Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

chapter-182

Bella reached out because she wanted to knock on the door, but she retracted her hand hesitantly after that.

Just then, a man’s laughter rang out behind her. “Are you not going to enter since you’re already here?”

That’s the voice of the man from the phone call! Alerted, Bella quickly turned around as she wanted to know the identity of the man.

However, she was shocked upon seeing his face—it was none other than the manager of Luke Corporation’s advertising department, Hereward.

Bella couldn’t believe that it was Hereward that invited her to meet up.

Nevertheless, her uneasiness and doubt were reduced slightly. After all, she had met this man before.

At least, it was undeniable that this man’s connection was credible considering that he was the manager of Luke Corporation’s advertising department, and it wouldn’t be odd for him to claim that

he could make her famous.

Nevertheless, Bella didn’t say or do anything as she was shocked and didn’t know what to do.

Meanwhile, Hereward was scanning her with a lustful gaze.

He had his fair share of encounters with newbies who just entered the field like her, and he could immediately know what kind of person she was.

Hence, he wasn’t surprised when Bella came because that was already within his prediction.

Right then, she lowered her head awkwardly because of the way Hereward kept staring at her. Meanwhile, the man chuckled and opened the door to the hotel room. “Do you want me to beg you to come in?”

Although she still had the chance to reject this man and was still fearful of what was happening, she didn’t dare to give any excuses and quickly entered the room after nodding.

Just then, Hereward was satisfied by her obedient actions, for he liked obedient women as they were easier to control.

Once the door to the room was closed, only the two of them were left in the dimly-lit room.

At this moment, Bella could hear her own heart beating rapidly as she stood anxiously while waiting for Hereward to instruct her on her next move.

When she noticed that he didn’t say anything but reached out to unbutton the top button on his shirt, her grip on the edge of her dress tightened.

Nevertheless, Hereward didn’t do anything after unbuttoning the top button on his shirt.

Instead, he sat on the couch calmly and looked at Bella patiently while she stood rooted to the ground.

He could understand her reaction because this was her first time doing something like this. “I understand that it’s your first time doing this since you just entered the entertainment field, so it’s unavoidable that you’re nervous.”

Upon hearing that, Bella looked up and glanced at the man to notice that his face was devoid of any emotions, and she couldn’t tell what was going on in his mind.

“However, you’re very smart, and you know how to leech onto an opportunity, unlike those who can’t grasp on their opportunities even when it’s placed directly in front of them.”

Without waiting for Bella’s reaction, Hereward threw a contract on the table. “Here’s a brand endorsement role for Reira. Your job starts at 9.00AM tomorrow.”

Reira was a local cosmetic brand that had garnered much attention in recent years, and it was extremely rare for a newbie in the entertainment field to be able to land an endorsement role for brands like this. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Bella was stunned as she stared at the contract.

Is this contract for me? Just like that?

However, she didn’t dare to reach out for it and only looked at Hereward in confusion while her body trembled nervously.

Right then, Hereward couldn’t tell if she was confused or hesitant. Nevertheless, his face turned cold before he asked coldly, “Your outfit right now is a discounted one from CC. Is this the most expensive outfit that you currently possess?”

Bella lowered her head in embarrassment as what he said was true.

“If you managed to rise among all the other female celebrities in the entertainment field, you’ll be able to wear whatever you want.”

This time, she was tempted.

She wanted to be famous and get all the perks that came along with it. Most importantly, she wanted to be able to get closer to Hanson.
