Chapter 141 Bad Behavior

“My Lord, I’m afraid that only hamburgers can be done in ten minutes.”

“That’s alright.”

Ten minutes later, when Bella appeared in the president’s office, the coffee table in front of the sofa was full of hamburgers.

“My Lord.” Bella stood at the desk and bowed Charles who was sitting on the sofa on the other side of the room.

“Come here.” Charles’ arm slid casually on the back of the sofa and waved at her.

As soon as Bella approached him, Charles grabbed her hand and pulled it hard. She fell into his arms.

Bella looked up from his arms and whispered, “My Lord, please behave yourself!”

“Behave myself?” Charles said as if he'd heard a joke. Holding her chin, he pulled her so his lips were close to her lips, “You are my Lady, and it’s natural for me to want you, even here.”

Bella didn’t attempt to evade him. Snorting a faint laugh and moving her lips slightly she said, “But, my Lord, Miss Spencer will be so sad.”

“And you?” Charles’ voice was light. He was not angry like he was before when she'd mentioned Katherine. He even did not punish her by making her eat dinner alone.

Bella didn’t expect this. She was shocked for a moment and didn’t know what to say. She paused, then she lowered her eyes and laughed to herself, “Me? It’s never the business of the Lord to consider my feelings though, is it?”

She had witnessed their love and the slow erosion of their feelings over time. After all this time, it was too ridiculous to ask about her mood again.

“Oh, Bella!” Charles looked at the pain in her eyes and suddenly kissed her.

She closed her lips tightly, but he penetrated into her mouth, the tip of his tongue painted her lips over and over again. Just as she was about to push him away, he took a bite of her rich lip, and when she was crying out, he captured her entire mouth with his.

Bella didn’t move.

One second he was asking her feelings, the next second he had completely ignored her desire not to be kissed.

If it wasn’t for his phone suddenly ringing he would have never let her go.

“Katherine!” Charles’s voice was as clear as ever, without any trace of betrayal.

“Charles, I have a stomachache.” Katherine’s voice was crying. Bella was close to him, so she could hear a bit.

“I am coming back now.” Charles stood up and walked to the desk. Bella , who was still in his arms, was immediately pushed aside.

He looked back at Bella, who was lying on the sofa. His eyes darted over her so quickly that she didn’t even notice.

He dialed Ziv’s extension, “get the car and go back to the Mansion.”

When he turned back, Bella had already come up to him, still with the respectful look, “My Lord, may I use the bathroom?”

“Yes, you may.”

“Bella!” Charles suddenly called her.

Bella stopped. She turned around and lowered her head, “My Lord.”

“What are you going to do in the bathroom? Hiding and crying secretly?” he asked.

Bella looked up and smiled, “No,” she bent her eyes, “I just feel sick and I need a moment.”

Charles’ face changed suddenly. Stepping forward he grabbed her by the neck and bit her lips.

It was a bite, not a kiss.

His teeth pulled and pinched her  delicate lips until both of their mouths were stained with blood. He released her hands and gazed at her bloodstained lips, “Your mouth looks as if it has been bitten off.”

Bella's tears swelled up in her eyes. She hung her head low and said softly, “My Lord, can I use the bathroom?”

“f**k off!” he said as he turned and left. The door of the president’s office was slammed shut so hard that the entire top floor seemed to shake.

Bella stood in the middle of the office and touched her swollen lips. The tears finally couldn’t help but fall down her cheeks.

He was the one who wanted to kiss her. He was the one who knocked her down because of Katherine. He was the one who bit her and he was the one who got angry.

It was true that the rich could do anything they wanted.

Charles’ leaving was a good thing, it gave Bella the chance to prepare the product portfolio for Nick. She had been delayed in Charles’ office for less than half an hour and by the time she came back her inbox was filled with the product pictures he sent. He moved quickly. Bella lamented that it was really not easy to run a startup company, because the boss is responsible for doing everything personally. Right this very moment, Nick was living it up in a luxury villa. His one hand was tapping the keyboard while he was lying on a beach of seawater in mid-air. Looking at the request confirmation from Bella, his mind flashed with her angry look at the lunchtime.

It was much lovelier than that of Katherine.

Nick closed the computer and called, “Jack.”

“My second master!” An honest and loyal middle-aged man stood before him in a respectful manner.

Nick threw the photo in front of him, “Don’t hurt this woman in the evening’s action.”

Jack glanced at the photo and asked, “What if she fights first?”

“She doesn’t have that skill yet!”

Nick waved his hand, “By the way, go to find an office and some staff for the shell company that imports the household products, I want it to look like a real company in a week. It should appear to be a start-up company that looks very inspirational and focused.”

“But, my second master, if we do the business of imported household items directly, then setting up a branch makes it easier to avoid a lot of red tape...”

Nick interrupted him, “You are getting mouthy.”

“Yes, my second master, I will do it right away.”

Nick twisted up his lips and raised his eyebrows. Being the boss of a startup company sounded fun. Didn’t Edwin get on quite happily with his false identity?
