Chapter 178
"Forget it, we're really not suitable for each other. He's just too funny in private, and besides, I don't want to be in a relationship right now. Being single is so free, anyway, it's my parents who are anxious, not me," Bella replied.
Agnes pouted, feeling indignant for Kevin. "Then why did you accept such an expensive purse from Kevin?"
"Agnes, isn't my photo worth at least a purse? Besides, we took a lot of intimate photos, enough for him to show his family."
Agnes was quite helpless, "As long as you guys are happy!"
"Of course. By the way, guess who we ran into at Sunrise International Shopping Mall?"
"Who?"
"Michael! Why didn't you tell him you married Mr. Neville? He still thinks you married Kevin!"
Agnes knew it well, she was unwilling to explain so much to Michael. If she didn't explain it well, he might think she was showing off again. She said indifferently, "What's the point of explaining so much? We have nothing to do with each other now."
"That's true, but I'm really curious. If Faith knew you are now Mrs. Neville, her expression would be very interesting." Bella half-lay on the couch, her laughter carrying a hint of mischief.
Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a group of people walked in. "Mr. Thomas, this is the room."
A group of business people in suits walked in, and everyone saw Bella half-lying on the couch. Bella quickly stood up from the couch and tidied her clothes.
Kevin looked at her suspiciously. "What are you doing here?"
Bella shook the phone in her hand. "It was too noisy outside, so I came here to take a call. I'm leaving now."
Kevin nodded. As Bella was about to leave, he called her again, "Bella, my dad wants me to take you to my house for dinner."
Bella's eyes widened. "Meet the parents?"
Kevin nodded indifferently, "Yeah, I'm also helpless. See you when you're free. Whether you want purses, cosmetics, or other things, it's all fine."
Bella felt that Kevin's words sounded so awkward.
Agnes heard Kevin's voice and immediately told Bella, "Hey, let Kevin take the call, I have something to talk to him about."
Kevin took the phone and saw the call had lasted for 18 minutes, with the note "Dear Agnes." He immediately put on a professional smile and said gently, "Hello, Mrs. Neville, what do you need?"
Bella rolled her eyes. "Kevin, could you please stop wearing that fake face?"
Agnes was also speechless, but hearing Bella say that, she couldn't help but laugh. Thinking of the serious matter, she tentatively asked, "Kevin, what do you think of Bella?"
Kevin answered quite officially, "My parents were quite satisfied after seeing the photos."
Agnes laughed. "How about you two make it real?"
Kevin glanced at Bella leaning against the wall. "It's possible, but Bella likes Mr. Neville..."
Before he could finish, Bella interrupted fiercely, "Who likes Elliot? Let me tell you, I've long given up! Don't talk nonsense in the future!"
Kevin quickly nodded. "Okay, I know, I was wrong, Mrs. Neville. I still have clients to entertain here, I'll contact Bella later to discuss meeting my parents."
"What? So soon!" Agnes was shocked.
Kevin handed the phone back to Bella and whispered mysteriously in her ear, "Tonight's contract is quite important. If I don't get it, my bonus for the second half of the year will be in jeopardy. I'll call you after I'm done here."
His sudden closeness made Bella a bit uncomfortable, but she still forced a smile. "What does it have to do with me?"
Kevin threw out a bait. "After the New Year, Sunrise International Shopping Mall will launch many new products. How about this, two new products in exchange for you going to my house for dinner? Just a meal! Absolutely nothing else!"
Recently, Bella's finances were tightly controlled by Jody. She hesitated for a moment, thinking it was just a meal, not marriage. Finally, she nodded decisively. "Deal!"
Kevin smiled and patted her on the shoulder. "If I get the contract, I'll treat you to dinner!"
Bella looked at him confusedly, wondering when their relationship had gotten so good. He was buying her things, meeting the parents, and now treating her to dinner.
Before entering the private room, Bella suddenly remembered she was still on the phone with Agnes. "Agnes, are you still there?"
"Yes, I heard everything. Bella, Kevin is much more reliable than Elliot, consider it?"
Bella hesitated for a moment. "I'll think about it."
Agnes obviously thought things were too simple. Even if she didn't go out, someone would always come to her. Just like now, while she was having a heated discussion with Bella, a maid knocked on the door and told her Tiffany was looking for her and was waiting downstairs.
Agnes quickly ended the call and asked curiously, "Do you know what it's about?"
"She didn't say," the maid replied.
Agnes knew she needed to go down and couldn't keep Tiffany waiting. When she arrived in the downstairs living room, she saw Tiffany and Lydia sitting there, with several busy maids nearby.
Tiffany's face didn't look good. After seeing her come down, Lydia immediately asked, "Agnes, have you seen grandma's bracelet?"
"No, I haven't! I've been in my room all the time. What happened?"
Lydia looked at her thoughtfully and answered disappointedly, "Grandma's bracelet is missing. It was fine yesterday, but today we can't find it anywhere."
Agnes nodded and comforted Tiffany, "Sometimes things are just strange like that. The more you want to find it, the harder it is to find. When you stop looking, it suddenly appears one day."
Tiffany gave her a cold glance. "Are you saying I shouldn't look for it?"
Agnes closed her mouth, feeling a bit embarrassed.
At this moment, Elliot came down yawning. She didn't expect him to be here.
Elliot's eyes lit up when he saw Agnes and quickly ran over. "Agnes, didn't you go out to play?"
"No!" Agnes didn't hide her disdain for him.
Elliot pretended not to see it and flattered her, "Don't know where to go? How about a drive? Or shopping? I'll buy you whatever you want, how about that?"
Didn't he know she was his elder? How dare he say that? Agnes refused angrily, "No!"
"Hey, don't reject me so quickly. Don't you think I look pretty good?" Saying this, he narcissistically adjusted his freshly styled hair.
