The Day He Matured

For three days in a row, I stayed by Richard’s side. I didn’t have enough energy to go to the company anymore, so I called Mrs. Erina and asked her to allow me to take a leave of absence for a month.

I want to have time to recover my body, I don’t want to go there with a face as green as a leaf and expect everyone’s pity.

I want to have time to take care of the man who loves me more than his life, and most importantly, I don’t want the bastard Brian to gloat when he sees me wither.

I will go to work when I regain the glory of a beautiful, attractive woman.

“Are you going to keep crying like that? Your eyes will be damaged.” Richard looked at me with sad eyes and whispered.

“I’m sorry.”

I tilted my head to the left and then to the right, wiped my tears on the shoulder of my T-shirt, and continued to scoop the spoonful of porridge, bringing it to his mouth.

Every time I look at the wound on his leg, my tears just flow uncontrollably.

Richard knew I donated blood for him through the words of his mother and Caily. Although he kept urging me to go home and rest, I was still determined to stay here.

Because he was worried about me, he had a traffic accident, so I felt very guilty.

After putting the last spoon of porridge into his mouth, I carefully used a wet tissue to wipe his mouth. Fortunately, this handsome face was not damaged.

“Bella.” Richard suddenly grabbed my hand and spoke gently.

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

“Bella, if you feel that you and Brian still have feelings and can resume the old relationship, then give yourself and him a chance. Don’t bother just because of me. I was very satisfied when you had me in your heart. Although it is not a position for the man you love, it is a very important position. That’s enough.”

Richard is advising me to return to Brian’s side, huh?

I knew a man’s hickey on my arm was the reason he said those words.

I tried to wear a turtleneck and long-sleeved T-shirt to hide it, but yesterday, while helping him clean his body, I rolled up my sleeve and revealed the teeth marks that had turned blue and purple.

At that time, his eyes were deep, and he didn’t ask any questions, so I didn’t explain.

Does he know how much Brian hates me? Hate to the point of wanting to turn me into a puppet.

He was getting engaged and then he was going to marry Hellen but he said he loved me, put aphrodisiacs in my wine, and put me to bed.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” I smiled and patted Richard’s hand.

I couldn’t tell him the truth, but I wouldn’t turn down the offer either. He has already agreed to let go of my hand, I should not give him more hope and make him wait.

I’m also not sure if I can love anyone else after deciding to retaliate against Brian and remove him from my heart.

At this time, Richard’s mother had just arrived, and in her hand was a portion of hot rice.

I feel so embarrassed. I wanted to stay at the hospital to take care of Richard, but his mother had to cook for me.

“Hello, ma’am.” I quickly retracted my hand and stood up.

“Uh, eat it. Please eat it all.”

My heart suddenly became much warmer when I received the lunch from her hand. Glancing at Richard, I saw him smile and nod.

His mother doesn’t know my hobbies but he knows them well. He knows I like to eat beef tendon, not lean beef.

And looking at these dishes, I understand that he told her to cook like that.

“Try to eat a lot of beef to restore blood. Even if you are bored, you still have to eat.” He said softly.

“Yes, I’ll bring it down to the hospital grounds to eat while looking at the flowers.”

As soon as I left the room, several employees from MK company arrived.

Richard suddenly had an accident, so unfinished work needed him to handle a lot, so every day, senior staff often came here to discuss with him and ask for his direction.

Talking on the phone is not very convenient because there are many problems.

Just like that, I hung around the hospital for nearly a month and every weekend I returned home to clean up.

Richard’s physical condition is also quite good, he recovers much faster than normal people. However, it would take a few more months for him to be able to walk normally.

“Two more days and you’ll be back to work. You should go home and rest.” Richard gave me half a peeled tangerine and smiled.

“I’ve been living in the hospital for a month, and now when I go home I feel empty.” I put the tangerine in my mouth, chewed, and spoke.

Finally, under Richard’s banishment, I had to say goodbye to him and leave. When I think about tomorrow I have to face that person, I feel extremely depressed.

