Pebinor From the Past
Refusal

Bella is a little awkward but forced to blend in. Moreover, Leo is seen to be present with everyone involved in betting. Bella still feels debased even though the prejudice tries on the far edge.

Their smiles, their gazes as if trying to remove the skin of his face. Bella was down, wanting to think positively, but it wasn't easy.

"Eat it, don't just look at it." Tegur Anis stared at Bella's awkward face

"Yes, Mother." Where is Mas Nathan?

Ever since Bella entered, she had not seen Nathan even though her eyes had already combed every corner of the room.

"It's actually a party for what you're doing." Ask Bella. Than nothing to talk about.

"Don't know. Mr. Eldar just announced an open party for all the employees and office staff."

"Em." Bella chews slowly. Thinking of a follow-up question." Are parties like this often on the title?" The baby wants to know.

"No Bell. This is the first time Mr. Nathan has invited us. She's been anti-woman to the point that some of the female staff at the branch company moved in. All that's left is old people like us hehe."

Bella smiled thinly. His heart was relieved to hear that. But still, the feeling of going from there wants to be done. Actually he was lazy to be around Asian group employees after the bad deeds that Nathan did two years ago.

"Where have you been all this time Bell? Though Mr. Nathan has given a high position but you even moved to work."

Since his departure, Nathan has closed the meeting on the secrets of betting and the failure of the proposal. Only a handful of people were involved, and even then it was heavily denounced. Talking about it is the same as being fired. So that the news is kept neatly awake.

"I'm the Mama.." Bella was shocked when Eldar took her plate.

"My wife Miss." The tape is slow while putting the dishes on the table.

"Where's Sir?" Eldar just pointed towards Nathan who was already standing on the stairs." What's for?" Caught nervous.

"There are a few things Mr. Nathan wants to talk about."

All eyes stared at Bella so she was forced to step towards Nathan. Shame and nervous. Of course it is. Asian group staff and employees number in the hundreds. The Villa Hall was filled to the brim and now their gazes focused on Bella.

"What's this?" Bella whispered.

"I want to get you married." Nathan replied loudly. His voice echoed throughout the corner of the room.

It looks like Leo chose to leave rather than have to see a sight that is capable of heartbreaking. Bara smiled ridiculously because he was not sure what Nathan was saying.

Must be just acting. That's what Bara had in mind as well as other friends.

"What are you doing?" Bella asked as she turned her body back.

"To ask you to be a wife." The mood turned boisterous. Some of them are supportive but others tend to be derisive.

"What is this plan?" Nathan again shocked his heart. There must be another plan. Bella turned her head towards Bara who was smiling mockingly towards her. That made him think and guess if maybe Nathan was playing again.

"Just apply and they're a witness." He answered while pointing down.

"It's easy once you say it. You think I'll be impressed." Instantly Bella's mood became bad after she saw the smiles of Bara and her friends.

"I'm not trying to impress you. I just need a yes." Bella looked down again. The boisterous atmosphere made him even more fed up. It turned out that the pain that had occurred in the past had traumatized her a little.

"No! That's the answer." Eldar let out a long sigh as Bella came down from the stairs and barged out at being followed by Anis. But Nathan's lips were riveted, he was a little relieved that he had managed to embarrass himself.

"Price-only faces are expensive selling points." Nathan's gaze now turned to the source of the voice. He went down the stairs and approached Bara. Instantly, the disgraceful pangs stopped as Nathan clutched tightly onto the collar of a man's shirt called a friend.

"Try it over again!!!" Smiling strangely. A little scared to see Nathan's ferocious face.

"Are you pretending?" Bugh!!! Nathan smashed Bara's mouth to the ground. Eldar who saw the incident only smiled faintly.

The members of the bet should indeed be taught a lesson. It would be unfair if only Nathan had been punished.

"Agggggggghhh." Shouted Bara in pain. Fresh blood spewed out of his mouth until it littered the floor.

"Tomorrow, don't come back to the company." Nathan said loudly.

"What do I mean I got fired?!"

"Yes! I told you not to talk about it here. This threat doesn't just apply to him." Pointing towards Bara." Whoever has a lot of mouth, doesn't have to come to the company." The look on the faces of Bara's friends stiffened immediately. Of course they don't want to be fired.

"Wait for Mr. Nathan. I was just kidding."

"What do you care about me! Pack your things tomorrow." Nathan steps out, intending to catch up with Bella without a care for Bara's cry.

"You're the one." His friend whispered.

"You know what he's doing, right? It's so hypocritical he's not playing Bella right now." Eldar walked over and stared fixedly at Bara.

"Please persuade Mr. Nathan to revoke his dismissal." Bara begged. He did not want to lose his high salary.

"Warning has been given from the beginning."

"I didn't intentionally."

"I'm sorry Mr. Bara. I'll prepare the severance even if it shouldn't be necessary."

"What kind of rule is that?!!" Bara protests cuss.

"We're just messengers, then what can we do. Lucky I still give severance." Reply Eldar ketus.

There is no point in Bara pleading because the warning was issued a year ago. Nathan gave a stern warning if any of the employees were talking about betting. His sentence was dishonorable dismissal and threatened to be blacklisted.

Anis leaves immediately when she realizes Nathan's presence. Bella tries to download an online motorcycle taxi app so she can get out of there. But downloads always fail because the network is so bad.

"The party's not over yet." Bella turned to Nathan and then turned.

"You said it would change! Where's proof?! You still piss me off." Nathan sat weakly on the terrace next to Bella who was standing.

"I'm fixing it."

"Fix what?!"

"So they'll look at me low. My application was rejected by you." Bella's silent, she just found out what Nathan's doing." I'll restore your dignity." Imbluk slowly. Bella's hand movements stopped, she even canceled the download and sat down next to Nathan.

"It's been bad. Let it go." Answer slowly.

"I'm the jerk." Bella. Want to find lies that might be tucked away.

"Because that proposal was just a fake?"

"Not really. If you want, we'll get married one more week." Nathan again thrusts the ring contact and even pulls out the contents.

"I'm still lazy."

"Hm just wear it." Nathan grabbed Bella's fingers and put a ring on her ring finger.

"No!" The answer is to pull his hand.

"Suppose this is my gift, not a proposal. Don't get loose." The baby smiled wryly." I'll wait until you're ready. Once you're sure, we go to Dad to ask for his blessing." Bella smiled as she looked at Nathan from the side.

"My dad?"

"Not Baby. But my father, my mother's mother is gone. We go to the tomb sometime and I introduce him to you."

Even in the last two years Nathan has lived in despair. But he felt better than having to live struggling with the ugliness.

Bella's figure is able to make her return to the Nathan she used to be, when her late mother never forgot to give affection.

"Hm." The short answer was enough to make Nathan's mood improve.

"Want to?" Nathan asked again.

"When."

"Let's enter. The party is not over yet, I ordered some menus. You have to taste everything." Nathan stood up first and stretched out his hand while cleaning his pants that were probably dirty. Bella did not welcome a helping hand and stood up without help.

"I'd rather have Dad's chili." Bella walks first, Nathan follows her from the side. Was he not ashamed after this incident? Don't be tempted anymore.

"It must be good."

"Yes of course. You should have told me there was a party. At least I'm wearing a dress."

"This is beautiful."

"I'm not pretty."

"In my view, you're so beautiful."

"Within' a fight?"

"Only to you."

The chatter instantly came to a halt as the two reached the living room that was more fittingly called the hall. Without the slightest shame Nathan escorted Bella to taste various menus. Of course the guests chose silence rather than having to end up with dishonorable dismissals.
