Chapter 71 – Short Behaviour

Charles glanced at her, “What do you think?”

Bella carefully smiled, “I think I can do other things too.”

Charles scoffed at her, “Can you translate documents? Can you handle customers?”

“I can’t at this point, but I can learn.”

Bella thought that it would be too bad for her if she could not take this great advantage of working here. If she could be involved in the duties of a real secretary, she could find another job with the experience.

But Charles would never provide her with such an opportunity.

He gave her a superficial smile and said, “Do you think someone in the office would dare to train you?”

Yes, that was true, no one dared to, and no one wanted to.

When she first came in, they had expressed clearly that they were too busy to train a new employee.

Bella walked out of Charles’s office and rubbed her sore arms. She considered doing some exercises for her arms so that her hands would not shake after massaging Charles. She acted so weakly just now, it might impress Charles.

What might Charles do next time she spilt water?

Would he forgive her? 

Most of the employees had gone out for lunch.

Bella looked at the clock, there was half an hour left. Could she get back in time?

However, Bella felt an air of great intention in the office when she stepped back to her desk. The girls had come back and stood in line orderly. The manager assigned the tasks.

Bella’s eyes were bright, even Charles did not assign her actual jobs, she could have the tasks from the manager.

She stood before her desk just as the others in the office did and listened to the manager.

“It is only half an hour left before the meeting.” The manager looked at her watch, “Three of you will stay here on the phones, and the rest go to the meeting room with me. Remember, this is the first annual meeting for all of the industrial departments of our group, for we just moved into this building, you can’t make a mistake. Everyone double check. Badges, documents…badges should be right for each attendee, every detail must not have any mistakes…Hurry up.”

Bella looked at the people running out of the office, and asked the manager politely, “What kind of job am I responsible for?”

The manager glanced at her and smiled gently, “Milady, please stay here with the ladies, you can work with them.”

To stay here meant she had no assignments.

That was because she was the Lord’s wife, no one dared to give her assignments.

So, she was isolated now. Charles did not want to see her, and she was confined to the office. She had nothing to do but take care of herself, and she would like to go out for lunch.

It seemed to be a good chance for her, as the meeting would be last for a while.

In case of making a mistake, she asked one of the secretaries left, “Do you know how long the annual meeting usually takes? Will the Lord be there as well?”

“The annual meeting usually is run by the Lord; he, of course, takes part.” The delicate made-up face of the secretary was suppressed with a bit of disdain, but she told Bella patiently, “This kind of meeting usually takes up an entire afternoon.”

Being the wife of the Lord and a secretary, she did not know about this annual meeting.

Bella could obviously feel the dissatisfaction from the girl, but thanked her politely, “Thank you.”

She did not care for her attitude at all, the most important thing was that Charles would be in the meeting for a whole afternoon.

Hah…She needed to go for lunch now, and then she could slip out of the office when Charles was in the meeting. It was a lot of time, half a day.

When Bella went past the president’s office, she saw that Ziv walked into the office with a bag of packed lunch boxes.

She ran away quickly.

She received a text message from Charles before she reached the elevator, “Come here.”

Why should she go there again?

Bella was so hungry and almost cried. She did not have any food this morning, she was really, really hungry now.

However, she returned to Charles’s office and knocked on the door.

“My Lord.” Bella stood there obediently when she caught the sight of the food on the table, she could not help to swallow the water in her mouth.

“Sit down and eat.” Charles glanced at the chair which was set on the opposite side of the table and began to eat.

Each time she ate with him in the Mansion, she felt depressed and awkward, let alone now.

“No, I am not hungry.” Bella refused.

But her stomach gurgled at the same time.

Charles put down his fork, and watched her scornfully, “Bella, your body is always more honest than your mouth, whatever in bed or out of bed.”

Hey…

Why was there such an animal in the world wearing the skin of a human being?

Bella’s face flushed instantly, she sat down in displeasure.

Why should I eat with him?

She was really starving; she packed her plate full of the dishes that Ziv had bought.

Bella ate up the food on her plate in a brief time. She smiled with her eyes curved and said, “Do you like the cuisine of your homeland, don’t you?”

The chefs in Williams Mansion cooked the most delicious foods in the world, could he like the foods bought from the other restaurants?

Charles raised one eyebrow, “Bella, are you a pig?”

Usually, the girls nowadays would have as little food as they could, but she did not stop after having such a volume of food.

Although the words were mean, Charles handed her a piece of steak.

“I am not a pig.” Bella was delighted with the meal, “I have not had breakfast this morning, and I was starved.”

Because he did not give her the time to have breakfast, she did not have any food for the whole day.

Charles looked at Bella’s face which in a satisfied expression, the dishes seemed to be more delicious.

After twenty minutes, the dishes on the table were half empty, as Bella took half of each plate and left the other half to Charles, but Charles hardly touched them.

“My Lord, the meeting is about to begin.” Ziv knocked on the door and stepped inside by the gesture of Charles.

Charles rose up and had his suit on. He glanced at Bella.

Bella got up at once and walked up to him and helped to tighten the loose knot of his tie.

Her fingers moved slowly on the white tie, her eyes focused on the knot, and her red lips naturally seemed to invite him to taste.

As he thought in this way and she did the same.

He leaned over her and caught her lips with his; she was shocked, but she opened her lips slightly, so his tongue could easily slide into her mouth.

Ziv turned away silently.

Someone was here!

Bella’s face blushed and pushed him away consciously.

“Bella, you were only submissive for a concise time.” Which were less than two days?

His voice was unfriendly.
