Bride of Mr.Billion

Chapter 387

Bella‘s POV:

I went to work on Monday.

When I walked into the office, I found several female colleagues discussing in low voices.

They kept quiet when I approached them. They just looked at me and smiled.

I really didn‘t know what happened.

I entered the office and quietly looked out from the blinds. I found that they were still whispering

something. Unfortunately, I could only see their expressions, but could not hear what they were saying.

Ring... Ring... Suddenly, the intercom on the desk rang. I quickly reached out and took it. “Hello, Group

Six.”

Then came a sweet female voice. “Manager Mrs. Stepanek, I am the secretary of the general manager.

The general manager invites you to his office immediately.” Hearing these words all of a sudden, I was

stunned.

The general manager invited me? I was just a small department manager, who was several levels

away from the general manager. There were Linda and the deputy general manager in between. It was

Linda who informed me of any important things. I had not even seen the deputy general manager many

times. This time, the general manager asked to see me. Was there anything

important?

Although I was nervous and curious, I didn‘t dare to neglect it. I quickly got up and walked out of my

office to the general manager‘s office.

Knock knock...

There was no response.

I was about to reach out and knock again, but the door was suddenly opened from the inside!

My hand almost hit the general manager‘s face, and I was so scared that I quickly withdrew my hand.

This was too embarrassing. For fear of being criticized, I quickly lowered my head. “I‘m sorry, I‘m sorry.

I didn‘t expect that you will open the door personally!” However, the general manager was very gentle.

“Bella, please come in!” I looked up at the general manager and walked in. I thought to myself, “Is the

general manager in a good mood today? I heard that his wife is pregnant. Is he happy because of

this?” “Sit down! Sit down!” The general manager with wrinkles on his face smiled and the wrinkles on

his face deepened. He motioned for me to sit down. I didn‘t dare to say anything and could only sit on

the guest sofa. Later, the general manager made a cup of tea and put it in front of me. “Thank you,

general manager.” I stood up in a hurry and thanked him.

Looking down at the tea in front of me, I felt that something was wrong today. The general manager

usually pulled a long face. Sometimes, he would curse when he was anxious. Why was he so weird

today?

I subconsciously gathered my legs. I was wearing a black professional dress today. I immediately had a

bad idea.

The general manager’s reputation was not very good. “Is he trying to do something to me?” I suddenly

felt a little nervous. But it‘s not that big of a deal. There were many other women in the company who

were younger and prettier than me.

How could he take a fancy to me? “Does the general manager like a mature woman? Does he want to

change his taste?” Just when I was in a complicated mood, the general manager suddenly spoke.

“Bella, I didn‘t expect you to be Mr. Wharton‘s wife. Oh dear, it‘s our company‘s honor that you‘re

working here.” “I was just...” I wanted to say that I was just his ex–wife. But before I could finish my

words, I was interrupted by the general manager again. “I, I‘m really sorry. I didn‘t know your identity. I

made you suffer a lot in the company a while ago. I don‘t have the face to see Mr. Guan again. When

you go back, you must put in a good word for me and let him continue to take care of our company!”

Hearing this, I quickly said, “General manager, in fact, I am just Herbert‘s ex–wife now.” The general

manager, however, said, “I know that you are divorced, but you are about to get married again. In

addition, you are the mother of the two children of Mr. Wharton. Mr. Wharton cares about you a lot.

Aren‘t you living in Mr. Wharton‘s house now?” “Bella, I‘ve already informed the HR department to

double up your salary from this month. Besides, I‘m going to give you a promotion next month. How

about letting you be the vice general manager of Qihang Company?” Hearing this, I was so scared that

I immediately stood up. I waved my hand and said, “General . manager, I don‘t want to be promoted.

You don‘t have to raise my salary too. I just want to continue this job. I really don‘t have any other

ideas!” Oh god! How could this be? He wanted me to be the vice general manager directly? Even

Linda, who had been in Qihang Company for so many years, didn‘t want to be the vice president. Now

he wanted me to directly cross the ranks and he was going to double up my salary? Now I got almost

3000 dollars a month. If he doubled it up, wouldn‘t it be 6000 dollars a month? At this time, the general

manager patted me on the shoulder and comforted me, “I know you are a very capable person. Our

company needs talents like you. Go back and get ready. I will arrange for you to be the vice general

manager next month.” After coming out of the general manager‘s officie, my mood was very

complicated. Before I could return to my office, Linda stopped me in the corridor.

“Bella?”

I heard someone calling me. I looked up while I was immersed in my own thoughts. Suddenly, I saw

Linda staring at me with a pair of complicated eyes.

I nodded hastily. “Linda... What can I do for you?” “Come to my office.” After that, Linda turned and

entered her office. I didn‘t understand, so I followed Linda into the office.

“Close the door.” Linda walked to the window, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and said with her

back to me.

I obediently turned around and closed the door. Then I looked at Linda‘s back and felt that there was

something wrong with the atmosphere. Linda should not be very happy.

I immediately thought, “Has the general manager told Linda that he wanted to promote me?” It was no

wonder. Linda had worked in Qihang Company for many years, and now she was just a business

director. It was indeed a little unacceptable for her if I became her boss all of a sudden. Moreover, I got

the promotion because of my relationship with Herbert, but she had a crush on him.

“Linda, are you looking for me... for something?” I looked at Linda‘s back and asked.

The next moment, Linda turned around, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and said in an

unfriendly tone, “Bella, should I congratulate you on your promotion? Vice general manager?” Hearing

this, I was stunned. I thought, “It seems that the general manager has already communicated with

Linda. It‘s no wonder that Linda is unhappy.” “Did the general manager tell you?” I asked. Linda

sneered. “Who else has the right except the general manager?”

“I...” I was about to say something.

Linda interrupted me. “The man I like is your ex–husband. I have worked hard for many years for my

career, but there is no room for me to rise because of your presence.”
