Chapter 385
After hearing from Vincent that Ada had left the show early, Bella rushed to the basement
parking lot with Steven.
Ada sat in the MPV with a scowl.
As the car door began to slide shut, a hand gripped the edge, preventing it from closing.
“I know you must be furious to see the post on Twitter, Ada. I’m livid too because the
photos were leaked. KS Group has been kept in the
dark about everything.”
Bella was out of breath and sweating from running.
Ada smiled pretentiously at Bella. She had been in the acting
business for over thirty years, so she was an expert at controlling her expressions and
emotions.
Without throwing a fit, Ada said indifferently, “We have a deal, Ms. Thompson. I know that
you might not be aware of the leak. I trust that you are a woman of principle, Ms.
Thompson. Or Vincent won’t speak highly of you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSteven’s eyes lit up because he believed all was not lost yet.
Well, Steven and Bella were in for a rude awakening.
“But you can’t deny that KS World Hotel has a serious concern about security measures,
and that’s your responsibility as the general manager. The design of the wedding setup
was leaked this time.
Next, it might be the client’s personal information. KS World Hotel’s
management issue is the cause of today’s incident. Don’t you think so, Ms. Thompson?”
Fuck. Things turned ugly quickly, and the woman did not hesitate to dump them.
Flushed in the face, Steven was dying to stand up for Bella.
He could take the insults and even a beating, but he could not stand others questioning
and challenging Bella. It pained him to see the woman he watched growing up get hurt.
Bella raised her arm to stop Steven. Composing herself, shel graciously admitted her fault.
“My apologies, Ms. Wang. It was our negligence that resulted in the leak of the wedding
setup photos. As the general manager of the
hotel, I am at fault.”
“Ms. Bella…” Seeing red, Steven clenched his fists.
“You are better than most managers for acknowledging your mistake, Ms. Thompson, but
it’s a fact that the contract has been breached. Regardless, the terms have been violated,
so I will end my
collaboration with KS Group as dictated in the contract. Otherwise
see no point in having a contract in the first place. I’m sure you’d
agree.”
Ada smiled and gave her agent a look to close the door.
“Please wait, Ms. Wang.”
Bella took a box from Steven and handed it to Ada humbly. “I
understand your choice to cancel our partnership. Although we can’t work together, I
believe we’re still friends. I have made the dessert
you love, so I just want to deliver it to you.”
Ada glanced at the box without taking it. She said, “Thank you for
your kindness. When we have a chance to work together again, I’ll accept your gift.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBella gritted her teeth as the MPV drove away.
“Ada insulted you by not accepting the gift. That was mean!” Steven was furious, but
there was nothing he could do about it.
KS World Hotel was at fault to begin with.
“I can understand why she did what she did. She wasn’t insulting me. She didn’t have a
reason to accept my gift since the deal was off. With her wedding drawing close, I’m sure
she’s restless after what happened. She has to look for another hotel now.”
Bella drew a deep breath to calm herself. “Even though Ada isn’t collaborating with us
anymore, I’m not over the matter. The priority. now is to find the person who did this to
me. Let’s not forget about- the mole hiding among us.”
“A mole?”
Widening his eyes in disbelief, Steven murmured, “Are you suspecting one of us? I thought
Bethany was behind this.”
“Sure, Bethany started it, but without help from the mole, she couldn’t
possibly have succeeded. We should start vetting from inside our
organization.”
