Chapter 116

Bella’s POV:

I didn’t want to drag Klein down, so I immediately said, ‘Emma, this is a conflict between the two of us.

The two of us will resolve it. Don’t implicate others!”

“It’s your lover who hit me. Do you understand?” Emma was very arrogant.

The word lover made me feel a bit embarrassed. After all, we were in Klein’s company, with dozens of colleagues watching us.

Even though I didn’t have any sort of ambiguous relationship with Klein, it was hard to explain it right now.

Klein wasn’t a weak person either. He pointed at Emma and said, “If you want to continue to cause trouble, I have many ways to deal with you. Do you want to give it a try?”

Klein was enraged.

Emma quickly covered her face and took a few steps back. “There are so many of you, and you want to bully a weak woman like me!”

At this time, two lawyers came forward to persuade Emma and told her the consequences. They also agreed to compensate her with some medical expenses before she left.

Emma was also a smart person. She wouldn’t win a figt against the lawyers, so she took the 800 dollars of medical expenses and left.

Before she left, she glared at me.

I knew she hated me again.

But I didn’t care.

Finally, the matter was settled.

Klein pulled me to his office and hurriedly found a first-aid kit to help me wipe the wound on my mouth with medicine.

“Ouch!” | touched my face and cried out in pain.

Klein looked at me, his brows tightly furrowed. His expression was solemn. “That woman just now was your little sister?” I denied. “I only have one sister! It’s not her.” Klein expressed his doubts.

I explained, “My biological father married her mother!”

Klein nodded, then laughed. “That woman is very fierce.” “Why did you pay her so much money? I was also beaten?” I said. Not only did Emma cause trouble, but she also received a sum of money. I was a little angry. “I slapped her twice. She won’t be able to go out for at least a week, so we didn’t lose out.”

There was a hint of mockery in Klein’s voice. Hearing that, the anger in my heart lessened a little. Thon I suddenly thought of something and said, “I’ll deduct 800 dollars from my salary.”

17.19 “I was the one who did it. Why should I deduct your salary?” Klein said.

I glared at him and said, “I caused this trouble.”

“It’s impossible for me to watch my employees being bullied at will. What am I going to do as a boss in the future? Actually, I have to thank you for helping me establish my authority in the company.” Klein forced himself to say.

I know I couldn’t convince him. Although I was the best debater in university, Klein was a lawyer.

I gave up arguing. I thought about the way my colleagues looked at me just now and couldn’t help frowning. “You were too impulsive just now. No matter what, you shouldn’t have hit someone. Your actions could easily make… everyone misunderstand.”

“Misunderstand what?” Klein stared at me.

“Misunderstand…” When I began to speak, I saw him looking at me with a smile on his face. I said angrily, “Are you really stupid or are you playing dumb?”

“That b*tch’s words are too unpleasant! Bella, as long as we do our best, that’s fine. Don’t tell me you think what that woman said is true?” Klein said seriously.

Trose to my feet and said, “You’re a lawyer. I can’t convince you. But in the future, it’s best for us to keep our distance. Mr. Wharton, please understand me!”

After that, I turned and walked out.

“How far is the distance you are talking about?” When I walked to the door, the person behind me suddenly asked. I stopped in my tracks. After hesitating for a moment, I turned to look at Klein. In a serious voice, said, “The distance an ordinary boss and an ordinary employee should have.” After speaking, without waiting for Klein to reply, I turned and walked out of Klein’s office.

After I walked out of Klein’s office, I walked around the corridor and saw many people discussing my relationship with him.

I was unable to stop the rumors. In the future, I would have to keep a distance from him. I hoped that as time went on, the rumors would slowly disappear.

The next day, I came out of the office with a cup and wanted to go to the pantry to make a cup of coffee.

As soon as I reached the door of the pantry, I heard someone talking inside. “Does Boss really have an ambiguous relationship with the manager?” Selina smiled as she said, “How would I know if they have an affair? I didn’t see the two of them make love?”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the pantrye.

Testimated that there are at least four or five people in the pantry. After those people laughed, Selina continued, “But didn’t you guys notice? Usually, the way the Boss looks at Bella is very different. It’s the feeling of warmth. It’s scorching hot. Right, it’s the kind of heat caused by chemical reactions!”

“I also feel that the Boss treats Bella differently!” “Yesterday, that crazy woman came to look for trouble.

Boss was very agitated. You’ve all been in the company for so long, who has ever seen Boss so angry?

And he even hit her!” Selina added.

“No!” The others all denied it.

“So Boss must love Bella!” Selina laughed. “No way! Boss is a playboy, but his job and private life are separated very clearly. He never flirted with women in his work place.” “Perhaps he didn’t meet a suitable woman.” Selina said, “I heard that Boss has a girlfriend. What will happen next?” Someone asked. “I don’t know. Let’s see who is better between Boss’ girlfriend and Bella!” “Yesterday, that woman said that Bella’s ex was the president of the Wharton Group. The president of the Wharton Group and the boss of our company are cousins. The two brothers and a woman…” “Who cares if they are brothers? Besides, they are cousins. Some biological father and son may sleep with the same woman.” Selina said with a smile.

“I didn’t expect Bella to look so serious, but in fact, she is so flirtatious. All the men who are obsessed with her are bosses!”

“Women can’t only depend on their appearances. Maybe she has good means on the bed. You all have to learn more!” What Selina said made everyone laugh again.
