Chapter 97
Bella’s POV
This afternoon, when it was about time to get off work, Klein called me to his office.
“Boss, are you looking for me?” I stood in front of Klein’s desk and asked.
Ever since the incident last time, I had secretly gotten along with Klein like a friend. At work, we were still boss and subordinate.
Klein raised his head. “I want to ask you for a favor. Do you have time today?” “I’m fine tonight. What can I do for you?” I asked. Klein had helped me a lot. If he needed my help, I would do my best to help him. “Do you know Mr. Reina of the QT Group?” Klein said.
I thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Reina is enthusiastic about charity and has helped with the construction of many remote schools. I heard that he is the most supported candidate as the next governor.”
Klein said, “Today is the fortieth wedding anniversary of Mr. Reina and his wife. His children are holding a party for them. I’ve received an invitation as well, but I’ve don’t have a female companion, so I want to ask for your help.”
I didn’t expect this to be something which Klein needed my help with.
I was a little hesitant. Did he really not have a girlfriend?
It wasn’t that I had other thoughts towards Klein, but rather that I didn’t want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings.
If Klein’s girlfriend knew that he was taking me to a party, she would definitely be angry
But if Klein had a girlfriend, why would he invite me to the party?
Klein suddenly said, “Right. You should first discuss this with your husband. I was negligent.”
Limmediately said, “I don’t need to discuss it with anyone. I don’t have a husband.”
Klein was clearly stunned, and then he said, “But…you already have a child?”
I had no choice but to say honestly, “I’m divorced. My child… died when he was born.” I tried my best to look calm, but when I thought of the child, I couldn’t help but feel sad. Klein said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I…I really don’t know.” “It doesn’t matter. Those things have passed.” I tried my best to smile. “Right now…you are single?” Klein asked.
“Yes, it’s very good to be single and there’s a lot of freedom.” I said with a smile.
I didn’t want to continue to be entangled with the last question. So I changed the subject. “What time is the party? What should I prepare?” Klein hurriedly replied, “I’ll wait for you at your door at half past six. It’ll be fine as long as you wear formal clothes. I’ve already prepared the wedding gift.”
“Okay, I’m going back to work now.” I nodded with a smile and left.
17:03 After work. I hurried home. I had to find a suitable clothes and dress up myself as soon as possible.
After all, this was a formal gathering. I chose to help Klein, so I had to take it seriously.
I searched for a long time before I found a long black dress that I bought when I attended the annual meeting in the Wharton Group
This dress was designed to show my shoulders, and the large piece of white skin between my neck was a little empty. I took out a platinum collarbone chain and put on a pair of small platinum earrings. Although these two pieces of jewelry were very simple and plain, they were also the only accessories I had bought over the years. It felt good to wear them, at least it gave people a fresh
“Very pretty!” Klein praised. “I hope I don’t lower your image.” I replied with a smile. On the way to the party, Klein seemed very nervous. His hands were often tugging at his tie.
