Although news about Stellar Entertainnt was circulating, Bella wasn’t worried, as she and Stefan controlled the information flow. There was no news about Quantum Capital and its other businesses.
If an article tries to relate Stellar Entertainnt to Quantum Capital, all news about it will vanish instantly from the internet.
But sothing gave her a headache. Even though she could silence the news, she couldn’t stop the employees in this building from gossiping.
Sam inford Bella that the company’s future is causing concern among all departnts, particularly the employees at Stellar Entertainnt.
Stellar Entertainnt employees seek an internal statent from the new managent to explain the company’s future. Almost half of their actresses and actors have been fired, and the employees are eager to know what is happening.
Bella doesn’t plan to do anything for Stellar Entertainnt; she will wait a few more weeks until all the cleaning processes are completed.
She focused on handling so work with other companies, especially their new investnt in a new oil and gas company in Nova City.
Quantum Capital invested significant money in Celebes Energy, a new oil and gas company, becoming the largest shareholder. This caused Bella to shift her focus to Celebes Energy.
She has planned to visit Nova City since last week, but Stellar Entertainnt drained her attention and ti. So, Leo had to rearrange their plan to visit the company within a few days.
Currently, Bella can only read so reports from Celebes Energy and have online etings with managent.
Bella had been so busy working since morning that she would have forgotten to eat lunch if Leo hadn’t co to remind her.
"Boss, I know you like working, but you can’t forget your lunch..." Leo smiled when he saw Bella glaring at him. But he ignored his annoyance and continued his words. "Let’s go find so delicious food..."
Bella closed her laptop and then stood up from her seat. After she took her bag, she approached and asked him, "What do you want to eat?"
"You choose," Leo leaned against the doorfra, concerned about her. She had been glued to her work, not standing from her seat since she arrived at the office.
Sam told Leo that Bella didn’t ask him to buy her brunch, which she usually does when she is in the office.
"Alright, let’s eat an Asian food..." Bella offer.
"Which country?" Leo asked excitedly. He was craving Asian food after eating pizza and burgers frequently in recent days.
Before offering, Bella thought montarily, "How about Vietnase food? I really want to eat Pho?"
"Damn!! What a coincidence! I want to eat that too..." Leo chuckled while they walked toward the elevator.
However, before they enter the elevator, a short-haired woman approaches Leo.
She greeted Bella politely before looking at Leo. She said, "Mr. Smith, I received a package for Ms. Donovan." She offered Leo a small black box the size of a watch case.
Leo frowned as he looked at his assistant, Dana. "What is it?"
"Sir, I’m sorry, but I didn’t dare to open..." Dana answer.
"Okay, you can continue your work. Thank you," said Leo as he received the small black box from Dana and handed it to Bella. "Are you waiting for this one?"
Bella shook her head, confused, looking at the box.
"Nope, I didn’t wait anything. Ugh... Leo... Why, I thought soone was trying to prank !? Can you open it for ?"
Bella felt suspicious and afraid to receive the box. Only a few people knew about her office, most of whom were her family. They wouldn’t send sothing to this place but give it directly to her, right?
Instantly, Leo’s expression turns tense as he eyes the black box on his hand, and then he slowly turns his gaze to Bella.
"Did your enemy send this?" Leo asked.
He beca suspicious of those recently fired from the company, especially Andreas Corby and Laura Kiels.
Bella frowned. She also started to wonder if those people would take revenge on her.
"Well, just throw it…" she said and entered the elevator. Leo followed her behind, but his face grew tense as he saw the box in his hand.
After a few monts, he drew closer the box to his ear, hoping to hear sothing. Fear grips him as he considers the possibility that the object inside might be a bomb.
Ding!
The elevator opened.
"Gosh! You just need to open it or throw it away, Leo," Bella said as she stepped out of the elevator.
Leo sighed softly as he followed Bella out of the elevator. He ran to match her pace and got closer to her, "What if... it’s a bomb?"
Bella stopped abruptly and frowned upon hearing his words. Although she had considered the sa thought, she had set it aside that thought.
"No. It’s impossible..." Bella answered and continued walking toward the main entrance. She saw Sam standing near the car, waiting for them.
"You can give it to Sam. He is an expert on whether it relates to bombs or sothing like that."
"Oh, you are right," Leo said, imdiately offering the box to Sam.
"Can you please check what’s inside? This is from an anonymous source. I suspect there’s a small bomb inside." Leo whispered.
Sam’s expression instantly turned dark.
