Chapter 874:
“It doesn’t matter if they’re worthless. Anyway, I won’t sell you,” Herbert responded, ending the call with hearty laughter.
“Herbert, is there anything important? If not, I’ll hang up!”
I knew he was trying to distract me with sweet words. When I let my guard down, he would always set up some trap for me to fall into. It was always the same.
“Yes. Yes.”
Hearing that I was about to hang up, the voice on the other end hurriedly added, “Just hear me out, please.” I sighed and replied, “Fine, tell me what’s on your mind.”
He continued, “There’s a party tomorrow night. Come with me.”
“What kind of party?”
I really didn’t want to attend any event like that.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event hosted by the municipal government of A City for business celebrities. The annual top 10 elites of the business circle will be selected,” Herbert explained.
Bella’s POV:
A business celebrity party?
I immediately felt bored just hearing about it.
I frowned and said, “I don’t want to attend such a dull event.”
“So you want me to take another woman with me?”
Herbert threatened.
Of course, I didn’t want him to take another woman. The thought of another woman standing by his side, holding his arm, made me uneasy.
“You can go by yourself,”
I suggested.
“It’s customary to bring a female companion to events like this. Besides, you’re about to be the wife of the president of the Wharton Group. The invitations will be sent out in a couple of days, and many people will want to meet my wife. Don’t let them down!”
Herbert said gently.
Hearing this, I reluctantly agreed, “Fine.”
When he heard my response, he was immediately pleased.
“Remember to dress beautifully!”
“I’ll have to spend money to dress up,”
I raised my chin and said.
“Isn’t my supplementary card with you? There’s a $3 million limit. Feel free to use it. Don’t worry about saving it for me.”
After that, he hung up.
At that moment, Joey walked in, pushing the door open. She placed a document in front of me.
“What’s wrong? Why the frown?”
Joey asked, noticing my expression.
