Chapter 427
Bella's POV:
I walked out of my office and looked outside. I thought of something and asked, "He left in such a hurry. By the way, Is he still pestering you?"
At this time, there were only two of us in the company. Any went out to meet her clients, and both the receptionist and the accountant were out on an errand, so I had no scruples in my words,
Hearing this, Joey said with a little regret, "I've made it clear to him. I don't fancy a father. And I want to have many children in the future. There is no hope for me to be with him."
"Indeed. You made a right choice," I said,
At this moment, my eyes inadvertently glanced outside.
Suddenly. I saw that Emma's insurance company opposite me was not open today. I couldn't help frowning and said, "Why are they close today? Did she take the employees out for a trip, or did she organize a big event?"
Hearing this, Joey looked up at the other side and said with a sheer, "This morning, I saw the employees pack up their things and leave. I was curious, so I asked them. I was busy just now, so I forgot to tell you an important thing. "What's going on?" I saw the sneer on Joey's face. My intuition told me that Emma's company should be in trouble.
Joey stepped forward and said in a low voice, "I heard from one of the employees there that Emma's stepfather, the bald old man, Daniel Morgan, failed in his investment and broke the capital chain. The company may go bankrupt, and of course, it will affect a few businesses run by Emma. So the insurance company opposite us has closed down. I heard that the company still owes the employees a month's salary, so all the employees left!"
In fact, I expected that after Daniel Morgan fell out with his son and married Connie, his career would definitely go downhill, but I didn't expect that it would come so soon. It could be seen that the good days of Connie and Emma were coming to an end. Joey laughed and said, "Aren't you happy to hear such good news from me?"
"There's nothing to be happy about. That's their life." I said.
When we got off work, all the employees had left, leaving me and Joey to lock the door.
"Why don't we have dinner at my house tonight?" I invited Joey as we walked into the elevator,
Joey glanced at me and said, "Forget it. The four of you are happy together. I will be the extra one."
"The children like you." I quickly comforted her.
Hearing this, Joey pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's call it a day. You and Herbert have just reconciled. You should enjoy your sweet time. I'm afraid that Herbert will dislike me for grabbing you from him if I'm there, and I don't want to hinder you!" I pushed her and said, "Well, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Maybe I will affect your romantic encounter"
"It's good to have a romantic encounter. I'm really looking forward to it." Joey put her hands together and said,

Ding...
At this time, the elevator reached the first floor. I went out of the elevator.
When I walked out of the office building, it was already evening. The sky was beautiful today, and the remaining light of the sun dyed the sky red.
When I stepped down the stairs, I suddenly remembered the night when I first met Herbert.
Fate was really wonderful. It was just an accident, but it became inevitable in the future!
Honk honk...
At this moment, the car in front of me suddenly honked, which scared me so much that I touched my chest and stopped walking.
The next moment, I looked up and saw Herbert's head which poked out of the driver's seat. He said to me, "Get in the car!"
I pursed my lips into a smile when I saw him all of a sudden. Then I walked around and got in the passenger seat.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. What took you so long to get off work?" Herbert asked as he drove the car into the lane.
As he spoke, he held my hand tightly.
I looked down and saw that his big hand had completely covered my hand. I couldn't help but smile.
"I'm the boss now, okay? The employees are all gone. Joey and I had to check if the lights, the water dispenser, and the computer were still on, and then we had to lock the door," I replied.
A smile tugged at the corner of Herbert's lips. "Now you know that it's not easy to be a boss? Why don't just be my wife?"
"I don't want it!" I raised my chin. My attitude was firm, but there was a smile at the corner of my mouth.
At this time, I suddenly looked back and saw no one. I asked, "Why did you drive here by yourself today? Where's Connor?"
"gave him an off day. I personally came to pick you up today and we will go on a date ourselves tonight," Herbert replied. Hearing this, although I was very happy, I frowned and said, "But I really miss Lucas and Lucky." Herbert glanced at me and said in a dissatisfied tone, "I rejected a lot of social activities tonight and specially drove to pick you up from work. Tonight, you belong to me completely, okay?" Although I missed the children very much, seeing his dissatisfaction, I decided to comfort him and nodded.
Herbert was very happy. "Then what arrangements do you have for tonight?" I asked with a smile, and my fingers unconsciously held his hand.
"Let's eat first, and then go for a movie. What do you think?" Herbert was like a young man who had just started dating.
Although he was talking about a dull date, I still felt as if I had eaten a piece of candy, because we had never gone on a lot of dates before.
