章節 51: Encounter in a Cafe
At the office of Charles in Harper Group.
"Bella, how do you get the price? It costs even less than we purchase on our own."
Charles looked at the price list as he kept praising Bella did a good job.
Bella wore a gentle smile. She stood beside his father in a proud manner but said nothing.
Looking at this, Charles pointed at her with a grin, "My sweetheart, if I didn't see it with both eyes, I would never believe that! We'll make a good fortune this time!"
Bella turned around and walked in front of Charles. She took over the contract and smiled, staring at Grand Group on the cover.
Charles froze for a while and then nodded.
"Well done. Does the president of Grand Group have a thing for you? You played some honey traps to get the price, didn't you?"
"Honey trap?
Come on! This is easy to get. He even used the honey trap to make me sign the contract.
If it wasn't that he wanted to get even with Steele Group, I'm not sure if my honey trap works," Bella lost in thought.
"Hey, what are you thinking? Are you embarrassed? That's fine. Keep in touch with him. You know countless girls want to be the first lady of Grand Group."
"Even Sophia alone let me feel stressed, let alone the others women.
To be the president's wife of Grand Group, I still have a long way to go," Bella told herself.
"I see. I gotta go," Bella left the office with some displeasure.
Walking out of the office, Bella heard her phone ring. She had a look and found it was from Michael.
"Shall I pick it up or not? If not, I may need him in the future.
If I do, I don't know what I can talk about," Bella was in a dilemma.
She hesitated for a while and answered it.
"Hey, you better have something important to say. Or, I'm hanging up."
"I do have something important to say. How about meeting at that cafe. I'm going to wait for you now, and you can hang up now."
Bella was just about to say something when the phone was hung up.
"Bastard, he was speaking faster than me."
Without going to work today, Amelia slept all morning. She felt much better after getting up, and she wanted to go out for a walk in the afternoon.
She had already eaten the take-out Ethan ordered for her. He couldn't come back to have lunch with her since he had some unexpected work.
Amelia was thinking about who could go out with her while she was putting away the leftover.
"I can't date the old friends. I'm Sophia now. With the new identity, how can I know Amelia's friends?
Bingo. Let me call her!" Amelia thought to herself.
"Amelia, where are we going?"
Aria was excited to get the call. On the one hand, Adrian had finished filming the scene and would be back in time for the evening. On the other hand, she also liked Amelia a lot. She also felt bored alone, so they could hang out together.
"Anywhere you like will do."
"Okay, I'll meet you there."
They came to the amusement park. Aria was a lively girl, who was fond of outdoor activities. And Amelia had few chances to go out, so she could relax a bit.
"Amelia, why don't you ask Ethan to hang out with you?"
"He is tied up with work."
Aria nodded and looked at the carousel next to her. She pulled Amelia and ran over in excitement.
"Amelia, come on."
The two smiled sitting on it. Aria took a lot of pictures and sent a few to Ethan.
"There are boats over there. Let's go boating."
"I'm seasick. I'll wait for you on the shore, and you go ahead."
Aria thought about it. Then she winked at Amelia and smiled slightly.
"Forget it. Let's go get a coffee."
They went to a nearby cafe, which wasn't too crowded. They had just sat down when Amelia noticed a familiar figure.
"It was him? Michael.
This man was once so familiar to me, and he said he would love me for the rest of his life.
But he even helped Bella to frame me up," Amelia lost in her recall.
Thinking of the bad memories, Amelia let out a sigh. She suddenly became serious, and the joyful mood just now was cleared away.
Aria put her things away and looked up at Amelia. Noticing her change in expression, Aria asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Amelia gave Aria a wink, and Aria glanced at Michael, who was anxiously watching the clock and looking out the door. It was obvious that he was waiting for someone in a hurry.
"You know him?"
"Amelia knows him. Sophia doesn't."
Aria was stunned for a moment, and then she blinked and nodded.
"Try not to let him spot us later. I wonder who he's waiting for?"
Amelia glanced at Michael from time to time and lowered her head to remind Aria.
Aria thought about it and took Amelia to the restroom.
"What are you doing?" Amelia looked at her curiously.
Aria took out her makeup box and shook it in front of Amelia's eyes, "You know when Adrian does the filming, makeup can help him disguise."
"What, disguise?"
"Just make a little change for you. You put on my big glasses later. It can cover half of the face. As long as you don't speak, he won't find you."
Amelia froze for a moment. Maybe she could see who Michael was waiting for and what they would talk about. She could even learn something from it. So Amelia nodded to Aria.
Aria was skilled at makeup, and Amelia soon looked very different. She was just a little ugly compared to her original look.
Thinking about the purpose, it was no big deal. Putting on the big glasses, which really covered half of the face, Amelia then put on Aria's jacket. Now she really looked different.
"Woah, I didn't think the make-up technique Adrian taught me when I visited the studio last time could come in handy. Now even if Ethan stood in front of you, he wouldn't recognize you.
Amelia looked at herself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction, with a trace of weirdness flashing in her eyes.
"Michael, it depends on your luck. You better not talk about some bad deals," Amelia murmured to herself.
The two came out of the restroom, and they happened to see Bella walk in and sit next to Michael.
Amelia clenched her fingers. Although she had another identity, and now with makeup, she was still nervous.
Aria took her hand and slowly returned to their seats. They began to sip their coffee.
Separated by two seats, they were still able to hear what Bella and Michael were chatting clearly.
"Ms. Harper, you're finally here."
"Just tell me what are you gonna say. Don't beat around the bush."
Bella looked impatient. She glanced at Michael and gently had a sip of coffee.
"Well, let's come to the point. Please help Steele Group consume some environmental building materials. The price is negotiable."
