Chapter 3 Help me,sir

Bella looked at the door...that Alexander had just closed behind him after he and his wife entered one of the rooms.

She approached the door, which was closed with curiosity, and she felt angry at her bad behavior, but her nosiness took over. She came back to the room, eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Your presence here today assures me that you still love me. Give me another chance, Alexander, please."

"Jackie, it's all over between us. Our marriage is already over. You cheated on me."

"You are hard-hearted, Alexander. I love you so desperately. I can't be away from you... Forgive me for what I have done and give our marriage another chance."

"I was nothing to you but a valuable catch. David pushed you toward me to take revenge on me for his sister's sake."

She approached to seduce him, but he shouted at her after he pushed her away.

"Don't ever mess with me again, Jackie."

Her features faded when she saw him signaling her not to approach him.

"Forgive me, Alexander. I needed the money Mr. David gave me. I didn't think I would fall in love with you. I thought it was just a fake love game."

He looked at her with a look of rage. He felt mad because he married a deceitful woman like her.

He approached her, grabbed her arm, and told her.

"I don't know how I fell in love with you."

''Whenever I look at your face, I see that I am a fool.''

"My arm hurts, Alexander." She murmured, unable to bear the pain in her arm.

"The more I make excuses for you, the more I discover your despicableness. I can't believe I was so foolish."

He pushed her... so she rushed towards him, grabbing his arm, begging him.

"Alexander...please listen to me and gives me another chance. Don't judge me without knowing my reasons."

But Alexander was opening the door of the room without looking at her.

Bella gasped in terror as her body collided with his chest.

He glanced at her with a grimace, gripping her arm harshly as well.

"What did I expect from a girl like you but to eavesdrop behind doors?"

He pulled her behind him. He didn't care about Jackie's shouting.

Bella was shocked at what she overheard of a quarrel between them.

Her foot twisted as he pulled her behind him because of the speed of his steps; she cried out in rage.

"Stop, Mr. Alexander. My feet hurt."

He let go of her arm and pushed her into the elevator

"I do not want to hear your voice... It is enough that you are a disaster that has fallen on my head. I do not know why I sympathized with you.

She swallowed her saliva at the harshness of his words and then stepped back in fear.

He exited the elevator, and she followed him, not knowing where she would go with him again...when she stopped in front of his car, looked at him wondering.

"Get in the car, or will you leave me here?"

He didn't give her a reply and got into his car, waiting for her to get on.

She continued standing...so he raised his voice loudly, commanding her.

"Get in the car. I want to get rid of you. You are nothing but a disaster that fell over my head out of nowhere."

Bella got into the car, afraid of his high-pitched tone... She only wants a place to live and work.

He drove his car...she is worried about his insane speed.

Without her attention, she found herself whispering, remembering how his features changed after they left the elevator, and he stood staring at his phone.

''Of course, this is because of the message he received on his phone.''

The car speeded up; her eyes widened in panic when she saw one of the cars coming towards them.

"The car is toward us. We will die because of you. Watch out."

She let out a breath and then returned to her panic.

"You will run over the man, and he'll die, you lunatic."

She put her hands over her eyes for fear of seeing the man soaked in his blood after their car hit him, but he skillfully avoided the man.

She caught her breath in relief as the car finally came to a stop.

"I'm still alive. I can't believe I got out of your car. You are crazy."

She stared at him after he leaned his back against the front of the car.

"All this because you love your wife, put aside your pride, man, and return to her. She is beautiful, but she is bad-tempered like you."

He gave her angry looks; she stopped talking and then covered her lips with the palm of her hand.

She looked at the car mirror to arrange her clothes and locks of hair.

She let out a breath, then moved her lips wearily and wondered, What pushed her to get him into trouble?

She approached him, the cold air hitting her face.

"The weather today is wonderful. I feel hungry. Is there a restaurant near here? I don't want such restaurants that rich people enter."

Alexander paid attention to her talk after he got out of his thoughts.

Bella did not see any response from him...she was already hungry.

"Why did you choose my car and get in it?"

He gave his words and headed towards his car. She lowered her head to the ground.., feeling humiliated.

"Help me find a job, sir. I will never forget your kindness."

He turned his body to her after her words pierced his heart, then lowered his head, rubbing his forehead exhaustingly.

"I will help you, but I don't want any talk that comes out of you about what you heard."

She nodded her head...his eyes gleamed harshly, remembering how Jackie had fooled him.

"If words get out here or there... I will know how to punish you."

She quickly wiped her tears, looking at him, swearing honestly.

"Do not be afraid, sir... as if I had never heard your quarrel and never met you and your wife."

"She is my ex-wife...she is no longer my wife."

"I have a friend who owns a restaurant. I will ask him to hire you." He muttered his words and then gave her a cursory look.

Her eyes sparkled with happiness. She finally found a job.

"Where will I live, sir?"

He looked at her silently without answering her.

..

"Bella, Bella...go write down the customer order."

Bella hastened her steps towards one of the tables pointed out by Mr. Albert that a kind man.

She wrote down the request with a gentle smile asking the customer.

"Is there another request, sir?"

"Thank you."

This has been her work for the past two days since Mr. Alexander brought her here.

She sighed tiredly when her rest time came, looking at her co-workers as they ate their food in the restaurant kitchen.

"Today, work is very stressful...there are many customers." ,, Bella muttered as she sat down to eat her meal.,,

Before they finished eating, they heard shouting.

Mr. Albert cursed his son, Ashley, in his secret. He hated the day he had a son like Ashley.

"Of course, you're here to take the money." Mr. Albert said it as he looked at Ashley.

"Yes, dear father, I admire your intelligence. Give me the money so I can go, for I know you can't bear to see me."

Mr. Albert exhaled his breath narrowly after giving him the money and headed towards the kitchen to continue examining the food.

Zola, ''one of the waitresses''... looked around her and then ran to Ashley before he left.

"Ashley, wait."

Ashley furrowed his eyebrows...he turned to her and then took a close look at the curves of her body.

Zola approached him and unbuttoned some of her shirt buttons.

"Did you not miss me, Mr. Ashley?"

Ashley did not wait to hear any more chatter...and pulled her by the elbow into the pantry where the food was kept.

A gasp came out of Bella, whose body shivered with terror as she saw them in that shameful situation.

She hastened with her steps outside after falling one of the food boxes from her hand.

Zola hastily tidied up her shirt and locks of hair.

"She saw us. I can't stand this girl, Ashley."

Ashley left without caring about her.

Zola breathed out in panic and returned to the kitchen. She looked at Bella, threatening her if she exposed her to Mr. Albert.

..

Zola chewed gum near Bella, who was busy cleaning the tables.

Bella didn't care about what she did...she knew she wanted to fight with her so that Mr. Albert would fire her.

Zola poked her in the shoulder angrily.

"You know...I can't stand you in the restaurant, so beware of me."

Bella swallowed a groan...she saw the likes of Zola in the shop where she worked in her city.

"I'm here on business. I don't care about you."

Zola's features darkened...she glared at her with hatred and took angry steps out of the kitchen, muttering to herself.

"She doesn't seem to be afraid of me. I must think of a predicament for her until she is kicked out of the restaurant."
