No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Chapter 1836 A Trap

Elisa realized Gareth had framed her, but she didn't want to embarrass him in front of others. She let it slide for now, but she swore he would regret it if he tried it again!

The following day at work, she felt a bit down.

When Bella came over and handed over the contract, there was a smirk at the corner of her mouth.

Elisa knew Bella had gotten the wrong idea. Still, she had no energy to correct her and let it be.

Once the contract was signed, Elisa offered, "Do you want me to go with you? This time feels different; the other party seems well-prepared. I'm concerned about your safety."

Bella picked up the contract with a grin.

"We're in a country that operates by rules and regulations. They can't just whisk me away. Believe me, if they're geared up, so am I. I know the drill. Oh, by the way, those dark circles make you look like a panda."

"With you in this state, I might have to clone myself to care for you if things go south."

Elisa jokingly scolded, "You little prankster!"

Bella smiled and got ready to head out.

Elisa's tone turned serious, reminding Bella to stay alert and summoning her bodyguards to ensure her safety.

Bella nodded solemnly, "I'll be back in one piece. Don't worry."

Elisa waved cheerfully in her direction. She couldn't help but notice that Bella had been unusually bright and mischievous lately.

Stepping out of the president's office, Bella let out a sigh.

Just earlier, she had deliberately donned an air of indifference and confidence to shield Elisa from worry.

Even if Elisa were prepared and upbeat today, Bella wouldn't let her be part of this. This meeting was a wildcard, and Bella wouldn't expose Elisa to any risks.

As for herself...

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Bella drove to the agreed-upon location, accompanied by the trio of sturdy bodyguards provided by Elisa.

An hour earlier, Bella had received the location and timing from the other party. The place itself sent a twinge of unease through her; she felt something terrible might go down.

The location was a resort on the outskirts, quite a trek from the city center. The other party's explanation was that the boss was unwinding here. Evidently, this big shot knew how to revel in luxury and leisure.

It took Bella a little over two hours to reach the resort. When she finally pulled in, it was ten past six in

the evening, leaving just twenty minutes until the scheduled meetup at six thirty.

Upon her arrival, a waiter approached her with a friendly greeting. "Are you Ms. Wickam? Please follow me."

Bella trailed the waiter's lead, flanked by the trio of burly bodyguards, and stepped into a secluded chamber.

However, the other party hadn't shown up yet.

Deciding it would be inhospitable and give off a hostile vibe to have her entourage join her, Bella had the three bodyguards wait outside the private room. It seemed more diplomatic and tactful to proceed solo.

Taking in the ambiance of the chamber, Bella deduced that it was the big boss's personal space adorned with classical decor and valuable antiques.

A display cabinet caught her attention, housing jade bracelets, including a glass similar to Elisa's taste. Bella reached for her phone to snap a picture and send it to her friend. Surprisingly, her phone had no signal.

Bella was surprised by this unexpected realization. Before she could dwell on it, someone stepped into the chamber.

Bella turned to face the newcomer, and their eyes met. Startled by the recognition, she stumbled slightly in her high heels.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
