Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

chapter-173

However, as soon as Bella took a step forward, she heard Hanson’s cold voice once again. “I said to get out!” This time, the voice sounded even more nonchalant than before as his eyes were filled with indifference and strong murderous intent.

Frightened by the man’s voice, Bella found herself in a dilemma without a clear indication of whether she should continue stepping forward or back away. Therefore, she pitifully looked at Hanson in a tearful manner, trying to play on the man’s sympathy, but ironically, Hanson had no tolerance for women with hypocrisy like her.

Because of that, her pretense backfired by making the man hate her even more instead of pitying her. For the next few moments, Bella awkwardly stood in place without knowing what she should do next, but Hanson wouldn’t even bother to lay his eyes on her.

Does this lady not understand what I just said? Why is she still standing here? Damn, her perfume is disgusting! More importantly, she just ruined my beautiful moment with Vania, and I haven’t taught her a lesson about that. At the thought of that, Hanson responded meanly by showing the lady the door. “Can’t you understand me?! Get out of my face now!” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

In that instant, Bella finally caught on to Hanson’s meaning after the man put his words more directly. Considering herself the most popular girl back in her school, she was always surrounded by countless admirers. Thus, she felt utterly embarrassed to hear Hanson’s heartless rejection, especially in front of Vania.

The next second, tears began to roll down her cheeks as she tried to explain herself, saying, “Mr. Luke, you chose me as your spokesperson, and I have been waiting for this chance to thank you for that. I got worried when I learned that you fell ill, so I’ve come to visit. If you’re mad at me because of that, I hereby apologize to you. Please forgive me, Mr. Luke. I’m sorry.” Bella bowed down to Hanson repeatedly upon finishing her words.

Annoyed by the lady’s lengthy explanation, Hanson squinted sinisterly and asked, “How did you learn that I fell ill?”

Stunned by the man’s unexpected question, Bella didn’t expect Hanson to ask her that question as she was instantly rendered speechless. After all, she didn’t think it was sensible to tell Hanson that she had overheard Larry talking over the phone by the stairs.

“What’s wrong? A cat got your tongue?” Hanson asked.

Upon meeting Hanson’s menacing gaze, Bella decided to come clean as she bit her lips and said, “I overheard Mr. Clark talking over the phone earlier and took the liberty to visit you here.” When she noticed Hanson’s angry expression, she immediately explained herself again. She said, “Mr. Luke, I was just too worried about you, so please don’t be mad at me. I’m sorry I made a mistake, and I promise there will be no next time.”

“From now on, you’re no longer the spokesperson for Fantasy Daydream Jewelry,” replied Hanson as he chuckled coldly.

What?! As soon as Bella heard that decision, her eyes were left wide open in horror. Refusing to believe her ears, she sympathetically begged Hanson to give her a chance. “Please, Mr. Luke. Please don’t do this to me! I’ve learned from my mistake this time. I promise that I’m going to give my best and strive for improvement. Please don’t lay me off! This job is far too important for me!”

Then, she turned her attention to Vania, hoping the latter could help her when she noticed her presence. “Help me, Vania! Please! Didn’t we say that we’re going to be friends? This job is very important for me, and I’m counting on it to be a big star. Please say something to Mr. Luke for me. Please!”

While Bella, who wouldn’t stop begging Vania, was about to kneel, Hanson rang the bell and summoned his bodyguards before she could do anything further. When the guards came in and

stood in a row, they politely asked, “What can we do for you, Mr. Luke?” In the face of such an intimidating formation, Hanson gave his order by gesturing to his men with a commanding look.
