Chapter 1046
“He thinks he can just have whatever he wants?! On what grounds?”
Justin clenched his fists as the words hit too close to home.
“Without you, the Salvador Corporation would not be where it is. You’ve worked so hard for the company to the extent that your body was almost at its limits. You even risked your life to inspect the projects personally! We’ve only begun to savor the fruits of our labor, but now he’s trying to take it away from you?! Just because Chairman Gregory supports him doesn’t mean anything. With Old Master Nigel’s support, we have everything we need! Chairman Gregory still has to heed his father’s advice.”
“Father and son? Are we playing tongue twisters now?” Bella’s sweet and charming voice suddenly rang out as she joined them in the room.
Justin’s expression sank as he gestured for lan to remain silent, and,
then he forced a smile.
She entered the room with a tray carrying two cups of tea. “What are you guys talking about? lan seems quite worked up.”
Justin replied, “Nothing much. He gets worked up about the smallest thing. He’s young and full of energy.”
He got up right away to welcome her, taking the tray from Bella’s hands and asking with a deep voice, “Why all the formality? Treating me as if I’m a guest, huh?”
“I was just worried you’d chat endlessly and get thirsty.” Bella shrugged helplessly, smiling faintly.
“A kiss can quench thirst better than water.”
His gaze turned intense as he kissed Bella passionately as if no one else was around, expressing deep affection through his eyes.
lan blushed and quickly looked away, not daring to watch the intimate
scene.
Bella’s heart raced like a frightened deer. When Justin tried to kiss her again, she gently pushed him away and said, “I came here to discuss
serious matters. Can you focus?”
“Bella, you’re just too tempting,” he replied.
Justin held back his emotions with a hint of redness in his eyes. ” Being around you makes it hard for me to be serious.”
Bella avoided looking into his eyes again out of fear that she might get lost in their warm and affectionate gaze.
