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 Bella’s head was about to fall on the table, he placed his hand near her and catches her head. The speakers came to a halt since the designers were all staring at them, but Mr. Wright motioned them to continue. Mr. Wright places her head carefully on the table to not wake her.
Bella awoke five minutes later due to a loud tension in the room. She raised her head to see what was going on, her eyes widening when she discovered she had slept during the meeting; she glanced at Mr. Wright, who was seated next to her while everyone was arguing, and she embarrassedly smiled as he scowled at her.
She averted her gaze and listened to what was going on around her. She started up, but Mr. Wright's hand gripped her arm and said, "What are you planning to do?"
“I want to assist them to solve the problem,” she said firmly without looking at him.
“You will just embarrass yourself. How can a business graduate like you know about architectural designing?” he mocks her which made her face him.
“How did you know that I have a degree in business?” she doubted him, “I have my assistant to check your background,” he replied.
“So, you didn't even trust me from the beginning,” she concluded, “I'm only trying to explain that you can't be an ace at each area you go,” he replied.
“Did I say that I trusted you?” he questioned her.
Bella didn’t like to argue with him though Mr. Wright was a bit harsh to her, she just ignored him, she remarked, “just wait and you’ll see.” He let go of her hand and let her do what she’d like to do though he wants to annoy her he doesn’t like her to embarrass herself to everybody.
Mr. Wright was sitting quietly while watching them organize their designs, “this one should be changed into these,” he saw Bella pointing the draft.
After a few minutes, they already finished the task and inform their boss about it.
“Sir, we solve the problem with the help of your --- secretary,” Ian told him.
He nods and says, "The meeting has been adjourned; please leave your plate on the table and I will check on it."
Because of Ezekiel's solemn demeanor, everyone left the room with trepidation.
Mr. Wright was quiet while looking at Bella in the conference room, and Bella couldn't bear him, so she broke the silence. “Did I offend you in any way, sir?” she questioned.
“No, but it appears you intend to tarnish my company's reputation,” he remarked coldly.
Bella became enraged at his claim and said, "why would I do that?"
“Revenge,” he said as he rose and walked closer to her. “You're taking vengeance on me,” he replied emotionlessly.
“Why would I do that to your business? Sir, haven't you noticed that I always win between our fights, therefore I don't need to do that?” she giggles, looking him in the eyes.
“And I never lose to anyone,” she taunted as he took a step closer to her and moved his face very near to her face. Bella took a step back as he moved closer to her till she was cornered on the wall, “I will make you lose this time, Bella,” his velvet voice murmured on her ears which made her shiver.
When he brings his face extremely near to her and they feel each other breathe, her heart rate rises. “What—what are you trying to accomplish?” she stammers.
“I'm just trying to tease you,” he says with a grin. He left her astonished and returned to his office with the plate of his designers.
Bella rubs her chest and sighs deeply, “this man is driving me crazy,” she says quietly.
Luke waited at the doorway for Mr. Wright and greeted him as soon as he walked out. He was concerned as to why he was sweating and irritated, so he inquired, "Sir, did someone forget to turn on the air conditioner at the conference?"
He looked at his assistant and handed him the blueprints; he returned to his office and sat in his swivel chair.
Luke entered his office and placed the blueprints on his desk; Mr. Wright picked it up and checked the designs one by one, finding no errors. He placed the drawings in the folders and opened his computer to verify his fiancée's data.
“Have you discovered any new information on Bella Chen aka Chen Xiu Ying?” he inquired.
“That is all I know about her, Sir. Why did you inquire so abruptly?” He was curious.
“I have a sense there's something she's keeping hidden,” he concludes.
“I don't think she's concealing anything; why are you interested in her?” he questions.
“I'm not interested in her; I'm simply wondering why she knows about architectural design,” he explained gently.
“Sir, even though you deny it, I know a part of your heart cares for her; you simply don't want to accept it.” He makes an honest remark.
Mr. Wright's attention was drawn to Bella and the design department as they became noisy in the corridor. "Ms. Chen, this man is seeking for you," Clarisse said as the man approached Bella.
When the guy hugs his fiancée, Mr. Wright feels a squeeze in his heart, he locks his hands into a fist, and Luke speaks abruptly as he sees Mr. Wright's response after watching the scene.
“If you know it's yours, Mr. Wright, you have to fight for it. Don't let your uncertainty lead you to regret anything,” he says.
Clarisse went to the CEO's office to notify him that Bella and the man had already departed. When he learned the news from Clarisse, he became enraged.

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
“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." PERVERT!!!” The women in the office rise up and fold their arms, staring at Zachary.“Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hello, hey. Do your work, Mr. Kiel is on his way,” Ian tells them.Mr. Kiel promptly does as he says, going to the de
