Scott said, "It wasn't hard to get your number. I even know that you're working at Page Corporation now. Do you know who I am now?""Yes," replied Belle. "Hey, that's weird. When I told you my name, you didn't know who I was. But when I mentioned Robert, you made the connection right away."You not only know him, but you also know who his friends are. Why are you so invested in Robert? Did you fall for him?"If you fell for him, just tell me. I'm quite close to him. I can help you court him."Belle was speechless. She wondered what was wrong with this guy.She remembered Robert because she felt that he looked like someone she knew in the past. It had nothing to do with whether she liked him or not.Also, she didn't like how Scott called her his "sister".For Robert's sake, Belle didn't end the call right away. Instead, she redirected the conversation back on track."Do you have something to talk to me about?"Scott wasn't mad that Belle ignored him after everything he had sa
Dissatisfied, Grayson reprimanded, "Why are you talking to your superior like this? How rude!"His tone was fierce, but it didn't deal any damage at all. Anyone could figure out that he wasn't truly mad. But when he saw the buttons on Belle's shirt, he got upset for real. "Why haven't you fastened your button?""That's none of your business!"Grayson had a foul look on his face. He immediately put on his arrogant air. "You're a lady, so you shouldn't leave any buttons unfastened! Button up right now!""No!""Do you want me to do it for you, then?""You …" Belle was baffled. "Everyone else wears it like this. Why are they allowed to do it but not me?""They're a different story. I'm talking about you!"Belle couldn't understand it at all. Pausing for a moment, she said, "Why do you care so much about my button, anyway? Did it offend you somehow?"Grayson pursed his lips. "Women have to be modest. They should have some self-respect!""I just left the top button unfastened on
"Grayson, I'm telling you one last time. Be more careful in the company, and keep your distance from me. Don't ask for me for no reason!" reminded Belle. With that, Belle left.Grayson's expression was foul.Sam didn't know what had happened. When he entered, he saw that Grayson had already put on his coat.Sam said, "Mr. Page, we've made arrangements with the restaurant. You can head there right now.""I'm not going anymore!" With that, Grayson tossed his coat at Sam. Fuming, he lit a cigarette and stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows.Sam was speechless. He had no idea what was going on this time.Grayson looked quite happy when he asked to make restaurant reservations just now.Belle must have provoked him again.Sam couldn't understand it. Grayson didn't like Belle and would get pissed every time they met. Despite that, he took the initiative to talk to her. Sam felt like he must be some kind of a masochist.Sam didn't dare say or ask anything. After hanging the coat on
Ginger's eyes turned as wide as saucers when she heard Scott calling Grayson by name. He even tried to get Belle to change jobs.Ginger had already determined Scott's identity by now.Because she had confirmed who he was, she was so scared that she dared not say a word.Belle secretly rolled her eyes at Scott. She asked, "Why exactly are you looking for me?"Scott stuffed the flowers and some takeout boxes into Belle's hands."I wanted to treat you to a meal, but you're not free, so I bought some takeout for you. Try it. I promise it's even nicer than the food in Grayson's cafeteria."Belle didn't want to accept it. But Scott said, "I've already eaten. If you don't want it, I can only throw it away. It'd be such a waste, right? How shameful."With that, Scott didn't even give Belle time to react. Opening the car door, he got into the car. He flashed a charming smile at Belle, then left casually.Belle was speechless.Scott had just left when Ginger hastily went over to Belle.
There was a cafeteria at Page Corporation. The employees usually had their lunch there.After Belle and Ginger arrived at the cafeteria, Belle took the flowers to the bathroom. She placed them on the basin as decoration.She thought that it was much better than throwing the flowers away.Then, she found an empty spot with Ginger and sat down. She opened the takeout boxes one by one.A delicious smell wafted out of the boxes. The food smelled delicious.When Ginger caught sight of the logo printed on the takeout boxes, she froze. She was scared stiff.Belle asked, "What's the matter?"Ginger said, "It's from Dynasty Delicacies!""And what about it?"Ginger's hands were trembling. "It's a restaurant where a bowl of soup costs 100 dollars, and bread costs 90 dollars! Ordering breakfast alone would cost you hundreds of dollars!"When Belle heard that, her eyes widened as well. She didn't dare imagine how much the food in front of her cost. They filled the whole table, after all.
Because of the incident with Scott, the two ignored each other when they arrived home. They didn't even speak a word to each other.The next day, when Belle clocked in, she realized that she had been transferred to the front desk."Transfer" was a nicer way to put it. In less decent terms, she was demoted to the front desk.Working in the secretarial department should be much better than at the front desk.Without a doubt, Grayson was behind this.Belle didn't mind it at all. She felt that working at the front desk was much better than being in the secretarial department.She would get the same pay, and she would be working further away from Grayson. This was a better deal.When Ginger saw Belle appearing in front of her in the secretary's work attire, she was shocked."Belle, why are you at the front desk?"Belle said, "The secretarial department doesn't suit me. The higher-ups transferred me to the front desk."Ginger was speechless.Henrietta was surprised when she saw Be
Scott quickly said, "Come on, let's eat out."From his easygoing tone, Belle could see that he didn't take Grayson's warning to heart.Belle was about to decline when Scott said, "Robert is here too. He came here mainly to treat you to a meal. "While it's true that he came here to treat you, he also wanted to talk to you about Patrick's illness."Belle couldn't decline it this time. So, she had no choice but to agree.After hanging up, Belle told Ginger, "I can't have lunch with you later. I have to go out for some business.""Alright. Don't forget, we resume work at 1:30 pm.""Okay."As soon as Belle walked out of Page Tower, she saw Scott and Robert.Scott's outfit was high-profile, as always.In comparison, Robert was much more modest. He wore a well-tailored dark suit. His expression was slightly gloomy, and he looked like a successful and upright man.Spotting Belle, Scott greeted her enthusiastically. "Hey, sister!"Belle rolled her eyes at him.Robert glared at him
Sam didn't know what Grayson was trying to do. Lunch break had started a long while ago, but Grayson still hadn't gone for lunch. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you hungry, Mr. Page?"Grayson frowned, but he didn't say anything.Sam asked again, "Should I get some food delivered for you?"Grayson frowned again. Unable to bear it anymore, he asked, "Where's Belle?"Sam was stunned for a moment. "I-I have no idea."Grayson was upset. "Tell her to come here!"Sam fell silent.He ran out, but he quickly returned after a while. He said, "Mr. Page, Ms. Walters isn't at the company.""She's not at the company? Where did she go?""I heard a receptionist say someone was looking for her, so she went out.""Who was looking for her?""I don't know.""Don't you even bother to find out if you don't know? Go and figure it out!" Grayson roared."Yes, sir." Sam hastily nodded. Then, he called someone and told them to locate Belle's whereabouts.He soon received information. Belle was h
