It was a past Justin could not bear to look back on.
With his internal phone ringing. Justin took the call via loudspeaker What is it?â
âMr. Salvador, Ms. Thompsonâs secretary wants to see you. He doesnât have an appointment. Should I
tell him to go?â
lan rolled his eyes upon learning Steven was here. They were sworn enemies.
âTell him to come in,â Justin said aloofly..
It was a challenge to score a meeting with the president of Salvador Corporation.
However, Steven was one of Bellaâs employees, so Justin was happy. to give him the green light.
Minutes later, Steven stepped foot in the office with a stern look.
âMs. Bella asked me to hand you this, Mr. Salvador.â
While talking, Steven put a white box down on Justinâs desk.
âWhat is it?â The man stared at the box without looking up.
âA bomb,â Steven replied coldly.
Justin pursed his lips.
âHey, do you think youâre funny?â
lan could not stand Bellaâs lapdog. He said angrily, âIf it was a bomb, you wouldnât have gotten past
Salvador Corporationâs security.â
Stevenâs words dripped with sarcasm. âWhy bother asking then, Mr.
Salvador? Itâs nothing dangerous. Just accept the gift from Ms. Bella.â
lan gritted his teeth and kept his thoughts to himself. âHis decent clothes canât cover the stank of his
mouth.â
With pursed lips, Justin opened the box curiously.
It was nothing dangerous, of course. There was a cream cake in the shape of a dog, and it was oddly
adorable.
He curled his lips.
âDid Bella make this?â Glee hid behind his composed eyes.
âHa! Dream on. Ms. Bella instructed me to buy the cake for you.â
Steven said tauntingly with a smile, âDo you think you deserve to enjoy Ms. Bellaâs cooking?â
Justin was speechless. His jawline was tense.
âWhatâs that supposed to mean anyway? Ms. Thompson has cooked. for Mr. Salvador before. If Mr.
Salvador didnât deserve it, why would she endure it for three years?â lan snapped back.
Steven looked at Justin in disdain. âAnna Brown would even feed dogs, but Ms. Bella wonât.â
Livid, lan was ready to pull a punch. âTake that back!â
âEnough, lan.â
Justin stopped him and asked solemnly, âWhy did Bella give this to me?â
âMs. Bella sent me to tell you that she has received the stuff that you delivered anonymously. This is
her returning the favor.â
Justin was dumbfounded. âSo she knew? That was quick.â
âSheâs sending you a reminder not to treat her like a fool. She is intelligent and needs no dogged
advice.â
Without saying goodbye, Steven turned and walked out of the office.
âDogged advice? I hope sheâs not talking about you.â
There was no need for lan to say it out loud.
As Justin grew grimacing, lan turned pale and backed up to the corner helplessly.
