Chapter 417
The project team members regained hope after the last meeting. They were filled with motivation once again.
Bella was a great influencer, captivating her employees with her charms to become her fans.
Today, Bella had a cheerful briefing with the team.
She said, “Ada has agreed to meet with me tonight. I’m not going to get ahead of myself on the outcome, but this is the first step
in the right direction.”-
The team members cheered.
Only Henry sat at the farthest end of the table. Despite his smiling face, he was not the least bit happy.
“We breached the contract, but I believe Ada is the type to
understand. I’m confident that my proposal is more impressive than the Salvadors’. Once she takes a look at it, she will be more
satisfied than she was with the first proposal,” Bella said with a confident smile.
“Show us, Ms. Thompson!”
“I want to show you, but after the last incident, I have to be careful. It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just troubled times. There are
too many eyes on the outside watching us.
“As the general manager of KS World Hotel, I can’t allow us to fall for the same trick twice. I hope you can understand.”
Understanding where Bella was coming from, the group expressed. their hope for Bella’s triumphant return. They rubbed their
palms, waiting to get their hands on the job,
That evening, Bella dined at a restaurant while Steven sorted out
paperwork in her office.
Once that was done, Steven dialed a number and left the office.
The moment he walked out of the office, Henry slipped right in.
Security was not tight tonight, so he managed to get into Bella’s -private space.
He knew that his every move would be captured by the cameras all around, but he had to do it anyway because he was running
out of time.
If he could not get the new proposal tonight, Bella might just close the deal with Ada again, and his girlfriend would not get her
revenge.
Henry was blinded by love and caught up in his feelings for Xena.
He wanted to give her everything she wanted. Heck, he was willing to be a criminal for her.
Henry used the torch function on his phone as he carefully and
swiftly searched around Bella’s office.
He was confident that the proposal was in the office.
Bella had not left the hotel, and Steven did not take his bag with him,
so the proposal must not be with either of them.
He quickly rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, breaking out.
in a cold sweat from anxiety.
Finally, he pulled out the proposal at the bottom of the pile of
documents.
“This is it. Yes!”
Henry gripped the file, hot with emotions. He mumbled to himself, “I
can help you get vengeance, Xena. I can finally help you!”
Click!
The office’s light suddenly came on.
Steven barged in with a few bodyguards and encircled Henry.
Henry was dumbfounded to be surrounded by a human barricade. He froze in awkwardness but refused to put down the
proposal.
He knew that he would be discovered sooner or later.
It just never crossed his mind that it would be so soon.
The security team formed two rows to give way.
Dressed in a sleek black suit, Bella rocked her black stilettos with red bottoms. Her gaze was intense when she strutted into the
office.
Her commanding presence rivaled that of a chief commander.
Henry shuddered at the sight of Bella. He would be lying if he said he was not afraid.
“Do you know that commercial theft is classified as stealing? You can rot in jail and lose everything you own just by holding those
few
pieces of paper.”
Steven scowled, his eyes flickering coldly. “It’s less than three years. imprisonment and possibly a fine for causing massive loss
for selling trade secrets. For more severe cases, you can get 3 to 10 years of jail time.”
