Chapter 57:
Joey said, “Then why did he drive Emma away? Is it because the baby in your tummy hates that woman?
Joey’s words confused me.
“What did you say? Who drove Emma away? I looked around and really didn’t see Emma in the past, at that time she must have gone to Herbert’s in fancy clothes.
“What? You still don’t know? Early this morning, Emma was sent back by the vehicle derties arranged by Connor, and tears were about to flow from her eyes, but Connor’s attitude is extremely unyielding, she replied, glancing in the direction of Herbert.
He was still eating elegantly, but there was a wave of emotion in my heart I had never thought he would send Emma away Was it for me?
At this point Joey leaned forward and teased, “You must have done very well last night, our Mr Wharton is in a good mood today!”
“Nonsense.”
I looked away and touched my face, feeling it getting hotter and hotter, “What nonsense? I saw him running this morning with a smile on his face. He must be in a good mood! Joey said with a smile.
I lowered my head and thought, “I was very tired last night. He still has the strength to run. It seems his body is too strong. Now I remember his strong waist…”
Bella’s POV:
On Saturday afternoon, the staff took a tour of the beautiful scenery of Moon Bay, led by the resort’s receptionist.
I didn’t see Herbert all afternoon. I didn’t see him again until dinner. I was a bit disappointed.
Suddenly Joey chuckled and whispered in my ear, “What’s wrong? Did you miss your boss?
“I’m just a bit tired. I didn’t deny Joey’s teasing.
Joey said immediately.
“To be honest, you’ve been walking around for half a day this afternoon, you’re tired, go back and get some rest. The baby is the most important thing right now.
Yes,” I nodded. I got up and walked to the VIP area.
I walked through the door of the VIP area and saw Herbert’s secretary, Allie, walking over with a thick folder in her arms, “Hello, madam.”
Allie greeted me.
In private. Allie addressed me as his wife, respectfully and politely. In public, she treated me equally and didn’t favour me. Perhaps that was why Allie was trusted by Herbert, because she really was very reliable in doing things, and she could also understand Herbert’s needs.
“You haven’t eaten yet? I didn’t seem to see Allie in the restaurant just now.
Allie lowered her head to look at the document in her arms. She said, “Mr Wharton wants me to scan the document quickly, I have to finish my work before I can eat. I frowned and thought, “Is he still working?”
She seemed to have seen through my doubts. She said immediately, “After lunch, Mr Wharton went back with Connor, there’s an important project over there that needs him.”
Hearing these words. I understood. No wonder I hadn’t seen him or Connor for a whole afternoon and night. It turned out that they had already returned.
“I’ll get back to work then.”
