Chapter 137 Please Him No Longer

"It is. I'm wondering why you stood me up yesterday." Bella apologized softly, "I didn't come yesterday because something came up. I couldn't download the software on my mobile phone. I'm sorry, I am very sorry."

"Oh! If only sorry could solve everything." the man's voice seemed to ease. “Umm...”

Nick interrupted her, "You can treat me lunch at noon and I’ll consider whether to keep you on. Is this a problem for you?"

Bella was relieved. "You're willing to give me another chance?"

"I don't want to, but I am willing to give you a chance to apologize." the man said  bluntly.

Although his tone was rough, Bella was happy.

A chance meant money and she wouldn’t give that up.

Charles stood at the door of the office and could see what Bella was doing. She sat at her desk with her head down and seemed very busy. Charles told Ziv, "Tell Bella to come over and bring me coffee."

What on earth could she be busy with? As a secretary, she was becoming less and less diligent. And how long had it been since she'd made coffee him coffee?  

“Yes, Lord.”

Ziv walked up to Bella and said respectfully, as usual, "Lady, the Lord asks you to his office."

"OK." Bella stood up.

To be honest, Ziv still maintained his original respectful attitude towards her and Bella was very touched by this.

Ziv was Charles’ personal assistant and, most of the time, people thought  that Ziv’s attitude was representative of  Charles’ own attitude. Even if Charles and Katherine enjoyed public displays of affection in the office, Ziv’s attitude was undoubtedly telling everyone that Bella was the real Lady.

“The Lord wants you make coffee for him, no sugar.” he reminded her.

He was afraid that Bella had forgotten Charles' preferences. He worried that she would make the Lord angry again, which would lead to a punishment.

Bella had never been a fool, she could feel Ziv’s kindness.

Standing at the door, she smiled at Ziv and said, “Thank you.” Charles looked over a document and sensed that Bella was smiling at Ziv in front of the door. However, her awkward look when she stood in front of him was unsightly.

"My Lord, your coffee!" Bella put the coffee on his desk.

Charles took a sip and spat it out directly, then slammed the coffee cup on the table. "Is this coffee? Can coffee below eighty degrees even be consumed?"

"Sorry, I will bring you another right away." Bella was not scared. Without lifting her eyes, she took the coffee cup to the kitchen and threw it in the sink. Then, she went to the administrative office on the fifth floor and got a liquid thermometer.

It wash half an hour later by the time the new coffee was made.

"My Lord, eighty degrees." Bella put the coffee in front of him again, "In one more minute, though, it will be below eighty degrees."

Charles’s eyes were as cold as ice. “Bella, are you trying to demean my behavior now?”

Bella lowered her head and said, "I dare not!"

Dare not, dare not. But she dares smile at Ziv in such a warm and happy manner.

He stood up and said, "Bella, what on earth do you want to do? I said that playing hard to get doesn’t work with me.".

Bella lowered her head, “If the Lord thinks this way, I have nothing to say. If there is nothing else for me to do, I will go.”

Charles was incensed by her attitude.

"Stop," he said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her whole body around, making her fall directly into his arms.

Without any hesitation, he kissed her.

At this time, the image of Charles kissing Katherine in this office immediately appeared into Bella’s head. She pushed him away, but his body did not move.

She wanted to bite him but as soon as she opened her mouth, her mouth was being more deeply explored by the Lord's tongue. Her throat was caught by his large hand and her mouth forced open. She was like a fish out of water, gradually losing the strength to struggle. Her throat was aching because of his strength. But she suppressed the pain, putting her hands around her throat and holding back a cough. Her eyes became red because of the pain.

The bite marks left on her lips last night were bleeding again, but he thought her lips looked especially charming this way.

Charles blinked his eyes and Bella took a step back and said softly, “My Lord, you can believe that I will tell Miss Spencer that you kissed me in the office, where you kissed her last time. Maybe she will be very hurt when she knows about this, and  run away from home again.”

"Bella, why are you always being so unpleasant and difficult to get close to?" Charles suddenly felt helpless.

Why couldn’t she say something to calm me like Katherine? Why did she always try to make me angry?

"I am not Miss Spencer and I have disappointed the Lord. If the Lord doesn’t have anything important for me to do, I will go now. " Bella lowered her head.

She moved backward silently and closed the door behind her.

Such an attitude again! Even the obedient look on her face was annoying.

Charles raised his hands and made a sweeping motion which sent the coffee cup and its contents flying through the air. He regretted doing this. After all, she was busy making the coffee for almost half an hour. He watched the coffee cup fall to the floor and coffee splatter. In the past, she went to great lengths to ensure his coffee was delicious. She would steam cream for the unsweetened black coffee, which made it soft and beautiful.

But now, she just made black coffee at eighty degrees for him, per his request.

Bella would no longer please him.
