In the CEO’s office of Quantum Capital on the 19th floor.
Bella was busy reading reports on her computer screen when she heard a knock on the door.
"Yes?" She responded without looking at the door.
"Boss, soone asked to see you," Leo’s voice ca from the door, making Bella look at him with a frown. She saw Leo leaning on the door fra.
"Who?"
Bella rembered she didn’t have any appointnts today because she had a lot of files to read from their other subsidiary company.
"Andreas Corby," Leo smiled when he saw her eyes widen. She appears suprised.
"Why did he co to et ? He supposed to et Mr. Sullivan, right!?"
"Yes, you’re right. However, after he found out that you were the one who gave orders to the legal team, he’s furious out there and insists on seeing you."
"How troubleso!" Bella shook her head, feeling annoyed. "Leo, you know this person doesn’t deserve to et , right?" She looked into Leo’s eyes.
"Indeed! But he’s so mad now, throwing a tantrum because Sam stopped him. Not letting that piece of trash into your office..." Leo chuckled as he walked in and casually sat down on the sofa. "Boos, do you want to et him or not?"
Leo glanced at Bella, who walked to join him and then sat right before him.
Bella didn’t rush to answer Leo. After quietly and relaxedly settling on the single sofa, she asked, "Where’s Jack?"
"Sleeping upstairs. Looks like he’s tired after working late til the morning, online with another office in a faraway country with a very different ti zone."
"So? That’s co within his responsibility. How dare he sleep while we’re working now?" Bella said as she took her cell phone and dialed Jack’s number.
"Hello," Jack’s hoarse voice ca from the other end. "Bella...why did you wake up so early?" He sounded annoyed.
Bella chuckled at his words.
"Geez...You should be embarrassed by the sunshine out there. It’s almost lunchti, boss."
"Ugh! Bella, I got into my bed when the sun was just about to rise. I know, I know. It cos with the job. But please let sleep for a few more minutes...hmm...?" Jack growls while burying his head under the pillow.
"Well, I’m sorry. You can’t sleep now, boss. Your brother-in-law is making a scene in my office. Please co here imdiately to look after him, or I’ll call the police and throw him in jail!"
Beep!
Suddenly, the telephone connection was ended.
"Damn! He hung up?" Bella stared at her cellphone screen in disbelief. Just before, she wanted to call him again. An incoming ssage pops up on her phone screen.
[Jack: ] Yea, yea. I will co down imdiately.
[Jack: ] No need to confront him yourselves. Let handle it.
After Bella put her cell phone on the table, she narrowed her eyes at Leo, making him suspicious of her.
"Bella, what are you planning to do about it now!? Why do I see from your eyes that you are about to make a cunning yet slick plan?"
Bella curled her lips into a crafty smile, with an ungodly fla dancing happily in her eyes as she said, "You know so well, Leo. Would you join to teach soone a lesson!?"
"Teach soone a lesson? Is this soone you an... Andreas Corby?"
"Yup! Let’s teach him a life lesson before his brother-in-law cos and takes care of him." Bella said excitedly.
"You—" Leo was speechless when he heard her words. He vaguely heard Jack begging her not to do anything earlier. But now she has an idea to prank Andreas Corby.
"Co on, Leo... What are you afraid of? Jack will understand if he knows what Andreas Scum Corby does. He will even reward us if he knows... Trust !"
Leo was tempted to join her plot after hearing the word "reward."
"Should I help with your plan, Bella?" He asked while looking at her in the eyes.
"You should, Leo!! You know what a jerk he is, right!?"
Bella was disgusted with Andreas Corby after finding out from Sam’s investigation that the man was a womanizer with a terrible attitude toward won. He already has a legal wife, but everyone knows he is still looking for another woman to be his companion. He seed to be building his harem, manipulating won with his romances in every city and every country he visited.
How disgusting!
After a few monts of thinking, finally, Leo agreed.
"Okay, count in..."
Leo needed to vent his annoyance after Jack ruined his peaceful life. Since Jack arrived in this city, he could not rest at night; Jack made him work too and included him in every online eting. He feels exhausted. Last night, he could only sleep for two hours.
Bella smiled happily when she saw Leo leave the room to invite Andreas to et her. She also stood up from her seat and walked towards her desk, taking a brown envelope from one of the drawers.
A smile blooms on her lips while looking at the brown envelope in her hand.
’Andreas Scum Corby, you will soon et your end after what you did to your wife...’ Bella muttered to herself and returned to the seating area.
However, before Bella could sit down, she saw Leo had returned with a tall, large man following him. She knew the man was Andreas Corby.
Bella was taken aback when she saw Andreas Corby in person because he looked different from the picture she had seen. He had a square-shaped face and short, curly brown hair. He looked decent in his light gray suit, but his expression revealed anger when he entered her office.
"Boss, this—" Leo’s sentence suddenly stopped when Andreas walked past him and stood just a few steps from Bella.
"You are the newly appointed CEO. Listen, I don’t care how you beco CEO of Quantum Capital..." said Andreas in an annoyed and angry tone. "You have to rember that you are nothing compared to ! You have to know how to position yourself. How dare you ask the legal team to question my work?"
Bella, "...."
