Chapter 296

Herbert‘s POV:

I saw a man pestering Bella. “Mr. Wharton, why don‘t you find someone to teach that man a lesson?”

Connor asked. My mind was filled with the image of that man harassing Bella just now. I couldn‘t wait to chop off the man‘s hand. “I want to see his detailed information.” “Yes.” Connor nodded. I looked out of the window. Bella got in a taxi and disappeared completely from my sight. “Let‘s go back!” I said. Connor nodded, and then he started the engine.

Ever since Bella rejected me in person last time, I had never appeared in front of her.

In fact, only God knew how much I missed her in my heart.

But my strong self–esteem didn‘t allow me to pester her. So I bought another Rolls–Royce. Bella wouldn‘t recognize my car. I often asked Connor to drive to the place where Bella always appeared. In fact, most of the time, I could only look at Bella from a distance.

But this was the only way to ease my pain of longing. If I forced myself to appear in front of Bella, it would only make her hate me even more.

Bella‘s POV: It was Friday. In the evening, both Lucas and Lucky were sent over by Herbert.

I was busy in the kitchen for two hours and finally got dinner ready.

Joey said with a smile, “It smells so good! It‘s delicious at first glance. I got an opportunity to have a big meal because of the two kids.” I smiled at Joey, picked up a chicken wing, and put it in Lucas‘s bowl beside. “Thank you, mommy.” Lucas was very well–behaved and sensible, and then bowed his head to eat. I chatted with Joey while feeding Lucky food. “By the way, how did it go with the investigation?” I couldn‘t even eat now. I was thinking about the budget case. Hearing this, Joey quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and replied, “I was about to tell you about it.”

“Any news?” I asked anxiously.

Joey nodded and said, “It turns out that my boss is very familiar with K.G. Software Company, They also came to our firm for several project budgets. It is said that the wife of the boss of K.G. Software Company died not long ago and he just found a new wife. This new wife and the son of the boss are fighting for benefits. Now the new wife and son are secretly fishing for money, playing on the budget and the project, not letting go of any procedure, so K.G. Software Company is now going downhill.”

Hearing this, I nodded and said, “There is indeed an inside story. No wonder the accountant in Group “Yes, the budget case in your hand is a project handled by the new wife of K.G. Software Company. She just wants to make the budget bigger and then deduct it from the execution. She will take the price difference by herself! In fact, the big boss of the firm is also aware of this kind of thing.” “But K.G.

Software Company is a big customer, and there will be big cases from them every year, so Linda, the director of your company, is unwilling to offend the big client. She can only pretend not to know. But the accountant staff is not stupid. If anything goes wrong with the budget plan in the future, the accountant will have to bear the responsibility.” I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Then I frowned and said, “Then what should I do? If I can‘t handle this case, I won‘t be able to turn into an official employee.”

“It doesn‘t matter if you can‘t. You won‘t have much of a future working for Selina. She‘ll make trouble for you all the time.” Joey tried to persuade me. I frowned and fed Lucky a mouthful of rice. Then I said unwillingly, “I‘m going to resign after being transferred.”

“If that‘s the case, why are you still taking this troublesome job?” Joey asked in confusion. The corner of my mouth twitched and I said, “I just don‘t want Selina to look down on me. I want her to know that it‘s not that I don‘t have the ability, but I don‘t have the will to stay there.” Hearing this, Joey couldn‘t help but laugh. “How old are you? Why are you still doing this because of her? So what if she thinks highly of you? So what if she looks down on you? After all, you and she are half enemies. Why do you care so much about what she thinks of you?” At this time, I was also a little distressed and said, “But I have already accepted it. If I push the responsibility to others, does it mean that I am too incompetent? Uh, I don‘t know why but I felt very uncomfortable when I saw the proud look on Selina‘s face at that time.” “It‘s really a shame to admit defeat now. You‘d better do what you should do. As for the result, it depends on your luck,” Joey said. At this time, I frowned and asked, “What‘s your boss‘s suggestion?”

Joey thought for a moment and replied, “He said you can just make the plan according to the formal procedure. As for whether the employer is satisfied or not, it‘s not up to you to decide. If the employer is not satisfied, you can ask the boss to replace you. In short, you can‘t do it illegally.” I thought about it and nodded. “Of course, I am not going to do things the illegal way.” With that, I lowered my head and looked at Lucky. Then I looked at Lucas, who had been eating with his head lowered.

Joey suddenly looked up at me and asked, “By the way, did Jeremy harass you again?” I said, “A little better recently.” “You have to protect yourself. Be careful. Do you understand?” Joey said to me. “Don’t worry. I won‘t stay alone with him. Besides, I‘m carrying a weapon with me now. If he dares to do anything to me, I won‘t be polite to him!” “It‘s just a fruit knife, and it‘s in your bag. If he really comes at you, do you think you can get the fruit knife out of your bag? In short, you must be careful, and you must call the police when necessary.”

Joey gave me advice.

“I understand.” I nodded.

Time flew.

Today was Monday, and I had been working hard for the past few days. Jeremy often came to me, but I didn‘t give him a chance. I didn‘t show up at work early and always left with my colleagues after work, so Jeremy had no chance to hurt me.

It wasn‘t until Friday afternoon that I finally handed the well–prepared case to Selina. Selina took the budget case from my hand and frowned as she asked, “You finished it so quickly?”

“Yes.” I nodded.

In fact, only I knew that I had been working overtime until two or three o‘clock in the morning after putting Lucky to sleep the past few days.

There were obvious dark circles around my eyes.

Then, Selina smiled and said, “I’ll contact the person in charge of KG to come over and check your budget. You can go out and wait.”

“Okay.” I nodded and then walked out of Selina‘s office. Finally, the plan was completed. Although I knew that the result would not be good, at least I did what I should do. As for the result, I could only rely on luck. I went to the rest room and poured a cup of coffee. When I lowered my head and was about to take a sip, I found that Jeremy was already standing in front of me..
