Bella followed the voice and opened the door of the office. She saw Zhang Xue standing outside with a gift box in her hand.
"Why are you here?" Bella's expression changed and she was a little surprised.
Zhang Xue did not expect that Bella would come out of Ben's office. She looked a little flustered, but it only lasted a few seconds. What was there to panic about? Everything she had done was reasonable.
"You're here. That's fine. You can pass this gift to Mr. William. I'm really satisfied with the job that he has arranged for me," Zhang Xue said and was about to hand the gift to Bella.
"What's this?" Bella didn't take it, but asked.
"I bought a pen. He will definitely need it at work. It's very practical," Zhang Xue immediately said.
"You said that he arranged a job for you? When did it happen?" Bella narrowed her beautiful eyes. Ben didn't tell her about it, which made her angry.
"Oh, maybe he doesn't think it's unnecessary to tell you, so you don't know. But it doesn't matter. I will work hard for the company in the future, and I won't embarrass Mr. William," Zhang Xue suddenly said with a smile.
"My boyfriend won't accept gifts from other women. You can take it back for your own use. Since you work in this company, this pen must be useful to you," Bella folded her arms in front of her chest, unwilling to accept her gift.
"Hey, Bella, you are too narrow-minded. Do you think that I have other intentions by giving him this pen? I just want to express my gratitude," Zhang Xue was very angry when she heard her words.
"I know. You are my cousin. If you really want to thank him, I will thank him for you. It's getting late. Aren't you going off work?" Bella replied with a fake smile.
"Are you so unconfident?" Zhang Xue mocked her. She had spent a lot of effort preparing the gift, but it was blocked before it was sent to the person. She was a little angry.
"It doesn't have much to do with confidence, but it has something to do with being shameless or not," Bella raised her eyebrows and spoke very straightforwardly.
"You... Bella, you are unreasonable. Who do you think I am? How ridiculous," Zhang Xue was so angry that her face turned red. She turned around and left angrily.
Bella saw her walking to the elevator and felt a little unhappy. She turned around and slammed the door of the office. The assistant was shocked. Was Miss Charles angry?
"Ben, you're hiding this from me, how annoying," Bella realized that she could not read a single word. She was jealous, wait, no, she was angry. When Ben pushed the door open and went in, he saw Bella sitting on the sofa with a cold face and staring at him with a strange expression. Ben couldn't help but smile. Who had made his girlfriend angry?
"What's wrong? Have you been waiting for a long time?" Ben put the documents on the desk, went straight to her side, and sat down. Bella was angry the moment before, but when she saw the handsome smile of the man, she lost much of her anger.
"Ben," Bella sat up straight, looked at him seriously, and called out his name.
"Huh?" Ben's heart skipped a beat. Her expression and tone somehow made him a little nervous.
"Would you lie to me?" Bella was a young and aggressive girl. She was not mature enough, so her question was naturally immature. "No, I wouldn't lie to you," Ben answered her seriously, feeling confused. What had happened to her that day? Was she triggered by something?
"Will you keep something from me?"
།
Bella continued to ask, but she was still a little disappointed. He said that he would not lie to her, but he did not discuss with her about arranging Zhang Xue to work in the company.
Ben's brain was spinning rapidly. He must have done something wrong and made her unhappy, since she would ask him those questions. But, what did he do wrong?
"Well, don't ask these questions. Tell me, what did I do wrong? I'll change it," It was hard to guess a girl's mind. Even though he was wise, he was confused at the moment.
"Zhang Xue," Bella didn't beat around the bush and just said a name.
Ben's eyes widened in an instant. It turned out to be that matter, but... he thought she knew it? Didn't her mother mention it to her?
"It was your mother who called me

and asked me to arrange a job for her. Didn't you know?" Ben felt innocent. He did not know that she would be angry because of that. He felt that it was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning
"My mother asked you to arrange it? It's not you who arranged it?" Bella was also stunned. It turned out that there was something else.
"Of course. If it weren't for your mother, I wouldn't have made such an arrangement. I don't know her at all," Ben smiled helplessly.
"Why didn't my mother tell me about
this?" Bella pouted her lips. It seemed that she was angry for nothing the moment before. If she had known that it was her mother who recommended her, she would
not have been angry with him.
"Isn't she your cousin? Do you have a bad relationship with her?" Ben could finally hold her waist and gently pull her to him. His thin lips pressed against her hair and kissed her.
"Not all cousins are very close. I've been fighting with her since I was a child. We don't like each other," Bella laughed at herself.
"Since you have a bad relationship with her, you should meet less in the future. I hope you are happy every day. Don't be sad and angry for some unworthy people," Ben immediately comforted her.
"All right," Bella was easily coaxed by him and nodded.
For the sake of the development of her two daughters, Adah decided to move to the city where Bella lived. The Zhang's family was rich, and they had bought a lot of properties in various places.
Mark's project still showed no progress. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He had lost sleep for several nights. Adah saw it and was worried.
In the end, in order to relieve her husband's pressure, Adah decided to ask Lina for help. Although she disliked that woman, at present, the company's project was more important.
After asking around in the hospital, Adah learned that Lina had been discharged from the hospital and was nowhere to be found.
Adah gritted her teeth and said, "It must be June. It seems that she is really afraid that I will kill Lina, so she has made preparations early. Hmph, since she is afraid, she can ask her for help."
Adah was very confident. She immediately called June and wanted to meet her.
June hung up directly when she saw her call. She didn't want to hear Adah's voice at all.
Adah could only text her to tell her that she wanted to stop the fight for the time being. She would not ask her to divorce Jonas, but she had to agree to other conditions.
June knew that Adah was sly. She would not give up her daughter's happiness so easily. It was just a delaying tactic.
However, she wanted to see what tricks Adah was playing.
