Mr. Wright has been staring blankly at the hallway in which he saw Bella and the man had met, he stood up from his chair and lean his body on the table. He is clueless why he felt pain in his chest and why he got angry he saw Bella was hugged by a stranger.
“Sir, your mom is here,” Luke informed him, he looks at the door to check his mom without emotion, and Anastasia step inside his office.
“What brought you here?” he said with a lazy tone, she held her son’s arm and pull him to sit on the couch.
“Can’t I pay a visit to my son?” she asked him back and chuckles as they sat on the soft couch.
He crosses his leg and faces his mother seriously, “what is exactly do you want? He boldly stated.
Mrs. Anastasia Wright laughed and placed her hand carefully on his son's hand, asking, "What can you say about Bella?" Is she lovely, talented, and kind —-?
Ezekiel stopped his mother's comments short and asked angrily, "Why do you want me to marry her if you don't even know who she is?"
Mrs. Wright looked at his son's face and said, "my son, I know her, and you know her better."
Ezekiel scowled and rose, addressing his mother furiously, "mom! I don't even know who she is.”
“You'll remember her... By the way, where is she?” she wonders.
“She left earlier with a man,” he informed her lazily. Mrs. Wright was shocked and inquired, “do you know who she's with?”
“I should have mentioned his name if I knew him,” he cynically responded, and she became enraged at his son's response, furiously walking through him.
“Listen, my brat son, you should bring her back and marry her as soon as possible, whether you like it or not!!!” She instructed him and then walked away.
When he felt the searing heat on his hand, he clenched his fist and hit the wall with considerable force. His thoughts and emotions are puzzled as a hot liquid slowly flows through his fingers and drips on the floor; it was the first time he felt an unsure sensation.

It was cool nighttime as Bella and Jon were wandering along the streets, the establishments were all closed, and the moon was shining brightly, providing them with light.
Ron Welling is Bella’s cousin, their mother is a sibling and was born in New York; They are close to each other and treated as brother and sister.
“Bella, when did you plan to meet your mom? She’s really worried about you.” He told her.
“I don’t know… Maybe if--- they decided to cancel our marriage with the son of Wright, I will plan to meet them,” she explains.
“Where do you stay right now?” he inquired, Bella was hesitant to answer for she doesn’t want any of her family members to know where she is.
A ring from her phone disturb their conversation, she fished out her phone out of her bag and check who’s calling, she was surprised that she received a lot of missed calls from Kiel and this time Luke was calling her; She’s anxious about what does he needs from her in this time.
“Ron, it’s already late. You can leave now,” she told her cousin.
“What about you?” he is concerned to her.
“Don’t worry about me, I can go home on my own,” she said while waving her hand at him, she answered her phone and place it on her ear.
“Finally, you answered the call,” she heard him sigh out of relief.
“Why does Mr. Kiel kept calling me and what does he need to me this time?” She angrily complains at him.
“Mr. Kiel is sick,” she heard him say, she’s irritated when he informed her about his condition.
“Does it concern me?” she said. As far as I recall, I am only his temporary secretary, not his full-time employee, and I am not even a member of his family, therefore you are not required to—-” Luke interrupted her speech and told her, "That's why I'm telling you this is because you're the reason why he was brought to the hospital," he said.
When she heard it, she felt conflicted: "what did I do to him?" She remembers him drinking a lot of coffee all day because he was being picky.
“I'm not sure, but you're the only one who's looking after him and bringing him food,” he says. “Oh, no!” “Which hospital did you bring him to?” she said, concerned.
“He's now resting at home; he doesn't enjoy staying in the hospital,” he explained.
“He simply wants me to take care of him and make my life miserable,” she murmurs.
“What exactly did you say? I'm sorry, I didn't catch it,” Luke was curious.
When she heard Luke's voice, she became uncomfortable and immediately responded, "I - I said that... In ten minutes, I'll be there.”
She ended the call and quickly call a cab to go to Mr. Kiel’s place. After a minute of drive, she reached the address of Kiel.
She runs through the corridor until she reaches the flat of him, she saw Luke was standing outside, he’s walking back to forth and he smiles when he saw her coming.
“This way Ms. Chen,” he leads the way to her and opens the door, she follows him.
Bella got worried when she saw Kiel lying on his bed and his body was shaking, she faces Luke, “what’s happening to him?” she asks.
“He has a fever,” he says, “but I don't believe it's a simple fever,” she says as she feels his forehead.
“Have you checked his temperature?” she questioned Luke after feeling an extremely hot spot on his head.
“Yes, but he was Fine earlier,” he responded, and Bella instructed him to bring cold water and a towel, which he did.
She pointed the infrared thermometer at his forehead, she was worried when she discovered that his temperature was 41 degrees. When Luke placed the basin on top of the table, she rapidly soaked and squeezed the towel, wiping it on his face, arms, and torso, then repeating the process until his temperature subsided.
Luke informs Bella that he must return home since his family awaits him; she nods and volunteers to care for Kiel.
She sat on the corner of his bed, holding the medicine, trying to wake him up, but he's still asleep, and he keeps calling her name; he automatically braced his arms.
"Kiel, Kiel?" She yelled, scared to death, as he touched his forehead again and felt hot. She has no choice except to put the medicine in her mouth, fill it with water, and transfer it to his mouth. She succeeds in feeding the medication to him.
She eventually sighs in relief as his fever lowers, and while sleeping, she stares at his calm face, thinking, "If only you could be pleasant all the time like you are right now, I could fall for you, but thankfully you aren't." I know you're still the man you used to be when you get up.” she muttered.

