Suddenly, she realized that she had eaten rather sloppily and was embarrassed by her lack of manners. She smiled shyly at the man sitting next to her, who simply looked at her with a gentle and understanding expression.

He knew that Bella was not trying to be rude, and found her unruly eating habits to be endearing rather than offensive. The two of them laughed together, the moment turning from awkward to lighthearted.

She was eager to change the subject. "Did you get the medicine?"Ethan who noticed not anything, nodded and handed her the bag."Thank you." She said, smiling genuinely as she collected the bag. "You're very welcome," Ethan replied, noticing the gratitude in her voice."You can sit down," Bella offered, gesturing to the sofa. Ethan took a seat and felt the tension in the air.

He didn't even notice how exhausted he was, and his assistant Parker looked absolutely dead on his feet."Get me Guevara's file, Parker," Michael barked, his voice harsh with frustration. Parker stifled a yawn as he handed the file over, his eyes heavy with fatigue."Give Mr. Gilbert a call," Michael said firmly. "Tell him that the company needs him to be ready for an upcoming attack. And make sure he knows that he has to follow our instructions." Assistant Parker nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Do you need me to add anything else?"Michael asked.Assistant Parker nodded, but then his eyes widened as he realized what he had just agreed to. He looked up at the clock and saw that it was 2 a.m. "Uh, boss," he stammered. "It's 2 o'clock in the morning, sir," he said. "Mr. Gilbert is probably asleep. Should I really wake him up?""Yes, Parker, and make it snappy," Michael snapped. "Or do you want

She couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed by her own behavior. "I... I heard that car. Who's driving it now?" she asked, trying to break the tension."I knew you wouldn't come out of your room unless I left, so I called my assistant, Parker, to come and take my car away," Michael said, his voice cold.

    "Yes Mandy, your girlfriend." she said."What has Mandy got to do with our issues, Bella?" He said, his eyes reddened."Oh! Me? I didn't say it has any issue. The problem is you and you alone." She spat."Don't tell me you are jealous?" He smirked, walking towards her in heavy steps and she also took the same steps back."I am not jealous. Why would I be jealous of that girl, Michael. She is your lover after all-" she hasn't finished when he sighed in frustration."Don't say the word 'lover', because I don't have anything as such." He spat, untying his tie in anger. "I heard you went home, why didn't you tell me that grandma told us to come?" He asked."I don't expect you to know, because you were with your lover.""Bella." He yelled in frustration. Why are you making a bug deal out of this? Remember we are divorcing in the next three months. Don't catch feelings okay."
