Chapter 176
Bride of Mr.Billion
The third personâs POV: At 10 oâclock the next morning, Lily knocked on Ellaâs office door. âCome in.â
Said Ella as she looked down at the account book behind her desk. âBoss, Bella hasnât come to work yet.
I canât get through to her.â Ellaâs expression was solemn. âBella seems to be very sick. Did something happen to her? She usually comes to work on time, and she wonât be absent for no reason.â Lily was very worried about Bellaâs situation.
Ella lowered her head and thought for a moment. Then, she said, âLeave this matter to me. You can go back to work.â
âOkay.â Lily turned and left the office.
Ella took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. However, the call was not connected, so she was a little anxious. About half an hour later, Ellaâs phone suddenly rang and she immediately answered it.
âI was working just now. Is there something wrong with Bella?â Kleinâs voice was rather frantic.
Ella pulled her lips and looked a little disappointed. After a few seconds of silence, she continued, âIf Bella isnât working here, will you call me back?â Klein hesitated for a moment, then said, âElla, you are a very mature and rational woman. Why are you acting like a spoiled woman?â âOh, Iâm only telling the truth.â Ellaâs tone softened. âIf it werenât for the fact that I know your personality, I wouldnât have asked you to take care of Bella.â Klein laughed.
Ella said, âIf Bella hadnât come to my company by chance, you wouldnât have handed her over to me, would you?â âYouâve thought too much. Actually, Iâve always wanted to introduce her to work in your accounting firm, but she didnât want to.â Klein explained. âI believe what you said. Bella is a smart and independent woman. She always tries her best to learn and never complains. No wonder you are so attentive to her and youâre willing to give up all the other women just for her.â Ella teased. âEnough. What are you looking for me for?â Klein asked. Ella said, âBella has caught a severe cold these days. I asked her to go home to rest yesterday morning, but she hasnât come to work since then and we couldnât get in touch with her on the phone. We donât know where she lives, so I called youâ¦â âWhy didnât you tell me earlier?â Before Ella could finish speaking, Klein let out an irritated roar, then hung up the phone âHello?â
Ella said to the phone. When she looked down, the phone had already been hung up, and she couldnât help but feel a little annoyed.
She threw her nhone on the desk. feeling very disappointed and angry.
More than a month ago, Klein had contacted Ella and had personally come to Wharton Mountain to invite her to dinner. For the date, Ella dressed very beautifully. But she didnât expect that the purpose of Klein inviting her to dinner was to ask her to help take care of Bella, whom she had just recruited. At that time, Ella was very depressed. However, she didnât refuse Kleinâs request, because it would make her appear petty. In addition, she wanted to know exactly what kind of woman would make him give up on Vivian.
What Klein asked her to do was to reveal a little bit of Bellaâs recent situation to him. Or perhaps, he asked her not to be so strict with Bella at work, and help Bella occasionally in life. In the beginning, Ella thought Bella must be a delicate woman. But when they really got to know each other, she knew that Bella was a very strong, smart, and hardworking woman. Bella was a straightforward person, and she was very active in her work. Therefore, she gradually admired Bella. However, such admiration did not make her give up. She thought that she was much better than Bella. But even if she was not convinced, there was nothing she could do. In order to make herself feel more at ease, she blamed Bella for being a few years younger than her.
The driving distance between J City and Wharton Mountain was three hours. In less than two hours, Klein had arrived in Wharton Mountain. Ding dong⦠Ding dongâ¦.â âBella! Bella! Open the door! Are you okay?â Klein kept knocking on the door of Bellaâs house. But there was no movement inside. Klein frowned. Then, he took a step back and suddenly kicked the door in front of him! Clang! The next moment, the door was successfully kicked open, and there was a hole in the wooden door. Klein immediately entered the room, then turned and entered the bedroom. With a single glance, he saw Bella who was curled up on the bed. He rushed forward to touch Bellaâs head and found that it was very hot, and her whole body was trembling âBella?â Klein gently patted her cheek. âUmâ¦â Bella did not even open her eyes. Kleinâs eyebrows were tightly furrowed. He covered Bella well, then bent down and picked her up with the quilt, then ran outâ¦
