บท 3: Stumbled upon a secret meeting

Bella Lim slowed down as she saw the sharp turned ahead. However, if there was a traffic officer, she would still get her 'love letter'.

Suddenly, a cold wind went past her. Instantly, she felt all the hair on her body erect. If she was to choose, she preferred not to use this shortcut because the road was quiet and dark. It was understandable because this road was in between two skyscrapers.

Bella Lim decided to ignore the creepiness that began to take control of her mind. This was the last turned and she only needed to ride for another five minutes before she reached the school. So, she thought, when suddenly two expensive cars stopped not far from where she was. She abruptly braked knowing that the two cars were now blocking her way out.

'Who are these people!' she clenched her fist, angered that her plan was interrupted. She needed to be by the side of her little pumpkin now, or else the headmaster would take the chance to torture him with ridiculous punishment.

Bella Lim planned to press the horn when suddenly a woman and a man came out from the two luxurious cars. Seeing the two people, her instinct told her to turn off the engine of her bike. She remained in the same position for it was the most concealed area.

Even with the lack of lighting, Bella Lim was able to recognize the woman but not the man. All she could see was the man's back as he was standing face to face with the woman.

'Why is Karen Yang here? Who is that man?' Bella Lim thought as she tried to search the existence similar to that man among her memories. There was only one hard truth, the man wasn't Eric Wu!

Bella Lim immediately set her phone on mute. She couldn't afford to make any noise right now. Her instinct told her that the two were up to something no good and she needed to know the reason for her suspicion.

'Little pumpkin hang on!' she thought while at the same time hoping that the time wasted here wouldn't bring trouble to her little brother. She knew even if she wanted to quietly turn around, the two robust bodyguards that stand behind the man would notice her.

"It happened as predicted. That man was seduced by you,"

Bella Lim heard the man spoke. His voice was distant but with great focus, she was able to comprehend what was said. The instant she heard him saying 'that man' her brain spontaneously associated the remark to a certain individual. Hence, she stepped closer so that she could listen clearly.

"More like I seduced his grandpa," Karen Yang sneered. She coyly hit the man's chest. Her eyes were seducing the man in front of her. The man reciprocated by grabbing Karen Yang's hand and kissed the dorsal side.

The exchanged almost caused Bella Lim's eyes to pop out of its sockets. She stared at Karen Yang with her gaze akin to a predator. Sweats began to wet her palm who was itching to slap the woman so that she could awaken her senses.

"He invites me to dine at his house tonight," Karen Yang told the man who was still kissing her hand.

"Really? Is it just the two of you?" the man asked somehow in disbelieved.

"Yes,"

"Are you certain?"

"Hundred percent. His assistant will be there, but we don't have to worry about him. He is one of us now,"

"Good, good girl. We'll carry out our plan tonight. Come here,"

"No, your bodyguards are watching,"

There was a short silence after Karen Yang's last sentence. Bella Lim, who was focused on listening, noticed that the two bodyguards were moving forward. They stopped when they were no longer seen by the man and Karen Yang.

That was when Bella Lim realized that the course of their conversation had shifted to another channel. She looked at the two, only to see Karen Yang on the hood of one of the cars. Her hands were hooked on the man's neck. Bella saw that the man's action was full of lust. He was as wild as the animal during the mating season.

Disgust filled Bella Lim's whole face. If she could, she would kill the two people right at this moment. She was truly enraged by their conversations to the point of crying. Feeling the tears on her cheek, Bella Lim chased it away with the back of her hand.

There was no used to be angry. Right now, she must leave the scene! She wanted to stealthily move back but as Karen Yang's moaned was reaching ecstasy, the two bodyguards also moved further into the darkness. Coincidently, the direction they were heading to was where Bella Lim was hiding.

She knew her chance to leave was gone because the moment she moves, the two stoic men would discover her location.

At that time, Bella Lim could only think of surviving which also the one that forced her to be one with the smelly dirt on the ground. She stayed flat until the place left with only her.

Bella Lim stood up as her eyes scanned her surroundings. After affirming that the expensive cars have left the area, she heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at her wristwatch and realized that it had been an hour since she received the news of her little pumpkin. Without delay, she rode on her bike, moving forward with the school as her destination.

"Little pumpkin I'm coming!" she mumbled as she sped up.

As soon as she reached the school, she ran towards the headmaster's office and noticed that there was a crowd of teachers roaming outside of the office.

"Miss Bella, thank God you're finally here. Let's go inside!" a man in his forty rushed to her and without hesitation pulled her hand towards the office. Bella Lim frowned at the sudden skin contact as she immediately pulled her hand away.

"I can walk by myself," she said as she walked past the man who was stunned at the anger embedded in her voice. Bella Lim ignored him as she dashed forward. She couldn't help it because the incident earlier had planted a seed of deep hatred inside her head.

It was only a matter of time for her to explode! Not literally.
