Chapter 21 Chapter 21: I blinked in surprise, raising my head to stare at him. Bella's POV: As soon as I entered the president's office, I felt that the atmosphere was off. "Mr. Wharton, are you looking for me?" I asked, walking toward the desk. I noticed the displeased look on Herbert's face, which irritated me. I didn't owe him anything, and I was here for work, not to endure his bad mood. "Bella, don't think that just because we slept together once, you can seduce me and make me listen to you. I'm not as weak as you think!" Herbert warned coldly. His words immediately provoked me. "Mr. Wharton, I don't know what gave you the impression that I wanted to seduce you. But let me tell you now- even if you were the only man left in the world, I wouldn't be interested in you!" I snapped back. Herbert snorted coldly. "I hate hypocritical women like you." "Why am I so hypocritical?" I retorted, my anger rising. I pressed my hands onto the desk in front of me. What happened in the elevator was an accident. But now he was accusing me of trying to seduce him? This was slander! If he weren't the boss, I would have confronted him directly. At that moment, I saw Herbert throw something pink onto the desk, his tone filled with disgust. "Do you dare to say that this isn't yours?" Lᴀtｅst chᴀptєrs in glnovels.ο I looked down and saw a pair of pink disposable underwear lying on the desk. I was completely stunned. "Oh my god! How could this be in Herbert's hands?" I hadn't been home in days, so I had bought some disposable underwear to keep at the company. This pink one had been the pair I changed into this morning. No wonder I couldn't find the pair that should have been thrown out. I now remembered it should have been placed in the bathtub after my shower. But I had been in such a rush this morning and forgot to take it with me. No wonder Herbert had thought I was trying to seduce him. It was so easy for people to misunderstand. For a moment, I felt extremely embarrassed. I opened my mouth but didn't know what to say. "Oh my god! I really want to find a hole to hide in and never come out again. This is so embarrassing!" I thought to myself. I shifted my focus. "So, you're saying that I've reused the budget in six days or that I performed well in the elevator just now?" Herbert didn't answer right away. "It's getting late. Let's go back to the company now," he said, lowering his head and coughing. He then turned around and got into the back seat of the car. I pursed my lips and got into the front seat. I didn't want to face this strange tension between us-intimate contact with my boss. The ride back to the company was uncomfortable. My face was flushed, and memories of that night kept replaying in my mind. Every movement, every feeling, was crystal clear, and now, the man who had shared that intimacy with me was sitting in the back seat. My face grew even hotter. We didn't say anything on the way back, and soon we arrived at the company. . . .
