Chapter 665:
I was certain he was here to see Linda.
But it wasn’t even lunchtime yet. Couldn’t he wait to meet her?
I felt a twinge of frustration and decided to leave.
However, as soon as I took a few steps, I heard the sound of an engine revving behind me. The black Bentley pulled up in front of me.
The rear window rolled down, and there, in the car, was the cold face of a man.
“Get in the car,” Herbert said to me.
I frowned. Hadn’t he come to see Linda? Why was he asking me to get into the car?
Bella’s POV:
“Mr. Wharton, I think you’ve got the wrong person. The one you’re looking for is still at work!”
I turned around, ready to leave.
But then I heard the sound of a door opening behind me, and suddenly, my wrist was grabbed by Herbert. I instinctively struggled against his hold.
“What are you going to do? Let me go!”
“I have something to tell you,” Herbert said, holding my hand as if determined to leave with me.
I shook off his hand and snapped, “I have nothing to say to you!”
“Can you talk to me calmly?” Herbert shouted, his voice rising.
“Herbert, please don’t bother me anymore, okay? I’m really anxious right now. Aren’t you looking for Linda? Go find her. You can enjoy lunch together, and maybe even go to sleep together afterward. Aren’t you two getting close? You’ve been sending her a bouquet of delicate red roses every day, with your name on the card.”
“Stop pestering me, okay?”
I yelled at him. Despite my anger, he smiled.
“Are you jealous?” he teased.
I immediately denied it.
“Nonsense! I won’t be jealous! Absolutely not!”
The more irritable I became, the more he laughed.
In the end, he managed to push all my buttons. I turned around, ready to leave.
“You’re being unreasonable!”
But he reached out, grabbed my arm, and pulled me back toward him, causing me to fall into his arms.
“Let me go!”
I immediately struggled, but he held me tightly, refusing to release me.
Suddenly, remembering his injured leg, I lifted my chin and threatened him.
“If you don’t let me go, I’ll kick your injured leg.”
“You can’t bear to kick me,” Herbert said with a grin, his face filled with amusement but his tone dripping with confidence.
