Ada's interview was very successful. She already signed the contract and was going to work in sales department. Plus, the personnel department gave her a key of an apartment that she could move in.
Her good treatment caused the suspicions. One employee guessed, "I heard that she signed the contract without an interview."
"What? What's her background? She definitely pulled strings."
"I just went to the personnel department. She lived in the company's apartment. Only managers can live there."
"Looks like she's got backing. We shouldn't offend her."
On the first working day, Ada noticed that she was different from others. Many people were talking about her behind her back probably because she got a job and an apartment. Others envied her.
Filled with a sense of vanity, Ada tilted her chin. Power was tempting. She became a celebrity in the company due to Ben's care. If she could be his girlfriend, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wanted?
"Ada, are your father in the management? You've got special temperament. Your clothes are so beautiful." Ada was surrounded by gossiping women at lunch break. They were curious about her background.
Ada kept low—key and pretended to be modest, "Please don't make fun of me. I don't have background."
"You must be kidding."
"Agreed. If you were from an ordinary family, how could you you work in an important department and get manager—level treatment?"
Ada had just found out that only managers could live in company's apartment. She didn't expect that a new employee like her could have such treatment. Ben really liked Bella. He gave Ada so many benefits just because she's Bella's friend.
The thought made Ada more irritated.
Rosia also heard about Bella holding hands with a man in the garden. She sneered. Bella was indeed a social butterfly. She just moved out and then went shopping with the man hand in hand.
To Rosia, the news was good. She was thinking how to deal with Bella. If her reputation was ruined, Beck would definitely be disappointed in her. Rosia suddenly had a vicious idea.
Bella returned home in the evening and saw that Ada had already back. She bought a lot of delicious food.
"Bella, you're back." Ada greeted with a smile.
"How was everything?" Bella asked with concern.
"Pretty well. It's all because of William's help. Bella, I want to invite him to lunch tomorrow. Can you ask him? Just a restaurant next to the company." Ada said enthusiastically.
"Alright, I'll ask him." Bella didn't know her true intention.
However, Ada had her own schemes. She would meet many colleagues at noon. If they saw her having lunch with Ben, what would gossips be?
She had to let people know that she had relationship with Ben. Perhaps Ben would pay more attention to her if he heard rumors.
Bella was still worried about Susan's return. Dad was getting married at the end of the month, and there were only ten days left. Could she accept it?
Ben said good night to her via message. Bella replied with a smiley emoji and said that Ada wanted to treat him tomorrow.
"Will you be there? If you are there, I'll go." Ben replied.
Bella chuckled when she saw his reply. She felt that she was being valued.
At noon the following day, Ada booked a table in a restaurant not far from the company. Bella rushed to the place after class. They were very eye—catching because of their attractive appearance.
