law says she is watching Under the Hawthorn Tree.”
“A scum’s love is more like it!”
Kevin was so angry that he turned around and went out of the room, slamming the door.
Lena froze and hung up the phone, mumbling, “You’re angry, but why do you slam my door …”.
When the movie ended, it was already 10:30. Bella and Quintin went out of the cinema, and she was relieved, “Quintin, I’m going back. You also go back to the hotel early to rest.”
“I’ll drive you.”
“You don’t have to. I can take a taxi very easily.”
Bella said and walked to the middle of the road, because she was in a hurry, she collided with a man on an electric bike, screamed, and was knocked to the ground.
“Haley-”
Quintin gave a cry of alarm, ran over, grabbed her, and asked, “Did you get hurt? Let me see!”
Her face screwed up when she shook her head, “Nothing.”
The man on the motorcycle was also terrified and squatted in front of her, asking, “Miss, I’m sorry. Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“No, I’m really fine.”
Quintin looked up and down carefully and saw that her arm grazed a little, and said sadly, “You’re still saying it’s fine, but it’s broken here.”
“I just grazed a little. I can go back and apply medicine to it.”
Quintin wasn’t at ease let her go back alone and put her into his car at once.
Kevin waited until eleven o’clock, but before Bella arrived, he was so worried. When he thought that Quintin took so many roses to the company in the afternoon, he thought that he must be up to no good.
He once again came to his sister’s room, “Lena, give your sister-in-law a call and let her go home right away.”
Lena didn’t cooperate this time, and said in a bad mood, “I won’t call her. If you want to call, you call her yourself, so as not to slam my door after calling.”
“My phone is out of power.” He made excuses.
“But you can use my phone to call her on your own.”
Lena was so determined not to call for him anymore that he had no choice but to take his sister’s phone and leave the room.
He was more nice than wise. He used Lena’s phone to edit a text message to Bella, and a moment later, she replied, “I’m not going back tonight.”
God knew when Kevin saw that text message, how jealous he was. He was so anxious to pick up the car keys and ran out of the house, drove to the client’s apartment.
His car was hidden in the dark. He saw that the client’s apartment was dark, and it cooled his ardor when he thought that Bella went to the hotel with Quintin.
Just at this time, Quintin’s car stopped in front of the apartment, so he was slightly relieved, but then saw Quintin holding Bella into the door of the apartment.
He was worried again, sat in the car, and waited for Quintin to come out.
After sending Bella back to the house, Quintin asked her, “Where is the medicine box?”
Bella told him where it was, so he found a medicine cabinet and cleaned up the scrapes on her arm for her.
After it was cleaned up, Bella immediately said, “Thank you, please go back to the hotel, I’m fine.”
“Are you in such a hurry to drive me away?”
Quintin raised his eyebrows, got up, and walked to the refrigerator, “I’m hungry. You cook something for me to eat and then I’ll go.”
Bella knew that sometimes he was stubborn just like a child. He would not leave until he reached his goal. In order to send him away as soon as possible, she had to obey his orders.
Kevin waited for half an hour but didn’t see Quintin out, starting the engine and leaving angrily.
Eating two big bowls of noodles, Quintin finally satisfied and left the apartment that Bella was living in. Bella sent him off to the door. Watching his car disappeared, she let out a long breath, feeling finally relieved.
He left this time and wouldn’t come back until the product was officially launched. Then, she could also be unreservedly frank with him.
Even though she felt very sorry, she believed in her eyes for quality.
She went to work the next day and didn’t see Kevin all day. She called her sister-in-law and learned that Kevin was so jealous that he was ill in bed at home.
She rushed home in the evening and quietly went to Kevin’s room, pushed open the door, and saw that he was not bedridden but sitting on the sofa watching TV. Then she went in at ease and asked, “Why didn’t you go to work today?”
Kevin gave her a blank look, “Get away from me.”
She was startled, “Are you still mad at me?” She deliberately sat closer to him.
“I told you to stay away from m. Didn’t you hear me?”
“Why are you yelling?”
Bella began to lose temper either.
“You’ve been fooling around with men all night, and you come back and ask me if I’m angry. Do you think if I’m angry or not?”
“Who’s fooling around with men? Did you see me fooling around with men?”
“I saw it with my eyes! Quintin went into the apartment, and I waited for half an hour and he didn’t come out!”
Bella giggled, “It’s just this. You completely misunderstood. I was hit by an electric car at that time, so my arm grazed. He insisted to go to apply medicine to me, and then he said he was hungry. So I cooked two bowls of noodles. He ate the noodles and then left.”
“Do you expect me to believe your bullshit?”
He was angry last time and didn’t vent out his anger, and this time, she was adding fuel to the fire, intentionally forcing him to blow up.
“What I said is the truth. You can ask Quintin if you don’t believe me!”
“Anyway, you collude with him and the result is the same whether I ask or not. Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you. Since you’re so close to him, you go with him. I’m out of sight, out of mind.”
“Are you serious?”
Bella’s face was livid when she asked.
“It’s true. You go away.”
Bella grabbed the pillow on the sofa and smashed it on Kevin, “I will go away. I worry about business for you during the day and private matters for you at night, but you’re still haughty to me. I won’t care about you anymore!
This was the first time that Bella spoke with outbursts filled with expletives. She was really angry with Kevin and turned to run out. When Kevin saw she really wanted to go, he panicked, strode forward, pulled her into the arms, pressed her to the wall, and then, kissed her overwhelmingly.
At this moment, she was dizzy and felt that he had sex drive again …