How can I get revenge on Brian? If Hellen knew I slept with Brian but she didn’t scratch Brian but threw acid at me, I would have to go out and beg on the street.

Whether I like it or not, tomorrow still comes and I still have to carry my withered body to the company, but I’m not stupid enough to get there early.

When I entered the sales office, all the employees were already sitting in their seats.

“Welcome back, did you have a good time?” Mrs. Erina excitedly spoke up as soon as I approached the desk.

“Yes, very happy. Now I continue to make money.” I tried to smile.

I didn’t dare look into that room, in fact, a month wasn’t long enough for me to train my emotions to become calloused.

I wished that the curtain would be lowered by Brian forever, blocking both of our views.

I remember that day Brian said that if I walked out of his house, he would hate me for the rest of his life.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

It’s ridiculous. The things he’s done to me since he took over that hot seat were originally meant to be revenge on me.

“Miss Bella, come to my room for a while.” Brian used his index finger to knock twice on the desk and coldly spoke.

Oh, he didn’t call me, he went to my place. It’s such an honor for me.

Taking a deep breath, I stood up and followed him into the room. After all, this place is also an office, it should be okay, right?

If Brian dares to hug and forcibly kiss me like last time, I will hurt him immediately.

Brian quickly walked to the desk, took out a document, and gave it to me. I nonchalantly received it and opened it to look.

What caught my eye were words beyond my imagination. Hana Group wants to expand into the field of condom production and supply, huh?

But what is he giving me these messy requests for?

“This…”

“Right. I have to thank Miss Bella for suggesting it to me. So please help me. Research it all, from production techniques to distribution markets.”

My hand clenched so tightly that the thin stack of documents became wrinkled. Turns out, Brian was retaliating because I scolded him.

Are you planning to push me into a dead end, Brian? You thought I would be embarrassed, surrender, and beg you, right?

Dream away. Whether it’s condoms, gloves, or sacks, I’m not afraid.

Did you forget that the person next to me is the director of MK company? That company is a leading enterprise in the country in this field.

Richard will definitely help me. I understand that Hana Corporation has no time to invest in such small things, it’s just that the guy is trying to make it difficult for me.

“I will do this, but… I need time to research the market as well as production-related issues. Therefore, I will often be absent from the company.”

“For me, the important thing is the result. Go wherever you want. After two weeks, you must complete the task.”

As soon as Brian finished speaking, I bowed my head and thanked the guy who twice put aphrodisiacs in my wine and raped me, then walked away quickly.

In the next two weeks, I will go back to the hospital and be next to Richard. I will ask him to help me and continue to repay him, helping his mother take care of him.

“Are you going out to meet customers, Bella?” Mrs. Erina quickly spoke up when she saw me carrying my bag on my shoulder.

“Yes, the big boss gave me a new task, I have to complete it.” I smiled and glanced at the creature wearing an expensive suit who was throwing me an angry look.

Leaving the big gate, I felt completely relieved.

After buying some grapes and apples, I returned home, took off my work clothes, put on a simple floral dress, and took a taxi to the city hospital.

When Richard saw my face appear, he froze.

“Bella, why don’t you go to work?”

“Ah. I’m here to work.”

Not to let Richard be more surprised, I swooped down, grabbed his hand, explained everything, and earnestly asked for his help. But I said the general director assigned it to me, without mentioning Brian.

I know that’s not right. Who would help a company that will become a competitor in the near future?

But because I believed that this was just an excuse that Brian used to torment me, I came here to ask for help from Richard.

“Can you help me? I know that is…”

“Of course, silly girl. It’s Okay. I will support you within the scope your boss requires. Even though Hana Group has a good reputation in the fields of real estate, banking, and finance, there is no way to compete with me in this field. The MK brand has affirmed its position in the international arena. Moreover, if there are a hundred sellers, there are ten thousand buyers. What do you worry about?”
