Chapter 84 Which Side Are You On?
At that moment, Abella's phone vibrated a few times, and she picked it up to see that it was a call from Phillipe.
"Abella." Phillipe's deep and magnetic voice sounded, "I miss you."
"...," Abella asked helplessly, "What do you want?"
"Are you busy with work?" Phillipe's voice had a lazy and seductive tone, clear and pleasant. "Do you need my help?"
"No, thank you."
"I've been thinking about you all morning." Phillipe's longing filled his voice, with a lingering charm. "I want to finish all your work so that you can have time to be with me."
"..."
"I still have to wait another hour to see you." Phillipe sighed. "I want to video call you."
"..."
"Just for a little while." Phillipe guessed that she wouldn't agree, so he pleaded, "Just a little while."
"..." Abella didn't know how to respond.
"Abella..." Phillipe continued to pester her, "I promise it won't affect your work."
Unable to resist his persistence, Abella finally gave in. After a while, his video call came through.
Just as Abella picked up, she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Miss Medici, here is your coffee." Joseph respectfully placed the coffee on the table, not noticing her phone leaning on the tissue box, currently in a video call.
"Miss Medici, you've become famous again! Everyone in the company is talking about your glorious deeds, and someone even spontaneously wrote a poem for you."
"Oh?" Abella took a sip of the coffee, feeling a bit surprised.
"Let me recite it for you..."
Joseph cleared his throat and recited with seriousness, "Miss Medici gets angry, and you’ better be wary; Miss Medici calls, and you'll eat behind bars; As long as Miss Medici is here, the evildoers will fail; With Miss Medici, there's gonna be joy and hail! Whether you're timid or strong, I advise you to melt the ice; Miss Medici will end you with a single strike, sending you to God in a sec!"
Abella listened and thought, what the hell? The person on the other end of the video can’t help but laugh, as if the poem had tickled them.
"Miss Medici, from this poem, one can see the immense respect everyone has for you... Today, when you presented the evidence to those five individuals, it was truly impressive! Do you know what the rest of the company is saying about you?" Joseph's voice was filled with excitement. "The female employees say they have been conquered by you and wish to marry you! And some of the male employees are planning to confess their feelings to you after work."
Abella had just taken a sip of her coffee and nearly choked upon hearing this.
"They say that you have only been with the company for less than a week, yet you have already exposed seven major villains, including the workers on the production line... They are all betting that within a week, you will have Benjamin sent to the police station!"
Upon hearing this, Joseph leaned in closer to Abella, with a smile on his face. "Miss Medici, I bet ten dollars, I wonder if I can win..."
Abella casually replied, "Not enough."
"Huh?"
Abella's voice was lazy and drawling. "Raise the stakes."
Joseph's heart suddenly boiled with excitement. "Miss Medici, are you sure? If so, I will wager everything I have!"
"..."
"But right now, the evidence is insufficient. The police will probably release him..." Joseph felt regretful.
"Is it not good to release him?" Abella raised an eyebrow, speaking with interest. "I'm afraid that he won't be released."
"Huh??" Joseph couldn't understand why.
No one could guess Abella's thoughts, but seeing her confident expression, Joseph vaguely thought that he would win!
He must remember to raise his stakes later!!
"Oh, by the way, Miss Medici, Benjamin also has connections at headquarters... You need to be careful!"
"Mhmm," Abella didn't take it seriously. Regardless of how powerful his backing was, in the face of evidence, it would all crumble.
"Miss Medici, for someone as young as you to be so domineering, what kind of influential person will be bold enough to stand by your side as your husband in the future?"
Joseph looked at Abella's cold and indifferent face, unexpectedly contemplating.
Abella glanced at the man's face in the video. He was also looking at her.
Her aura was indeed powerful, but Philippe was not lacking in that regard either.
"Miss Medici, are you willing to bet?"
"Hmm? Bet on what?"
"Bet that your future husband will definitely be an outstanding person! Let's not talk about anything else, at the very least, he will be a handsome guy! Just look at your face! He won't be any worse!"
"You have too much free time?" Abella casually replied. "How about you temporarily take over one of those five positions?"
"Miss Medici, I suddenly remembered that there is something else I need to handle. I will take my leave now."
He was about to make his escape when he suddenly heard a man's voice.
"Mr. Bourbon, these documents need your signature..."
It was John's voice as he walked into Phillipe's office, seeking Phillipe's decision on several projects.
Upon hearing this, Joseph stopped in his tracks. "Miss Medici? Did I just hear a man's voice? Are you hiding a man in your office?"
On the other end, John seemed to have heard him as well and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Mr. Bourbon, who is speaking?"
Then, John and Joseph simultaneously discovered that their boss was on a video call...
The expressions on their faces showed varying degrees of shock...
Especially Joseph, his mouth could fit two eggs!
"Oh, oh, Miss Medici... you... you..."
When did you get acquainted with such a big shot?!
"You... you're on a video call??"
Oh my god!!
Is he dreaming?!
He actually saw that handsome top-class face in Miss Medici's phone!!
Phillipe, ah!!
He's the richest man in the world, Phillipe!!
Wasn't he known for being cruel and uninterested in women?!
Why would he be video calling Miss Medici?!
"Oh, Miss Medici, you... you..."
"Abella, why not introduce us?" Phillipe's voice carried a hint of interest. "Is this your assistant?"
Abella!
Abella!!
He actually called Miss Medici "Abella"!!
What an intimate nickname!!
Abella, “...”
Does this guy ever stop?!
"Mr. Bourbon, I'm Joseph, Miss Medici's assistant... It’s my honor to meet you today!" Joseph quickly bowed at a ninety-degree angle, speaking with great respect. "I didn't know you were on a video call, my apologies for the disturbance... Are you Miss Medici's boyfriend?"
"Fiancé."
Hearing the word "fiancé," Joseph was even more shocked, his expression frozen!
Fiancé!
Phillipe is Miss Medici's fiancé!
No wonder Miss Medici is so domineering. There's such a huge backer behind her!!
Not to mention the company, she could conquer the whole world!!
"Thank you for your compliment earlier."
Joseph never expected to accidentally praise Phillipe. Fortunately, he didn't say anything wrong just now! Otherwise, his life would be over!
"In this world, besides you, I really can't think of anyone else worthy of our Miss Medici. You and Miss Medici are simply a match, a perfect couple!"
Those guys in the company are truly overestimating themselves. Miss Medici's fiancé is none other than Mr. Bourbon, and yet they still think about confessing to Miss Medici after work...
"Mr. Bourbon, please rest assured, I will protect Miss Medici here in the company, and no other men will come near her. You just tell me when you need me. I am glad to be of service to you.
Abella: ???
