Chapter 2100
Bella felt uneasy under his gaze and she looked down to find she was as good as nude since her T shirt was drenched. She let out a gasp of shock and ran out of the door embracing herself.
Ben chuckled softly. Until now was this woman aware of that. She was really cute.
Bella hurried back home like a gust of wind. She felt annoyed at the sight of her soaked clothes. Did that man see clearly the color of her underwear just now?
Oh goodness! It was too embarrassing. She would not wear such thin clothes to work any more.
But she felt hot and tired at work. She would suffer more if she was heavily clad.
Bella took a shower and changed into casual clothes. She sat on the sofa and didn't know if she should go eat upstairs.
To be honest, she did not want to go as her intuition told her that she should stay away from Ben, who was a very dangerous man.
Of course, he would not attack her. He was dangerous because he was so good-looking that it was easy for him to charm and steal a woman's heart.
This was what Bella was afraid of. If she couldn't control her heart, would she suffer a terrible defeat like her mother?
When she was musing upon this question, her phone suddenly rang.
She thought her mother called and ran to pick it up, only to find that it was Ben.
She froze.
Should she answer the phone?
She hesitated for two seconds before she picked up. She had no guts to ignore his call.
"Come up." The man only said two words before hanging up the phone.
Bella didn't even have the chance to refuse. Her mind went blank.
Bella was a naive girl who had just started working. Thus she was not Ben's rival as he had a knack of manipulating people which enabled him to win all the battles in the business world. It would take him no efforts to control her.
But Bella would not possibly know that this man was already setting her up.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Bella had to take some fruits upstairs. When she opened the door and saw Ben come out of the kitchen in a black shirt, she forced a smile.
"You don't need to do this." Ben walked to her. Although he said so, he reached out to take the fruits from her and put aside.
Bella's mother had taught her since she was a child that she could not go to other people's home for diner without bringing a gift.
"I went shopping this afternoon and bought some fruits. I hope you don't mind." In the afternoon, Bella saw the imported fruits in his fridge. They were fresh and expensive. How could the fruits that she bought from a street vendor compare with his?
Ben said indifferently, "Why should I mind? Go wash your hands. Dinner is ready."
Bella was ill at ease. Although she wasn't awed by his large and magnificent living room, she was stunned by his lavish hospitality. She was not a care-free girl and she kept a lot things to herself. She was not a born socializer, and she even suffered a social dysfunction. Therefore his enthusiasm weighed her down.
She went into the kitchen and washed her hands. When she came out, she saw that Ben had already put a bowl of rice and chopsticks at her place.
"Mr. William, it's very kind of you. I... I can just grab a bite to eat. There's no need to make so many dishes." Bella knew very well that gifts blinded the eyes, so she was hesitant at the four dishes on the table.
"Are you going to be this polite with.
me all the time?" Ben's eyes darkened. He thought that if he treated her better, she would feel at ease. After all, a girl was born to be taken care of. However, he found that Bella was not an ordinary girl. She was too polite and afrai@to accept the kindness of others, like a cautious child. His heart ached. Bella knew she was petty, but she couldn't change. When someone treated her too well out of no reason, she would fear, think too much, and retreat.
Bella did not dare to speak anymore. She quietly picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
"Bella, you don't have to be on guard against me. Actually ... I feel lonely as I live alone. I just want to have someone to talk to." Ben wanted to relax her, so he found an excuse.
Bella looked up and her beautiful eyes met Ben's, "Do you feel lonely? I had thought a powerful man like you wouldn't feel lonely."
"A powerful man? Do you think so?" Ben raised his eyebrows and smiled. He felt delighted at her rare compliment.
"That's right. You bought this apartment in this neighborhood. Very few people could do that." Bella said softly.
Ben nodded. True, he had spent a lot of money on this apartment.
"So could you come and have dinner with me at home after class? Just like a friend?" Ben continued to act, pretending to be pitiful so as to gain her sympathy.
"Well, it's not appropriate." Bella was not stupid. A man and a woman stayed in one room, what kind of friendship was this? Besides, she was not in the position to be friends with Ben. She could only be his maid at most.
"What's not appropriate?" Ben's eyes darkened. It looked as though his coaxing didn't work on Bella, who seemed to be naturally on guard and didn't trust people easily.
"It's just not appropriate." Bella did not suspect his motives. She just felt that his request was unusual and dubious.
Ben did not expect that she would say no. He took pains to put up a wretched cover, but she didn't seem to sympathize with him.
"What? Your boyfriend will get angry?" Ben suggested.
Bella was a little taken aback. She shook her head and said honestly, "I don't have a boyfriend."
"Is it because your parents don't agree?" Ben asked again. His deep eyes were wavering with a dim light. No one could see through his mind. He was like a big gray wolf seducing a little white rabbit.
"My parents don't care about me." As Bella spoke, her eyes darkened with deep depression.
When Ben saw her expression suddenly saddened, he stopped probing and changed the topic. "Are you looking for a job?"
