At this moment, the air in the general managerâs office of KS World Hotel was freezing.
Bella stood facing the large floor-to-ceiling window with her hands behind her back. Her slim and
beautiful figure looked invincible.
âWho asked you to release that video?â
âYou said you wanted something to attract the publicâs attentionâ¦.
Steven stood behind Bella with a gloomy face.
âSteven, as my personal secretary and someone who grew up with me, you should know what worries
me the most!â
Bella slowly looked back at him. âI know that youâre doing things for me, but youâre also bringing in your
personal feelings. I know what youâre thinking. You want to use this to help me gain popularity and use
my kind image to contrast Bethanyâs vile behavior.â
The more she spoke, the lower Stevenâs head dropped.
That was because every word struck a chord in his heart.
âBut I donât need that attention.â
Bellaâs eyes turned colder. âWhat I did wasnât a big deal. It was the least I could do when my employee
had a seizure. No matter how much I dislike Bethany, I donât need to suppress her by showing off.
Once a good deed gets thrown into the public eye, its motive changes.â
âIâm sorry, Ms. Bella. I just wanted toâ¦â
âI donât care what you think.â
Bella turned around and picked up her phone with an expressionless face. âIâm going to call Asher now
and ask him to take you back. Your behavior isnât in line with my style.â
âPlease, donât!â
Steven turned pale with fright. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Bellaâs wrist. âYou can punish
me in any way you want! I donât mind cleaning the hotelâs toilet or washing dishes in the kitchen. You
can cut all my salary! Just please donât make me leave you, okay?â
Bella frowned slightly. Her wrists were hurting from his grip.
However, his scorching gaze at this moment frightened her even more.
Steven came from a judicial family. His father was a chief judge, and his mother was a well-known
litigator. His two elder brothers also held important positions in the judiciary. Although Stevenâs family
was not filthy rich, the Lovetts were a respectable family in Hatchbay. As the youngest of the Lovett
family, Steven received the best education and was pampered in every way.
However, this man really humbled himself for Bella and KS Group. Steven could have had a brighter
future, but he was willing to sacrifice himself to be her personal secretary.
Thinking of this, Bella became soft-hearted. She sighed and said, âFine. This is the last time I will
condone such behavior.â
âThank you, Ms. Bella! I will never make decisions without your approval in the future!â Stevenâs eyes lit
up. He looked like he was about to cry tears of joy.
âTsk! Also, keep your hands to yourself.â Bella lowered her eyelashes slightly and scowled.
Only then did Steven realize that he was still holding onto Bellaâs wrist. His heart was beating rapidly,
and his cheeks felt hot as he quickly withdrew his hand.
He could feel her lingering warmth on his palm.
âSo, what do you want to do about your viral video?â
âI will tell Drew to handle it. Come with me.â
Bella pointed at the suit jacket on the hanger. Steven understood what she wanted and hurriedly took it
off the hanger and helped her put it on, like a butler.
âLetâs go meet Bethany.â
When Bethany found out that she was on the trending topics again, she was anxious.
âMom! What should we do now?!â
Bethany called Shannon anxiously and complained. âI finally made the trending topic, but now that
bumpkin is stealing my spotlight! Sheâs deliberately making me look bad!â
