Chapter 282
Christopher prepared a special Omakase dinner for Bella, indulging her love for surprises. The air-flown bluefin tuna had a smooth and delicious texture. The tempura was perfectly
balanced with a crispy exterior and tender interior, while the sashimi was remarkably fresh and velvety.
Each dish was exceptional and stood out as Bella savored the delicious food and drank some wine. She was re-energized and loosened up to Christopher.
Christopher was highly knowledgeable in various subjects and found a kindred spirit in Bella, who also shared his knowledge. They discussed literature, music, and even games. There was virtually no topic that Mr. Iverson could not engage in.
What surprised Bella the most was their shared interest in an online game. They both preferred the role of the primary attacker. Bella’s enthusiasm soared when discussing games. Her face flushed with excitement, and her delicate hands were gesturing in the air as she spoke, revealing a side of her that was particularly lively.
Christopher smiled indulgently as he let Bella take the lead in the conversation. After a satisfying meal, the two strolled out of the restaurant together. Christopher didn’t bring up collaboration during the enjoyable banquet, and their conversation remained casual, leaving Bella feeling a bit awkward.
As they were getting ready to say goodbye, Christopher seemed to anticipate what she was about to ask and said, “Bella, regarding the collaboration with Rose Manor, you can send me the proposal whenever you’re ready. Once we review it, we can proceed with signing the contract.”
“Christopher,” Bella paused for a moment, speaking in a gentle tone, “You chose to
collaborate with me instead of the Salvadors today. I have a feeling that you did it to help me get back at Justin and make him suffer a little.”
Christopher remained noncommittal, his expression carrying a faint smile as he looked at her. Bella continued, “Remember, the business world isn’t a game. It’s all about looking out for your own interests.”
After a brief pause, she added, “It’s important to consider your own interests. I hope you’ll be careful and not let personal relationships sway your decision when choosing a business partner. While I do have some issues with Justin, I won’t take advantage of anyone. As for the collaboration with Rose Manor, since he’s also interested, I suggest you review both our proposals and choose the better one through fair competition.”
As Bella departed Rose Manor, her mind was filled with contemplation. After much reflection, she still felt that collaborating with Christopher in this way wasn’t quite right. While she considered the possibility of benefiting from Salvador’s actions, Bella found it hard to justify acquiring resources through her relationship with Christopher.
She felt uneasy about achieving success by relying on a man, something that went against her personal values as a young lady who, except for her father and brothers, avoided depending on
men.
As they were discussing, Christopher looked deeply into Bella’s clear eyes and nodded with smile, saying, “Yes, that makes sense.” However, Bella was still unsure about collaborating
Christopher added, “But even if Justin presents a plan to me, I will still choose you.”
Bella was left speechless. It seemed like Christopher didn’t listen to anything she had said earlier!
Christopher smiled playfully and responded, “Bella, I understand your concerns. However, everyone has their own unique approach, and mine is to work together with acquaintances. I am not familiar with Justin, so I will not choose him. Bella, we have known each other for a long time, and it feels like we are old friends. Therefore, I choose you.”
