Bella stopped in front of her office door and turned to Sam with a thoughtful expression.
"Sam, I need you to spend more ti on the Sentinel Network and less ti following around. Uhm…You know what, you only need to focus on the Sentinel Network. Assign soone you trust the most as my guard," Bella ordered.
Sam and Leo were surprised to hear that.
"I’m sorry, Boss. With all due respect... I can’t do that," Sam imdiately and firmly refused her order.
"I know that the Sentinel Network is important. But protecting you is my top priority. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. So, even though I’m busy with the Sentinel Network, I can’t leave my main task behind. Trust , Boss. I’ll manage." He continues.
Bella was impressed to hear Sam’s professional answer. Still, she always felt guilty whenever she saw his incredible commanding and managing talents wasted as a guard and driver.
"Sam, I’m not a big shot like my husband, who needs dozens of bodyguards to shadow him. You don’t need to worry too much about my safety. I can take care of myself. Just assign soone capable of fighting to be my driver..."
"But—"
Bella raised her hand to stop him from continuing his words.
"Co on, Sam. If you think of as your Boss, follow my orders," she strictly ordered him.
Even though Sam didn’t think this was a good idea, he had no choice but to agree with Bella.
"Okay, Boss. I will appoint a trusted and capable person to look after you. But," Sam looked Bella in the eyes as if he wanted to tell her she couldn’t refuse his request. "If you visit another city, I’ll co along!"
Looking at Sam’s concern and how much he cares about her, Bella feels her heart warm. She smiles at him and nods, "Sure. Thank you, Sam..."
After Bella dismissed Sam, she turned to Leo, who looked at her with concern. She could guess what he was thinking then, but she said nothing to him and just walked into her office.
Leo slightly chuckled as he followed her inside. He stood before her office desk.
"Are you sure you don’t want Sam to be your driver? Jack assigned him to keep you safe here, Bella," he said with concern.
After Bella put her bag away, she took off her coat and hung it on the corner hatrack before sitting in her CEO chair. She looked at Leo with a faint smile slowly spreading across her lips.
"Yes, I’m positive. Tristan has asked , and I have accepted, to let him drive around. You already know how protective he has been lately, right?" she said while leaning against her seat.
"Hahaha, of course, I know. Boss Tristan is a loving husband. I still couldn’t wrap myself around the fact that he even left his crucial international business trip just to co back to you when he heard you were hospitalized," Leo couldn’t help but laugh when he rembered what happened in Nova City.
"Yeah... That’s why Sam would be useless if he stuck to becoming my driver," Bella sighed while opening her laptop. "Such a waste of talent... to let Samuel Brown, a solid ex-special force and a fully gifted project manager, drive for ."
"You are right about that, Boss. I’m sure Boss Tristan will assign his best people to protect his darling wife."
Bella was surprised to hear Leo’s remarks. But he is right.
Even though Tristan had not yet said anything about it, Bella was sure she would hear from Tristan about it in a few more days.
She shook her head while smiling at Leo, "Alright, let’s stop talking about . What ti do we have a eting about Stellar Entertainnt?"
Leo glanced at his watch before he answered, "You have 20 minutes to do sothing else before the eting starts."
Bella nodded slowly and asked Leo to leave. She needed to check her schedule for the week.
However, before she touched her laptop, she took out her cell phone and stood by the glass wall overlooking the busy street below.
After thinking for a few more seconds, she called her Grandpa’s number. She didn’t have a chance to call him last night. And this morning, she was worried about calling him when Tristan and Dax were around.
"Grandpa, good morning..." Bella imdiately greeted Isaac Donovan when the line connected.
"Bella, morning dear. Have you guys arrived in the Capital?"
"Yes. We arrived last night. And I’m so surprised to know you are in the East City. Why didn’t you tell about it, Grandpa? What happened there?" Bella asked. She couldn’t hide how worried she was now.
She continued her sentence after waiting, but her grandfather didn’t say anything.
Bella was increasingly convinced that sothing was happening there.
"Grandpa, I know my father wants to set up with his friend." Bella smiled when she heard her grandfather take a deep breath. She continued, "...but I wonder why they called you back to the East City? And what made you rush to go back there!?"
This is what makes Bella confused. If her father was planning to match her, he should ask her grandfather to take her too, right? But he didn’t do that? Or, if her father couldn’t call her because she blocked his number, he simply called Grandpa’s phone to talk to her.
Bella felt sothing fishy happening there.
Silence fell as Isaac seed reluctant to tell what happened in the East. He had plans to settle things here before he flew back to the Capital and talked to her.
But it seems he can’t make his granddaughter wait.
After deep breathing, Isaac finally answered, "You are right; your father already arranged a marriage for you. I guess you already know who he is?"
"Yes, I know," Bella answered. Stefan had already given her the old man’s identity, and just reading the person’s profile was enough to make her head spin.
