Chapter 942:
Then, I wiped my mouth with a tissue, stood up, and said, “Gary, it’s the weekend tomorrow. Anyway, I’m not going to work. I’ll give you two days off. Go back and see your husband and child.”
With that, I turned and walked out of the dining room.
After walking out of the villa, I covered my chest and lowered my head with a smile. Then I took out my mobile phone and made a call.
“Are you awake?”
As soon as the call connected, Herbert’s deep voice came through the line.
I could hear the sound of the car moving and knew he was still on his way.
“I’ve already had breakfast and gone out,” I said with a smile.
“How about the breakfast I prepared for you?” Herbert asked.
“It’s delicious, but I just put it in my mouth. I didn’t really get a chance to taste it,” I replied.
“What do you mean? What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Herbert’s tone suddenly became concerned.
Hearing the concern in his voice, I smiled and said, “I’m not uncomfortable. I was just chatting with Gary for a while. I gave her two days off and asked her to go home to visit her family.”
Herbert breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tomorrow is the weekend. You have to work harder. You’re a good hostess, caring about her family.”
“It was us yesterday…”
I looked around and saw no pedestrians passing by. Then, in a low voice, I added, “We irritated her yesterday and made her miss her husband.”
Herbert’s laughter came from the other end of the line.
“It’s all my fault. Next time, I’ll give her a new headset,” Herbert said with a smile.
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. I thought he would say that he’d be more careful next time or that he’d be gentler. But instead, he said he’d give her a headset.
“I’ve never met such an overbearing person like you. Well, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m about to go to work, and I’m going to be late again. When I get a break at noon, I’ll find time to go to the hospital to see your father and my mother. I’m hanging up,” I said to Herbert on the phone.
“Are you angry that I said I’d give another woman a headset? I’ll give you one too.”
Herbert was still teasing me.
Bella’s POV:
That morning, I was working when Joey walked over.
“It was delivered by express delivery just now.”
Joey placed a parcel in front of me.
I looked down at the parcel and couldn’t help but frown.
“Who sent it?”
“You’ll know when you open it.”
