Chapter 44 Chapter 44: "It's Miss Briden who's causing all the trouble. We're employees of the company, but that doesn't mean we should be treated like this. Don't we deserve basic dignity?" she said, standing up for me. I looked at Joey gratefully. Emma immediately pointed at Joey and snapped, "Herbert, this employee's attitude is terrible, and her efficiency is so low. I don't understand how she even got hired at this company." "You-" Joey began to argue back. "Say less. Do you really want to quit?" the manager quickly intervened, signaling Joey to be quiet. "Yes, yes, yes," the manager nodded immediately, agreeing to keep the peace. At this moment, Emma turned to Herbert and said, "Herbert, are you really just going to write a review?" Herbert, with an icy tone, replied, "Miss Briden, our relationship is not that close. Besides, this is a company, not a supermarket. Please be more mindful of your words and actions." Emma, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was now speechless. "I'll go back to work," Herbert added, nodding politely before turning to leave. Emma, clearly furious, stamped her foot and left, causing some of the others to chuckle quietly. The situation was over, but I still felt a bit uncomfortable. I sat back down in my seat, frustration rising inside me. I stared at the paper and pen in front of me, but I couldn't bring myself to write. How could I when I knew Emma had been the one to start this whole thing? What bothered Your imagination starts at g Ɐ ln σ ν s․conn me the most was Herbert's indifferent attitude-it made me feel small and dismissed. I sat there for what felt like hours, but not a single word made it onto the paper. I felt stuck, unsure of how to move forward. At noon the next day, just as I was about to leave work, I received a call from Connor. "Madam, Mr. Wharton would like to invite you to lunch," he said politely. I whispered into the phone, "I've already asked my colleagues to bring me lunch." "Mrs., this is an order from Mr. Wharton," Connor insisted. I couldn't help but frown, feeling conflicted. After all, he had asked me to write a review. Maybe, since I was his nominal wife, he didn't have to care about my feelings? I felt a little uncomfortable, but I had to compromise. I still had to continue working in this company, and I needed the income. The baby in my belly needed to be born smoothly. Moreover, it was just for lunch. I couldn't feel sorry for anything, especially not for delicious food. Yes, that was it. I tried hard to convince myself. Twenty minutes later, I arrived at the restaurant. The table was already filled with dishes, but Herbert didn't come. Only Connor was standing by the table. He pulled out a chair in an extremely gentlemanly manner and said, "Madam, there's a meeting at noon today, so I'll let you enjoy your meal in peace." Hearing this, I felt a sense of relief. After all, there was no need to see that man, and there was good food to enjoy. The dishes on the table today were absolutely delicious. Bella's POV: . . .
