Bella wrapped up a nylon and threw it into the trash bin in her office.Her phone chimed and she hissed after checking the message.Selena's return to the company had eased her headache of dealing with the two dimwits she had employed as bodyguards.She picked up her bag and walked out of her office hastily.Getting into her car,she checked her face in the mirror.To her dismay she looked so pale and quite malnourished.Bella hastily dabbed on some moisturizer on her face and painted her lips more bolder.Getting to the restaurant,she met Bernard seated there with her mother whose battered face was hidden with sunglasses.She felt her anger rise from the pit of her stomach but she sat herself down opposite them.“Do corporate workers not keep to time too?” Bernard said sarcastically, pouring himself alcohol.“I had my hands full today”, Bella responded swiftly.“Bella”, her mother called out her name and held her hand lovingly.“I am okay mum”, she responded.Bernard ignored their mot
