Chapter 103
Bella’s POV
For some reason, Herbert and Caroline had a quarrel, and then they left in advance.
The party was about to end.
Klein and I were about to leave as well.
While saying goodbye, Mrs. Reina tugged at my hand and said, “Miss Stepanek, thank you for your
help.”
“Mrs. Reina, it’s my honor.” I said with a smile.
“You are like me when I was young. I hope we can meet next time.” said Mrs. Reina.
“We will.” I nodded.
Although I said so, I knew in my heart that there was a big difference between my identity and Mrs.
Reina’s. She and I were not from the same world. I probably wouldn’t have a chance to see her again in
the future.
Mrs. Reina was not as arrogant as some noble ladies. On the contrary, she was very kind and
respectable. After sending me home, at the entrance of the estate, Klein insisted on getting out of the car
and sending me to the door. “There’s no need to send me off. I can go back myself.” I refused Klein’s
offer. Klein continued to send me into the community. Laughing, he said, “This sort of old community is
very unsafe at night. You should be careful.” “Thank you.” I didn’t continue to refuse. Although this
building was in the center of the city, it was indeed old, but the rent was cheap. In order to save money, I

chose this place. The biggest advantage was it was very close to the company. In order to cover the
living expenses of my mother and sister, although my salary was not low, I needed to save some money.
After we reached the corridor, I turned around and smiled. “I’m here!”
Klein stood there, reaching out to stroke the back of his head. He didn’t seem to be preparing to
leave.
He looked up at the sky. “The moon is so beautiful today.” I looked up at the moon and suddenly felt that
the atmosphere was a little strange. I suddenly felt a little cold, so I wrapped my arms around my
shoulders. After all, I was wearing a strapless dress tonight. Klein hurriedly took off his suit, wanting to
put it on for me. I took a step back and rejected him. “Mr. Wharton, I think your jacket can only be worn
on your girlfriend. It’s not suitable for me to wear it.” I was reminding him on purpose that he already had
a girlfriend. He should keep a distance from me.
Klein withdrew his hand and pulled his suit into his arms. He said, “Actually…”
Before Klein could finish speaking, I interrupted him. “I was rash for what had happened.”
“I went to deliver medicine to you in the evening, and I was drenched in the rain. I didn’t have a car to go
home, so I could only take a shower at your house and put on your shirt temporarily. In fact, I should be
glad that the person I met last time was Herbert, not your girlfriend”
“Herbert and I have divorced. Even if there is a misunderstanding, it doesn’t matter. But if your girlfriend
misunderstands our relationship, it will be very terrible. Not only will it affect your relationship, but it will
also affect my reputation, right?”
“Right.” Klein lowered his eyes and nodded.
“Sometimes, when I do things, I don’t have to think too much. In the future, I’ll have to use my brain more
often. Otherwise, not only will I hurt others, I’ll also hurt myself.” I could already sense that Klein had a
rather good impression of me.
So I had to clarify our relationship at this time.
Klein was a smart person. He should be able to understand.
Klein looked in the direction of the stairs and said, “It’s getting late. Go upstairs. I’ll leave when I see you
turn on the lights.” “No, hurry up and go home.” I refused.
But Klein frowned and said, “Bella, this is just an ordinary friend and your Boss’s concern for your safety.
There’s no other meaning. Don’t think too much about it.”
“Okay.” I nodded and walked into the corridor.
It was dark in the old corridor, and the only light on the corridor was also unusually dark. Especially when
I came back a little later, I was still a little scared
I finally reached the third floor. Then I took out the key and opened the door. I reached out and pressed
the light, and the room was immediately lit up.
Treached out and wanted to close the door, but I suddenly saw a black shadow standing outside. I was
frightened.
It was a man’s shadow, very tall and big. Some very horrible images flashed through my mind at once,
such as robbers and rapists?
I immediately ran into the room and reached out to close the door. But it was too late. The black shadow
grabbed the door and stepped in!
Only at this time did I see the face of the person outside clearly. It turned out to be Herbert. The fear in
my heart dissipated, followed by anger. I deliberately used a lot of strength to close the door, but even if
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmy body was leaning against the door, I couldn’t drive that huge body out. The next moment, Herbert
squeezed in.
I couldn’t stop him. I took two steps back in my high heels and looked at him with alert eyes and asked,
“What on earth do you want to do?” Herbert closed the door with a flip of his hand. He stared at me with
a pair of dark eyes and said in a low voice, “I just want to see you.”
Comnared with his ugly expression at the party, he looked much better at the moment, and his eyes
17:08 became softer. But didn’t he already buy a brooch that represented his true love for other woman?
Why did he come looking for me! I said bluntly, “I can call the police and ask them to take you away!”
Herbert didn’t care at all. He didn’t answer me, but looked around my room. I followed his gaze and
looked at the house where I lived. A glass door separated the large house into a small bedroom and a
living room. With a small kitchen and bathroom, it was small, but enough for living. It was enough for me
to live here alone. At most, I could live here for one or two nights. It was not crowded. The most
important thing was that it was close to the company and the rent was cheap. The small room was clean
and warm. The white embroidered curtains, the square bed sheets, the beige fabric sofa, and the two
pots of beautiful Devil’s ivy hung on the wardrobe. In overall, I was very satisfied with this small home.
At this time, he stepped into the bedroom, walked to the window, and pulled down the two white curtains.
I looked away and warned him, “If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the police!” As I spoke, I took out my
mobile phone and called the police. However, as soon as I dialed the number, my phone was snatched
away by a big hand. “Give it back to me!” I reached out to grab my phone. However, one of his big hands
was wrapped around my waist, and the other was held up. Wearing high heels, I couldn’t get my cell
phone even if I stood on tiptoe. “Hurry up and return my phone to me. Do you hear me?” I shouted
angrily. But he looked down at me with a smirk on his face. Only then did I realize that I was already in
his arms. Therefore, in the next moment, the fight for the phone turned into a struggle to break free from
his arms.
