Chris, however, would likely prefer to be in the waiting room regarding that matter, reflecting his personal needs and issues with her having a human boyfriend.
She contemplated whether she had already encountered Chris but refrained from enquiring with Macky, despite her awareness that he possessed the information.
He attuned his hearing to Ben’s office to ensure her well-being, aware that Macky would have been doing the same while seated outside, as he perceived Benzy was now doing as well. He was unaware of the duration of her confinement.
Heard her declare, “I hitched a ride.”
He appropriated his jet, smiling slightly at the notion. He appreciated that she continued to pursue her own interests, since it revealed her true character. However, he appreciated the subtlety of it, with the remnants of the old Bella emerging alongside the defiant Bella, both intertwined.
However, she frowned at Ben Billy’s remarks, aware that he had been informed of her family situation, which was the reason for her absence from work for several weeks. Luke was aware that Bella significantly contributed to the company’s profitability and, from his observations, Ben generally regarded her favourably as an employee. Ben expressed his discontent with her using terse and severe language, conveying his unhappiness to Luke. However, that individual undoubtedly had to manage employee resignations.
Upon hearing that the man dismissed her, he sighed deeply; it must have been an unpleasant experience. He recognised that this was her sole employment and would likely distress her. After several minutes of silence, she informed Ben that she would issue a cheque in his name. That was very perplexing; why was she obligated to compensate the man? If he were terminating her employment.
He opened the door and entered the man’s office, overhearing Ben inform her that she would be compensating him for his time and efforts, clearly in relation to her case against him. Luke disregarded Ben’s secretary’s gasp, stating, “You are not permitted in there,” and dismissed her entirely.
It was improbable that Bella required Ben to inform her of his intention to charge her for his time. She ought to be aware of this. He was her attorney. He was intrigued about whether Ben had previously represented her pro bono before she withdrew the charges and chose to remain with him. Subsequently, Ben altered his decision.
Bella appeared discontented; her expression grew increasingly forlorn upon his entrance into the room. He acknowledged, while informing Ben, that he would proceed with the payment immediately. Examined the letter to ascertain the details of his payment. It was an official termination letter accompanied by a contract breach fee.
Even Luke recognised that it was erroneous; the reasons provided were inaccurate. The man was merely irate that she had withdrawn the charges and chosen to remain with him rather than return to Billy and Company; this was his method of retribution.
Enquired whether Ben Billy was incurring financial losses due to her departure, as any clients she had independently acquired would have the option to remain with her or transition to another firm. He may incur significant financial losses due to her departure from the company, although Luke himself was indifferent.
Until that individual made a direct personal remark regarding his fidelity this time.
Maddis, who had remained uninvolved until this moment, internally resented that remark but refrained from expressing it. Luke retrieved his phone and opened the file containing all of Vera’s injuries.
The images he had displayed to Nina remained on his phone. The incident has now been documented in the pack’s database, accompanied by an extensive report detailing Abbey’s involvement. A permanent blemish on her reputation.
He placed the phone directly in front of Ben to reveal the reason for Bella’s departure and the severity of Vera’s injuries, which would require weeks for a human to heal. Vera required merely a few days for complete recovery, however Ben remained unaware of this fact.
Ben had personally assaulted him, a complete affront to his and his wolf’s character, prompting Luke to reciprocate.
He alone jeopardised the man’s work ethic and the company’s reputation. The dismissal letter included Ben’s signature, and then proposed to put Bella against him and his company; he doubted the man would appreciate that at all. Would recognise her exceptional qualities.
Subsequently reciprocated, the financial remark. Luke was acutely aware of Ben Billy’s value and was unequivocally convinced that the man was cognisant of Luke’s net worth in the human realm. It was evident that it significantly surpassed Ben’s and his law firm’s capabilities.
“Was that requisite?” Bella enquired, her tone indicating dissatisfaction with his interference and threats.
“Yes,” he informed her, although it was, in fact, unnecessary. He merely sought to retaliate against that man for the personal affront directed at him. Had Ben not taken that action, he would likely have escorted Bella out of the man’s office, settled the bills, and concluded the matter.
