Chapter 246

“Yeah, life was not so kind to me in the beginning. But…yeah…, I’m glad I met the right people, including you, Boss.” Leo answers her awkwardly.

“Alright, enough with the chit-chat. Let’s talk about work Bella said softly, but her eyes stared thoughtfully at Leo as if she signaled him to return to discussing work.

That gaze caused Leo to nod in a hurry.

They started discussing Stefan’s arrival. Bella already assigned Leo to prepare Stefan’s place and temporary office during his stay in this city.

She hears everything about the progress in silence.

“His bedroom is already ready upstairs… Overall, everything is ready. His office has also finished. We only need to buy a high-tech computer for him Leo explained.

“There is no need to buy anything. Let him buy himself because only he knows what he needs. You only need to provide him with space and funds Suddenly, she paused for a while as if thinking about something.

After several seconds, Bella looks at Leo again, “Leo, you don’t need to ask for money from the company. Just ask me. I will use my personal money for what Stefan needs during his stay here p>

Leo was confused as to why she suddenly changed her mind. And why does she use her own money?

“Bella, I know you are super rich, and your husband is too. However, it does not feel right if you use your own money.” Leo expresses his concern for her.

“Stefan is also here to work for the company and not merely handle your personal matters. I think Jack or Harper will be OK if you use company money for him, right?” His eyes narrowed as he looked at her, curious to know her reason.

Bella chuckled when she realized Leo didn’t actually understand her.

She couldn’t risk Stefan’s identity. He is their precious asset, their top hacker in the company. If his identity were exposed, his life would become a target for evil people outside. Someone might even kidnap or eliminate him.

That’s why Jack has been overprotective of Stefan since he joined the company; only a few people know his real name, and others know that Stefan is Jack Foster’s assistant, using an alias named Gael Foster.

Stefan uses Jack’s last name to tell people that he still has a family relationship with Jack Foster and to prevent people from asking about him further.

“You must know that Stefan’s identity was top secret, right?” When she saw him nod, she continued. “If we use company money to set up his temporary office, many eyes will be curious why we built a super advanced computer room in this building,” Bella explained.

Leo suddenly understands Bella’s reason. Indeed, a few people in the company, especially in the finance department, will know about him.

“OK, Boss. I understand p>

“Thank you. How about his flight p>

“He already emailed me his flight schedule. He will land tomorrow at 10 a.m p>

“Good,” said Bella excitedly because she would be working alongside Stefan again, like before. She really needed him now to help her take care of her personal matters and many other things at Quantum Capital.

Leo asked Bella, “Are you sure you can go to the airport tomorrow? Did your hubby know about it p>

He doubted whether Bella could come with them to pick up Stefan. Following yesterday’s incident, Tristan may not allow her to go to public spaces like the airport.

Bella’s expression slowly turned worried, hearing Leo’s words. She knew what he was trying to say.

This morning, she heard from Sam that five people, Tristan’s guards, had been added to this building; they would guard her.

Tristan’s people will follow her around if she plans to go to the airport tomorrow. It would be a hassle to visit the airport with many people following her around, right p>

Two people are still OK. But five? That’s too much. People who saw her in the airport with five bodyguards following her probably thought she was a Hollywood movie star or a K-pop idol.

Bella slowly shook her head, trying to shake off those pictures in her mind.

Gosh!

She hated too much attention from other people.

’It looks like I need to discuss this matter with Tristan p>

Silently taking a deep sigh, she said, “We will see tomorrow p>

They continued again discussing a few things about Stefan’s arrival arrangement and their subsidiary company.

Later,

Leo finally excused himself. However, before Leo could leave, Bella suddenly brought up the matter of Laura Kiels.

The last information Bella hears is that the police have already arrested a few people who have been spreading hoaxes about their company. But she doesn’t have time to open the Internet to read the public sentiment.

Instantly, the light in Leo’s eyes turns brighter; he can’t hold it anymore to tell Bella about it. He likes gossiping about those matters.

“Boss, the news about Stellar is almost gone. But, you won’t believe the NEW trending news out there He grinned.

“Is there any other news that could overtake that woman’s scandal?” She frowned.

“No. I mean… this isn’t about Laura’s fans but about Laura herself. Before I came here to meet you, the trending topic was discussed; all of Laura Kiels’ social media accounts suddenly disappeared—” Leo stopped talking when something crossed his mind.

He paused and thought for a moment before asking, “Did you ask Stefan to delete all of Laura Kiels’ social media p>

“I don’t have much time to deal with Laura Kiels. Imprisoning her cyber army was enough to teach her a lesson and prevent her from returning to the entertainment business,” Bella said, shaking her head slowly. “Why do I need to do anything else?” she chuckled.

“Hahaha suddenly Leo laughed. “You are right, Boss… You are right. But this is suspicious; I guess someone messed with her. Is this Boss Tristan’s doing p>

Bella slightly frowned.

“Well, I don’t know either p>

She doubted her husband would do that. Tristan is now busy with his own company and doesn’t have time to deal with lowlifes like Laura Kiels.
