Chapter 19 Chapter 19: At that moment, I was very nervous. I was afraid that if I failed, that moody man, Herbert, would blame me for the failure. Then I really wouldn't be able to work in this company anymore. I sat there, waiting anxiously... Bella's POV: A few minutes later, the door to the conference room opened, and I saw people in suits coming out. Herbert was the last one to emerge. His expression was very serious, and his lips were tightly pressed together. This made me nervous. I thought to myself, It seems like the bid wasn't successful. I better stay quiet and not provoke the boss, or I'll be in trouble. "Mr. Wharton?" I walked up to him and greeted him in a soft voice. "Let's go," he replied, glancing at me before turning and leaving. I followed him in my high heels, careful not to make too much noise or breathe too loudly. There were many people waiting for the elevator. Herbert stood in front, and I stood behind him, unsure of what to say. Perhaps the silence was too much for him, because he suddenly turned to me and asked, "Why didn't you ask about the result of the bidding? Don't you care about the company?" In the face of Herbert's question, I didn't know how to respond. The reason I hadn't asked anything was because I was afraid of making him angry. Now, being questioned about not caring for the company, I felt truly awkward. I adjusted my mood and forced a smile. Don't miss it: gᴀlиovєℓѕ.cоm "L... I was just thinking about how to ask! So, what's the result?" Although I asked, I didn't really expect much. After all, when he came out of the meeting room, he looked terrible. But I didn't expect Herbert to say, "Our company won the bid." "What?" I asked, confused. "Why is he so serious about such a happy thing?" I thought to myself. "You don't want the company to win the bid?" Herbert asked again. His questions always seemed a bit hard to understand. But no matter what, he was my boss, so I had to respond. "No! I'm at home every day, praying that our company will become stronger and stronger and that we can become the strongest in the universe." After I said this, I suddenly realized that my reply had been too perfunctory. I was about to say something else to make up for it, but when I looked up and saw the serious look in Herbert's eyes, I couldn't find the words. I lowered my head instead. Ding... At that moment, the elevator arrived. The elevator came just in time, offering me a way to ease the awkward tension. "Sir, the elevator is here," I said, raising my head and forcing a smile. Herbert glanced at me, turned around, and entered the elevator. I followed closely behind and stepped inside. The elevator was packed with people, and as the doors closed, everyone held their breath because their bodies were almost pressed against one another. . . .
