Chapter 1979 A Happy Gathering

Bella ordered a few of her favorite dishes, and in no time, all the dishes were served.

Rachel suggested that everyone take a photo together.

Everyone agreed without any objections.

The cellphone was handed over to the waiter.

The five of them shifted around and sat in a row.

The two men on the farthest sides were Gareth and Vincent.

Naturally, next to Gareth sat Elisa, who was sitting beside the host, Rachel.

Beside Rachel sat Bella, who seemed slightly ill at ease.

Vincent sat next to Bella.

The moment the shutter clicked, the gazes of Elisa and Gareth unintentionally met.

Vincent's gaze swept past Bella and landed on Rachel.

Only Rachel and Bella were looking directly at the camera.

But the one thing everyone shared was a genuine smile on their faces.

After taking the photos, they ate together.

The meal was enjoyed in peace and harmony, without talking about work or the bothersome Kaylee.

They chatted about some interesting events recently.

The main point was Vincent was the one who told the stories and everyone was listening. From time to time, they

laughed sincerely from the heart.

...

They had eaten quite a lot, and it was about time for everyone to leave.

Bella went to the bathroom, and Rachel went to settle the bill.

Elisa felt a bit dizzy from her drinks, and was carried away by Gareth first.

As they were leaving, they were still muttering about getting together again next time.

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Gareth's lips, knowing she must also enjoy gathering with her good friends.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be this happy. Hence even someone who didn't usually drink had gotten herself drunk.

Gareth was contemplating when to set up another gathering.

He carried Elisa, and walked slowly as if he was holding his entire world in his arms.

Because she was only gentle and obedient when she was asleep.

Vincent waited for Rachel right where he stood.

Rachel wanted to leave with Bella, but she didn't know why she left early.

Vincent's lips curled up in a smirk watching Bella walk out alone.

It seemed that Bella could read the room very well.

Indeed, she didn't want to be a third wheel, so she left on her own.

A total of five people came out to dine, and there were two couples. Bella shook her head as she was a bit of

helpless.

Bella was in good spirits today, so she chose not to take a cab home, but to walk instead.

The cool breeze blew, dispersing much of the alcohol effect.

If I go home at this hour, Grandma will surely be asleep. But I also don't want to wake up tomorrow morning feeling

all hungover.

As Bella was walking, she stumbled upon a group of people fighting at a street food stall.

She initially didn't want to meddle in others' affairs and intended to leave directly.

But upon seeing the face of one of them, she stopped in her tracks.

That person was none other than Mike.

He stood alone, facing five or six burly men with tattooed arms. Just looking at them was enough to make one's

heart quiver.

He seemed not the least bit afraid, but standing tall and straight. It was as if he was ready to charge and fight that

group of people at any moment.

After much contemplation, Bella furrowed her brows and decided to step forward. She positioned herself between

the two groups of people.

Four or five burly men looked at her in confusion, whispering among themselves, “Does anyone know her?”

Bella didn't care in the slightest, she just winked at Mike.

Only then did he recognize that the person in front of him was the deputy CEO of Benett Corporation.

But there was no excess emotion on his face, as if he was looking at a stranger.

“Miss, we have some private matters to attend to. Please don't stand here for we don't want any innocent

bystanders to get hurt.” The group of burly men were surprisingly polite, wanting to clear the area before they

started their fight.

Bella chuckled, but did not move.
