"Mr. William, this is my friend Ada. Next time you come here, you can find her. She works here." Bella introduced with a smile.
Ben's gaze was slightly cold, and he only let out a hum.
Ada was a little nervous. There was obscure sentiment hidden in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Mr. William, nice to meet you. If you need anything in the bar, just let me know."
"I may not come here anymore, thank you." His words immediately soured the atmosphere. Bella and Ada looked at each other and saw the awkwardness on each other's faces. Ben turned around and walked towards the car. Ignoring Bella, he directly started the car and drove away.
Bella looked at Ada embarrassedly, "Ada, actually, I do not know him very well. Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry. He really has a personality. By the way, what's his name?" Ada was not like Bella, who had just stepped into society. She had already worked for two years. If she knew his name, she would have a better way to get close to this man.
"Ben William." Bella whispered.
"What? He … he is Ben William?" Ada's face was full of shock. Bella looked at her strangely, "Yes. Do you know him?"
"How could I know him? I have only heard of his name." Ada was still unable to calm herself. She had heard of him more than once. Ever since the man came to the city, he had managed to control most of the new districts. Her clients chatted about this young, fierce and ruthless man for several times. He had sound judgment. All his investment would bring him fame and fortune. More importantly, it was said that he came from a wealthy family and was sent to this second—tier city by his father as a punishment. Of course, it could be that his father wanted him to gain some experience. Fighting in this city for a few years, he finally reached where he was now.
"Oh, I hadn't heard of his name before I met him. Is he very famous?" Bella was ashamed of her ignorance. In the past, she devoted all her energy to maintaining her parents' relationship. She used her birthday to gather them together; she would plead her father to come back for dinner; she even harmed herself so that her father could accompany her, which allowed her mother to see him. As for what happened outside her family, Bella really didn't have time to inquire.
"Yeah, he's quite famous. Bella, you don't have a crush on him, do you?" Ada asked boldly.
"I don't." Bella immediately denied and her face instantly flushed red, "Seeing my parents' relationship ended up in this way, I don't want a boyfriend at all."
"Really? Such a handsome and wealthy man and you are not tempted? I don't believe it." Ada intentionally provoked Bella in order to know her true feelings.
Bella lowered her head and laughed, "Ada, I'll treat you to lunch. What do you want to eat?"
Ada thought that Bella would deny firmly, however, she changed the topic.
It seemed that Bella was not as stupid as she imagined. Shifting the topic evidenced that Bella was attracted by Ben.
Yet she couldn't be the only one.
A cunning light flashed in Ada's eyes . If she could get to know a man like Ben William, she wouldn't need to work in a bar anymore. Being his wife would spare her all the troubles for the rest of her life.
"Alright, let's have a big meal." Ada smiled and said.
The two girls came to the bustling city center. Bella had grown up a lot after last night's experience. She suddenly understood that although her parents broke up, they still protected her well until she grew up.
