However, the heat in his eyes quickly froze. He saw that Bella was with a boy of the same age. They looked like a pair of young lovers.
Ben's handsome face froze as he expressionlessly looked away.
Bella wanted to say hello to him at first, but his expression was stiff, so she could only pretend to forget him and stand side by side with Thomas.
"Bella, what color do you like?" Thomas did not notice anything unusual and asked the girl beside him in a low voice.
"I... I prefer a single color. Any color will do." Bella whispered to him.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that there was someone staring at her from behind.
Ben looked at the girl who was very close. Her long black hair was hanging on her back. Her hair was soft. They were so close to each other that Thomas seemed to be able to smell a faint fragrance from her body.
Ben felt somehow anxious, and his heart beat quickly a few times. He clenched his palm tightly and cursed, "Damn it!"
How could he feel this way about a girl he had not known for a long time?
The fifth floor arrived. The elevator opened. Thomas deliberately held Bella's hand as they exited the elevator. Bella quickly broke free and walked out.
Ben's eyes narrowed, and his mood suddenly became extremely bad.
"Mr. Ben, the next project will be officially completed next month. The meeting tonight …"
"Cancel the meeting tonight." Ben was in a bad mood, and the negative emotions caused him to involuntarily postpone his work. When he discovered this, he was also shocked.
"Don't cancel. Continue." Ben had already adjusted his mood in just a few seconds. He was no longer a child and could not treat his work casually.
Behind him stood a few men with confused faces.
Bella picked two female bags for Thomas. Thomas felt very satisfied, so he looked at the time and said, "It's almost dinner time. Let's eat together. I'll treat you."
"No need, I still need to buy something. You can go back." Bella did not want to accept his kindness anymore. They weren't close before. It was only because his sudden request made it impossible for her to refuse that she would help.
Thomas did not insist and only smiled, "Then I'll go home first. See you at school tomorrow."
After Thomas left, Bella heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, she came here because she was bored and had nowhere to go. That was why she wanted to come to a crowded place.
In the past, when her mother was at home, she had to obey her mother's rules. She would be scolded when she returned after 10 in the evening. Now that her mother was at her grandmother's house, her time was at her disposal. She really wanted to relax herself.
For Bella's supper, she had beef noodles and two steak bones. As expected, delicious food could cure her bad mood. After eating enough, she queued up to buy a cup of milk tea. She watched the time and decided to watch a movie.
After watching the movie, it was already half past ten in the evening. Bella had an indescribable feeling, as if she was intentionally trying to break the old life. It was already half past ten. But she would not be scolded when she returned home at this time.
Bella held a cup of milk tea and walked out. But when she stood outside the door, she suddenly thought of it. It was so late, so was there a bus?
Bella's brain buzzed. It seemed like she had to take a taxi.
Bella stood by the side of the road and waited for a taxi. At this moment, many people had just finished the movie and came out. There were many people but few taxies. Bella would not scramble with them. She leaned against a tree and waited for a taxi when there were fewer people.
Ben had just finished his meeting when he was about to drive home when he swept his gaze over the girl on the roadside.
