Ezekiel was standing at his office's glass wall, staring out at the entire metropolis of New York, his hands in his pockets, and he kept checking his watch.
He didn't turn his head to look behind her as he heard the door open and the sound of a stiletto approaching him; instead, he questioned her, "What took you so long?"
The person behind him did not respond and instead offered him a loving back embrace, which startled him; he bowed his head to gaze at the woman's hands.
He heard a hard tap on the door, “Mr. Kiel --” he was surprised to hear the familiar voice of a lady, he immediately looked back to ascertain whether that lady was Bella.
Bella was ashamed to see the lady hugging him, and he even caught her seeing the two. “I'm sorry, Mr. Kiel,” she murmured, turning around and covering her face with her hands.
“Get lost!!!” She heard him yelled, Bella quickly leaves the doorway of Mr. Kiel’s office and strolls around, she burst out into laughter when she remembered how horrible his expression was when she caught him.
“Hi, Bella!” Kevin greeted her as soon as he saw her, she looks at him, smiles, and greet him back.
“How are you feeling today?” he inquired.
“I'm - I'm really happy,” she answered happily, “that's good! You have no idea how worried Mr. Kiel was when you passed out, and he even takes you out of the firm with his arms,” he tells her as he sighs in relief.
“Do you mean that he cares for me?” Bella asked him, he nods at her. A lady come to them and handed a file to Kevin, “here are the files that you needed,” she said.
“Thank you, Angeline!” Kevin bid goodbye to the two ladies, Bella started to wonder why he would be concerned about her safety; he had even despised her from the beginning.
She regained her composure when Angeline informed her, “you are lucky that you captured Mr. Kiel’s heart.”
She gives her a surprised look and laughs, “captured his heart?! I’m telling you, Miss, that man hated me to death,” she replied as she pointed in the direction of Kiel’s office.
She giggles at Bella, saying, "you never know what his true feelings for you are." Luke walks by together with the lady that hugs Kiel, she glances at them and flirtatiously waves.
When Luke passed them on their way, he remarked, "Ms. Chen, Mr. Kiel is waiting for you in the office."
Bella gave Angeline an uncertain look, “you should go. Your Mr. Wright is waiting for his Mrs. Wright,” she jokingly said.
Bella was surprised and asked, “Mr. Wright?”
Angeline bit her lips and answered nervously to mislead her, “Yes, he’s the right one for you and --- I think you’re a match made in heaven.”
“How can you conclude he's THE RIGHT ONE FOR ME?” She responded, emphasizing the word "right."
“Because you're the only lady he carries in his arms, and I can tell he's sincere,” she told her that day while daydreaming.
Bella did not respond to her instead she gave her an uneasy grin and bid goodbye, Angeline touches her chest and eventually sighs when she successfully misleads her.
Bella knock on the door of Mr. Kiel’s office and come in, she saw him sitting on his swivel chair, his eyes were focused on the files placed on top of his table, and didn’t utter anything when she comes.
She grins from ear to ear and remains standing facing him, Ezekiel was curious why she’s not saying anything, he slowly raised his head to see her, he got angry upon seeing her tease grin.
“Why are you still standing there?!” he shouted at her, “get me a cup of coffee!” he ordered her.
She was annoyed when he yelled at her, “you shouldn’t drink too much coffee, it might harm you,” she reminds him.
He smiled and asked her, “are you showing affection for me?”
She chuckles sarcastically saying, “sir, if you die in front of me while sipping the coffee I made for you, your staff might charge or accuse me of murdering you so it’s not good for my reputation.”
He felt his blood boil when she said that, “you don’t have to worry about my death, get out of my office and do your work!” he shouted at her.
Bella exits his office, giggling at his outlandish reaction, and heads to the cupboard to prepare his coffee. As she walks out of their boss's office, everyone in the design Department notices her dazzling grin.
The Designing Department is across from Mr. Wright's office, so they know who comes and goes. The wall is likewise constructed of glass, but Mr. Kiel's wall has Venetian blinds, which he started covering when Bella started working for him.
“She’s lucky to have him,” the staff said, “I beg to disagree! Mr. Kiel is lucky to have her!” James stated, everyone in the department stares at him and says, “what are you doing in here? You’re from the engineering department.”
“I’m waiting for Angeline!” he exclaimed, “she’s out, Mr. Wright’s gave him a new project.”
“I will wait for her here,” he said and occupies Angeline’s swivel chair.
“Wait till Mr. Kiel found you here, let’s see how long you can wait here,” Mr. Ian – the head manager concluded.
“Attention! All of you prepare your designs. Mr. Kiel will start the meeting within 5 minutes,” Mr. Ian added. James quickly stands up and runs out of their office.
“Scaredy cat,” Clarisse uttered as she looks at James, and everyone in their department agrees.
When Bella entered Mr. Kiel's office with a cup of coffee, someone said, "I suppose our meeting will be moved to the afternoon."
When they heard it, it appears that the clock stopped ticking, and they silently observed their boss's office.
Mr. Wright was busy examining the paperwork as Bella placed the cup of coffee on top of the table. He grabbed the cup, sipped it, then replaced it on the table, saying, "Change it." “Too much sugar,” he grumbles.
The personnel in the design department keeps an eye on Bella as he moves back and forth in his office.
Bella lost her patience and placed the coffee on his table, certain that he would not ask for more after tasting it.
Mr. Wright sipped the coffee and burst it after tasting it, violently asking, "Why does it taste salty?!"
“Oh, Mr. Kiel, I apologized. I used up all of the sugar when you asked me to alter it several times, and I'm worried you'll be upset if I don't bring you your coffee so I put some salt in it.” She pretended to be depressed.
He shook his head and glared furiously at her. Bella was overjoyed that she was able to defeat him every time he tried to make her suffer.
“Next time, I will not let you win Bella; I guarantee you will fall into my trap,” he promised himself.

The meeting began in the afternoon and was held in the confession. Bella was a bystander at the doorway, waiting for the meeting to end, but Mr. Wright asked his staff to let her in. As Bella walked into the room firmly, everyone in it was admiring her outstanding beauty. “Would you want a cup of coffee, Sir?” She gives him a kind grin. “No,” he coldly refused her offer, and she grins and stands by his side. “Ms. Chen, you may sit next to me,” he offers, though she wants to deny him, she knows when to tease him and when not, so she obeys his command. The meeting has consumed a long time while everyone was presenting their designs Bella was drowsy, her eyes are slowly shutting, she tries to fight from it but she fails. Ezekiel notices B
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 h
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. He glances at the woman to confirm if it was Bella and he found out that she is, he didn’t doubt what is she doing in the company of La Bella. “What happened to her?” he worriedly asks Amanda, “I don’t know sir, she suddenly fainted. About the dis --” “Let’s talk about that later,” he said, when carries Bella in his arms everyone gave him a confused look. He turned around carrying Bella but Amanda stops him, “wait, sir, how about… Ms. Chen?” she asks uncertainly pointing at the President of La Bella Fashion Threads Co., he glances at Bella’s face while smiling, “don’t worry, I know her. You c
“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
