Chapter 8 A Long-lost Appointment

After hanging up the phone, Belle tidied herself up for a while and was about to go out when the housekeeper came over.

"Mrs. Belle, are you going out?"

"Yes, I have an appointment with a friend and will be back soon." Although Belle was very dissatisfied with the Ning family, out of politeness, she was very polite to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper said politely, "Then you can choose a car in the garage. The Ning's mansion is located in the remote suburb. It's a little difficult to go out now without a car." The housekeeper thought in the heart, 'I have been a servant for most of my life, and I have seen many women who want to marry Mr. Harris, but they are all obedient in front of Mr. Harris. As soon as Mr. Harris left, they did treat us impolitely, not like Mrs. Belle in front of us. Mr. Harris married the right person this time.'

Belle didn't know that the housekeeper in front of her thought of her like this. If she knew it, she would be laughed out.

Belle had always been very irritable in front of Harris. In front of outsiders, Belle was a polite lady.

"Okay, take me there." At first, Belle was unwilling to use the car of the Ning family, but on second thought. 'If I don't use it, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the Ning family until dark today. Forget it. I'd better use it.

They arrived at the garage of the Ning family. Looking at the neatly parked cars, Belle thought, 'Wow! No wonder the Ning family ranked first in the A City. There were all limited edition luxury cars in the garage.'

At this time, a servant in the garage came over and said, "Mrs. Belle, you can choose whichever you like."

Belle was stunned. She looked around the garage again and stuck her tongue to react.

"I'll go choose it myself."

The servant replied, "Yes, Mrs. Belle."

Belle braced herself up, went around the garage and finally saw a very inconspicuous car in a small corner.

"I want this car." Belle pointed at the inconspicuous car and said to the servant.

"It..." The servant said awkwardly.

"Mrs. Belle, you'd better choose another car. This car has been parked for too long and it's very dirty. It's a shame for you to drive it out." The servant said hesitantly.

"I just want this one. I think this car is very good. If you feel it ashamed, you can take it to wash it first."

'If I drive another luxury car, at that time, there will be so many people looking back at me. I guess the elders of the Ning family will be dissatisfied with me if they knew about it and blame me by saying that I was out to attract the attention of the elegant young idlers. I have finally left the Bei family and planned to have a period of leisure.' Belle thought.

"Well, Mrs. Claire, let's get ready first. You can drive this car out in about ten minutes." The servant said respectfully.

"Okay, go get ready." Belle raised her hand, ordered the servant, turned around and left the garage.

Ten minutes later, as expected, Belle drove the old car out of the gate of the Ning family.

After leaving the Ning's mansion, Belle felt the weather was getting sunny.

Sitting in the car, Belle felt lucky that she had left the Ning family and finally saw the outside world. Belle thought.

At this time, the whole building of the N Group was very quiet.

All the staff knew what happened in the meeting room today. Everyone was very "sensible" today, and no one went to disturb the man in the office.

Suddenly, the phone rang, breaking the silence.

Harris picked up the phone and answered it.

"Hello, this is Harris."

"You bastard, do you still care about me?" Hogan's irritable voice came through the phone.

Hearing Hogan's voice, Harris took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling. Harris said in a low voice, "Don't say that. You are my grandfather. Of course I respect you."

"Since you said you still remember me, why don't you remember today is the second day of your marriage? Have you forgotten the rules of the Ning family?"

When Hogan heard his grandson's compliments, Hogan would immediately soften his heart. But today, he remembered that his grandson just got married yesterday, and on the second day, he couldn't even drink a glass of water served from his granddaughter in law. At the thought of this, Hogan was very angry.

Looking at the ceiling, Harris rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "There are a lot of things to deal with in the company today. I'm afraid I don't have time to go back and serve you tea."

"Well, I don't care. I have to drink your tea today." Hogan said willfully.

Hearing Hogan's words, Harris was anxious. In a hurry, he said, "To be honest with you, it's not that I don't want to go back. It's just that Belle is not feeling well today. I let her have more rest in my room. As a result, we are late to serve you tea."

