Chapter 381
Vincent led Bella and Ada to the lounge backstage, where the trio enjoyed a glass of
champagne and talked.
After a long chat, Ada’s agent called her to attend an important
interview.
With her gone, Vincent and Bella were the only ones left in the lounge.
“I haven’t seen you in three years. How have you been doing, Alexa?”
Vincent looked at her tenderly, his eyes reflecting the affection of a mentor. There was
nothing romantic between them.
“As you can see, nothing has changed much.” Bella spread her arms apart and smiled
relaxedly.
“You have matured a lot in the last three years. I can see it in your eyes. Where have you
gone? Did you find inspiration all around the world?” Noticing the crease etched between
her brows, Vincent asked
worriedly.
“I didn’t travel. I’ve been to the farmer’s market and back for t years. The passion’s long
gone.” Bella sighed with sadness in
eyes.
“You’re funny as always.”

Vincent clinked glasses with her and asked with a smile, “When are
you planning to reveal that you’re Alexa? It’s a shame to hide that
dazzling side of you.”

With the show beginning, Vincent left the lounge with Bella.
The pair had not gotten far when a husky voice was heard.
“Bella.”
Bella’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked back with a frown.
Justin walked toward her against the light with a long face.
The man gave Vincent a dirty look as he drew close, and Vincent got the hint. He chuckled
and asked Bella, “Is he a friend of yours, Ms.
Thompson?”
“A friend? As if.” Bella sneered, but she was bewildered.
Justin was a proud and aloof man, a stark contrast to the outgoing Ryan. Thus, Justin was
never keen on attending such events.
It was unlike him to attend a jewelry show.

Ha. Bella believed it probably had to do with his foolish, mean, and clingy little admirer.
Justin strode toward them, his eyes fixated on Bella.
“Ms. Thompson, aren’t you going to introduce me to this man here?”
“I doubt that’s necessary, Mr. Salvador. The Salvador Corporation
doesn’t dabble in jewelry. I don’t think you and Mr. Anderson mingle in
the same social circle.” Bella declined indifferently, reluctant to waste.
pleasantries on him.
Justin pursed his lips.
Despite the setback, Justin did not back down. Instead, he courteously extended his hand
to Vincent.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Anderson.”
“Likewise, Mr. Salvador. I didn’t think you knew Ms. Thompson.”
Vincent shook his hand with composure.
“I guess you aren’t close with Ms. Thompson.” Justin narrowed his eyes dangerously. “If
you two were close, you would know who I am to Ms. Thompson.”
Vincent furrowed his brows, feeling the strong grip from the man’s
handshake.
The pair put their muscle power into the handclasp.
Justin had no idea what had gotten into himself. He was not the
immature and restless type.
