Bella‘s POV:

A few days later, the door of my office was suddenly pushed open by Joey.

“Bella, Mr. Hall is here. He said he had something urgent to discuss with you.” After Joey finished speaking, Mr. Hall hurried in.

Seeing that Mr. Hall‘s face was very ugly, I quickly got up and said, “Give him a cup of coffee.”

Mr. Hall stood in front of me with a dejected face and said, “No need, no need. How can I still be in the mood to drink coffee?”

Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but frown. “Mr. Hall, what happened? Why don‘t we sit down and talk?”

Mr. Hall sat dejectedly on the guest sofa. Rubbing his hands against his face, he said, “Mrs. Stepanek, why are you hiding your identity as the wife of the president of Wharton Group from me? If I knew your identity, I definitely wouldn‘t dare to let you get drunk!”

Hearing this, I raised my eyes to exchange a look with Joey, and then asked in confusion, “Mr. Hall, don‘t understand what you mean. Besides, I‘m no longer Herbert‘s wife. To be more precise, I should be his ex–wife.”

“You‘re still related to him. Now that I‘ve offended Mr. Wharton, I‘ve lost all my business with the Wharton Group. Not only did they not buy anything from us, but no supplier will even supply me with raw materials!” Mr. Hall said dispiritedly.

Mr. Hall almost burst into tears. I couldn‘t help but frown. “Is it that serious? Are you sure it was done by... Herbert?

I couldn‘t help but suck in a breath of cold air. It was indeed what Herbert would do.

Mr. Hall continued, “I have a few friends in the industry as well. I asked my friends for information, and they were told that they couldn‘t do business with me, or Mr. Wharton wouldn‘t do business with them. The Wharton Group is a large company. They didn‘t dare to offend Mr. Wharton, so they had no choice but to sacrifice me.”

Hearing this, I was very angry. What was he doing? Was he deliberately intimidating me and asking me to beg him?

At this time, Mr. Hall looked at me with pleading eyes and said, “Mrs. Stepanek, could you please go to Mr. Wharton and ask him for a favor? Please ask him not to be angry with me. My company is a small company and it can‘t suffer such a huge blow.‘

In the face of Mr. Hall’s pleading, I felt extremely troubled. “I divorced him a long time ago. I… can‘t help.”

I was telling the truth.

I didn‘t have the confidence to convince Herbert. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Mr. Hall immediately stood up and bowed, tears already falling “Mrs Stepanek, could you please help me? I still have an eighty year old mother to raise, my son is still studying Master‘s degree If my company falls, our entire family won‘t be able to survive For the sake of me helping you as well. I. truly treat you as a friend!”

Seeing Me Hall crying bitterly, my heart softened

At this moment, Joey stepped forward and gave me a push. There was no choice. In this type of situation, I couldn‘t just watch Mr. Hall getting implicated because of me, so I could only nod my head. “Alright, I‘ll think of a way.”

“You have to go look for him right now. Our company is producing food and all the food has their expiry date. We can‘t drag any longer!” Mr. Hall said frantically.

“He‘s in New York now. We have to wait for him to come back,” I said.

Mr. Hall said, “I‘ve heard from someone that Mr. Wharton has already returned to City A yesterday. He‘s currently at the Wharton Group. If you go there now, you‘ll definitely be able to find him!”

Mr. Hall reached out and handed me the bag on my desk.

“He‘s back?” He came back yesterday? But why didn‘t he go home last night?

“He‘s back.” Mr. Hall nodded in confirmation.

In the end, I had no choice but to take the bag from Mr. Hall‘s hand.

Five minutes or so later, I walked into the building of the Wharton Group.

I was too familiar with the ‘Wharton Group‘. This place used to be where I worked every day. Thad never been here in the past few years. Now that I had suddenly come here, I didn‘t dare to step inside.

After entering the main hall and the elevator, I realized that there wasn‘t much difference. It also brought back my memories of the past.

I used to spend a few years of my youth here, and it was also the place where I worked hard.

Getting out of the elevator, I was afraid that I would meet my former colleagues, so I lowered my head and quickly walked to the president‘s office.

“Miss, who are you looking for?” A young and beautiful lady at the desk outside the president‘s office saw me and quickly stood up.

I remember that the former secretary was not this one. It seemed that Herbert had changed his secretary. This secretary was very young and beautiful.

“I‘m looking for Mr. Wharton,” I replied calmly, but in my heart, I was a little nervous.

The secretary immediately smiled and asked, “Do you have an appointment?”

“No,” I replied.

Upon hearing these words, the female secretary immediately said, “I‘m sorry, Miss. If you don‘t have an appointment, you won‘t be able to see him.”

“I have something urgent to discuss with him. Could you please help me inform him?” I said.

The female secretary still had a smile on her face, but her attitude was already very tough. “I‘m sorry, we have to follow the procedure. No one can see Mr. Wharton without an appointment. His time is very precious.”

Hearing this, my face darkened.

Looking up at the two dark red doors in front of me, I made up my mind and rushed in!

“Miss, you can‘t break in...” The secretary immediately turned around the desk to stop me. However, I had already reached out to push open a door in the office and walked in.

“What‘s going on?” Herbert, who was sitting at the desk, got up and walked over.

“Mr. Wharton, this young lady barged in. I didn‘t manage to stop her...” The female secretary replied, trembling with fear. Herbert ordered, “You can go.” The secretary glanced at me curiously and then left quietly. The door of the office was closed, and the large office fell into silence.

“Sit down first?” The expression on Herbert‘s face was very calm. He turned his head and picked up the cigarette box, as if he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he did not light it and put it back.

“Do you know why I came?” I asked him.

I was right. He used Mr. Hall‘s incident to lure me here.
