After hearing from Vincent that Ada had left the show early, Bella rushed to the basement parking lot
with Steven.
Ada sat in the MPV with a scowl.
As the car door began to slide shut, a hand gripped the edge, preventing it from closing.
âI know you must be furious to see the post on Twitter, Ada. Iâm livid too because the photos were
leaked. KS Group has been kept in the
dark about everything.â
Bella was out of breath and sweating from running.
Ada smiled pretentiously at Bella. She had been in the acting
business for over thirty years, so she was an expert at controlling her expressions and emotions.
Without throwing a fit, Ada said indifferently, âWe have a deal, Ms. Thompson. I know that you might
not be aware of the leak. I trust that you are a woman of principle, Ms. Thompson. Or Vincent wonât
speak highly of you.â
Stevenâs eyes lit up because he believed all was not lost yet.
Well, Steven and Bella were in for a rude awakening.
âBut you canât deny that KS World Hotel has a serious concern about security measures, and thatâs
your responsibility as the general manager. The design of the wedding setup was leaked this time.
Next, it might be the clientâs personal information. KS World Hotelâs
management issue is the cause of todayâs incident. Donât you think so, Ms. Thompson?â
Fuck. Things turned ugly quickly, and the woman did not hesitate to dump them.
Flushed in the face, Steven was dying to stand up for Bella.
He could take the insults and even a beating, but he could not stand others questioning and
challenging Bella. It pained him to see the woman he watched growing up get hurt.
Bella raised her arm to stop Steven. Composing herself, shel graciously admitted her fault.
âMy apologies, Ms. Wang. It was our negligence that resulted in the leak of the wedding setup photos.
As the general manager of the
hotel, I am at fault.â
âMs. Bellaâ¦â Seeing red, Steven clenched his fists.
âYou are better than most managers for acknowledging your mistake, Ms. Thompson, but itâs a fact that
the contract has been breached. Regardless, the terms have been violated, so I will end my
collaboration with KS Group as dictated in the contract. Otherwise
see no point in having a contract in the first place. Iâm sure youâd
agree.â
Ada smiled and gave her agent a look to close the door.
âPlease wait, Ms. Wang.â
Bella took a box from Steven and handed it to Ada humbly. âI
understand your choice to cancel our partnership. Although we canât work together, I believe weâre still
friends. I have made the dessert
you love, so I just want to deliver it to you.â
Ada glanced at the box without taking it. She said, âThank you for
your kindness. When we have a chance to work together again, Iâll accept your gift.â
Bella gritted her teeth as the MPV drove away.
âAda insulted you by not accepting the gift. That was mean!â Steven was furious, but there was nothing
he could do about it.
KS World Hotel was at fault to begin with.
âI can understand why she did what she did. She wasnât insulting me. She didnât have a reason to
accept my gift since the deal was off. With her wedding drawing close, Iâm sure sheâs restless after
what happened. She has to look for another hotel now.â
Bella drew a deep breath to calm herself. âEven though Ada isnât collaborating with us anymore, Iâm not
over the matter. The priority. now is to find the person who did this to me. Letâs not forget about- the
mole hiding among us.â
âA mole?â
Widening his eyes in disbelief, Steven murmured, âAre you suspecting one of us? I thought Bethany
was behind this.â
âSure, Bethany started it, but without help from the mole, she couldnât
possibly have succeeded. We should start vetting from inside our
organization.â
