Chapter 4 The cancelled cooperation

Mason is having a fit in the office, with papers scattered all over the floor.

It has been more than a day since Bella left and she didn't come back. She didn't call Mason or reply to his messages. It was as if she had disappeared from this world, which made Mason very annoyed.

Bella used to be different. No matter how Mason treated her, she would never say no and would always try to please him in every way. What happened this time? Could it be that this woman really left?

It's impossible. She used to please him in every way. How could she leave him? Even if he drove her away, she wouldn't leave.

Secretary Randy knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Mason, Miss Bella hasn't returned to the office since yesterday. As you instructed, I have checked all the items in Miss Bella's office and she didn't take anything with her. I also checked the computer and no files were copied. And..."

"And what?" Mason said in a deep voice.

"She sent me a text message resigning and then I couldn't get in touch with her anymore. Just now, I received a package arranged by Miss Bella to be sent here. She said it must be given to you." Randy handed over the package.

"A package?" Mason immediately took it and put it on the desk, ignoring it for the time being.

Since Bella and Mason were secretly married, in the company, no one knew that Bella was Mason's wife. They only knew that she was a part-time business manager who had made great contributions to the company and didn't receive a salary from the company, nor did she come to work every day. At that time, Randy guessed that since Miss Bella had created so much profit for the company, Mr. Mason should have a special private contract with her.

Mason flipped through the messy papers in his hand, but he didn't really read a few lines. His heart was full of annoyance. What on earth was this woman up to?

"There is also a very urgent matter!"

Seeing that his boss was in a very bad mood, Randy didn't know if he could mention this matter now, but it was very urgent and had to be reported.

"What's the matter?" Mason looked up.

Randy hesitated: "An urgent message came from Los Angeles. Rainbow Pharmaceutical Company has cancelled its cooperation with us, saying that our qualifications do not meet the standards." Randy tried to say it calmly and clearly.

Mason's face quickly darkened and looked very ugly, as if he was about to burst into anger: "Didn't we talk well before? I was just about to sign the contract. This project is the most profitable one for our company in recent years. Without exaggeration, it is related to the survival of the company and must be won at all costs."

Rainbow Pharmaceutical Company is one of the world's giants. It has opened a large pharmaceutical factory in Los Angeles. Mason hopes that his company can supply active pharmaceutical ingredients for it. If this cooperation can be signed, Michelle Company will obtain huge profits.

Randy said helplessly: "But..."

"But what?"

"But this project has always been negotiated by Miss Bella and we know nothing about it."

"Then call her and ask her to come over."

"I called Miss Bella to ask about this matter, but her mobile phone was turned off..."

"..."

Randy didn't dare to continue speaking.

Damn it!

Mason cursed a swear word.

If he remembered correctly, Bella said that she grew up in the slums of New York. She had no relatives or friends. Where could she go? She couldn't survive outside Mason's home.

"First, think of a way to find Bella's home. I don't believe we can't find this woman."

"Second, contact Rainbow Pharmaceutical Company. I want to meet their CEO and talk to them personally. Bella is just a business manager. It will be more likely for me to succeed if I take the lead."

"Third, we should sue Bella. Her sudden departure without saying goodbye has brought huge losses to our company."

Mason ordered Randy with a gloomy face. Randy had no choice but to do as he was told, but he couldn't find any information about Bella. It was as if she had disappeared from this world.

Rainbow Pharmaceutical Company replied: Their CEO was not available to meet Mason.

As for suing Bella, Michelle Company didn't sign a formal contract with her at all, which meant that Bella was just doing voluntary work for them.

Due to the obstruction of the cooperation on the big project in Los Angeles, the whole company was in turmoil. Mason was also in a mess. He sat in the office all afternoon and couldn't come up with a solution.

"Mason, sir, don't forget Mr. Brington's party tonight. Originally, he invited Miss Bella and you. Now Miss Bella has resigned." Randy reminded.

Mason thought for a while and dialed Olivia's phone. He decided to take Olivia to the party.

When it was almost time to get off work, Mason remembered the package on the desk. He opened the package. Inside was a set of clothes from outside to inside and a bank card. The clothes were the ones Bella was wearing when she left yesterday.

"This is all I took from your home and the money. Now I don't owe you anything. On the day we agreed to handle the divorce formalities, my lawyer will be on time at the City Hall. I hope you or your lawyer won't be late. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other." Mason received a text message from Bella.

She turned on her phone. Mason immediately dialed Bella's phone, but the prompt was: This phone number has been cancelled.

Mason gritted his teeth in anger. It should have been him who proposed divorce, not Bella.

"Dear!"

Olivia appeared at the office door.

"Why did you come?"

Mason signaled her to close the office door. Olivia knew that Bella and Mason were secretly married, so her appearance in the company now was just a hint to everyone in the company that she was Mrs. Mason.

"I'm so scared. I'm worried that Bella will retaliate against me." Olivia said tearfully, "We should find Bella. I'll ask her. It's all my fault and has nothing to do with you. I think Bella will definitely understand."

Although Bella was driven away by her, Olivia was still worried that Bella would come back. So she kept thinking about how to make Bella leave this city forever to avoid future troubles, otherwise her dream of being Mrs. Mason would always be uneasy.
