Bella was very sensitive. She immediately perceived his mood swing.
Her lips compressed momentarily before she answered gingerly, "I got some urgent documents which are subject to your approval."
Not daring to say that it was about private matters, she made up an excuse and told them it was about business affairs. Then she handed the basket of fruits to Mckenzie. "I hope you get better soon, Madam. I'm your son's secretary."
"Thank you," Mckenzie took it.
Summer found herself unable to keep her cool. She thought, 'Things have already
come to this, and yet she still has the nerve to pretend?
'Secretary? Ha, who does she think she's kidding?'
"Are you sure you’re his secretary, not his mistress trying to become his wife?" Summer ruthlessly nailed her lie.
Bella's face instantly darkened. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Summer and found that she looked somewhat familiar.
Summer began to walk forward.
Behind Bella was a water dispenser.
Summer casually picked up a glass from the table beside her, walked over, filled it with water and, turning around, deliberately shouldered Bella hard. The latter lost her balance and toppled to the floor.
Bella bumped her knees on the floor. It was summer, and she was wearing a thin dress, and the floor was made of solid marble. Bella felt as if her knees were about to shatter.
Unable to get to her feet, she looked at Charlie with a deeply injured expression on her face.
"How do things usually work in these circumstances in TV series? Oh, I remember. You should just keep that injured and piteous look on your face. It'd be best if you squeeze out some tears.
That's how home wreckers seduce men in all TV series. It's only too obvious I'm bullying you. Tattle on me to him. Go on."
Smiling, Summer squatted down in front of Bella, flicked a few glances at Charlie and then added provocatively, "There is nothing I detest more than double-faced women. What's that line again? Oh,' Bitches are bitches'!"
