Chapter 400
Bella’s POV:
I didn’t expect my studio’s first order to be obtained through Linda.
And two clients came at the same time.
This was a great help for me. I was very grateful to her.
About a week later, I completed these two projects. The client was very satisfied.
I also reported the result to Linda. Linda was very happy. “Oh, Bella, I knew you could do it.” “You really want to do a good job. I can see your serious attitude.” “I’m willing to introduce new customers to you.”
Linda’s words gave me more confidence.
Although the projects were not very big, they were very suitable for our current stage. They could help me earn profit. More importantly, I could make a reputation in the industry as soon as possible.
That morning, I was working hard. Joey knocked on my office door, and then she poked her head in. In a low voice, she said, “Bella, someone came to see you. That person said he was sent by Mr. Wharton’s special assistant Connor.”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help frowning. Herbert had gone to New York. Why would he send someone here? What was the point of sending people here? I couldn’t guess the purpose of this person for the time being. “Let him in.” As I spoke, I sorted out the documents on the table. Then, as soon as I saw Joey’s invitation gesture, a young man in a gray suit came in from behind. “Mrs. Stepanek, hello! This is my business card. I was asked by Connor to come here.” The man handed over a business card with both hands.
After taking over the business card, I found out that this person was called Kalkesma. He was the manager of a branch of the company under Wharton Group When I saw the information on his business card, I already roughly figured out why he came to me. I smiled and greeted him. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Kesma.”
“Miss Stepanek, I came today…” Kalkesma was about to say something.
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, I interrupted him. “Mr. Kesma, our abilities are very limited. As you can see, there are only five people. Thus, we can’t take on the business of the Wharton Group for the time being. If there’s nothing else, you can leave!” After that, I put the business card in my hand in front of Kalkesma. A look of surprise appeared on Kalkesma’s face.

Afterwards, Kalkesma laughed and said, “Connor ordered me to come here, and we’re just a branch of the Wharton group. That’s why we don’t have much to do. Your company will definitely be able to accomplish it.”
Although Kalkesma came to me as a client, he looked at me as if he was looking at the boss.
Why was it like this?
He didn’t fear me not did he respect me.
It was Herbert, the president of the Wharton Group.
I was a little impatient, and I didn’t want to talk to him anymore. “I said I wouldn’t receive any business from the Wharton Group. Joey, send the guest out!” Kalkesma turned to look at Joey, and then looked at me. He said helplessly. “Miss Stepanek, if you refuse me, I can’t explain myself when I go back!”
I didn’t answer him.
The silence made the atmosphere a little awkward.
In the end, Kalkesma was sent away by Joey
Although I knew that Herbert and Connor was being kind, I couldn’t accept his help anymore.
The reason why I started my business was that I wanted to be independent.
I didn’t want to be a woman attached to Herbert
If all the important projects of starting a business came from Herbert, what confidence would I have to say that I wanted to be independent in the future?
And now, something had happened between us.
I couldn’t rely on him. I couldn’t accept his help.
If we quarreled or broke up and accepted the benefits from him, it would make me lose confidence.
Then, I laughed. “Do we want to make a company with our own strength, or do we want to become a branch under the Wharton Group in the future?” “Of course we have to rely on our strength… to make a company” At this time, Joey nodded. “Oh, I see. So we can’t accept the kindness of Herbert in the future, can we?”
