No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Chapter 1814 An Advice

Bella glanced at Gareth, whose face was darkened, and understood how the coldness came about. She quickly put down the documents and turned to leave the room. Before leaving, she put in a word for Gareth.

Poking her head around the door, Bella blinked at Elisa and said, "By the way, Gareth brought me lunch too, and it's delicious. Thanks, Gareth. Although I know it's all thanks to Ms. Benett." With that, she closed the door and left.

Elisa seldom saw the usually composed Bella acting so playful, and she couldn't help chuckling.

Gareth's mood brightened because of Bella's remark, thinking he hadn't looked after this cousin for nothing. The atmosphere in the office became much more relaxed.

On the other hand, Bella bumped into the project director as soon as she left the office, and her face fell immediately.

It seemed like she was here to hand in a proposal. Bella was almost certain she was going to compete for her client.

Rochelle was on the same side as Paul, who had always wanted to kick Bella out of the company. She was Bella's immediate superior and had received orders to make things difficult for Bella ever since she joined the company. Not only did she constantly pick on her, but she even planned to snatch her client this time, which was completely intolerable!

Bella reached out her hand to stop Rochelle, who was swaying her hips as she walked. The latter turned to look at Bella disdainfully.

"Ms. Matterson, I advise you not to go in right now. This is my advice to you as a subordinate." Bella urged sincerely, but Rochelle refused to listen all the more.

She smirked. "Do you think I'm dumb? You just came out of the office, and you're now telling me not to go in? Bella Wickam, I admit you're somewhat capable, but landing this client doesn't mean you have the capability to execute the entire project. We should give Ms. Benett more choices, shouldn't we?"

Rochelle was so smug that her saliva spat on Bella's face as she babbled.

Bella couldn't take it anymore, so she wiped her face expressionlessly and interrupted Rochelle. Then, she stepped aside to make way for Rochelle.

Rochelle was puffed up and strode toward the office in her high heels.

Five minutes later, Rochelle came out of the room crying. When she walked past Bella, she caught sight of Bella's gloating expression and shot a fierce glare at her.

Bella shrugged innocently. I've warned you not to go in just now, but you refused to listen. I'm Gareth's cousin, yet I was not spared from disturbing Ms. Benett during lunch. What an ignorant woman!

Meanwhile, in the office, Elisa did a facepalm in exasperation. She understood Gareth could be harsh with his words but couldn't figure out why Rochelle, a project director, would run out crying after being told off as if she was acting coquettish.

"This project director doesn't seem to be up to par. Did she get hired by connections?" Gareth taunted with an unconcealable contempt on his face while cutting fruits for Elisa. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Rochelle didn't even have a sense of good judgment, which made Gareth wonder how she became a project director.
