Chapter 86 – Drawing

She saw that Roy was leaving, Bella ran toward him and called, “Mr. Steward.”

Roy stopped upon hearing her and bowed respectfully, “Milady.”

Bella smiled, “You can just call me Bella.”

Roy looked at her distantly and politely, “Courtesy must not be abolished. What can I do for you, Milady?”

Bella did not insist. Anyway, they all knew that she would leave sooner or later.

Bella smiled awkwardly, “Mr. Steward, I have something in mind.”

Roy smiled gently, “You can call me Roy if you’d like. I am at your service.”

Bella acted somewhat unnatural, “May I know if you are in charge of the servants here in Williams Mansion?”

She would not call his name directly, it was better to be polite.

Roy nodded his head, “Yes, my Lady.”

Bella’s eyes brightened, “Then do you mind if you have one more servant to direct? Can I apply to be a servant? I could be a gardener or a cleaner.” Bella said quickly and looked at Roy pleading.

Roy widened his eyes surprised, “Milady, do you mean you want to be a maid?”

Bella nodded her head, “Yes, do you know how strict the Lord is? He has deducted me $1000, I won’t have enough for my mom’s treatment next month because of that. So, I am wondering if I could do some part-time jobs for you? Could you do me that favour?”

Roy suddenly straightened himself and smiled, “Actually my Lady can ask the Lord for that money directly. The Lord is so good to you, and he would agree to give it to you. He would not allow you to be a maid.”

“How is it possible that he is good to me?” Bella refuted. But then she realized that it was not appropriate to say that to him, she added, “He is indeed good to me. I was joking just now.”

Roy must tell Charles if she spoke ill of him. She could not make such a mistake.

Roy smiled, “Then, please directly ask the Lord for that, Milady.”

“You are right.” Bella nodded her head routinely and bowed to Roy, “Thank you.”

Roy also bowed to her and said, “Watch your step, Milady.”

Bella stepped away.

It seems that Milady always avoided my bows. Roy thought.

“My Lord!” Roy withdrew his attention from Bella and lowered his head at the sight of Charles.

Charles smiled when he thought of the things that happened this afternoon. Bella was satisfied with what he had done to Lynn Sanders. After he finished the other several issues, Bella would be willing to have his child.

If she were pleased, she would give birth to his child on her own. That was what he read online.

Bella went back to her room and felt depressed.

She covered her swollen lips from Charles’s kisses.

Her period was done already, how long will she still be able to hide it from Charles? Her baby would call another woman mother one day, and that made her hurt.

Sometimes she even wanted to die than be controlled by him and have sex with him.

But now the priority was money. Bella cheered herself up and searched for part-time graphic design jobs online.

She had taught herself about graphic design using websites and YouTube. She wasn’t qualified because she did not have the experience or the schooling. But she had no other choice since Charles wouldn’t allow her to go to a job and work so she needed to find a job that she could do online and at home.

She searched for a long time and finally found one that was published online a week ago. It did not have any professional requirements; the only thing it requested was a portfolio of past works!

Bella was delighted. But she did not have any work yet.

She thought for a while and took pictures of some of her drawings in her sketchbook. Then she waited for the reply anxiously after sending them.

Soon, she got an email back.

“Looking forward to our cooperation. No topic. We want one in two days.”

Bella smiled from ear to ear. So quick. Were her lucky days coming?

She replied at once, “Do you have any requirements?”

“Yes. We want your style. I will send you the details of this project later. Please provide your bank details for deposit.”

Bella did so. Five minutes later, she not only received the details but also the deposit.

400 dollars!

Bella immediately began to study the information she got.

Working was indeed healing for a broken heart.

She forgot everything that was unhappy and focused entirely on working.

While Charles still waited for Bella to asked him for the money.

He could not keep waiting and sensed what she was doing.

He closed his eyes and saw that she was drawing something. He thought of the pictures she drew of him in her sketchbook, he smiled. This woman must be picturing him.

While there was someone who was under excessive pressure.

The wedding between Lynn Sanders and Martin Smith had become the laughingstock of the world.

They had explicitly invited the leading TV channels and the hottest online media in the country to cover their ceremony. Lynn planned to take advantage of this ceremony to gain fame. She never expected that her popularity would disappear because of the scandal.

Though the video had been deleted because it was related to sex, there was still a bunch of pictures online. What’s more, many had watched the video.

What was worse was that the news about her scandal was always followed with news that Bella’s erotic pictures were proven fake.

Overnight, Lynn’s millions of fans that she had gained from being so considerate were all gone, and many people insulted her online and sent her abusive messages.

Things in the DB Group were also not good. Private investors were selling their shares and stockholders complained a lot.

Lynn had lived with Martin for a while. That night, she listened to her mother and snuck back into the house where she and Martin lived. She waited anxiously for him to come back.

Martin loved her skills in bed. She had to sleep with him tonight.

She had waited a long time. Martin had not come home until 2:00 a.m. His cheeks were red from drinking alcohol. His clothes were a mess. He was drunk.

“Martin, honey, you are back.” Lynn came to him and behaved as gently as possible.

Martin pushed her hands away and fell into the sofa. He looked at Lynn Sanders and became irritated, “What are you doing? Was I not enough for you?”
