FreeNovelChapter 389
Bella‘s POV: “What are you thinking about?” I asked. Herbert glanced at me and said, “It‘s nothing. It‘s
about work.” Herbert didn‘t want to mention anything about himself. I took the initiative to ask, but he
didn‘t want to communicate with me.
This made me a little unhappy.
“I‘m sleepy. I‘m going to sleep.” After that, I turned around and lay down with my back to him. Then, he
turned off the wall lamp in the room.
It was dark in the room, with only a little moonlight shining through the window.
My eyes were still open. I didn‘t know what Herbert was thinking about. He didn‘t want to tell me what
happened to him, and he didn‘t want to remarry me. “Does he not want to live with me? Or does he
have other ideas in his heart?”
I could feel that he didn‘t have any other women because he didn‘t have many social activities now. He
would come home after work. Of course, he always went to New York these days. Sometimes he lived

No! That was impossible. Herbert was not a playboy. He wouldn‘t keep any women in New York.
I didn‘t dare to ask. If I found out that he was not ready to get married, I would be sad. After all, I had
given birth to the two children for him. Now I wanted a sense of security. A hand came from behind and
wrapped around my waist. I lowered my head and looked at the hand on my waist. Although I had
something on my mind, I still covered the big hand with my hand. “It‘s all right if we don‘t get married.
Anyway, there is no difference between now and after marriage.” I would focus on my career. Maybe it
could distract my attention. The next morning, I sat at my desk and made a decision.
I was going to resign, and then I would start my own company.
I had earned more than two hundred thousand dollars by selling shares, and I had the capital of
another two hundred thousand dollars after leaving the brooch at the pawn shop. In total, I had more
than four hundred thousand dollars, which could be used to open a small accounting firm. I didn‘t want
to work anymore. I had to be a boss this time. Whether I would succeed or fail, I had to try it at least
once.
After thinking about it, I opened the stock account and looked at the shares that I had invested. I felt
that the stock market was not very good recently, and it was time to cut off. Therefore, I sold the stock
at the current price, and then I called Joey. “Why are you calling me during work time? Are you bored?
Do you want to chat with me?” After Joey answered the phone, I heard her clear voice.
‘Joey, I‘m serious. I just sold all my stocks. I feel that the stock market is not very good recently. Sell
yours when you can.” I said seriously, not as teasing as usual. Hearing this, Joey couldn‘t help but say,
“Bella, are you stupid? Now that the stocks look good, you‘ve sold them all!”
“The stocks will fall at any time. In short, listen to me and sell them immediately!” I said.
“I know, I know. Someone is looking for me. I won‘t talk to you anymore.” Then, I heard a burst of noise
from the other end of the phone before Joey hung up.
I knew that Joey was a careless person, so I sent her a text message and asked her to sell all the
stocks as soon as possible After two days of hard work, I completed all my tasks, and then I went to the
general manager to tell him about my resignation.
When the general manager heard that I was going to resign, he took the initiative to communicate with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme.
But my attitude was firm, and he couldn‘t force me to accept it.
The general manager was very reluctant to see me leave.
I naturally understood. It wasn‘t that he couldn‘t bear to part with an ordinary employee, because if I
were to continue working in this company, he could get orders from Herbert from Wharton Group.
That night, I asked Joey out to have hot pot.
I was already seated. Joey came late with her bag on her back.
“Bella, why are you willing to leave your man and children behind and asked me out for hot pot today?”
Joey began to tease me as soon as she sat down.
I smiled. “He‘s back in New York. The children are taken care of by Gary and Miranda.”
Joey drank a big glass of water in one gulp and then said, “I knew it. It turned out that your man is not
at home.”
“I want to tell you something serious.” I suddenly looked at Joey very seriously. Faced with my gaze,
Joey was so frightened that she waved her hand and said, “If you want to introduce another person to
me, then forget about it.” Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but smile and then explained, “Don‘t worry. I’m not
going to introduce anyone to you. I‘ve quit my job!” Hearing this, Joey stared at me with her eyes wide
open and then reached out to touch my head. She cried, “Bella, I don‘t understand. Why did you
resign? Everyone in this company respects you so much.”
