Bill saw the intimacy in front of him. His father was lying in the hospital bed because of her no-show in his dad’s birthday party.
It was all settled.
Bill already announced to his parents that he would be bringing Jane Foster to them and agreed to marry her. His parents were so excited that finally Bill granted their wish. Ed was hoping to formally announce his only son’s engagement at his birthday party, but failed because of the girl who didn’t show up.
After the party, Ed couldn’t breathe so he was rushed to the hospital. He was stable for now, but the doctor said that Ed almost didn’t make it. Another fatal heart attack could lead him to death.
Bill clenched his fists tightly while his sharp eyes were looking at the scene in front of him.
He might be very good at her that’s why she keeps on testing his patience. Bill never had this kind of toleration with anyone.
It seemed that this girl neglected him because of Jayson Hansen. Bill never been neglected with a girl before, let alone rejected.
The black Bentley drove off.
“Jayson, It’s already late. Please go home now.” Arabella wanted to comfort Jayson as a friend.
“Please let me hug you for a little longer. Please don’t marry Bill Sky. I can marry you tonight. You just belong to me.” Jayson said frantically.
Arabella pushed him. She didn’t want to give Jayson any hopes, but of course Arabella didn’t want to see Jayson suffer because of her.
“Jayson, please think about your baby with Margaret.” Arabella surely knew that Jayson would be pacified upon reminding him his baby.
Jason was taken aback. Hearing Arabella’s words, his heart was crumpled. He knew Margaret would do everything to his baby if he would marry Arabella.
He had to choose between them. He could not allow Arabella to marry Bill Sky but he couldn’t allow also to lose his child.
Jayson, without giving Arabella a glance, he exited and drove his car with an extreme speed.
Arabella was worried about Jayson’s furious reaction. She tried to call him, but he didn’t answer her.
She didn’t know what to do, she could only hope for his safety.
Next morning, Arabella arrived at her office early as she was in the mood to finish her work. This the only way to divert herself from Jayson’s action last night and the matter with Bill that was left unsettled. She was still thinking with Jayson’s safety, but couldn’t get any answer. Arabella prohibits herself to call on Jayson’s landline as Arabella knew she was banned by his parents. They already have Margaret now as their future daughter-in-law. Arabella didn’t want to be misunderstood by them specially Margaret. As Jayson’s ex-girlfriend, it’s just right to keep her distance from him.
Arabella went directly to her office with a cup of coffee in her hand. She used to buy coffee on the café next to their building before going up to her office.
People there were nowhere to be found.
‘Ah, maybe because I’m just too early.’ Arabella innocently thought.
She twisted the doorknob to open, but to her surprise, someone was sitting on her swivel chair.
That solid, broad back was so familiar to her.
“What are you doing here?” Arabella was stunned, but tried to keep her calm.
Bill turned the swivel chair and faced Arabella. He looked at her menacingly like he wanted to swallow her whole.
“This is my office now.” Bill said calmly but with strict demeanor.
“What are you talking about?” Arabella was shocked. She felt nervous that she knew Bill would never just mess around.
“You heard me. Oh! I’m sorry. Let me rephrase it. It’s not just my office, but my company now, Ms. Arabella Jones.” Bill’s tone was provocative. He put an emphasis when he uttered her name.
“You must be kidding me, Mr. Sky! Arabella widened her eyes. She refused to accept was, he said. This couldn’t be happening.
“Do I look like a clown to you? Kidding is not my thing Ms. Jones.” He said with a looked that one could easily be frightened. His handsome was calm, but one could easily say that it carries deathful intent.
“Mr. Sky, look! If this is about your dad’s birthday party, let me explain….” Arabella had the feeling that Bill was doing this to punish her because of what she had done.
“I don’t need explanation. I don’t need that either.” Bill said with calmness, but with sharp gaze.
“Then what do you want?” Arabella was in negotiation with him again.
“I want you to get out from here.” Bill replied firmly.
“What? But this is my father’s company.” Arabella yelled at him. She was now irritated at him.
“Don’t repeat myself or you will regret.” Bill said more likely threatening her.
“No! This is our company! You can’t do this to me.” Arabella couldn’t withstand her anger. She impulsively splashed her coffee to the man in front of her.
Bill was a bit shocked. This girl had the audacity to do it to him. Bill remained calm and wiped the liquid on his face elegantly. In a snapped of his fingers, two men in black came in the room and held Arabella in her arms.
