Indeed, she did. He remarked, “I did not appreciate you being alone with him.” He murmured that he was now her fiancé. It is advisable that you refrain from requesting his reconciliation.
Bella remarked, “She will be pleased; I did not.”
“I believe he would have, had you desired it.” It appears she also believed he would.
“She has no concerns regarding that matter.”
I never once heard him declare that he was satisfied with Bella.
She punched the lift button to ascend to Ben’s office; she had not heard him express any happiness, only that she had fulfilled her obligations and was his family’s selection for a marriage. He would likely require a substantial prenuptial agreement, or that woman would acquire all his assets, should he go to engage with another, as he said he would.
It was destined to be an unusual prenuptial agreement, and she contemplated whether the girl’s family would be permitted to view it. If it were her and this were included in her prenuptial agreement, she would not want her family to be aware that her husband would be unfaithful at his discretion to engage in the s****l activities she would not provide. Almost exhaled audibly, presumably that girl merited superior treatment.
She and Macky proceeded to her office, where she observed her secretary beam and exclaim, “Bella, you’re back?”He seems pleased to see her.
“Apologies, but only for a limited duration.”
He exhaled, “I suspected as much… Ben has had individuals entering and exiting your office over the past few days, and it appears your clients are being redistributed among the other attorneys.”
She nodded, stating, “As anticipated.” There was nothing further she could articulate. “Am I permitted to enter my office?” Ben was aware of my arrival today.
“He did not assert that you were not.”
She sighed, “I should refrain from proceeding without authorization.” She turned and proceeded back to the lift to ascend to Ben’s office, albeit they would now arrive early. Upon arrival, Ben’s secretary gestured for her and Macky to take a seat in the waiting area.
“It is improbable that this will proceed favourably, Bella,” Macky remarked as he took a seat beside her.
“It is not.” However, I was aware that my arrival would likely result in reprimand, making it preferable for Luke to remain absent.
“Concurred.” He would not tolerate it.
She observed Ben exit his conference, direct his gaze towards her, glance at Macky, and then frown, stating bluntly, “My office, Bella,” before turning to his secretary. “Is it in print?””
“Yes, it is on your desk awaiting your signature, Ben,” she replied as Bella rose.
“Good.” He nodded and turned to Bella. “I do not have all day, Bella,” he yelled at her.
She entered his office, and he shut the door behind him. “It is reassuring to observe that the individual recognises his unwelcome status in this office.”
“His name is Macky.”
“I have little regard for his name, Bella,” he observed while walking behind his desk to retrieve a piece of paper for review. “Sit,” he instructed.
She sat and observed him as he placed the document down and signed it, thereafter remaining behind his desk and gazing at her for an extended, silent minute. Bella recognised that he was significantly displeased with her, although there was little she could articulate that had not already been conveyed during their phone conversation.
“What is the location of Luke Cupper?””
“Not present.”
“Did he allow you to come out here independently?””
“He was not afforded an opportunity to express his opinion on the matter.” I have just departed to arrive here.
He leaned over and asked, “Did you leave?””
“Not in that manner, Ben.” I did not abandon him. I arrived independently to converse with you, that is all.
“You are not alone; one of his CEOs is present.”
“Indeed, I was raised alongside Macky; in fact, I accompanied him here as he had business to attend to, and I simply secured a ride.”
I am indifferent, to be frank. You disappoint me; you are a competent lawyer and have integrated well here. Typically have a remarkable work ethic; nevertheless, I no longer observe that quality.
“Mitigating circumstances, Ben; you were aware of my location, and I responded to every call and all your inquiries.”
You have been absent from the company for about three weeks, missing your court appearances, necessitating rescheduling, appointing new solicitors and obtaining consent from your clients, after clarifying that you were on the opposite side of the nation and unlikely to return.’
“The majority of my clients would have transitioned to Gillian or Adrian without difficulty.” “We collaborate collectively; when multiple lawyers are engaged, it is essential to consolidate our efforts.” She said, aware that it would not have been particularly challenging for him to accomplish this individually.