"Don't think that I don't know that Belle has gone out. Anyway, you must bring her back today. For the peace of this family, at least a family must have a meal." Hogan put pressure on Harris and said that.

'What? Belle went out without telling me. I think she is so bold that she is fearless.' Harris thought in his heart.

Knowing that there was no reason for him to delay, Harris had to agree to Hogan's invitation to go home for dinner tonight.

Annoyed, Harris sat on the boss's chair dejectedly.

"Belle, I miss you so much!" As soon as Joan saw Belle enter the milk tea shop, she ran quickly to Belle and hugged her tightly.

"Hey, Joan, I'm right next to you. If you hold me like this, I'm afraid I'll be strangled to death by you." Belle teased.

Hearing the words of Belle, Joan quickly let go of Belle.

Seeing that Joan was so nervous, Belle pretended to be held by her and coughed.

Joan was frightened to see that and said in a trembling voice, "Belle, you....Are you okay?"

Seeing that her friend was so nervous, Belle knew that she had joked too far. She quickly said, "Joan, it is okay. I'm just frightened by your enthusiasm."

Joan heaved a long sigh and said, "I'm so scared. It's good that you're fine."

Suddenly, it occurred to her that Belle had something to tell her on the phone. Driven by curiosity, Joan asked, "Belle, what did you want to say on the phone just now?"

"Let's order a cup to drink first and then sit down to have a talk." Belle calmed down from the joy and said.

Seeing that Belle took it so seriously, Joan didn't ask any more.

"Let's go and see what to drink." Belle said, holding Joan's arm.

They came to the counter of the milk tea shop.

Belle and Joan used to come to this milk tea shop. Joan liked to drink lemon Yakult tea most, while Belle liked to drink Boba Matcha tea.

Joan said to the waiter, "Sir, give me a cup of lemon Yakult and a cup of Boba Matcha for her."

"Wait a minute!" Belle said as soon as she heard Joan order her favorite tea, Boba Matcha tea.

"Please change it to lemon Yakult tea for me." Belle said politely.

Joan looked at Belle in surprise. She didn't understand why Belle suddenly changed her favorite milk tea.

"Belle, what's wrong with you?" Joan asked in confusion.

Belle winked at Joan to stop her.

Joan received the signal of Belle. She thought that this little girl was strange recently. 'It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have plenty of time to make it clear later.'

The shop assistant brought the drinks.

Belle cleared her mind and said, "Joan, I'm married."

"What? Are you kidding me, Belle? It's not funny at all." Joan said in surprise. Obviously, this information was too much surprising for Joan to react at once.

"I'm not kidding, Joan. I'm really married yesterday. I'm sorry that I didn't invite you to be my Bridesmaid because of the emergency." Belle said apologetically.

Belle couldn't believe what had happened these days, as if what had happened in a TV drama had happened to her.

"Belle. It doesn't matter. As long as that man really treats you well." Joan said sincerely.

"Thank you, Joan. I know you are the only one who treats me the best." Seeing that Joan had accepted the fact, Belle felt better.

Then who was that man. This was a more curious question for Joan.

"Belle. Let me ask you, which man has married you?" Joan couldn't help asking the question she wanted to know the most in her heart.

Belle bit her lips and hesitated for a moment. When she was about to say his name, her phone rang.

The man in the president office seemed to have finally figured out a solution. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, this is Harris."

Hearing the voice of Harris on the phone, Belle frowned and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Feeling the coldness of Belle, Harris thought that he had something to ask for, and the little anger that had been rising in his heart was forcefully suppressed.

"Five o'clock this afternoon. Do you have time? Let's go out and have a talk."

"What? Did I hear it wrong? Why do you have time to talk to me today?" Belle sneered.

Feeling the mockery of Belle, Harris tried his best to suppress his temper and said, "For the sake of our future marriage and life, we'd better come out and have a talk."

After thinking for a while, Belle finally agreed to Harris's request.

"Okay, then five o'clock in the afternoon. Let's go to the coffee shop at the gate of the N Group."

"No problem. See you then." Seeing that Belle had agreed, Harris was relieved. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his hand. He looked down and unconsciously pinched his fingers together.
