Bride of Mr.Billion

Chapter 400

Bella’s POV:

I didn’t expect my studio’s first order to be obtained through Linda.

And two clients came at the same time.

This was a great help for me. I was very grateful to her.

About a week later, I completed these two projects. The client was very satisfied.

I also reported the result to Linda. Linda was very happy. “Oh, Bella, I knew you could do it.” “You really want to do a good job. I can see your serious attitude.” “I’m willing to introduce new customers to you.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Linda’s words gave me more confidence.

Although the projects were not very big, they were very suitable for our current stage. They could help me earn profit. More importantly, I could make a reputation in the industry as soon as possible.

That morning, I was working hard. Joey knocked on my office door, and then she poked her head in. In a low voice, she said, “Bella, someone came to see you. That person said he was sent by Mr. Wharton’s special assistant Connor.”

Hearing this, I couldn’t help frowning. Herbert had gone to New York. Why would he send someone here? What was the point of sending people here? I couldn’t guess the purpose of this person for the time being. “Let him in.” As I spoke, I sorted out the documents on the table. Then, as soon as I saw Joey’s invitation gesture, a young man in a gray suit came in from behind. “Mrs. Stepanek, hello! This is my business card. I was asked by Connor to come here.” The man handed over a business card with both hands.

After taking over the business card, I found out that this person was called Kalkesma. He was the manager of a branch of the company under Wharton Group When I saw the information on his business card, I already roughly figured out why he came to me. I smiled and greeted him. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Kesma.”

“Miss Stepanek, I came today…” Kalkesma was about to say something.

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, I interrupted him. “Mr. Kesma, our abilities are very limited. As you can see, there are only five people. Thus, we can’t take on the business of the Wharton Group for the time being. If there’s nothing else, you can leave!” After that, I put the business card in my hand in front of Kalkesma. A look of surprise appeared on Kalkesma’s face.

Afterwards, Kalkesma laughed and said, “Connor ordered me to come here, and we’re just a branch of the Wharton group. That’s why we don’t have much to do. Your company will definitely be able to accomplish it.”

Although Kalkesma came to me as a client, he looked at me as if he was looking at the boss.

Why was it like this?

He didn’t fear me not did he respect me.

It was Herbert, the president of the Wharton Group.

I was a little impatient, and I didn’t want to talk to him anymore. “I said I wouldn’t receive any business from the Wharton Group. Joey, send the guest out!” Kalkesma turned to look at Joey, and then looked at me. He said helplessly. “Miss Stepanek, if you refuse me, I can’t explain myself when I go back!”

I didn’t answer him.

The silence made the atmosphere a little awkward.

In the end, Kalkesma was sent away by Joey

Although I knew that Herbert and Connor was being kind, I couldn’t accept his help anymore.

The reason why I started my business was that I wanted to be independent.

I didn’t want to be a woman attached to Herbert

If all the important projects of starting a business came from Herbert, what confidence would I have to say that I wanted to be independent in the future?

And now, something had happened between us.

I couldn’t rely on him. I couldn’t accept his help.

If we quarreled or broke up and accepted the benefits from him, it would make me lose confidence.

The more I relied on him, the less confidence I had to leave him.

In the future, if I relied on the resources he gave me to make the company better and have more employees.

I would be more and more worried.

Did I have to compromise for the sake of the company’s interests even if I knew he had other lovers outside?

No, I didn’t want things to become like that! Then, Joey ran in and closed the door of the office.

She asked me, “What’s wrong with you? You refuse a project that can make money? Even if the business of the Wharton Group isn’t for us, they would still have get someone else to do it. We’re not

charging a lot of money. There’s no need for you to do this at all!”

I didn’t tell Joey about the last time I went to New York and saw Herbert eating with a young girl.

That was why I wouldn’t tell her what I was worried about.

Then, I laughed. “Do we want to make a company with our own strength, or do we want to become a branch under the Wharton Group in the future?” “Of course we have to rely on our strength… to make a company” At this time, Joey nodded. “Oh, I see. So we can’t accept the kindness of Herbert in the future, can we?”

“Yes. That’s my principle.” I nodded.

“Then I’m going out to work.’ Joey smiled and turned to leave. On this afternoon, I came out to see the client. It was already past three o’clock when I finished. This place was very close to my mother’s house, so I bought food nearby to visit my mother. As soon as I entered the corridor, I saw that the door of my mother’s house was open, and the voice of my mother talking to a man came from inside.

“Can’t you just go and have a look?” The man’s voice was very urgent.

“I said I won’t go!” My mother’s voice was firm.

I immediately recognized that the man’s voice was Ryan’s. When I heard his voice, I was very angry.

I turned around and walked in.

My mother sat in front of the sofa with a very serious expression.

Ryan stood in front of her, looking humble and pleading.

It must be Ryan who came to pester my mother to make up with him again, so I came up to him angrily and said, “Ryan, what are you doing here?” Ryan said angrily, “I’m your father!”

Heh, what a joke.

The man who once abandoned us was now calling himself my dad?

I said coldly. “My dad has been dead for a long time!”

“You…” Ryan raised his hand angrily

At this moment, I was not afraid at all. I stepped forward and glared at him. “As long as you hit me, I will definitely send you to the police station!”

“You…” Ryan put down his hand and said, “I don’t want to talk to you. I’m here to find your mom to help Betty.”

I frowned. “What’s wrong with Betty?”

Ryan replied, “It’s all because of Hank. He’s gone to a training school to work now. He got together with the girl at the front desk of the school. Betty was very angry. She took Anne to find trouble with that little girl!”

Hank had a lover outside?

How was this possible?

Hank was a moral person. He hated this kind of thing the most. How could he do this? I pointed at Ryan and asked, “Was it you who incited Betty to go there again?” “Why would I incite again? Is it right for Hank to find a woman outside?” Ryan retorted loudly.

“Do you have any evidence of Hank’s love affair?” No matter what, I couldn’t believe such words.

“Why won’t I have evidence? I saw them go to the hotel more than once. Betty also found their ambiguous text message in Hank’s mobile phone!” Ryan shouted even louder.
