Chapter 49 Chapter 49: "Bella, Bella! The VIP area is much better than our living environment. Those hot springs and villas can't even be described in words!" Joey was very excited after returning. "Have you sent the review letter?" I wasn't interested in the VIP area's environment. After all, I wasn't staying there. "I handed it over to his special assistant, Connor. He said he would personally give it to Mr. Wharton," Joey replied. Hearing this, I felt relieved. After all, it was business. There was a clear distinction between us. Apart from work, there was no other intersection between us. At this time, a colleague came to call for a gathering downstairs. Joey and I quickly changed and went downstairs. That night, all the employees of the company were dressed up for the dinner party. I was no exception. I wore a light green V-neck chiffon skirt and a silver hairpin in my hair. My slightly curly hair cascaded behind me, and I wore light makeup. When I appeared at the banquet, I could clearly feel many male colleagues' eyes on me. Then, Herbert appeared. He was dressed in a black suit, and wherever he went, women's eyes followed him. Bella's POV: Herbert appeared at the banquet, but there was no interaction between us, just like two strangers. But I didn't mind. I found a quiet corner to enjoy myself. In a way, it was better to enjoy the delicious food than to get others' attention. I saw Emma in the crowd. She wore an exaggerated dress today- a golden gown with her back exposed, almost revealing her buttocks. Though it was vulgar, she still managed to attract a lot of attention.

One of the two boxes contains a card with the names of the ladies present, and the other one contains a card with the names of the men. I will randomly select five men and five women. If you're picked, come up to the stage!" The host stood in front of two transparent boxes full of cards and explained the rules. The competition involved carrying balloons, where a man and a woman had to team up. Neither of them could use their hands or let the balloons fall to the ground. They had to use their bodies to carry the balloons from the starting point to the finish line, and the team with the most balloons would win. This game was a test of coordination, but it was also meant to create an ambiguous connection between the men and women, making it more playful. Naturally, the atmosphere became very lively, and all the men were eager to be chosen. Four pairs of men and women were soon on stage. I thought that this small chance had nothing to do with me- after all, the odds of being picked were slim. But it was such a coincidence that the last name called was mine! "The fifth lady is... Bella!" The host shouted. I stepped onto the stage in a daze. The host continued, "Now I'm going to select the last man..." At that moment, the host raised the microphone and said in an excited tone, "Everyone, our boss, Mr. Wharton, is also participating in this game, so the partner of the fifth lady is our Mr. Wharton. Now, welcome Mr. Wharton!" Standing on stage, I saw Herbert stepping up, and I was stunned. "I'm actually in the same team as him? God, why do I feel my heart beating so fast?" . . .