He felt the cold air that surrounds the room, his heavy eyes are slowly opening, his sight was blurry at first until he moves his eyeballs till it gets clearer. He felt his someone’s hand is holding his hand, he moves his head to check who it was. An angelic square face of a lady with a deep eye set, raised nose, thin red lips are in a deep sleep, her head is placed on the corner of his bed which face her head to him while sitting. He smiled upon seeing her in a deep sleep, he shakes his head and stops himself from fantasizing about her; he asks himself, “what is she doing here?” He disgustedly pulled his hands away from him, he suddenly thought of an idea to irritate her. He texted Luke to come early to his home, and when his assistant came he ordered him to do so
Mr. Wright was five feet away from "Ms. Chen!" Amanda shouted as she passed out; when he heard the screams crying out Bella's surname, he raced into their direction and helped Bella not fall; he wrapped his arms over her shoulder and lean her against his body.

“Where do you think you’re going, Bella?” she heard a conceited voice of a man behind her, she slowly turns her head at the back and was angered to see him. She dauntlessly faces him and thinks like she doesn’t know where she’s heading before she answered then questioned herself, “home?” “You can’t do that,” he replied authoritatively; she was confused and complained, “why???” “Because you still have lots of work to do,” he states, she chuckles after hearing a lame reason, “my memory is sharper than the edge of a knife and I can still remember that I submit a letter for a five days leave,” she proudly informs him. He asks Luke to give him the paper and when Mr. Wright is handing it, he shows the paper to her. She saw the letter she submits has a red stamp stating,
“If you wouldn’t get sick because of me, I will not serve you like how I’m doing to you,” he whispers and left the office.After Mr. Wright leaves the office, Rosie runs to the office of the CEO to talk to ask Miss Chen for help with the design but when she peeked in the office she saw her lying on the couch so she went back to their department office.Angeline looks at Rosie when she came back to the office after a second she left, “I thought you will ask for help from Miss Chen?”“That’s right! But I can’t do that today,” she giggles insanely as she sat on her swivel chair.“What’s wrong with her?” Clarisse asks her desk mate who is focused on his work, “I don’t know,” she respond
She stayed in the restroom for about ten minutes, she splashes her face with water again and dries it with a tissue. She retouches her face but she can’t hide her swollen eyes, she took a deep breath and calm herself; When she left the restroom, she was startled to see Kiel leaning on the wall and looks like he’s waiting for someone.She ignored him and pass by him, “what took you so long?” she heard him say but she didn’t reply back but he grabs her arm and pulled her, “I’m talking to you,” he hissed.“I don’t want to talk to you,” she spelled out, she shakes her arm but he tightens his grip on her.“What exactly did you do inside?” he tries to look into my eyes but I look away, “did you cry?&r
Zachary was waiting for his elder brother outside of W Design Studio when he noticed a beautiful woman who walked out of his brother's workplace and was standing and waiting for a cab. He glances at his phone and immediately exits his car and walks in the direction of the gorgeous woman who draws him. When the woman glances at him, he says, "Hi," and waves his hands. When Bella saw the familiar face of the man heading towards her, she felt scared and shocked. “Hi! You look familiar, have we met before?” he seductively said, “no,” she replied coldly. “In that case, I'll introduce myself. “My name is Zachary Cyrax Wright,” he began as he extended his hand, but she merely looked at his hand, sarcastically asking, “Do I need to ca
“Did you get the box I sent you?” he said.When Zachqueried Bellaabout the box, all of her coworkers turned to look at him.“Do you mean this box?” she irritably inquired as she handed him the box; he nods when he saw the box, and she fiercely smacks him across the face. They were taken aback when she did it to their boss's brother, and Zach had no idea why she did it to her.“How come you have done it to me?” He complains, and she smirks at him, yelling angrily, "You deserve it."

Do your work, Mr. Kiel is on his way,” Ian tells them.Mr. Kiel promptly does as he says, going to the de
Bella shrieked when she bumps into someone, she thought that a lot about the bad thing that may happen to her, “Miss, are you alright?” she heard the man asks, she looks at the man nervously and looks at him, she finally feels at ease when she saw that the man standing she bumps to is the guard of the building, “yes, I am,” she answered.“Why do you look scared?” he asked, Bella gave him an uncertain smile and said, “I thought that someone’s following me because I heard footsteps but it turns out that it was you.”“I came here because Mr. Kiel asked me to check that light before he left,” the guard chuckled. He pointed to the flickering light in the passageway.“Would you like me to call you a cab?” he asks, &ldquo
