Chapter 878:
Herbert hesitated for a moment. I quickly looked up and said to Connor, “Let’s go. We’ll leave right away.”
Bella’s POV:
“Then I’ll go outside,” I said.
Connor immediately noticed that the expression on Herbert’s face was off, so he promptly left.
Watching Connor leave, I quickly grabbed Herbert’s arm and looked at him.
“Look, it’s already too late. If we don’t leave now, I’ll go upstairs and change clothes, and that’ll take at least half an hour. Didn’t you say there would be many celebrities from the business world? Although you have a high status in the business community in A City, there are still some elders with a higher standing than you. If you’re late, people will definitely think you’re arrogant. Besides, I don’t have any suitable clothes, so I’ll wear this one.”
After a long pause with no response from him, I shook his arm gently.
At this moment, Herbert pursed his lips and finally spoke.
“I’ve noticed you’ve gotten much better at being coquettish recently.”
With that, Herbert stepped toward the entrance.
I quickly followed him.
“Really? I think so too.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Herbert stopped suddenly. I quickly stopped as well, or I would have bumped into his back.
The next moment, he turned to look at me and warned, “Don’t get too proud. I won’t always compromise when you act like a spoiled child. I am a man of principle!”
“I… Of course, I understand,” I said with a smile.
He was truly a man of principle. He had compromised in less than two minutes.
“Let’s go.”
Herbert seemed to be in a better mood now. He turned around and walked out of the villa with me following behind.
I couldn’t help but curl my lips at his back. After observing him these past few days, I realized that sometimes, being too tough with Herbert wasn’t the best approach. When I was tough, he only became stronger. So, sometimes, I had to use a gentler method.
I learned how to be a bit of a “good girl.” When his mood wasn’t the best, I would act like a spoiled child and speak softly. It worked every time. The trick of being coquettish had gradually become my secret weapon. It was highly effective.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the reception party in A City. The uniformed waiter stepped forward and opened the back door of the car. Herbert and I got out, and Connor drove the car away. I took Herbert’s arm as we walked into the lobby of the Hilton Hotel.
“Do you still remember this place?”
As soon as Herbert stepped into the hall, his eyes lit up as he gazed at the huge crystal chandelier above us.
The light in his eyes was soft, and there was a playful smile on his lips. At that moment, I immediately remembered that the Hilton Hotel was where we stayed the night after we first met.
